Ganesh Emporium - Review and Giveaway! - *CLOSED*

Tweet

Spring has sprung! It's time to put away those winter clothes, pull out the summer dresses and dust off those beach sandals. Sunny days are on its way and now is also an excellent opportunity to reveal your individuality and creativity with what else but jewelry!

Ganesh Emporium is run by Ramya, who is originally from India but now resides in Southern California. She loves to paint, sew, do gardening, some interior designing and anything that involves creative thinking. Even though she tries to do every bit of what she loves, her primary passion has been creating and designing unique jewelry.

Ramya fell into jewelry making two years ago when she visited the Gem Faire in Costa Mesa. She was expecting to see some precious gem stones display or something similar but upon reaching the venue, her jaw dropped in awe of the millions of beads, stones, accessories, pendants and so much more. As she walked around with excitement, she decided to buy a few beads and by the end of the faire all she could think of was to head home and start making a necklace out of it. Ramya learnt jewelry making from the help of online articles and video tutorials and kept practicing until mastering the techniques. Her friends and family suggested she start selling them online on Etsy and thus, Ganesh Emporium was born.

I was sent a purple bellflower bracelet to review. This adjustable bracelet is made with petite bellflower Czech glass beads on a gunmetal plated hematite look-alike chain. It appears to be a very simple bracelet at first but you'll never know what a fun and versatile piece this is to wear. Plus it screams "spring" so now is the perfect time to add this accessory to your outfit. So far it's held up really well and is so light weight I often forget I have it on until someone compliments me on it. Check out her Spring Line for more jewelry pieces if you're looking for great seasonal accessories!
