Here’s a little description about the necklace from her Etsy page:

This is such a cute personalized necklace. I hand stamped a tiny 7mm 14K gold filled disk with an initial and suspended it from a 16 inch 14K gold filled chain. This would make for a wonderful gift for a family, friend, or as bridal gifts.

We agree!

Welcome to our new website

It’s finally here!

We’ve been so excited to reveal our newly designed website, and can’t believe it’s finally arrived!

While nothing absolutely vital has been removed from our site, the navigation has been vastly improved, along with improved view capabilities of our Past Surprises, our blog, and our Subscription Options.  Now, instead of having a multitude of different products pages to decide between—there is simply one:  the Fair Ivy Subscription, and from that product page you can use drop-downs to select your type of subscription and even the number of months of handmade gift boxes you wish to receive.

Artist’s Shop: Coming soon!

We are also doubly excited because this new website format will allow us to create an Artist’s shop section, where you can purchase items directly from artists who have been featured in our monthly subscription gift boxes in the past.  So keep your eyes peeled!

Handmade Silver and Gold Disk Earrings

Last month, subscribers to all of our active subscriptions (Jewelry, Duet and Original) received these gorgeous handmade silver and gold disk earrings.  Made by Lustrous Elements in Texas, these earrings were designed specifically for Fair Ivy subscribers. We find them to be the perfect addition to any outfit—be it casual or fancy.

We really liked the packaging these handmade silver and gold disk earrings came in.  It was simple, clean and elegant.

The lovely little note inside states:
Life is a composite of little moments.  It’s the little things that make it sparkle.
We couldn’t agree more!

The artist’s get-to-know-me card reads:

I created these sparkly little gold filled and sterling silver earrings just for you.  They’ve been cut from a gold filled and sterling silver sheet, sanded smooth and given a satin finish.  They hang on my handmade gold-filled earwires.  My sincerest wish is that they will make you smile every time you wear them.

We couldn’t be more in love with these earrings, as well as the personal feel the entire surprise package gives off.  If you weren’t a subscriber to Fair Ivy’s handmade gift boxes back in December but still want to pick up a pair of these gorgeous handmade silver and gold disk earrings, head on over to Lustrous Element’s store.

Rose Soap & Grapefruit Lip Balm

December brought one of our favorite soap makers back (Piccolo Paradiso!), to send out her fantastic new fragrance of soap—Principessa, a delicate rose and exotic fruit blend.  Along with it came a bonus surprise gift—grapefruit lip balm!

The two scents—both of the handmade rose soap and of the grapefruit lip balm, were absolutely divine. The soap was the perfect item to place on a soap dish for an elegant lady.  The scent has a touch of vintage that sends our imaginations to a Victorian home with every waft of rose!

The gift packaging was also adorable, with little buttons and a “hand crafted for you” sticker.  Even the product labels felt so organic and lovely!

We know we can never go wrong with the handmade products from Piccolo Paradiso.  Didn’t get one as a gift in your monthly gift box subscription from Fair Ivy?  Not to worry, you can head on over to Piccolo Paradiso’s shop!
