JEWELRY LIFE HACK: No Knot Necklace & Jewelry Carrier For Tangle-Free Jewelry Storage

November 4, 2017 · 9 Comments

Love to wear long or multi-tiered necklaces? Have a handmade, delicate or heirloom piece you want to keep free of tangles and scratches while traveling? Whether you’re traveling for a destination wedding, business trip, or just as a space-saving home solution at home, the No Knot Necklace Jewelry Carrier keeps your jewelry safe and tangle free.

No Knot Necklace Jewelry Carrier

OVERVIEW

The No Knot Necklace Carrier is a space saving jewelry storage solution for travel and home. Its’ award-winning patented design won the 2015 InventHelp ® Gold Merit Award. No Knot holds various jewelry pieces in padded compartments including storage space for multiple necklaces ranging from 15 to 24 inches long.

Hold earrings, pins, necklaces and rings tangle-free in this multi-pocket organizer

THE LOOK: NO KNOT DESIGN AESTHETIC

Cloth folded carrier with an outside decorative pattern. The pattern seen here is “Tropical Vacation” a bright teal green with a white leaf tropical pattern and aqua blue border, but it also comes in red cherry blossoms on a tiffany aqua blue background, as well as a black and silver gray geometric pattern.

INTERIOR DESIGN LAYOUT

The No Knot Necklace Jewelry Carrier folds lengthwise to encase two rows of padded pockets.

 

 

  • One row has two small deep pockets for earrings, rings, pins, clips, and brooches.

POCKET CLOSE UP:  The side with three small pockets can hold pins, earrings, rings, clips, and some bracelets

 

Earrings in one of the three mini padded pockets that close securely with strong velcro

  • LONG POCKET: The row has one long pocket for holding larger and longer items such as necklaces, bracelets, clips, long dangling earrings and hair jewelry. This pocket is ideal for necklaces with a large focal point piece or choker necklaces

LONG NECKLACES

Use the long pocket to hold chains longer than 24 inches, such as this vintage Sterling necklace with a large but delicate focal piece at the end of the drop.

CHOKERS

Choker necklaces also fit perfectly into the secure padded long pocket

NECKLACE COMPARTMENT

  • The center has an innovative compartment the loops each necklace in the safe padded compartment to keep it from tangling up upon itself or other necklaces. By looping the necklace or necklaces in this compartment, it not only keeps it tangle-free but the soft padding keeps focal pieces or gemstones safe from scratches or damage and away from other necklaces.

HOW TO PUT A NECKLACE INTO THE NO KNOT CENTER COMPARTMENT

STEP ONE: Unclasp the necklace. Drop one end of the chain into one of the square compartment openings while holding the other end

 

STEP TWO: Feed the necklace down the length of the compartment until it comes out the other end.

 

STEP THREE: Grab both ends and re-clasp the necklace

 

Done! The No Knot can hold multiple necklaces at once and still keep them tangle free.

IDEAL FOR HANDMADE OR BULKY HAND STRUNG BEADED JEWELRY

Beaded and handmade jewelry can be delicate and not necessarily fit into a drawstring bag due to the size of the beads. But handmade necklaces, such as this piece, fit perfectly onto the No Knot without damaging the threadwork or beading.

Keep beaded gemstones with delicate threadwork safe and tangle free

 

SIZING

While ideal for carrying jewelry while traveling, No Knot fits nicely into a handbag, suitcase, gym bag, overnight bag, or as storage in a dresser or vanity drawer. The discrete size and shape of the No Knot make it easy to have your jewelry with you at all times if you prefer to keep valuables with you instead of leaving them in a hotel room or in the hotel vault.

The No Knot zips closed into a conveniently sized case that fits into a bag, gym bag, suitcase or home storage

 

Thin profile with sturdy zipper

Another use I found for the No Knot Necklace Carrier Jewelry Carrier is keeping jewelry in a safety deposit box. Most of the smaller safety deposit boxes are too narrow or short to hold the original gift box for a necklace, which makes it tempting to put valuable necklaces in a less safe container than the original gift box for storage. This can subject the necklace to scratches and damage. The No Knot not only fits in a small safety deposit box, but it keeps family jewelry securely packed without scratches or tangling even in a smaller safety deposit box.

