Good Good Jewelry Etsy Shop

I've always loved pearls. I love how polished and sophisticated they can make any outfit look. I think they are a true timeless piece that's worth investing in, because they are the sort of thing that will never go out of style!

So when I began my search around Etsy for a genuine freshwater pearl necklace, I was super surprised by what I thought were high prices, ranging between $50 - $150. This deal lovin' garage sale diva doesn't spend that kinda moola on one necklace. But then again I did want genuine pearls not the fake plastic kind.

So I searched and searched around and came across an Etsy shop called "Good Good Jewelry". I skimmed the shop and was amazed by all of the pearl jewelry and the INCREDIBLE prices! I figured they must all be fake pearls, so I messaged her and asked straight up if her items were made with fake or real pearls. She answered me right away and said all her pieces were made of genuine freshwater pearls, except for one pair of earrings which she attached a photo of in the message and explained that they were made out of sea pearls not freshwater pearls.

I hit the jackpot of amazingly priced freshwater pearl jewelry!
Her pieces are absolutely beautiful!
Seriously, you won't believe the prices AND there's free shipping!!!!!
Check out the gorgeous items I ordered from her below!

           

      

It was a tough choice, but I decided on getting the long 46" pearl necklace and a pair of pearl studs. Ke, the owner of the shop, sent me the second pair of smaller pearl studs as a free gift! :) Thanks Ke!! :) I haven't taken the earrings off since I got them! Not only are they beautiful but they are also safe for your ears. The posts are sterling silver so they won't aggravate your ears at all!

Black Friday Haul 2013!

My Mom and I tackled the stores yesterday bright and early at 7 am! We were wimps compared to the hard core shoppers who started at 8 pm Thanksgiving night and didn't stop till sunset Friday night. Its funny, the US is really the only country that celebrates Black Friday and makes it such a big deal. I feel for the other countries who don't get to partake. It really is a great way to get your Christmas shopping done and all the while potentially saving you a boat load of money! 

I get that its not everyone's cup of tea to get up bright and early after stuffing yourself silly the day before. But my Mom and I love it, and make a tradition of doing it every year. I have no doubt we will continue our tradition until we are little old ladies. We may need wheel chairs by then, but that won't stop us from shopping till we drop {maybe literally}!

So here are all the fun things I found after a tiring 5 hours of shopping! I included links to the ones I could and gave the sale price, regular price, and store I purchased it at.
