I am a chef, so I fell in love with these baby spoons! http://thevintagepearl.com/baby-spoons.html
LOVE the anchor necklace! Reminds me to keep myself grounded in the present when the seas get choppy.
God gave me you… Necklace. I battled infertility for two years before becoming pregnant with my son and was blessed with an amazing daughter shortly after having my son. God truly did give me my babies. http://thevintagepearl.com/God-gave-me-you.html
I love the gold leather and pearl charm bracelet. I can wear it for every occasion—dressed down or dressed up and feel connected to the charm. its the best of both worlds
http://thevintagepearl.com/gold-leather-and-pearls-bracelet.html
I really love this wrap ring. It’s different, interesting, and I’d love my kids names on it.
http://thevintagepearl.com/wrap-ring.html
Hey girl! I am LOVING the Morse Code bracelet!
http://thevintagepearl.com/morse-code-bracelet.html
I want it for a friendship bracelet with my friend Tim. I would get the words “My Boo” in Morse Code. TIm had to move to Chicago from our home town of Columbus recently and I just miss the dickens out of him!!
I bought this one for my sister’s 30th birthday: http://thevintagepearl.com/the-coordinates-of-your-heart.html because I wanted something unique and pretty for her. It’s great because the wearer gets to literally keep a special place close to her heart:)
I LOVE the love in braille bracelet. I love the silver rings and the heart with the word love in braille. Lots of stuff on this site that is wonderful. Thanks for introducing me to the site.
I love rings, especially chunky ones, so I absolutely fell for this one: http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-message-ring.html
I love how gorgeous and simple it is and totally dig the idea that I could create my own message on it. The possibilities are limitless!
This is a beautiful site.
Thank you for introducing me to Vintage Pearl – BEAUTIFUL.
My favourite piece(so far) is:
http://thevintagepearl.com/soul-sisters-rts.html
I saw a wall quote once that talked about best friends who are sisters that destiny forgot to leave behind. It reminds me of my best friend who is truly my sister. We are far apart and lead very different lives but are never a phone call or text away and have a connection the I often hear twins talk about. I think the soul sisters necklaces will be perfect to keep the bond strong and beautiful.
I LOVE the Secret Keeper necklace. As an aunt, I keep lots of “secrets” with my nephew π
http://thevintagepearl.com/secret-keeper..html
I love the Vintage Earth Charm Necklace! As an advid traveler, I love all maps, globes, and everything that pertains our world.
While so many of the items on the site were beautiful, awesome, and unique, I liked the idea of the morse code bracelet best. I think it’s a great piece of customizable jewelry and a conversation starter!

The Vintage Lovebirds speak to me due to my love of photographing nature and birds, in particular. You can check out my blog for my latest offerings. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a beautiful piece of jewelry!
http://thevintagepearl.com/Vintage-Lovebirds.html
I am a blessed to be the wife to someone who serves our country in the United States Coast Guard- with this being said it often finds us away from “home”. The item that I truly love is the Love my state necklace http://thevintagepearl.com/love-my-state-necklace.html
On days that I am missing home I will wear a sweatshirt, t-shirt, drink a cup of coffee of my favorite roast from my home town- this would simply be another reminder of HOME-
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-spinner-ring.html
Love this so much. Being a tactile person when stressed, it would be awesome to have a ring that spins! (Also instead of names on if, it would be awesome to have maybe a one word ring- “enough”, for those days I just don’t feel it and I need a reminder!!
Love the pearl nest ring…elegant! So hard to choose from all the beautiful pieces…
http://thevintagepearl.com/the-coordinates-of-your-heart.html
I love this necklace! A compass always reminds me of adventures, exploring and the feeling of sun on my face and the wind in my hair, which are a few of my favorite things π I also immediately loved this necklace because I have recently fallen in love with a wonderful man who is from the other side of the world from my hometown. We plan on returning to his home soon so we can spend some time living together there. Although I have no idea what direction out lives will take together, I am confident that there will be love, wherever it is.
