Giveaway #1: Rachel Claire Jewelry Collection

This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience. Read my full disclosure policy here.

Happy Day!  This giveaway is open to EVERYONE, not just residents of US and Canada!

I decided to start Giveaway Day off with a bang.  Need something for a special woman on your list (including yourself), but aren’t sure what?  You are bound to find the perfect thing at Rachel Claire!

First of all, I love the philosophy behind her gemstone necklaces and bracelets.  When so much in this world is plastic and disposable, Rachel took the opposite approach– crafting jewelry with no artificial parts, only pieces that can be mined from the earth.

“The Rachel Claire Collection was created from the idea that everything we need in life is provided for us on earth. We have seeds for food, trees for shelter, fire for warmth, and herbs for healing.
The Rachel Claire Collection combines the usefulness and energies of natural gemstones to spread peace, strength and courage, in the hopes of promoting self sufficiency and love.”
On her website, you can choose the metal (silver, gold-fill, or 14K gold) and the gemstone.  Meanings of the gemstones are explained so you can pick the perfect one for yourself or someone else.  For example, you can tell people:
I am beautiful.
I am original.
I am not afraid of global warming.
I am not afraid of failure.
There are so many people I can think of for each sentiment.  There are so many situations I can remember where I wish I had a token such as a gemstone to remind me of such things.  Whether someone is going through a difficult journey or starting off on a bright new future, a gemstone necklace or bracelet would certainly be the perfect gift.  
Prices start at $27 for a necklace and $18 for a bracelet with $3 flat rate US shipping.  SWEET!
I found my necklace.  It speaks to who I think I am and who I hope to be:
Which one is yours?  Tell me and you could WIN it!
Prize:  a Rachel Claire necklace priced at $29 or under

  60. I would like the I’m not afraid of letting go, black onyx because it means relieving stress and grief, Strengthens morality, recognition of personal strength, decision making and self control. Those speak to my life this year. I’ve lost a lot, gone through a lot of grief, but it has made me aware of how strong I am, urged me to be more spiritual and moral and on it goes!
