I have a fondness for unique jewelry. So, when I found Alana Lilie Designs on the internet, I was thrilled. The custom photo sterling jewelry immediately caught my eye, and as I explored the site further, I found several pieces that I added to my wish list.

The artist behind Alana Lilie Designs is Alana Lilie of Austin, Texas. Read on to learn more about her:
After the birth of my daughter Anna, I had to return to teaching. I wanted to carry a piece of Anna with me, so I made a photo charm so that I could wear her picture around my neck. Every time I wore the charm, I would get so many compliments and lots of "where did you get this?" reactions. When I told the person I had made it, they would request that I make one for them too! With that...Voila!... Alana Lilie Designs was born!

I almost always have some creative project going on, whether it be sewing, knitting, photography, you name it, I have probably done it! This one just happens to be so much fun! The wonderful part is that there are always new necklace and bracelet designs to create and the possibilities are limited by my imagination alone!

My goal with Alana Lilie Designs is to do something I enjoy and then pass it along to other mothers to enjoy, as well as other family members. My favorite description of what I do is "I create jewelry designed to preserve the special moments in life that will linger in our hearts forever..."

I also enjoy shopping and want to offer other unique gifts here at Alana Lilie Designs to make it a "one stop shop" for all of your gift needs. I strive to provide quality products at fair, reasonable prices.

I contacted Alana and inquired about a blog giveaway, and she readily accepted. Additionally, she sent me a stunning Square Photo Pendant to review. The quality of Alana Lilie Designs' work is exceptional. The pendant of my sons far exceeded my expectations. I also loved the little touch of the Swarovski crystal beads and Mother of Pearl attached to the bottom. Now that I have seen the care and detail that Alana puts into her designs, I am wanting to order one of the Sterling Photo Rings as well.

Take a look at the beautiful sterling custom photo jewelry offered by Alana Lilie Designs. I am certain you will find something to add to your wish list.
