Nelle & Lizzy {Review & Giveaway} Custom Stamped Silver Jewelry

{This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to those who entered!}

At some point when I was pregnant with Big Sister E, my husband came across a picture in a magazine of a ring that he knew I would like. As we had always known we would have two children, he set this picture aside and was able to keep it for a few years until both of our children were born.


When he finally showed it to me in preparation for my birthday, I was shocked.

Not only because he was able to keep track of something for that long (how many times a week does he have to use my cell phone to call his in order to find it?) but because he was right. More than right. Not only did I like the ring, I absolutely adored it. The simple, smooth design showcasing the custom stamping was classic and beautiful and I loved the way the bands overlapped and were forever intertwined.

From that moment on, I will forever be a devoted fan of Nelle & Lizzy.

After Lizzy, a mother of 3, wanted to have the names of her boys impressed on the outside of a triple band sterling silver ring and was told it was impossible, she contacted her friend and designer, Nelle. Following years of work, Nelle & Lizzy was formed and now showcases a jewelry line that is simple, yet absolutely beautiful.

From the day that my Double Ring arrived (the packaging is a work of art all of its own) it has always been one of my most treasured items and I wear it each and every day without fail. I had been concerned that, due to the double bands, it would be noticeable and uncomfortable on my finger or that they would move around too much and bother me but that is definitely not the case.

I also love the way that the stamping system that Nelle & Lizzy developed displays my daughters' names in a bold and noticeable way (and not at all cutesy), without the look of being scratched into the silver. Also available in Single and Triple styles, Nelle & Lizzy rings can be stamped with names, dates, phrases - it's up to you!

From the beginning days of selling their original rings, Nelle & Lizzy has grown tremendously and now also offers an array of customizable beautiful jewelry that takes my breath away.

The Ladder Necklace, which can be made with as few as 2 or as many as 6 bars, is unlike any name necklace I have ever seen. I love the way the bars stack together to form such a simple and unique way to display the names of your loved ones. If you are commemorating major achievements in your life, I imagine that this necklace would be a great way to stack important dates to display having passed those milestones.

I have never owned a charm bracelet, but I think the Because Two People bracelet is a beautiful way to represent your entire family in style. Not only do you start with the sweet "all because two people fell in love" saying, but from there you are able to design your own one-of-a-kind piece using Nelle & Lizzy's wide selection of silver charms.

Charms are such a wonderful way to personalize jewelry and at Nelle & Lizzy you can add them to necklaces, earrings and bracelets to create a meaningful gift that will last a lifetime. The finished product will be a custom piece of jewelry unlike anything that could be found in stores.


Looking for something even more simple? Nelle & Lizzy offers stackable Alphadot rings in all the letters of the alphabet, the 12 birthstone colors and the "&" symbol (which is very cute!). What a fun way to spell out a name or the initials of each of your children or grandchildren. These rings would also make a great gift for a set of best friends to have each of their initials stacked together (for example, E&B) in sweet rings to show their friendship.

If you like the birthstone option of the Alphadot Ring but would like to have, for instance, a child's name stamped with the stone, Nelle & Lizzy also makes a Birthstone Ring that would be a stunning gift for a new mother. These rings also stack easily, so when the next baby is born a second ring (or third, or fourth, or more!) would be a perfect fit on Mom's finger.

Every day when I put my Nelle & Lizzy Double Ring on, it reminds me of my daughters and the life that I have as their mother, as well as how they will always have each other as sisters. I love how this ring never looks exactly the same each time because of the way the intertwining bands move and overlap. One day one name is on top and one day it is the other, but the beauty is always there with me. Do you want to give the most amazing gift this holiday season? Or, do you want to own an absolutely stunning ring of your own from Nelle & Lizzy? Thanks to their amazing generosity...

One VERY lucky person will win their choice of Nelle & Lizzy ring of their own! This includes the Single, Double and Triple Rings as well as the Birthstone Ring, Alphadot Ring and Birthstone Dot Ring. ARV up to $98!