There are so many things I love but I have to say one of my favorites is the He Holds Her Key Set. It is cute and unique! http://thevintagepearl.com/he-holds-her-key-set.html
I love, LOVE this birdie ring. Rings are hands down my favorite piece of jewelry. There is something so calming and peaceful about this particular bird. Its simple, elegant design is just beautiful. Totally adding it to my wish list! http://thevintagepearl.com/birdie-on-a-ring.html
The “love in braille bracelet” is so pretty! I like the dainty circles that make up the chain and that you can literally ‘feel’ the love on it!
http://thevintagepearl.com/love-in-braille.html
I love the words FAITH, HOPE and LOVE! They all speak to me!
http://thevintagepearl.com/faith-hope-love.html
I love this piece: http://thevintagepearl.com/a-promise-of-guidance.html
At work, I am prohibited from wearing overt symbols of my faith – this represents not only my favorite Bible passage, but my belief as well.
I have always loved your designs and thank you for introducing me to the Vintage Pearl. I loved so many things there, but I really think I want to create a unique piece and this one lets me – http://thevintagepearl.com/dainty-eclectic.html
Love the Chunky Message Cuff! Mostly for the message that speaks to being a dreamer bound by a notebook. Lots of time how I feel trapped in business world, scribbling down fairy tales at meetings instead of planning P & L. Love this design, love this phrase, thanks for the 30 second escape from reality…
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-message-cuff.html
I liked both pages on facebook and I LOVE this giveaway! Your cards are so unique and beautiful! I have been a huge fan of The Vintage Pearl for a long time now and I think my newest favorite is the Secret love message heart necklace! It is something so special and beautiful. http://thevintagepearl.com/Secret-Love-Message-Heart.html
Thank you so much for this awesome giveaway!
I love the puppy love necklace. http://thevintagepearl.com/puppy-love..html I recently had to say goodbye to my old laborador and this is such a sweet sentiment for those fur kids who touch our hearts.
The item that speaks most to me on Vintage Pearl’s site is the Carefree necklace. http://thevintagepearl.com/carefree.html
My wonderful friend Kim wanted to be a mother for years and tried to conceive but with no luck. For comfort, she would listen to the song Over the Rainbow. She particularly liked the line, “Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.” She loves bluebirds, they were her personal symbol of hope. This necklace speaks to me because it makes me think of my friend Kim, who most joyfully gave birth to a baby girl two days ago!
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-spinner-ring.html
Love this ring. I am a bit of a tactile person when I am stressed out…so this spinner ring is amazing’. Mine would “Enough”….
Big fan of the Birdie-on-a-ring it combines two of my passions, silver rings (I collect them) and nature. Spot on Swaggy, if you ask me!
http://thevintagepearl.com/birdie-on-a-ring.html
BIG fan of the vintage “birdi-on-a-ring”, I collect silver rings and have a passion for nature. Spot on SWAGGY!….if you ask me.
http://thevintagepearl.com/birdie-on-a-ring.html
I love the Vintage Starfish necklace! I’m a counselor and completely relate to the “Little girl and the Starfish” story – this would help me to remember that even if you can’t make a difference to the entire world, you can make a difference in someone’s world.
http://thevintagepearl.com/vintage-starfish-necklace.html
Love my State necklace! <3
http://thevintagepearl.com/love-my-state-necklace.html
I would love to have the necklace:
http://thevintagepearl.com/i-made-a-wish-and-you-came-true.html
It represents my son for me. He was a wish that I never thought would come true. He makes every single day worth living and can’t imagine my life without him.
