Good handmade jewelry is really hard to find. GREAT handmade jewelry is even harder to find. I know, because I’ve dabbled in jewelry-making myself, and not only is designing your own jewelry with the intention to sell an incredibly painstaking process, but it’s even harder to come up with enough designs that will appeal to so many people – not to mention, to come up with enough ideas that can be worn for a variety of occasions.
It’s a good thing that South Florida artist Amanda J. Levison decided to begin designing jewelry and created her online jewelry store, AJ Designs Jewelry, because she’s truly one of the very best!
Amanda’s designs are intricate, beautiful, and absolutely unique. It’s so obvious how much thought, heart, and soul she puts into all of her work. Each piece is an original design and is hand-created by Amanda using only the highest quality Swarovski crystals and real gemstones. In addition to jewelry, Amanda also has a very successful line of decorated flip flops, cute doggie accessories, and beautiful keychains and charms. She’s also expanded into a gorgeous line of bridal jewelry and formalwear.
One of Amanda’s most versatile pieces of jewelry is her Swarovski Crystal Heart Charm. One of my favorite colors is red, so I have the charm in red, and I just adore the way it catches the sun.
I’ve received the best compliments about the charm since I can wear it with jeans and a cute top and it makes a great accessory, or I can make myself feel pretty and more dressed up when I’m wearing a generic “wedding photographer outfit” (black pants, black top, black shoes) by adding the gorgeous charm around my neck!
WHAT YOU WILL WIN: A beautiful Swarovski crystal heart charm in your color choice of Siam (the red color pictured above), Black diamond, Jonquil, Lime, Vintage Rose, Light Amethyst, & Light Rose Satin. You can see the the Swarovski color chart by clicking here to view examples of the colors that are available. Please note this giveaway is only for the heart charm, a chain is not included.

I especially like the jet black cuff because black is my favorite color and a cuff dresses up any outfit, be it casual or formal!
I, of course, love the swaroski heart. There used to be this green lariat that was beautiful. Not sure if Amanda still makes it. Everything looks so much more expensive in real life. It’s such great quality!
