Beautiful Artisan Crafted Jewelry from Uno Alla Volta

Beautiful Artisan Crafted Jewelry from Uno Alla Volta

Sterling Silver Ring by Uno Alla VoltaLike most women, I love jewelry and I’ve collected a lot of it over the years. In my collection I’ve got estate pieces, one-of-a-kind artisan pieces, mass retail market pieces and everything in between. With that said, I’m extremely fond of artisan-crafted pieces that are unique in their style.

One of my favorite go-to places to shop for jewelry happens to be Uno Alla Volta. What makes this company so special is that they curate artisans from around the globe to create handcrafted products that are ONLY available through them. Many of the artisans are family-owned workshops that have perfected their craft over the generations. The brand is passionate about reaching consumers on a very personal level with products made from the hearts and hands of these very artisans.

For the review I received the Lorena’s Pink Murano Glass Ring to feature for you. When I was over on the site browsing the collection, I saw the ring in blue and silver too. This ring features a sterling silver band with pink lampworked glass beads infused with silver foil that shimmers with every move. You should see it sparkle out in the sunlight, pretty!

The ring came beautifully packaged in a nice gift box with a ribbon bow. In addition, a Certificate of Authenticity came along with it which gives you more information about the artisan. I love when companies include this type of information with your purchases, plus it makes gift-giving extra-special.

One of the things I love about this ring is that it’s done in a bypass style, which means it’s adjustable! You can gently tug on it to make it a little bigger or a little smaller. Since it’s adjustable, you can wear it on different fingers depending on your mood. I like to wear it on my ring finger on some days and then on my middle finger on others. (thanks mom for modeling the ring for me!)

You get a Certificate of Authenticity with your purchase which gives you more information about the product and the artist who made it. For example (info from my C.O.A.)

Lorena’s great-grandmother began working with glass at the age of nine. Since then, the torch has literally been passed from mother to daughter through three generations. Today, Lorena, her mother, and sister continue the tradition, crafting exquisite glass lampwork beads, from the famed Perle di Venezia to millefiori and minute seed beads used in chic new styles.

Head on over to Uno Alla Volta and take a look around. I know you’re going to love what you see! You can connect with the company on Facebook too.

Wipenote Whiteboard Notebooks Are Fun to Use, and Save Paper, Too!

Wipenote Whiteboard Notebooks Are Fun to Use, and Save Paper, Too!

Wipenote Whiteboard NotebooksThere’s a reason whiteboards are found on office and conference room walls everywhere—whiteboard is great for taking notes or leaving messages and it’s easily wiped clean to be used over and over again. Now Beyouneeq has introduced a product that brings all the benefits of a whiteboard to a handy notebook!

Wipenote whiteboard notebooks are available in three sizes, each with 50 pages (25 sheets) and a special correctable pen attached by an elastic loop. The notebooks have a sturdy ring binding, and the sheets are removable so you can rearrange them. If you want to keep a permanent record of a page, you can copy or scan a removed sheet then wipe it clean and replace it in the notebook.

Writing or drawing in a Wipenote notebook is simple with the included correctable black pen. The ink dries in seconds, after which it’s smudge-proof. Small changes are easy to make on the fly with the pen’s built-in eraser tip, and all it takes is a damp cloth to erase an entire page. However, after two or three months, writing may be more difficult to remove with just water, but dry-erase cleaning fluid should do the job.

One thing that sets Wipenote whiteboard notebooks apart from other whiteboard notebooks on the market is their unique cover art. Wholesalers can also have custom covers made with logos, pictures, or artwork of their choosing.

Wipenote Whiteboard Notebooks

For my review, I received two beautiful Wipenote notebooks in the medium and small sizes, as well as a pretty notecard and an extra Expo Wet Erase pen. I like to keep pen and paper near my favorite chair in the living room so I can jot down notes or things I want to remember or to make to-do lists. Now I use the medium-sized Wipenote notebook instead. Because the pen is attached, I never have to fumble for a pen, and I’m not wasting paper, either. My new Wipenote notebook looks so pretty with its fanciful “If You Want Love, Give Love” cover that I just leave it on the end table where it’s always handy.

The small Wipenote notebook is perfect for tucking in my bag when I’m on the go. The sturdy whiteboard sheets are thin enough that the notebook doesn’t take up much room, and the pen is always right there with the notebook. It’s great for shopping lists (no more losing slips of paper!), and it’s easy to cross off items as I put them in my cart, then erase the whole page when I get home. This notebook was ideal for writing down discussion points for my dog’s veterinarian visit and for taking notes while we were there. Before erasing that information, I took a picture of the page so I’ll have a record of what the veterinarian told me. Love it!

My one complaint would be that the elastic loop is so tight that it’s hard to get the pen back in it. But it’s well worth the momentary difficulty to keep the pen securely attached to the notebook.

Visit Wipenote’s webpage to see their full range of products. The large, medium, and small notebooks retail for $27.99, $18.99, and $12.99, respectively. You can also purchase extra sheets, either plain, lined, or with a grid, as well as whiteboard cleaner and erasable pens in assorted colors. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly non-candy alternative for filling an Easter basket, Wipenote notebooks might be a fun choice.
