Corner Store Jewelry, the review

I'll be the first to admit that I don't wear much jewelry. I had my ears pierced as a tween—against my mother's wishes (her friend talked her into letting me get it done)—and let the holes close up as an adult. So when a friend or family member gives me the gift of jewelry I graciously accept the piece and make an effort to wear it whenever we go out with the gift giver. Otherwise, the jewelry sits in a drawer, collecting dust.

Still, when I received these gorgeous (pictures do not do them justice) rock earrings as a gift, I was very excited.

You see, they brought back memories of the times my mother would drag me to "Rock and Mineral" shows with my grandmother. We'd spend all day walking up and down aisles as my Grams searched out the perfect rocks for her collection. And on the rare occasion she couldn't find what she was looking for indoors, we'd head out to the nearest rocky beach and do a search on the shore.

When the package arrived it came in the cutest brown box. I just love packaging that reminds me of the old west!

Once opened, I could see that it was carefully wrapped in bubble wrap.

I carefully removed the bubble wrap to discover two pairs of handcrafted stone earrings with clips for us "no holers".

Because each stone comes direct from nature, the design on each earring is slightly different, as is the design on each side of the stone.

They clip easily onto one's ears and hang beautifully, don't you think?

If you, too, would like to own one of Eleanor Burian Mohr's original jewelry pieces, I encourage you to head on over to her blog at http://cornerstoregoddessjewelry.blogspot.com where you can read beautiful poetry that is then illustrated with Eleanor's creations, or visit the Corner Store Shop.

Disclosure: The reviewer received this product as a gift.