I love the God gave me you necklace – because I feel so blessed that God gave me my two great kids.http://thevintagepearl.com/God-gave-me-you.html
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-sunshine..html
I have one Vintage Pearl necklace and I haven’t taken it off for over a year now. It was gift from my sister. Whenever my son is upset and I am holding him, he will rub the necklace between his thumb & finger and says, “I love this necklace”. I always sing you are my sunshine to my children and love this necklace. It was made for us. π
I like the summer bloom earrings! http://thevintagepearl.com/summer-bloom-earrings.html
I love everything from the Vintage Pearl. My newest favorite is the vintage locket. π http://thevintagepearl.com/vintage-locket.html
I am loving the “Extraordinary” necklace but one of my other favorites at The Vintage Pearl is the Pearl Nest Ring. Quirky with the classic touch of a pearl, I love the reminder that we are one with nature and our greatest gift is family and home.
I know I’m one in 100’s trying to win…but regardless I will try. You can’t win if you don’t try right? I found the Love Notes necklace. I LOVE Vintage Pearl and now have something new to love with Curly Girl! The Love Notes necklace is special because the last 5 months has been a very difficult time for me in life and I have come through as a stronger person! π This necklace is true encouragement, especially as a mom. Love to read these notes and know I’m special…I need that sometimes.
http://thevintagepearl.com/love-notes.html
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-sunshine..html
I have a Vintage Pearl necklace that I have not taken off for a year. I received it as a gift from my sister and I love it. When my son gets upset and is sitting on my lap, he takes his thumb & finger and rubs my necklace. He says every time “I love you necklace mom”. I sing You are my Sunshine to my children and this necklace would be perfect for us. He would love to rub on the sun! π
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-spinner-ring.html
When I am Stressed out I like tactile things…this spinner ring is perfect. Mine would say “Enough” to remind myself I am enough and I can get through whatever is stressing me out!
I LOVE the bird necklace!! I had a roots & wings first birthday party for my daughter and this reminds me of her – such a free and beautiful spirit. Thank You! http://thevintagepearl.com/carefree..html
I love so many pieces from The Vintage Pearl. My favorite new piece is the 2 piece locket. I love that you can put in a picture and have a special message stamped.
http://thevintagepearl.com/vintage-locket.html
Long time fan of VP new fan of yours and I am loving what I am seeing! Great shop! My all time favorite VP wish list items are:
Because we go every October for some family time to the same beach (mostly same house) I have always wanted the beyond the sea bracelet and let my girls pick the charms by what they love most about our visits.
http://thevintagepearl.com/beyond-the-sea-charm-bracelet.html
The skinny message rings are beyond sweet! One for each of my 3 girls.
http://thevintagepearl.com/skinny-message-ring.html
The “extraordinary” necklace you have pictured is my newest fave but I also love the faith and fortune cookie necklace as a gift for those close to me.
http://thevintagepearl.com/faith-and-fortune-cookie-necklace.html
Thanks for the chance!
This has always, always been one of my favorites from TVP… http://thevintagepearl.com/Vintage-Free-Bird.html
I would get this:
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-and-layered-ring.html
Stamped with “Elijah” he is my baby brother who was born July 27th and is still in the NICU
I have always loved these rings and would like to get each of my children’s birthstones. http://thevintagepearl.com/birthstone-rings.html
Love the rustic look with a beautiful bird. Love birds!
http://thevintagepearl.com/birdie-on-a-ring.html

Another favorite!
http://thevintagepearl.com/he-loves-me..html
I love so very many things from the Vintage Pearl. I own 3 necklaces currently that I love. This is one of my very favorites that I have yet to purchase: http://thevintagepearl.com/carefree..html Fri the 13 is my 30th birthday so picking me would be a fantastic present!!! π
http://thevintagepearl.com/golden-love.html
My favorite piece of jewelry (besides my wedding ring) I wear mine everyday.
I love a lot of items on Vintage Pearl especially the new extraordinary necklace. I also love the peas in the pod necklace.
http://thevintagepearl.com/Vintage-Peaes-in-a-Pod-necklace.html
I have had my eye on these stackable rings: http://thevintagepearl.com/birthstone-rings.html for a few weeks now. They are on my wish list! I’m picturing one with each of my boy’s birthstones and maybe one with the stone for our anniversary. Such a cool way to pay tribute to my three favorite guys!
