Opaleen Jewelry Review and Giveaway!

"Opaleen.com, a brand of Altyan LLC, was created in 2009 as an antidote to the run of the mill websites maintained by big corporations or jewelry designers. Most sell a large selection of bland, uninspired jewelry at outrageous prices. Opaleen broke that mold by offering affordable yet high quality jewelry that was and is always at the fashion forefront. We offer many pieces featuring 18k gold plating and sterling silver 925 as well as semi-precious stones, enamel, crystals, and beads. 

Opaleen.com intends to be the foremost website for all women who like costume jewelry with an elegant and original look. On the site, every woman can find something that is elegant for work, while out for a cocktail, or lounging at home. Opaleen.com is also a place for men who want to buy a unique and fashionable piece of jewelry for their girlfriends or wives without having to know about the latest trends. The brand stays true to the most current styles in costume jewelry and offers them to the customer before they arrive in fashion magazines."


I discovered Opaleen a few weeks ago, and love the beautiful gold and silver jewelry offered on their website.  They have bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings in unique gold and silver designs. 
I was sent the Avila White and Gold Bracelet, Venezia Heart Pendant, and Honfleur Bracelet in Purple for review. 
When the package came in, I was delighted with the wrapping of each piece.  The necklace and 1 bracelet came in their own little boxes, and the other bracelet came in a pretty purple bag (it was too big to fit in a box).

After opening the boxes, here is what I found:

Aren't they pretty? And of course, the other bracelet:

Love the colors on this one!

The packaging really made the jewelry seem even more special.  Each piece in their own little box or jewelry bag, and pretty, feminine colors for the wrapping, too!

The heart necklace is probably my favorite piece. It has a casual elegance that I really like!  The pendant is 18k gold plated, and has a row of cubic zirconia along the one bottom of one side.  It comes on 20" gold chain. I like that the chain isn't so small it gets easily tangled, yet it's not too big, either.  I will be pairing this with my Church outfits quite a bit :)

                                                 

The Honfleur Bracelet in Purple (this style also comes in pink) is a fun, bold yet feminine piece. I say bold because the flowers are big, yet the colors make it a soft, ladylike bracelet! There are 7 enamel flowers in varying sizes and shades of purple. This one is perfect for casual around-town wear. It's perfect for the fun, summery look, too!

                                      

The Avila Bracelet comes in many colors, but the white is my favorite.  Again, a simple elegance with this one! The bracelet is made of creamy white enamel, and has exquisite gold accenting.  This bracelet has a hidden hinge opening, and you can choose to wear it down on the wrist, or a little higher up.  

                                       

                                        

I was really impressed by my experience with Opaleen.  Fast, friendly service, and beautiful jewlery at affordable prices! What more can you ask for?!
