Every once in a while, Lucy asks if she can try it on.
So when she turned 5 back in February, I thought it would be fun to get her her own necklace. I hopped on the Vintage Pearl site, and the ball was rolling.
But I had no idea what to write on the necklace and what style to get.
So I asked Lucy.
She said, "a heart with 'I love my family' ".Such a sweetheart.
I interpreted her words a bit and decided to write "lucy, owen, dad, mom"....all the members of our family.
It turned out really cute. And Lucy really loves it.
She felt so grown-up trying it on and couldn't believe she could wear it all day.
The chain is the 14-inch size for girls. Part of me wishes it was a few inches shorter (photo below) but I've realized that she'll be able to wear it for years to come!
If you've never been there, The Vintage Pearl is a lovely shop. The silver is gorgeous and the designs are simple. But what I really love most is that they have something for everyone (even the boys)! These photos below only skim the surface of what's available. There are so many styles to choose from.
And if jewelry's not your thing, check out their unique keepsakes:

I love the vintage pearl. I bought my husband a necklace with the kids and my name and he wears it ALL of the time... never takes it off. my heart just went pitter patter thinking about it. I love that man. Anyways... I have one also and wear it often. AND my oldest has one put up for her:) I will say though now that we have baby sister she needs one too.
Just a funny note... these necklaces jingle a lot if you have more than one "charm" on them. So I kid my husband all of the time that he is jingling. He doesn't even notice it anymore. When he tries to sneak up on us we always know because we hear him jingling:)

What a wonderful keepsake for her. I love giving my daughter (who is 25) jewelry keepsakes. I remember on her 5th birthday she got her ears pierced and we bought her first pair of sapphire earrings which she still has and wears, we got her a charm bracelet on her 13th (it is now full of wonderful memories) and a sapphire ring on her 16th. Her wedding is coming up and something from Vintage Pearl would be awesome to give her on her wedding day.