My fave piece from The Vintage Pearl is the sweetheart jewelry box. http://thevintagepearl.com/sweetheart-jewelry-box.html I hav.e been looking for a special gift for my daughter to fill with little trinkets and special family jewelry and this is it!I know she will treasure it for her whole life.
I have been eying this ring: http://thevintagepearl.com/birthstone-rings.html for a few weeks now. It’s definitely on my wish list! I’m picturing a set of three-one with each of my boy’s birthstones and one for our anniversary. I think it would be a great way to pay tribute to the three guys in my life!
I love all of the vintage pearl products, but “I love you to the moon and back” captures the love for all those special people in your life.
http://thevintagepearl.com/i-love-you-to-the-moon-and-back.html
My fave piece is the sweetheart jewelry box.http://thevintagepearl.com/sweetheart-jewelry-box.html. i have been looking for something i could put trinkets and special family jewelry into for my daughter and this is it.i know she will treasure it for her whole life.
I already have a few Vintage Pearl pieces that I love. So right now my favorite piece I’m eyeing is the sweetheart jewelry box (http://thevintagepearl.com/sweetheart-jewelry-box.html). What better way to keep all my precious pieces safe?
What a treat it would be to give The Soul Sisters charm necklace to my friend who’s my go-to ‘sis-tah’ for all things good and bad. No one knows her like me and this is just her style!
http://thevintagepearl.com/soul-sisters-rts.html
I have been a huge fam of the Vintage pearl for years. I bought a Spinner ring (my Mother ring) two years ago and I wear it as much as my wedding rings. It’s my most favorite thing.
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-spinner-ring.html
My most favorite thing on there right now (they keep coming up with cuter and cuter ideas) is this Love Intertwined necklace. It’s a must have. I will definitely get this with my husband and my name on it. Such a great idea. I don’t go anywhere else for my jewelry, I don’t wear much jewelry, but when I do…it’s the vintage pearl π
http://thevintagepearl.com/chunky-spinner-ring.html
I love the God Gave Me You necklace. When my second son was born and they handed him to me for the first time the lyrics to the song “God Gave Me You” popped in my head. I don’t know what it is yet but there is something special about him and he was given to me for what I believe to be a special reason. The words “God gave me you” reminds me of that first moment with him.
http://thevintagepearl.com/God-gave-me-you.html
Love, love, love the vintage locket. Once I saw it on Facebook – I’ve been devising in my mind a way to get a family portrait worthy of this piece.
http://thevintagepearl.com/vintage-locket.html
Love the simple design of this necklace:
http://thevintagepearl.com/vintage-faith.-rts.html
Need to check out Curly Girl products at TVP shop in Oklahoma.
My fave Vintage Pearl piece is for sure the Vintage Name Charm necklace! This has been on my wishlist forever!
http://thevintagepearl.com/vintage-name-charm-necklace.html
SO many beautiful pieces of jewelry! π This one is probably my favorite-today π
http://thevintagepearl.com/medium-charm.html
I love the contrast of the hammered copper heart and the silver of the disc. It’s wonderful that it can be personalized with names of those held dear.
I’m getting married next year and I think these (http://thevintagepearl.com/initial-on-a-chain.html) initial necklaces would be absolutely adorable for all the bridesmaids!
I love both of the blogs! Thanks for teaming up!
I recently bought my best friend the messy nest necklace http://thevintagepearl.com/messy-nest-with-aqua-eggs.html to remind her that life is messy, take care of those around you! It has to be my favorite piece because people won’t know what it means, it’s our secret!
http://thevintagepearl.com/vintage-name-charm-necklace.html
I already have one necklace but this will be my next one!!
