SHOP REVIEW: Paradise Beads Designs

*In exchange for pictures, I was sent the necklace for free. I was not compensated

in any other fashion, nor required to write a review. All views and thoughts are mine, and mine alone. *

OH. MY. WORD. This necklace!

A few months ago, I met Kristen - owner of Paradise Beads Designs - a fun boutique full of one-of-a-kind chunky bead necklaces.

How did I meet Kristen?

I had the pleasure of sewing an item for a customer - Kristen. After she received the item, we had a lovely chat. Over the course of our conversation, she mentioned owning Paradise Beads Designs and if I were interested in doing some boutique photographs on my daughter [for her shop], she'd send a necklace my way. Ummmm, yeah!!!

Shortly after that, THIS necklace from Paradise Beads Designs popped into my newsfeed. It was perfect and actually inspired my daughter's entire outfit!!

Made-to-match(M2M) chunky necklaces are extremely popular right now -- and I can see why!

I have a little, teensy confession. This is actually the first chunky necklace my girls have ever worn. Why? Honestly, I just didn't know much about them or where the best place to buy them or even whether my girls would be gentle enough to not break them. Until now...

I'm in love with the clasp on this necklace! (Note: clasps will vary from necklace to necklace and can even be made magnetic or stretch)

Here's an upclose shot of the Barbie silhouette adorned with rhinestones - so pretty!

As you can see, my littles are smitten with their new necklace... and will have to get used to sharing it!

Most necklaces run between $15 -20 plus shipping. Paradise Beads Designs often has ready to ship items (from Disney to holiday to light up pendants) or you can put in a special request!

A quote from Kristen -- " I double wire my necklaces, and honor my work so if one ever breaks the customer can send it and I will repair/ship back with no charge."
