the perfect nose ring.
true story. you can laugh now. or just think i'm ridiculous.
i am of the belief that facial jewelry should subtly enhance. i want people to see me before they see sparkles on my face.
so not too shiny. large. or neon. that's not so much to ask, right?
the keiosks in the mall weren't giving me much help. my diamonds always fell out {is it just me?! maybe i'm just buying cheap stuff...}
so, all i have to say is, i have found them!
this little etsy shop - holyland's treasures has beautiful ones.
etsy has become my go-to for a lot more things like this. for a lot of reasons:
-you're getting something that someone took the time to craft themselves. awesome.
-you're supporting small individuals & businesses. double awesome.
-& the quality of the items are better than anything i would buy at the store. at least that has been my experience so far.
all of that to say i have been super happy with them!
i got a gold & silver hoop & heart stud. & they have really pretty ear cuff's that i love as well!
so maybe this will help someone out that has been looking for just the right ear/nose/whatever ring.
& you can save yourself a trip to the mall, too :)
{first day i've dressed him in a real outfit. aka not a sleeper. thanks nicole ;) }
& for an extra special something, Holylands Treasures is giving away one small gold hoop
{like the one i'm wearing above & can be worn as an earcuff, too. not just for noses} to a lucky someone!
To Enter:
-just leave a comment! you have one week to enter & i'll pick a random winner next week!
i was going to mention how cute your nose ring was at lunch! :)
ReplyDeletethanks again for a lovely thurs lunch friend. i enjoyed every minute of seeing you and isaac faces in person!
Sweet, your's is so cute and dainty!
ReplyDeleteCute! I am a huge fan of your "subtly enhance" jewelry philosophy. Simple is best. :)
ReplyDeleteLike it! (I have this secret desire to pierce my nose, but I could never get either of my parents to agree!)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I had a nose ring for 2 years and a stud for 1 before that and I know what you mean about looking for the "perfect"one, it's a big deal...it's on your face. :) Those are lovely, I didn't really know about gold ones until recently. I had to take mine out for work but I saw that she has a nose cuff on there - great idea! I may have to check that out...
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! I've been searching for a perfect hoop for over 4 years! Not too big, not too tight..Yours looks amazing! I'd love to get one; thanks for posting about that shop.
ReplyDeleteLittle man is looking especially handsome

Cute!! I agree it's hard to find the perfect nose ring! This one looks super cute
ReplyDeleteOh, Holyland's Treasures is exactly what I've been looking for! I've had nose ring woes since I got it pierced over a year ago. After losing too many studs to count, I just switched over to a hoop but it must be too small or something because doesn't seem to be jiving with my skin. :/ I'd love to win but even if I don't, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've followed your blog for a while. Your little one is precious. :)
GREAT giveaway! I've been looking for the motivation to get my nose pierced again (I had it done a while ago) and THIS is it. Your nose ring is so dainty and cute. You're totally right, they see YOU before they see your sparkle. :) Perfect! (And it goes great with your cute sleeping baby. He's too sweet!)
ReplyDeleteOoohhh I'm always interested in pretty jewelry! Loved the rings you blogged about earlier!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, and never comment not wanting to be creepy, but I thought this was the most perfect occasion. Your life and family are beautiful, and I've been praying for Isaac from far away!
ReplyDeleteOoh! Thanks for posting about this! Even if I'm not the lucky winner, I'd really like to pick up some of these! I've had a piercing for about 5 years and have yet to find jewelry that I really love. Looks like this could be just the right thing!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love their ear cuffs. I have one from another seller on etsy and love it! Now I want to buy an ear cuff in every design from holyland's treasures.
ReplyDeleteI, as well have been searching for the perfect nose stud! Yours looks GREAT! This is such a great giveaway! Such a precious sleeping baby! :)
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! so exciting!! i have been searching for the perfect nose ring as well (see, not so silly)... and they're so hard to find!! thanks for sharing! and for the chance to win. (:
ReplyDeleteSo excited about this giveaway! I have always wanted a nose ring and I was so excited to see that this can be worn even without piercings. Love, Love, Love! Thanks for the opportunity! elleb@inbox.com
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I agree that it is so hard to find a good nose ring. I lost my first diamond one I got at HTC in Tempe and have bought many since then that just didn't cut it, I finally just went back and bought another one from them. Plus they will always replace/rebend it if the stone falls out. But I will definitely check out that seller, I can't resist a good Etsy store:)
ReplyDeletei know exactly what you mean about the search for the perfect nose ring. i hope i win, but even if i don't, i will probably buy a silver one anyway. :) (mine is too big.)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Simple yet sophisticated!
ReplyDelete"i want people to see me before they see sparkles on my face" - totally agree! I don't ever want ot be described as "the girl with the nose piercing" haha! And Isaac seems to be getting cuter with every picture!
ReplyDeleteI love your nose ring! But the little sleepy baby is the cutest accessory!
ReplyDeletelove the nose ring. super cute.
ReplyDeletethanks for the link to the website! i've been trying to find a new nose ring too and i agree, there is nothing at the mall that i want!
ReplyDeleteI love how simple this jewelry is. It fits my style perfectly!
ReplyDeletesadface, I took my nosering out this summer for a job. and a job I hated at that :/
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect incentive to re-pierce my nose. I have missed having my nose pierced!
ReplyDelete- Nicole Mahshie
i was about to buy a couple new nose rings, great timing!
ReplyDeleteI've been searching for a small nose ring for YEARS! these are the perfect size! i love the rose gold one they have on etsy! i'm definitely going to have buy myself a few pretty peices! Thanks so much for the tip!! :)
ReplyDeleteTwo things: 1) the ring is so sweet & the perfect size! 2) Please know I'm praying for your little family and for Isaac's healing. :)
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet photo. (:
ReplyDeleteThis shop makes such precious little things! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDelete:-) So happy to see this photo and this giveaway !
ReplyDeleteThat nose ring is the perfect size! I love it. (My diamonds always fell out too!)
ReplyDeleteHolyland's Treasures has a bunch of perfect pieces -- new favorite for sure.
PS - the sleepin babe is so precious.
I kind of love your nose ring! I've always wanted one but never actually done it, and now I want to again :)
ReplyDeleteThat shop has such cute little pieces! The healing period for my piercing is nearly up so I'm on the hunt for a dainty ring to replace the rather ungainly basic stud in place at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteI'd use it as an ear cuff because i can't rock a nose ring like you can. Love the detail that goes into the jewelry.