CONSTRUCTION

It is well made of strong weave, padded material and sturdy construction with impeccable stitching.

Sturdy construction, strong, stick-free zipper, and padded pockets with velcro attachments to not scratch jewelry

MY EXPERIENCE

It is very easy to loop the necklaces into place, and it works very well. When I first heard about No Knot, two necklaces immediately came to mind. One is my grandmother’s diamond necklace that typically only comes out for special occasions and the other is a modern necklace that has lots of extended hanging adornments that always get entangled onto itself. Both necklaces remained tangle-free in the No Knot.

Trying other necklaces, it easily holds necklaces of various lengths from chokers to longer chains without tangling and my focal pieces stayed protected and scratch-free.

My necklaces stay tangle free and it is so easy to pack the No Knot Necklace Carrier Jewelry Carrier

Rings, pins, cufflinks, and earrings and other jewelry fit easily into the small pockets, and the long pocket held chain bracelets and bangles.

MAKE A GREAT GIFT

Do you know a bride with an upcoming destination wedding? A frequent traveler? A super-organized jewelry lover? Someone who makes and wears their own beaded jewelry? No Knot makes a great gift.

Fits into a handbag, carry-on or suitcase

CONCLUSION

The No Knot Necklace Carrier Jewelry Carrier is an attractive, convenient, innovative way to keep your necklaces tangle-free, scratch free and safe while traveling or stored at home. If you need to buy a gift for someone you don’t know someone well but have seen them wear jewelry, you can’t go wrong with the No Knot.

Layered Necklace Looks: Kisspat Layered Necklaces for Versatile On the Go Accessorizing

October 20, 2017 · 8 Comments

Rushing out the door and need to have a put-together look fast? Multi-layer necklaces bring visual interest to a plain outfit or to tie together several colors into a cohesive look without lots of fuss or work to plan your accessories. We like the color and texture combinations found in these Kisspat necklaces that add a colorful dimension to complete even the most basic outfit of the day. Here are a few examples of the versatile Kisspat Layered Necklaces and how easy they are to coordinate with a variety of items in my wardrobe.’

I like how the Kisspat Rose Quartz ties together the pink hues and the metallic elements tie-in the autumnal shades of orange, russet, plum and brown. The full drop length works great with a simple blazer or jacket to dress up a basic tee

KISSPAT LAYERED NECKLACE BAR CHARM CHAIN WITH ROSE QUARTZ PENDANT

OVERVIEW:

A delicate pink shade that works with spring, summer, and early autumn colors, this Rose Quartz Pendant has a middle necklace focal piece Rose Quartz medallion and a Rose Quartz smaller orb piece as a graduated link to a lariat style metal drop.

Rose Quartz Focal Piece is the center necklace piece

Focal piece and matching orb before the final metallic drop bar

Rose Quartz looks great with a variety of colors including silver gray, ice blue, plum, purples, pinks, blues, pastels, and brights.

Here the Kisspat Rose Quartz Bar Multi-layer necklace it is paired with fall colors of a basic tee and blazer for a warm October day, but the universally flattering shade of Rose Quartz as seen in this necklace works with year-round color palettes whether spring pastels, summer brights, icy winter tones or autumnal shades.

The focal pieces catch and play with the light and the drop adds some movement

The drop can also be tucked in if you prefer a more streamlined look

The necklace has a 2-inch extender so the necklace can be adjusted to not visually obstruct the line of collars or buttons

The Rose Quartz also works with bright colors such as this blue:

KISSPAT 3 MULTI-LAYERED CHOKER NECKLACE TURQUOISE DISC CHAIN WITH LEAF PENDANT (Faux Turquoise Point Leaf)

OVERVIEW:

There are three layers to the necklace, each necklace chain is 24″ with a 2″ adjustable length to position the necklace where it is more flattering to your outfit or figure. I like adjustable lengths so that necklace detailing doesn’t clash against any clothing button placement or conflict with a neckline.

NECKLACE LAYERS
  • The shortest layer is choker length with a single turquoise cut-crystal shaped drop piece with a metallic base. There is a variegated pattern within the turquoise.

