We Love Fridays: Etsy Spotlight on Indie Jewelry

Friday September 14, 2012 by Alexandra C.

I'm a big fan of cheap n' chic costume jewelry. It's inexpensive but uber trendy so when it breaks or tarnishes in the next month, I'm not too upset about it since it'll most likely be out of style already anyway. However, there is something to be said for finding real quality statement pieces that fit your personality. Pieces that you know you won't tire of because of their classic inspiration.

You might know that I'm a huge thrifting and vintage fan, so when I came across an Etsy shop called Petite Delights by iloniti, I fell in love with the self described, 'shabby chic romantic' vintage style pieces.

Here's a little taste of what I'm talking about:

I love the mix of high end looking luxe metals and beads with hemp string for a crafty, rustic feel. The colours are so feminine and beautiful and obviously gold is the best of what is glittering here. It's fresh and modern but very inspired by old school, vintage designs. Prices range from US$14.00 to US$52.00. You can check out the store here.

What do you think of these pieces? Are they something you might wear?

First the site glitched and charged me twice for one item, then when I contacted Etsy they said they couldn't do anything and I'd have to contact the seller for a refund, so I did. The seller, however, claimed that I was only charged once even though my credit card clearly showed 2 charges, and I even called my credit card company to confirm. In the end I got one refund for 2 charges and never received my product. Etsy wouldn't do anything to rectify the issue.

If you like turquoise like I do then you can buy some beautiful Native American turquoise jewelry and other things at this web site. http://www.pueblodirect.com/jewelry.html
