Before Gracie was born, I researched everything
we would need from birth to her first birthday.
Upon my research and planning, one of the things I wanted to buy was a
teething necklace. I had heard great
things about them; not only are they are good for teething, but also for baby
to grab onto during feedings or when being worn. Through Instagram, I stumbled upon a shop
called The Vintage Honey Shop (henceforth TVHS) that sold handmade, natural,
and adorable teething + nursing necklaces.
I purchased two of them, and liked them so much, I purchased another one
at a later date. I loved them!
Recently I was asked
to review one of their necklaces, and they kindly gave me a new one to
review. My review below is based on ALL
of my experiences with TVHS (including my own purchases and the one they
provided), but the pictures are of the necklace they kindly gave me to
review. Even though they gave me this
necklace, these opinions are my own and in no way were influenced by them.
TVHS necklaces are
handmade and wrapped in beautiful fabric to match any style! Here is a blurb from their “About” section on
their website because it takes the words right out of my mouth:
Every necklace is handmade with massive amounts of love, hard work & dedication in creating the very best teething + nursing necklace on the market. The Vintage Honey Shop is all about making moms feel special, from the design of the necklace to the stunning packaging. Its more than a just a necklace, its about having something that makes new mamas feel pretty & knowing that they are wearing a handcrafted piece of jewelry that is safe, functional and stylish!
This statement couldn’t be more
true. You can tell each necklace is made
with love and care from the packaging to the product. When you open up your package, you see a
delicate and shabby chic wrapping of tissue paper with a lace doily and tied
with striped baker’s twine and a button with their signature bumble bee; it’s
absolutely delightful.
The wrapping was so pretty I didn’t want to open it! Once I did, the beautiful necklace was
revealed. It was the traditional
teething necklace (no wooden teething ring attached) in a gorgeous green floral
fabric. The color is so vibrant, that my
pictures don’t even do it justice. I just
love this color.
The necklace closure is a satin tie that is very easy to
tie, yet secure around your neck when baby pulls on it. After opening the package, I tied my green
floral teething + nursing necklace around my neck and picked up Gracie. She was immediately drawn to it and couldn’t
stop playing with it. She was grabbing
at it, putting it in her mouth, and moving her arms up and down with excitement
while still grasping it.
Playing with her new
necklace worked up an appetite. As I sat
down to feed her, she continued holding on to it, and did so during her entire
feeding. She loves this necklace as much
as I do. Like I said, before the
opportunity to review this fabulous green floral necklace, I had purchased a
few on my own in both styles (the traditional necklace like the green floral one,
and the teething ring necklace which includes a wooden teething ring). Below is a picture of all my TVHS teething +
nursing necklaces.
There are so many colors
and patterns to choose from on their website.
Seriously, there is a necklace to fit any style!