  • The middle layer has a single metallic circle to blend the elements together cohesively.
  • The longest strand with the feather element elongates and provides a slimming line, and adds some metallic detailing that is stylish and versatile.

    The focal piece is a curved metallic leaf

The turquoise with metal elements looks good with a variety of colors including blues and neutrals and compliments a natural look while adding a subtle textured metallic gleam.

Here are some detailed shots and looks with the KISSPAT 3 Multi-Layered Choker Necklace Turquoise Disc Chain with Leaf Pendant:

 

SEE IT WITH AN OUTFIT: Here are some sample outfits ideas. I like pairing the bolder elements of this necklace with silk, leather and suede fabrics.

THE NECKLACE LAYERS

This piece combines the simplicity of three focal pieces at successive lengths to create a simple but eye-catching look. With three larger focal pieces, the eye is drawn to the shortest and longest chains while the middle chain is more simple.

  • The shortest chain has brightly colored, textured larger variegated turquoise long bead formed into a natural crystal shape design, held at the base with a metal fastener.

Stylishly Carrying Beauty: OLPR Leather Goods Co. Leather Dopp Kit

October 19, 2017 · 8 Comments

For all of the gift with purchase cosmetic cases that we have accumulated over the years, none of them really fit the bill when it comes to carrying skincare and makeup essentials for overnight trips or emergency mid-day makeup overhauls. A makeup bag needs to be compact enough to fit into an overnight bag, satchel, gym bag or to stash away in my desk drawer, yet still roomy enough to hold the essentials including a small brush or comb, an eyelash curler, a few vital palettes, dry shampoo, some hand lotion as well as the makeup essentials. And it needs to be sturdy. And durable. And preferably attractive without drawing excess attention if I need to haul to the ladies room for an emergency quick-fix. These needs are all met in the OLPR Leather Goods Co. Leather Dopp Kit. Dopp Kits are not just for the boys, they are darn useful for an on-the-go lady to hold all your go-to glam stuff in one convenient case.

Want a sturdy makeup bag that doesn’t wear out and the zipper doesn’t break? The OLPR Leather Goods Co. Brown Leather Dopp Kit easily holds lipstick, an eyelash curler, full-size lotions, hand cream, powders, and hair care products safely and lasts for years.

ABOUT THE OLPR Leather Goods Co. Brown Leather Dopp Kit

A standout feature of the OLPR Leather Goods Co. Brown Leather Dopp Kit is the leather itself, a soft, supple leather with a rich grain that will come to patina to a nice finish without signs of damaged wear.

Made of Full-Grain Horween Chromexcel Leather that wears beautifully over time and is durable for years to come

The leather has a suede inner feel to the inside of the case.

Beautiful look and feel to the inside finish

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Each OLPR Leather Goods Co. Brown Leather Dopp Kit is made to order, and it shows. The leather is bound well so that it does not pull or wear unevenly, the stitching is impeccable.

Quality stitching on each piece

 

Side view detailing

 

EASE OF USE

The pull tab is generous and easy to maneuver.

Sturdy zipper and pull

The metal elements and zipper are of sturdy construction and an attractive oversize look that adds to the aesthetic.

Stitching and zipper closeup

SIZING

The size is generous, at 7.5″ x 3.5″ x 3.5″, and has some give to fold in the traditional rectangle shape or shape taller to hold larger items.

 

HOW MUCH CAN IT HOLD?

For the purposes of scale, when folded up, the case can hold a 2.8 ounce cream pump bottle of lotion or cream(the white bottle to the left), a hairspray styling product mini (the orange pump to the right), an full size makeup up palette such as Urban Decay Naked Palette square (seen peeking out of the bottom), several smaller bottles and tubes of makeup, an eyelash curler, lipstick, gloss, and hand cream (Bliss blue tube) with room to spare. When used in the traditional square shape, it can hold several more compact shorter items. I like the ability to carry my pricer eyelash curlers such as Shiseido, Shu Uemura, Surratt or Kevyn Aucoin curlers (seen between the white bottle and blue tube) without crushing their delicate shape as can happen in some makeup bags.

