An Anthropologie Frozen Globes Knockoff Necklace!
This pretty necklace has shades of blue beads and a fun ribbon you can easily change out.
The tutorial to make this is here!
We have two sets of pretty Painted Metal Filigree earrings – these have long kidney earwires and are lightweight and fun to wear!
This pair is a fun pink ombre color – perfect for summer!
We also have a sweet embroidered pendant in pretty shades of pink! This is on a silver 18″ fashion chain.
Last up we have a fun wrap watch with a removable chain wrap. It’s a pretty blue leather band with open detailing – and the chain is decorated with silver charms and smoke gray beads.
You can check out the tutorial for the wrap watch here!

Monica says
I wear most of my jewelry all the time, I have my wedding band and I wear my engagement ring on the right hand, I have a magnetic bracelet I just got and a necklace that I have been wearing for years. I feel naked if I ever leave the house without those, but they don’t get taken off very often! I do love to switch out earrings and add a necklace to the mix, so I would love to win this giveaway. That watch looks adorable! Thanks for the giveaway!

I never leave the house without my wedding set and watch. I feel absolutely naked without them on and can’t stand not having a watch- I think sometimes I am too focused on time.
Michele @ The Scrap Shopp says
I can’t leave the house without earrings. I feel naked!! But the earrings might be trumped by my watch. I’m completely lost without it. I always forget that my phone will tell me what time it is!

Christy Dixon says
My can’t leave the house item is my wedding ring. I don’t wear it if I’m doing things around the house so, when I leave, my husband laughs when I go back for my ring. I’ve been doing this for 22 years now so he’s used to it!
Thanks for offering the gorgeous items! Adore the earrings!

Line says
I never leave home without my “engagement” ring: we’re not really engaged (no set date, so far…), but my Honey offered it to me for our first Xmas together, and apart from the symbol, this very light aquamarine & (tiny) diamonds ring goes with absolutely everything!
Hopefully, it will be matched by lovely jewellery made by you Bev…
Thanks for the chance

I don’t leave the house without a scarf or pashmina, even in the summertime. They are perfect to fold up in your purse and are great for those cold movie theaters and/or restaurants. Love them! I’m addicted.

Usually it is ear rings, but lately it is a blue bracelet, I wear it in honor of my little brother who was hit by a car and died. Makes me happy to look at it.
Josanne says
My wedding ring is my definitely don’t leave the house without accessory, but right behind that would be my “Love is” necklace with hubby and my first initials
Teresa says
Well, my rings (6 of them) never leave my fingers and my heirloom studs rarely leave my ears. The studs traveled from Cuba to the USA and were my grandmother’s, mother’s, sister’s, and my first set of earrings so I’m terrified I’ll lose them if I take them off for too long! And each of my rings come from places where I’ve left my heart so they remind me of love and happiness I’ve had in 6 different places!
Josanne says

EG says
Mascara! Does that count as an accessory?
Joyce Carter says
I always wear my earrings. I feel like something is missing if I don’t have a pair on. Love the ones you made. Thanks for the giveaway.
The String Empire says
Very boringly the accessory I can’t leave the house without is my watch – because I need it for work.
Melle E. says
I think my only don’t leave home without it accessory are my wedding rings. When i am all accoessorized, it’s a fancy day for me. I have a lot of classic, bland pieces of *good jewelry* but not a lot of fun, casual stuff to throw on with jeans. I mean, I have a diamond solitaire, but it isn’t really necessary when running to wal-mart. RIght? These pieces would be fun to play with for every day wear. :)

Melissa says
I also can’t leave home without earrings. I’m embarrassed to say it, but I often forget to put on my wedding and other rings after having them off for crafting or gardening or whatever, but I feel naked without my earrings!
MissMary says
Can’t leave w/o my watch. It’s pretty enough to read as a bracelet, but I’m logical enough to depend on it!

Cara says
I used to not be able to leave my house without a few large rings on my fingers and earrings in my ears….but then I got pregnant with my first baby and had swelling issues and couldn’t wear my rings, then the baby came and would pull on my earrings. I completely got out of the habit of putting on my much loved accessories and now I am lucky if I remember to put on my wedding ring!! It is definitely time to break out my beloved rings and earrings again.

Amy J says
I never take off my wedding rings (one of which is a 1930s platinum engagement ring belonging to the woman I am named after — my mother’s 9th grade English teacher) and the new rings that I wear on my right hand, which belonged to my mother who was rendered brain dead in front of me on Mother’s Day 2011 at age 64 from a rare autoimmune disease and died on May 17, 2011. I try to wear other pieces of her jewelry wherever I go, too, to remind me of her.
Handcrafted items of my own that I wear everywhere are typically fabric flower rosette ponytail holders and various handmade earrings.

Most of the time I try not to leave the house without my go to pair of silver earrings or a ring, but depending on what I’m wearing sometimes that “go-to” is a trusty bracelet. So I guess it varies with my outfit!

I’d say the one thing I don’t leave the house without would be my wedding rings and also a 2nd wedding ring ‘set’. the 2nd set is a matched set now but the band which has a row of channel set diamonds was a gift from my husband on our 1st wedding anniversary. Then I was given my Mother’s Diamond ring when she died and the setting had been broken for years so hubby had that set into another ring. The jewelry store my 1st anniversary band came from had an engagement ring setting that had just come in for a couple who had ordered it for their wedding which was not for about six months. Our jeweler called them to see if he could sell it to another customer (US) and reorder a new one for them. They were nice enough to say yes so he reset my Mom’s diamond into that setting. Now I wear two complete wedding sets side by side on the same hand. My Mom’s diamond was too large for any of the settings they had in the store in our price range other than the one they’d just gotten in on the special order for that other couple and bonus, it matched the band hubby had just bought me so that’s why the jeweler pulled it out in the first place.

Sarah says
I love jewelry, but the only thing I can’t live without is my wedding ring. it’s the only ring I wear, unless I am feeling bold and want some other rings on. I can’t leave the house without a pair of earrings on too. I feel officially “ready” when I have earrings on.
Dawn says
I do not leave the house without my keys and my lipstick! I am paranoid about being locked out of my house or car, amd I feel naked without lip color. I almost always wear jewelry as well. I make quite a bit of it, amd I love Flamingo Toe’s Anthropologie knock-offs. Who can afford that store’s prices?
Nancy says
I never leave the house without my purse or phone. I think I can actually do without the purse these days, but leaving the phone is a big no-no! Who knew that I would become so attached to my iPhone?! I love your jewelry, have made several pieces. The watch has been on my “to do” list forever! I would be so happy to win it! But if not I know I can make it!

I love your filigree earrings – they are very pretty. I never leave my house without a pair of earrings on- I don’t feel dressed without them. I often put some in when I am not going out- for just around my house.
Thanks for participating in the blog hop. You make lovely things.
Regards from Western Canada,
Anna

My “V” necklace. It’s just a simple V stamped into a heart, but the V stands for Veronica (my two-year old) and it makes me smile even if I’m at crappy work at the time.
