CHARM FACTORY REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

Okay I have a confession, I love jewelry!  I love jewelry like most women love shoes.  It is hard to find jewelry that I think looks okay on me (especially earrings) but I love it when I find something that does!  So you can guess how excited I was when I found out Charm Factory was going to let me review one of their bracelets!

First let me tell you a little bit about Charm Factory - the number one selling point at least for me is that most of their items are MADE IN THE USA (if they import any piece from somewhere else it will say in the product details).  May not be a big deal to some people but I try to buy US products when I can, I own a Saturn Car and a Dodge Truck - and the truck and car we owned before these ones were Saturn & Dodge too.  I don't buy foreign cars why would I buy foreign jewelry - I very strongly believe if we want to change our economy we need to take action and support our own products!  Don't get me wrong - I buy plenty of products not made in America - it is hard not too, but when I have the option in front of me of foreign or American made - I will take American made anyday!


Okay enough about me preaching about my love for American made products!!!  Charm Factory has almost 5,000 unique sterling silver charms, braclets, beads and more and their charms are .925 sterling silver!  These are high quality products and lead and nickel free!

I chose the Wild Animal Charm Bracelet and I love it.  It is so cute (there is a picture of it below).  Plus with a two year old I'm sure you can imagine how much she loves when I wear fun jewelry so it keeps her entertained too!  They have a huge selection and one of you will get to pick out your very own Charm Bracelet too!

Here is the Wild Animal Charm Bracelet I decided on!  The picture really does not even do it justice - there is so much small little details on this bracelet and it is so cute, and it even came packaged in a little gift box.
