Of the Earth Necklace Review & Giveaway

I’ve always love items with a patina to them. Have you ever seen a piece of copper that’s been exposed to the elements and has developed a beautiful turquoise hue to it? I think it gives the piece such a sense of history and richness.

Randee at Of the Earth creates jewelry that has that same sense of history to it – when I saw her Verdigris Bird with Copper Initial Necklace, I was immediately drawn to the aged-looking bird charm. I got the chance to review my own personalized necklace from Of the Earth – isn’t it pretty?

She’s got a lot of other beautiful pieces – I truly had a hard time deciding what to review! Take a look at some of her other offerings:

The quality of my necklace is apparent, too – it’s well-made and the length is adjustable, so I can wear it differently depending on what shirt I’m wearing. I love the verdigris color Randee applies to the birds, and the copper tones of the letter charm and the chain compliment it really well.

Do you wish you had one of these for yourself? Well, you can go over to the Of the Earth Etsy store and buy one, or…

One lucky reader will win the Verdigris Bird with Copper Initial necklace just like mine (with your own initial, of course)! This contest is open to all US readers. Entries will be accepted until the end of the day (midnight CST) Wednesday, April 20.
