Chella's Collection Review and Giveaway! Two Winners, Ends 11/24/12

I love jewelry. Especially jewelry that means something to me. When I discovered Chella's Collection on Etsy, I was delighted!

Chella's Collection specializes in beautiful Map Pendants! How perfect is that? We all have a special place in our minds and hearts -- for me, that place is Tybee Island, Georgia.

I was born there, grew up there... but I've been away from home for 10 years now.  And I am slowing but surely making my way back home.

This great shop also appealed to me because Mike is a Land Surveyor -- maps just touch our lives in so many ways.

I'm sure that you are touched by a special place as well.  Whether it be home or a dream vacation or somewhere "over the rainbow" -- that special place you've always wanted to see.

I was so thrilled when give then opportunity to own one of Julie's amazing map pendants.  I knew immediately that a map of Tybee would be my choice.

When it arrived, I just wasn't prepared for the rush of emotion that rolled over me.  I cried.  It's rare that a piece of jewelry can touch one so deeply.  But it did.

I haven't taken it off since I received it (except for showers!).  I wear it... I touch it often... it's become a comfort to me.  I feel like I have just that small piece of home and it makes me happy.

The Pendants that Julie designs and craft are simple, but lovely.  She constructs the pendants from copper, brass, silver, and gold-tone.    They are available in rectangles, squares, and circles.  And of course, the maps themselves are almost endless!

If you don't see your special place on the web site -- don't despair -- just ask!  She will do her best to find it for you!

Julie also creates custom-made maps.  Choose your location and she will do her best to satisfy your need!
