I shared these two pictures on our Facebook page today:
Those are the solid stainless steel version of the modern cufflinks we’ll be adding to the store! We’ll also be adding round and square cufflinks with different types of inlays (like engraved wood, washi paper, bamboo, and even solid ones with laser-etched designs)!
My sister-in-law recently added this sweet photo of her friend and her friend’s daughter to the Blend Creations Facebook page:
I think we found our littlest fan of the Connection necklaces.
(The necklaces are currently out of stock, but should we should be fully stocked again by the first or second week of June. Please join our restocking notification newsletter to be alerted of the exact restocking date).
When our friend (and talented SEO writer) Kristina Mausser wanted a ring to go with her modern necklace with the Mod Clover engraved wood pattern, she was going to pair the necklace with one of our modern rings with bamboo inlay.
But, we thought it would a perfect time to try doing a modern ring with an engraved wood inlay to match the pattern of her necklace instead:
Once the dust has settled a bit from this major new website update we’ve just done, we’ll be adding engraved wood inlay rings to the store!
It’s been many months in the making, but the new version of BlendCreations.com is now up and running. With this new design, we hope to make shopping for our contemporary jewelry designs that much easier!
Some of the new site features include:
1. Shopping by Occasion or by Recipient
We’ve had feedback that it would be helpful to shoppers looking for modern jewelry gift ideas to have curated collections of items that would make appropriate gifts. So now, if you’re looking for recommendations for birthday gifts, gifts for him or gifts for your wedding party, we’ve selected some popular items that are sure to please!
2. We now accept credit card payments in both US and Canadian Dollars directly through our website
In the past, Canadians had to be e-invoiced to pay in CAD. Canadians can now pay for orders directly through our secure website with Visa or Mastercard. Just make sure that you’ve selected CAD as your currency before checking out!
3. Reorganized the site to show more contemporary jewelry items per page
You’ll notice that the new site also groups related items together. For example, all the Cherry blossoms necklaces can be ordered from the same page. We’ve also added a “You May Also Like” column to show you related items to every product.
4. Other contemporary jewelry gift-giving options
Our Sweet Surprises with our paper-inlay pendants proved to be popular enough that we’ve expanded the Sweet Surprises line-up to include Torus necklace surprises and Engraved Wood pendant surprises. We’ve also added the option to send gift certificates by mail in addition to sending them by e-mail. Each gift certificate is accompanied by a greeting card with your message.
5. You can leave a Customer Review
Our new website now has the option for you to let us know what you think of your modern necklace, pendant or other jewelry piece. Just click on any item, and you’ll notice an area at the bottom of the page where you can rate it out of 5 stars and leave a little write-up. Your feedback will then help prospective customers to decide on their next purchase!
And Finally… The May-June giveaway!
And here’s where this month’s giveaway comes in! Because of all the website updating, we’ve been tardy in announcing the May giveaway. For this month’s giveaway, we’re giving away a Sweet Surprise of the winner’s choice.
To enter this month’s giveaway, we’d like you to test-drive our Customer Review feature and leave us a product review for an item you own or an item you covet. You’ll get one entry per product review and you can submit a maximum of five reviews per person.
We’ll draw from all the customer reviews we receive from now until June 30, 2010 at noon EDT. Good luck!
I’m Not Obsessed is giving away TWO Torus necklaces to two lucky winners. Just go to the I’m Not Obsessed posting and follow the instructions for your chance to win. Good luck!
Amy of Purple Pink and Orange was kind enough to include our Red-Brown Bamboo Ring in our Six Quick Picks: Lovely Rings feature today!
For our March giveaway, we decided to give away jewelry of the winner’s choice — to enter, you simply had to comment and tell us which Blend Creations contemporary jewelry piece you’d like: a modern necklace? a pair of earrings? or a necklace pendant perhaps?
Well, we used the Random Number generator, and picked…
Number 16! Which corresponded to comment number 16 by Jennifer P., who commented that she would like a Jade Flower Torus necklace.
Congratulations to Jennifer for winning our March giveaway!
This month, we’ve decided to give away our best jewelry gift idea for mothers, our family jewelry piece, the Connection necklace!
To enter, comment below and tell us:
1) Who would be the recipient for this modern necklace? (It can be yourself!)
2) What makes this the ideal piece of contemporary jewelry for that person?
3) How many rings and which birthstone colors or months would the necklace have?
You may comment once per recipient (i.e. you can enter one comment per person that you think should receive the necklace — once for yourself, once for you sister, once for your best friend, etc.). We will draw randomly from all the comments received on Monday May 3rd at noon EDT, but if the comment doesn’t have all the above answered, we will re-draw. Good luck!
We’ve just released our latest press release to promote our Connection necklaces:
For last month’s giveaway, we were drawing for one of our Connection necklaces (our modern interpretation of a ‘family’ necklace). We randomly drew a number between 1 and 51 and got #32, which corresponded to Katherine M’s comment about what her specific Connection necklace (seen below) would mean to her. If you haven’t read her comment, it’s very touching. Congratulations to Katherine M!
For this month, we’ve had a hard time deciding what to give away — so , to enter this month’s giveaway, let us know:
Which ONE Blend Creations piece would you like to win and why?
One entry per person please, and we’ll randomly draw one name out of the total number of comments that we have on April 1, 2010 at noon EST. Winner will be announced later that day. Good luck!
