Ended Accessorize with Stella & Dot

I love to accessorize with jewelry. My style is somewhere between funky and feminine. I was recently introduced to Stella & Dot jewelry by a friend and Twitter buddy named Elise Lininger. Elise is a personal stylist who has a Stella & Dot business of her own.

Stella & Dot was founded by Jessica Herrin. Jessica believes that 9-to-5 just doesn’t flatter busy moms. She describes herself as “mom working” being the mother of two small children. Her personal motto is:

“Be daring, be different, be impractical; be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” –Cecil Beaton

Jessica had a vision of a new kind of company that would help busy women thrive and succeed. “Jessica wanted to use her talents to help solve the modern woman’s dilemma. How to find a successful career you love that you can balance with a bustling life and family? Never satisfied with the status quo, Jessica felt too many of the existing home based business opportunities offered ho hum products, high pressure sales tactics, and limited marketing opportunities with a dated approach. Worse yet, far too of these ‘opportunities’ just put inventory and supplies in people’s closets, and no profits in their pockets.”

I love this philosophy! I have had my own direct sales business several times. So many times it’s about how much you can sell and meeting minimums each month or quarter. It’s high pressure and very stressful. With Stella & Dot I get the sense that it’s just not like that. Stella & Dot is a two year old company that has grown 700% in the past year! Their trunk shows are no pressure, no presentations, no games and no gimmicks. You get personalized service directly from Elise herself. I really think if you are looking for a home based business, Stella & Dot is worth looking into. You can get more information about the opportunity here.

The jewelry made by Stella & Dot is so versatile and chic. There are so many different looks you can achieve while wearing their jewelry. Their jewelry has been seen in many magazines including Better Homes & Gardens, In Style, Redbook and US Weekly. I love silver and Stella & Dot has a great selection of beautiful silver pieces. They even have a line of personalized jewelry that I have been drooling over. Elise was so kind to send me a necklace and a pair of earrings to review.

I received the Vintage Clover Charm Necklace. It is so pretty on and could be dressed up for a night out or worn with a casual pair of jeans. I love the versatility of this necklace! It is made with a sterling silver clover charm, glass beads and a freshwater pearl. The necklace itself is made from silk thread and has a cute little button closure. It is very light, I forget that I have it on. The Vintage Clover Charm Necklace costs $49 which I think is a bit pricey but everyone needs to splurge a little now and then, right?

I also received the Coin Pearl Earrings. These earrings look elegant and are very pretty on. They are made of sterling silver and are 2 inches long. They have cute little freshwater pearl coins on the ends. I like these earrings and they would look fabulous with so many outfits in my closet. They aren’t something I would wear everyday but they would certainly add charm to any outfit! The only complaint I have with them is that they are a bit difficult to take off without a mirror, but is that really that big of a deal? The Coin Pearl Earrings sell for $24. There is also a matching necklace that you can purchase from Stella & Dot for $59.

I really am impressed with Stella & Dot on so many levels. I love their high quality jewelry and the founder just sounds like a wonderful, intelligent lady. I would recommend Elise as your Stella & Dot personal stylist. She is a great woman, very professional and fun to talk to. Elise has been so generous as to offer a giveaway right here on Moody Mama Says!
