Initial Ampersand Necklace Giveaway

Valentine’s day is two days away, so I wanted to share a little lovey-dovey gift with you. I have been searching for the perfect initial necklace for a few months. I love the ones that have the initial, then heart, then other initial, but I really wanted one with an ampersand. I have no clue why, but I just really like ampersands. I finally found one from an easy shop, Minthologie, and it is simply perfect.

Minthologie kindly offered to send me a necklace to review and share with all of you. First, a little bit about Minthologie (I just love their shop name and learning about how her shop started). Minthologie has a hand-made collection of minimalist and modern jewelry pieces for girls and women. They use an array of pearls, gems, and metals to create simple and affordable items that will compliment anything in your wardrobe.

Minthologie started in December of 2012 when Madeline, the owner/artist, made jewelry for her  family and friends for Christmas. Her love for art and design has always been in the foreground of her life. Her grandfather was a calligrapher and painter. When she was a little girl, she used to grind ink for him while he painted. Her mother was a painter and an art history professor, as well.  Madeline always loved creating and making things with her hands and now, is excited to share her creativity with you through her jewelry.

She believes “life is vibrant and ever-changing” and she hopes to reflect a small part of that in her collection. Let me tell you, from the moment I opened the box, I was in love. The necklace is dainty, yet defined – simple yet vibrant. I have gotten so many compliments on it already and don’t want to take it off.The necklace actually comes in silver, gold, rose gold or a combination of metals. Aside from initial necklaces, she also has a wide variety of other bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Make sure to check out her shop!
