I really love the Frasapeas jewelry shop on Etsy because it is as organized as I wish I were in my life. Everything is laid out easily to navigate, and it’s a very buyer-friendly site – offering alterations/adjustments, custom designs, bridal party ideas, and free gift wrapping/custom name tags (which come in handy for birthday’s/Christmas/etc). Everything about the online jewelry shop, from the green garnet and ruby earrings to the shop’s business card is beautiful and designed with great art and care. And you KNOW I wouldn’t say that if I didn’t mean it. There’s no reason to bring up a business card, after all, unless it is a truly wonderful little piece of art. And the Frasapeas one is!

The owner of the shop, Sarah Dematos, is incredibly friendly and approachable. So, if you allow me to get cheesy for a second (and I will, I’m the editor!) I believe that these pieces of jewelry are infused with her kind spirit. On her profile page she writes, “I hold this collection in dedication to my grandmother Rochelle, who is the essence of class, beauty, and the meaning of a true artist, who has inspired and cultivated my love of all things jewels.” Talk about a class act. When I grow up (never happening – mwahahaa!), can I be her?

I was sent the Pearl and Rose Quartz Necklace to review, as well as one for a very lucky ShesSmart.com reader to win in our giveaway. The combination of rose and cream colors used for this necklace gives an overall luminescent look. It is delicate and feminine, but also has a unique spark of spunk to it that keeps it from being totally traditional. Could that describe your personality? One of the smaller pearls is actually also used in the back of the clasp, bringing the look quite literally full-circle. It’s shipped in a sturdy box with a little satin-y pillow. Perfect for keeping it safe, or for gift-giving. In fact, Sarah did tell me about her packaging for necklaces, “They come in a 100% recycled box (as all my jewelry does), and is attached to a small piece of recycled card stock with the chain taped to the back so it doesn’t tangle in transit. I try to use as little packaging as possible to be a green as I can.”

With every detail so thoughtfully cared about, is it any wonder that I find myself a truly dear fan of the Frasapeas shop? Keep reading to enter the  giveaway!
