It's hard to pick just one thing! I really liked lots of the bracelets, I think my favorite was the gold circles with a white shell circle. I'd choose that if I was to buy a bracelet because it matches a necklace I have!

I would love to win the family bracelet for my best friend's birthday. She has 8 kids and that make it kind of hard to have a mother's ring or something like that. This would be perfect!

I like the large, dark brown pendant that gracefully suspends from a shell necklace, item #100279-N. I have a wood braclet it would look great with.

I love all the family bracelets. I love to play with beads and have tried to do my own but these are fantastic. What great creativity that is going on here.

I loved the necklace (item 100157-N). She has a lot of really lovely things to pick from.
Just a suggestion, and I don't mean any offense by this, but perhaps Ms. Connelly might consider naming or labeling her products in a different way? I have a mental picture now of the lovely necklace I listed above, but if I decide to buy it I will have hard time finding it again. If it were called "Interlocking Rings Necklace" I would know right where to look for it. Or if it had a fanciful name...the "Phyllis" necklace or the "Mythical Forest Necklace"...whatever!
Perhaps this isn't an issue for others, and I don't mean it as a criticism of the company's gorgeous products!

Wow, so hard to pick! I love item 100342-N, what a beautiful necklace!!
Posted by: Bree | April 07, 2008 at 07:40 AM
I'm in the process of striking out on my own with my two children, so the three strand swarovski pearl and crystal necklace really speaks to me. It would represent our new life as a threesome instead of a foursome. (item 100343-N)

Oh, and I aree with Beth's suggestion above.