Stuff the bag with full-size skin care products and odd-shaped items like eyelash curlers, and it still closes without crushing them contents

This bag also fits the traditional Dopp bag uses of overnight travel products such as mini travel size shampoo and conditioner, full-size soap, deodorant, toothpaste, razors, and brushes.

PERSONALIZATION: The OLPR Leather Goods Co. Leather Dopp Kit can be personalized for free with up to five letters, ideal for a monogram, initials or a name or nickname. How about giving it as a groomsmen or bridesmaids gift for a destination wedding, or monogram it with “BRIDE”, “GROOM”, “DAD”, “MOM” or GRAD?

Personalize your bag with up to five letters, a monogram, single letter, title or short name.

CONCLUSION

Unlike the endless GWP makeup bags we accumulate over time, this bag is an investment that will last for years and wear beautifully. A highly attractive leather Dopp kit of excellent construction and materials that is worthy of carrying the makeup collection of a beauty connoisseur and keeping it safe and secure, ideal for travel, the gym, for an overnight bag, or to keep all the essentials like dry shampoo, makeup, spare toothbrush and paste and other essentials in your desk. If you carry expensive skin care products with you when you travel, this Dopp bag can keep them safe and secure. Makes for a lovely gift!

HOW TO SELECT CLASSIC PEARLS FOR MODERN SENSIBILITIES: Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings

October 6, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Pearls are one of the most versatile of the gemstone jewels, they can dress up a little black dress or be worn to a wedding, and depending on the setting and other stones, metals or jewels that a pearl is paired with, they can even be incorporated into semi-casual outfits or office appropriate workwear. Despite being a classic, go-to wardrobe piece, Pearls can, however, look a bit old-fashioned, which is why we love The Pearl Source’s unique pearls designs, which also come at a more attractive price point than many pearl pieces seen in stores. A good example of this is The Pearl Source’s Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings, formal and classic enough for a traditional style bride, yet stylish enough for those with demure yet modern taste in jewelry.

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings

JAPANESE AKOYA PEARL STARDUST EARRING DESIGN

Each earring is comprised of one classic round Akoya Pearl Classic pearl on a gold base, 925 Sterling Silver coated drop chain. The earring drop is about one inch in length. The Pearls are AA+ Quality, which is higher than that typically found in department stores and mall jewelry stores.

Akoya Pearl with two smaller stardust orbits. Gold with .925 Sterling Silver overlay makes them sturdy.

Above the pearl, there are two suspended small silver drop ball orb embellishments with a stardust pattern to add a bit of very subtle shimmer, not full-on bling, but they are eye-catching.

Stardust orbs of .925 Sterling Silver over gold are securely held in place

JAPANESE AKOYA PEARL STARDUST EARRING CONSTRUCTION

The thick nacre content of these pearls makes them durable despite being on a drop length dangle, they will not scratch even though they are exposed to other dangling embellishments. The chain is gold with a generous .925 Sterling Silver coating. The post is sturdy and does not readily bend.

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings are well-made with .925 Sterling Silver overlaying a gold base

ABOUT JAPANESE AKOYA PEARL STARDUST EARRINGS: EVALUATING PRIMARY PEARL CHARACTERISTICS

When selecting a pearl jewelry piece, there are three notable characteristics to assess. These are the Pearl Luster, the Pearl Nacre, and the Pearl Overtone.

PEARL LUSTER

Pearls produce an intense shine, also known as luster. The luster of a pearl can be determined when a light is reflected off the many layers of nacre or tiny organic crystals that comprise the surface of the pearl.

The luster rating of this Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earring Set is considered “very high”.

These pearls have a high luster that is eye-catching. Note the sturdy .925 Sterling Silver posts and reinforcements

PEARL NACRE

Nacre is what gives pearls shine and resilience. Nacre is very similar in composition and appearance to the composite material inside of a mollusk shell. The iridescent nacre can be seen for example inside a nautilus shell and to some extent abalone.

Nacre is comprised of tiny organic crystals, which serve as reflectors of light. The larger a pearl is, the more reflectors it possesses. When shopping for a pearl, the larger the pearl, the more nacre it has and the greater the luster. The degree of nacre produced luster varies greatly between pearls.

Nacre builds the iridescent layers inside a shell and on Pearls to create luster as seen here

This Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earring Set has a very thick nacre, creating a high luster.

