I have to admit I’ve been admiring the beautiful hand stamped jewelry from The Vintage Pearl for quite some time. The pieces are delicate, personalized and affordable -  a pretty good combination in my book.

About The Vintage Pearl

The Vintage Pearl began in 2007 as a creative outlet while staying home and raising our kids. It quickly blossomed into a business and continues to grow! I feel extremely blessed to be able to work while home with my kids!

We use only the finest materials in our hand stamped jewelry, every piece is entirely made of sterling silver, from the chains to the jump rings, unless otherwise noted in the description.

Hand-Stamped Jewelry

I had such a hard time picking one favorite from The Vintage Pearl when given the opportunity to review something. Let me show you why…

I considered getting the perfectly sweet dainty drop necklace with my children’s birthstones. But my kids have rather unfortunate birthstone colors so I thought about personalizing it for my husband and me.

One option to reflect our entire family is the layered circle of love necklace. One layer has the names of our family and the other circle layer says “my hands are almost as full as my heart.” So true, so true.

I ooh’ed and aah’ed to myself about all the possibilities with the dainty eclectic necklace. Seriously, how fun is this? It’s a little funky but the small size makes it perfect for everyday.

And then I considered going a totally different direction with the circle of love bracelet.

See… I told you I had a hard decision. But, as soon as I got a good look at a flower and a circle necklace I knew it was the perfect way to represent my son and daughter.

a flower and a circle

a flower and a circle is one of The Vintage Pearl’s most popular pieces – and I understand why. The necklace features a handstamped, brushed and domed sterling silver flower and sterling silver circle and a single freshwater pearl. You can customize the necklace from your choice of several fonts and can add more flowers or circles to reflect your family. I had the flower stamped with my daughter’s name in the sweet cursive font and my son’s name stamped on the circle in the plain font. I absolutely love how it turned out!

I love wearing the a circle and a flower necklace. The circle, flower and pearl all hang independently on the sterling silver chain, resulting in nice movement to the necklace. Sometimes the flower is in front, sometime the pearl is hidden, but it is always so pretty and easy to wear. The flower and the circle charm are each 3/4 of an inch which is a nice size – the necklace is big enough to get attention (I’ve received many compliments), but definitely not big or intimidating.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… The price point on all The Vintage Pearl pieces is surprisingly affordable and the product is definitely worth the money. I love the endless possibilities of personalizing your jewelry and anything from The Vintage Pearl would make a great gift.

Or Not to Buy… It’s really hard to find fault with simple, beautiful and meaningful jewelry. Seriously. I love my necklace and can’t think of an improvement.

Shop! a flower and a circle necklace is $42 for one flower and one circle (and a pearl) on an 18 inch sterling ball chain. You can add additional charms for $12. Other necklace designs start at $32. There is also a tasteful men’s collection that’s worth a look.
