The best part about blogging is coming in contact with some really great companies and designers! One of which is Menuet Designs. The name Menuet refers to a classical courtly dance from Europe which dates back to the 1700’s. They currently sell their beautiful jewelry on HERE. I was honored when contacted by them to do a review on one of their gorgeous pieces. Before agreeing to do a review on this designer, I checked out all the pieces and really fell in love with this particular necklace- the Flower and Pearl Necklace. Most readers know I LOVE pearls and pearl necklaces and this is definitely something I would add to my wardrobe. It’s dainty, feminine and just so ME! I was fortunate enough to be able to pick an item that I thought best represented me and my blog. And I knew that if I loved it as much, then most readers would be just as excited!
WEIGHT:
I was shocked at the affordability of this line of jewelry. For the quality- the price point is fantastic. Items range from as low as $10 and up to under $40. This is a great price point for gift giving – especially during the Holiday Season. There is something for everyone and for all ages too!
LENGTH:
This necklace measures 17″ or 43 cm and the best part is that it comes with an extension for those of you who like to wear your necklaces a bit longer. The extension is 1 3/4 in. or 4.5 cm. I like it worn both ways depending on the top or dress you pair it with. Most necklaces Menuet Designs carries can be lengthened or shorten per request.
PACKAGING:
It’s all in the packaging and I love when things are packaged well. It just makes you feel good about your purchase! This came in in a cute little polka-dotted bag and inside was a pretty brown box with a blue ribbon and Menuet Design’s matching business card inserted. It’s all in the presentation and I thought they did an excellent job.
SHIPPING?
This is great news for my International Readers (including Canada)- Menuet Designs ships internationally! YAY! This is fantastic because I know some Int’l friends get frustrated that some companies do not offer worldwide shipping. So start shopping:)
VERDICT:
Love it and would definitely recommend it to my readers!

I also love that gold leaf bracelet. I wanted your advice on mixing white gold and gold. Since my engagement is white gold I haven't been wearing much accessories because I didn't want to clash. What are your thoughts? Can I mix white gold and gold?

@April- You can definitely mix white gold and yellow gold! I have a platinum wedding ring and I wear a gold right hand ring! And I always mix gold and white in my necklaces and earrings! Nothing wrong with it whatsoever! As long as you don't go crazy with it and keep it simple:)
@Liana- thanks girl! You are so sweet! I am getting used to talking in my videos- totally weird at first but now it's getting much easier 🙂
Congratulations on being chosen for this review. You did a great job. You are so eloquent in front of a camera! I love the necklaces in their website. Can't wait for the giveaway! BTW, what exactly is a glass pearl? Do you know how they stand in time?
@Vicky- thanks so much for the sweet comment! Eloquent..omg- I feel like so weird doing these videos…hehehehe
Swarvoski Glass pearls are different than standard glass pearls. Unlike synthetic glass pearls, SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS's crystal faux pearls have a leaded crystal core that makes them heavier, and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS's pearl coating is similar to a natural pearl lustre and is consistent in color. It is also resistant to perspiration, UV rays, perfumes, scratches and washing and warms to the skin like real pearls do.
I hope that helps! 🙂
This blog was absolutely fantastic. Lots of great information and inspiration both of which we all need.
What a pearl necklace. Really so beautiful and eye catching.