These Pearls are of thick nacre which yields a high luster

PEARL OVERTONE

A pearl’s color is called the body color. Pearls vary from white, cream, yellow, silver, pink or black. Pearls also have a glow of a secondary color, which can be seen when light reflects off of the pearls. This hint of color is known as its’ overtone.

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings are a white body color that is available in four overtones. The set shown here is a White Overtone Pearl, but they also come in Rose and Ivory overtones as well as Black. These choices are ideal for matching the undertone of a bridal gown so the shade of white is not a mismatch.

The white body and white overtone of these pearls glow suit all-white bridal gowns and absolutely glow against bright colors and dark textures, making them highly versatile

WHAT IS AN AKOYA PEARL?

Akoya pearls are cultured in Akoya oysters primarily in Japan and China. They are renowned for their incredible luster and are generally considered the “classic” pearl. Akoya pearls range in size from about 6.0 – 8.5mm.

Akoya Pearls, such as these The Pearl Source  Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings are round and symmetrical and are renowned for their high luster

 

GIFT BOXED

The earrings come in a distinctive blue box with a grosgrain pattern crisp overlay, and an inner hinged style box with traditional satin and velvet lining. It is highly suitable for gift giving and storage.

Outer Gift Box with inner hinged box for gift giving and storage

 

 

ABOUT THE PEARL SOURCE

The Pearl Source only uses the highest quality grade of pearls from the Pinctada fucata oyster in Japan, and only uses pearls without defects. I found these pearls to be of better quality than that I have purchased at department stores. Because their pearls are imported direct, the cost is much less than other online and brick and mortar jewelry stores. The Pearl Source Pearls for gifts and bridal jewelry or just for your personal collection is higher quality and at a better price. They also offer free shipping on all orders.

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings make for an excellent gift for brides, proms, special occasions

CONCLUSION

The Pearl Source Japanese Akoya Pearl Stardust Earrings are an outstanding value for a bride, as a gift for a teen attending a formal event, or for anyone who would like a demure, ladylike piece that gives an updated look to a classic design. The pair of stardust dangle orbs brings some visual interest to the single statement pearl. The pearls themselves are of high luster, thick nacre and come in four overtones to best match one’s skin coloring or attire. The direct sourcing of the pearls makes The Pearl Source jewelry an excellent value on a highly versatile set of earrings that will last for years to come.

BEAUTY & MAKEUP ORGANIZATION: All The Things Professional Makeup Case

September 11, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Has this ever happened to you? You have the perfect lipstick, liner or shadow somewhere, but your makeup drawer is so disorganized and overstuffed that you can’t locate that perfect shade? Need to carry your makeup when you travel, or for doing makeup for a big event like a wedding? Those makeup bags that come with GWP offers are often pretty but don’t hold makeup well when traveling. We recently tried the All The Things Professional Makeup Case and found it holds our makeup securely and has a spot for everything so we can locate just what we need when we need it.

The All The Things Professional Makeup Case holds makeup, creams, hair care and more neatly and securely

FEATURE OVERVIEW

  • Four Large Adjustable Trays to custom fit palettes and brushes
  • Deep divided bottom compartments with removable and adjustable dividers to fit even a hair dryer or curling iron
  • Secure locking hinge top closures
  • Easy to clean dust-proof acrylic sheeting
  • High-grade aviation aluminum is lightweight but sturdy
  • Custom over the shoulder harness strap with padding

ABOUT THE DESIGN

The 14-inch long design is big enough to hold multiple palettes, brushes, hair products and powders but it is not cumbersome to carry either by the handle or the shoulder strap. I have a Pro case from a known cosmetic brand that is larger but without the adjustable trays, it actually holds less than this All The Things Professional Makeup case does.

Two-tiered drawers hold all my makeup brushes and smaller items like eyelash curlers, eye creams and mascaras safely

 

Keep your makeup collection safe under lock and optional key!

HOW MUCH IT HOLDS

The fold out two-tier top compartments come with multiple and adjustable dividers, so you can create any kind of space you want by sliding a divider into any side crevices.

