Shop news | New Fusion necklaces in store

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

We’ve just added our newest design to the store – our Fusion necklaces! There are three styles: the assymetric fusion, the petite fusion and the long fusion.

They’re so-named because each necklace has two pieces of stainless steel: one with a brushed finish and one with a polished finish, that have been fused together. They’re modern and simple-looking, but can be quite symbolic of a union. Each necklace is personalized with a visual accent: either a Swarovski crystal in birthstone colors, or a faux-pearl. You can further personalize it with the engraving of initials, a date or a special word.

Giveaway | September’s jewelry giveaway for an engraved torus necklace and August’s winner

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

For September, we’ll be giving away an engraved Torus necklace! The double-sided engraving option is something we’ve made available only recently. It’s a perfect way to personalize this simple modern necklace and truly make it yours. We’ve engraved them with family members’ names, words of inspiration and serenity or personal mantras.

To enter this month’s giveaway, comment on this blog post with:

1) Your name.
2) Which of our torus necklaces would you want? (That is, which accent).
3) What would you have engraved on it? (Please note that if you answer “I’m not sure yet”, or “I don’t know” your comment will not count).

Please, only one blog comment entry per person.
(We’ll be posting some mock-ups of some of the personalized necklaces on the Blend Creations Facebook page.)

We will draw randomly from all the blog comments received by Saturday October 1st at noon EDT, and announce a winner on Monday, October 3rd.  If a blog comment is drawn and doesn’t have all of the above answered, we will re-draw. Good luck!

Wrapping things up from our August giveaway for a #supernerdkeyring, we randomly drew a number between 1 and 110 (there were 54 blog comments and 56 tweets) and got number 48! Congratulations to Kerri who left us the 48th blog comment:

Sneak peek | Work in progress: Labyrinth pendant

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

When we design new products, they always start with a sketch, then a production drawing and often a plastic prototype to get a good sense of what the piece will feel like physically.

We’re currently working on a Labyrinth pendant which would include a little maze marker that you can actually move. (Of course, the final product would be made of stainless steel and not plastic),

While the prototype isn’t nearly as robust as the final product would be, it’s already a lot of fun to play with!

 

Giveaway | March giveaway: Twitter necklaces

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Update: Please see below for new restrictions to entering this giveaway.
Update 3/28: This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for all your entries!

Congrats to our February giveaway winner, Aimee M. who has won a threesie Daisy Chain necklace! (We randomly drew from all the blog comments from our February giveaway blog post and came up with the number 12 which corresponded to Aimee’s comment).

As Aimee says:

Love the daisy chain! I think I’d have to keep it for myself. I’d love a necklace representing my little family – September, April, and May.

For our March giveaway, we’re mixing things up a little bit. We’re doing our first ever, Twitter giveaway!

Appropriately enough, we’ll be giving away our personalized Twitter handle necklaces — the winner will choose either the @ necklace or the birdie necklace. And there will be a winner every Monday in the month of March!

Here’s how to enter:

1) Follow: @blendcreations on Twitter.

2) Tweet the following in its entirety:

I’d like to win a @blendcreations #twitternecklace http://bit.ly/hGzgGA. Tweet for your chance to win. Details: http://bit.ly/f6lUls

UPDATE: New limitation to the giveaway, effective Sunday, Marcy 13 9:50 EDT — You cannot tweet more than ONCE PER HOUR, otherwise you will be disqualified from this giveaway.


The fine print:

The giveaway is open to all residents of Canada and the US. You can tweet as often as you’d like — so long as it is no more than once per hour. We will be drawing one winner every Monday at noon Eastern Time in March from all the tweets received from the previous week.

Winners will be contacted by direct message (DM) through Twitter, so you must follow @blendcreations for us to be able to contact you. We’ll announce the name of the winner each week by Tuesday after he/she has confirmed.

Good luck!

(P.S. If you can’t wait to see if you’re a winner, you can use the promo code “TweetTweet” until 3/31 to get 15% off your order! Or if you’ve won after you’ve already purchased a Twitter handle necklace, we’ll refund your purchase :)

Store News & Giveaway | New website launched!

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

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!