I really like MOST of TVP’s items. These earrings have been my favorite for a while… http://thevintagepearl.com/golden-teardrop-briolettes.html
I totally love this bracelet! It would be the perfect gift for my sister who just had a baby girl! Thank you!
http://thevintagepearl.com/circle-chain-bracelet.html
I was at a women’s group meeting and we were all sitting around a table and I had a clear vision of a heart in the middle of the table – all of us supporting each other through love. I think this necklace embodies that and would be perfect for my family’s names.
http://thevintagepearl.com/gold-eternity-heart-necklace.html
I love this ring! it is simple and unique….my girls and my love would fill it nicely. http://thevintagepearl.com/wrap-ring.html
I like the morse code bracelet. What a cool idea. http://thevintagepearl.com/morse-code-bracelet.html
There is something so special about a tiny picture locket and the heart just seals the deal for me. My sweet grand daughters will fill this locket.http://thevintagepearl.com/vintage-locket.html

I’ve always wanted a bracelet from there and I just LOVE this one!
The little heart rings are so dainty and adorable! They’d be perfect with anything!
http://thevintagepearl.com/open-heart-ring-size-6.html
Love the bracelet You + Me = heart
Hi! it was soooo hard to choose only one item but I choose http://thevintagepearl.com/layered-peaceful-dove-ornament.html the C,hristmas ornament, I would get it engraved with my daughter’s name. She is only 2.5yrs old but she is already so excited for Christmas, talks about it all the time and can’t wait for the tree to be up and for it to snow!
Is it cheating to say I love the extraordinary feather the most? I would gift it to my mom who is extraordinary.
I also love the unique heart necklace: http://thevintagepearl.com/Secret-Love-Message-Heart.html.
Cheers!
http://thevintagepearl.com/carefree..html
I love this necklace because it reminds me of Matthew 10:29-31. It is a great reminder of how much God loves me and cares about the little things in my life.
I’m having trouble connecting to a link :(. But I really LIVE the wrap ring from the vintage pearl! I would add all my kiddos names to it!!!!!
I love the secret keeper necklace! http://thevintagepearl.com/secret-keeper..html
http://thevintagepearl.com/secret-keeper..html I lo.ve the secret keeper
I came across TVP in May when I ordered a necklace for a dear friend who lost her baby girl at 20 weeks gestation. I have been a huge fan ever since! one of my favorite pieces of their jewelry is the love notes necklace…I keep hinting at what a great gift it would be from my girls (age 2 and 5) π
http://thevintagepearl.com/love-notes.html
http://thevintagepearl.com/your-love-is-my-anchor.html
I would choose the above necklace because my husband is a constant anchor in my life, through the happiest of times to the lowest of times. He’s been there through it all & he’d be my anchor π
The more I look the more I like! But I first heard about The Vintage Pearl when someone was wearing the Peas in a Pod necklace at our Mothers of Multiples meeting. Someday it WILL be mine. π Our oldest is 13 years old and the twins are 13 months old, so we have three peas in a pod. Did I mention September 13th is my birthday and I think Friday the 13th is a lucky day. Here is the necklace for others to enjoy http://thevintagepearl.com/Vintage-Peaes-in-a-Pod-necklace.html
This is the second time I tried to submit a comment. The first time was from my phone, and it did not post, so I hope it works this time and I am not too late. π
It is SO difficult to pick out my favorite piece from The Vintage Pearl. I do not currently own anything from them, but have sent gifts from their website to others. If I were to pick a piece, it would be Love Notes Necklace. I have had a rough 5 months of life, but have come out of it as a MUCH better wife, mother, friend and person. I don’t want to go into detail, but these notes would remind me of my accomplishments, and remind me that I am a great person and mother…which I doubt SO MUCH. It would be nice to be reminded of these things. Plus, my family, who is so important could add to it.
Thanks for doing this giveaway and introducing me to Curly Girl! I am excited to see what they have to offer, looks amazing so far.

THIS IS SUCH A LOVELY PIECE – SO DIFFERENT AND A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF JEWELLERY TO WEAR.
I adore nest jewelry, and just haven’t gotten around to getting a piece for myself. http://thevintagepearl.com/messy-nest-necklace.html
http://thevintagepearl.com/aqua-stone-with-names.html
Love this! We just had a fourth grandchild and it would be perfect for this Nana to wear proudly!