The Makeup case seen with the top tiers showing

 

The dividers slide into any side slot to create any size compartment you need to accomodate brushes, lipsticks, palettes and more

 

The dividers can even divide a tier horizontally to separate out brushes if desired

Here I placed the dividers to provide enough room to hold my Urban Decay Naked palettes (about two Naked palettes fit per tier) with a smaller compartment large enough to hold lipsticks or two Nars blush sized single palettes.

Fit multiple long thin palettes like the Urban Decay Naked Palettes with room to spare for lipsticks or blush compacts

The tiers are also large enough to hold my brushes including foundation and blusher.

Hold smaller important items like this Jeffrey James Eye Cream safely in a smaller compartment where it won’t get lost

 

Tiers are long enough to hold UD palettes and an Hourglass powder compact, or brushes and lipsticks. Easily see all your lipstick and gloss choices at once

The bottom is a deep multi-section compartment where any of the larger padded dividers can be removed and repositioned to create a variety of spaces to hold hair dryers, hair styling products, curlers, curling irons, large brushes, bottles and larger containers that hold powder or product. If you prefer an entirely open bottom compartment, that is possible as well.

 

Versatile compartment dividers can be placed anywhere to make large or small compartments to fit even a hairdryer or curler

 

Multiple compartments can be divided however works best to hold items like Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer (front) and Big Sexy Hair Powder Play and Root Lift Mousse, Remede highlighter< Jeffrey James Hyaluronic Serum and OPI Nail Polishes (back)

I put my unusual shaped palettes in the bottom section, it holds the IT Cosmetics Contour Palette, the Ulta NYX Birthday Eyeshadow Palette, The Urban Decay Naked Matte Palette, the UD Naked Basics amongst others.

Hold palettes of all shapes and sizes including the Urban Decay Naked Matte, UD Basics, IT Cosmetics Contour palettes, Ulta Palettes and more. Also hold very large brushes, loose powders, creams, serums and sprays

In the other compartments, I keep hair products, a larger limited edition ByTerry Kabuki brush that I don’t want to be crushed by other brushes, and finally my larger creams and lotions including my trusty Creme de la Mer Concentrate and Lordsbury Retinol C+ Cream Moisturizer. I like that the compartment dividers have some extra padding to keep expensive and fragile products safely cushioned.

It holds several palettes at once and skin care products, bottles, nail polish, etc.

 

Tall enough to hold the full-size Mac Prep & Prime bottle as well as large skin care products like the almost 3 ounce size Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer

MY EXPERIENCE: PUTTING THE ALL THE THINGS PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP CASE TO THE TEST

The case is sturdy, it’s easier to transport than the old vanity style suitcases yet it holds my makeup more securely than just packing it in a suitcase. I’ve invested so much in my makeup, tools, and brushes, including limited edition palettes and brushes, as well as fragile bottles such as the Mac Prime and Prime, or perfumes that I prefer to keep my makeup with me as a carry-on or safely in the car with me while traveling, and it stows away nicely underfoot. If you prefer to carry your hair supplies in here, it is a safe way to transport high-end hair dryers and curling wands such as the T3, CHI or Dyson.

The handle is sturdy and secure even when I overpack the case with heavier items.

Wow! All tiers expanded and the bottom compartment holds plenty of stuff! Brushes, lipsticks, eye creams, palettes, concealers, eyelash curlers, full-size retinol creams, MAC Prep & Prime, creams and lotions, loose mineral powders, compacts, liners, hair care products and more each in their own space so they don’t get crushed and they stay organized

The key works without sticking and keeps the case secure. The padded shoulder strap is a nice addition as it reduces the strain on my shoulder and does not wrinkle clothes. The handle is sturdy. It is easy to clean any powder or spills off the surface of the case due to the special coating on the dividers and inner lining.

 

Sturdy, easy to carry handle and close-up view of the padded shoulder strap

CONCLUSION

The All The Things Professional Makeup Case is a highly versatile and sturdy case for organizing makeup, brushes, hair products, powders, palettes and makeup within four pull our tiered compartments and the deep lower compartment that can be divided in any number of ways. Ideal for keeping makeup organized and secure while traveling or at home, the All The Things Professional Makeup Case is an excellent value that will securely and neatly hold your makeup collection for years to come, so you can find just the right shade when you need it!
