Over at my main blog, Blue Scarf Girl , I wrote a review on the stunning jewelry sent to me by Michelle of Valebella. So here, so you can see just how lush the set she sent me is, is a copy of my review - enjoy!(:


The lovely Michelle of Valebella Jewelry Designs sent me a gorgeous mini rose jewelry set in lavender purple to review, so thank you Michelle!

She says;

"I am a stay at home mother of three little girls ages 1, 8 and 11. They are truly my inspiration. With the support of my amazing husband, I started Valebella in 2007. I love making custom jewelry and accessories. It is great to have a creative outlet and enjoy what you do."

I absolutely LOVE the set, as the ring is adjustable therefor fits perfectly, and the hairclips are longer than my other clips, so they manage to keep my whole fringe out of my eyes.

They're strong, and are so pretty! And since they're purple, they match my new cosmic leggings(:

The roses are really delicate looking, and are not too big or too small, and will compliment any outfit as the perfect accessory.

The packaging is lush, and if you want to visit the exact set that I now have, click HERE

The Valebella store is HERE  so you can check it out, as Micehlle has loads of other accessories, which are equally as stunning.

I'm a MASSIVE geek. Not even kidding. So when I heard this song I kinda squealed a bit.
