    I love her jewelry, so simple, elegant, and meaningful. My favorite i Simple Joys because the older I get, the more I find that the simple joys are the truest joys. Thanks for the giveaway!

    It’s so hard to pick on favorite, but the first to catch my eye was the turquoise pendant that she posted on March 7th.

    Mar 17, 2008 at 6:52 am
  • 22 Michaele

    I agree, it’s difficult to pick just one favorite! My daughter would love the best friends necklace, while I could see the Grandma’s Love necklace (with a few extra name tags added since we have three kids!) as a perfect gift for my mother’s upcoming birthday- for myself, I’d love the “Be Unique” necklace- or the black flower earrings—what do I mean “or?” Nope, I’d love the Be Unique necklace AND the black earrings!

    Mar 17, 2008 at 6:56 am

    My daughter was just born on Monday, so of course I love the baby design!

    I like the Simple Joys necklace. After becoming a mother for the first time in August and spending some time in the NICU with my baby and now seeing how far we’ve come, I’m constantly humbled at how precious life is! A baby is not simple, but does remind you of how fragile life can be!

    Each design is so simple and beautiful - I love that! I love the “precious baby” design (too bad there are no more babies in my future) I love the “be unique” design and would love to see it with any number of phrases…”be happy”, “be thankful”, or how about “be quiet” for my kids - just kidding (well kind of)

    Hola! I must say that I absolutley loved all the fabulous jewelry made by Cristina Ashley. I found it so hard to choose just one piece. However, I did make a decision on the beautiful, yet simple, necklace called Patience under Inspiration Necklaces. I am wanting to become a more patient person and the necklace would be a nice little reminder to do so. Thanks!! :]

    How talented–jewelry,photography, and stationary. Impressive. I love the Inspire necklace–working in an elementary school that is a motto I try to have guide me each day. I also like the premade pieces, not sure of the name–the kind of turquoise one with white flowers around it. They are all beautiful, choosing one would be tough. Great gift ideas.

    Definitely the ‘be unique’ necklace. I love the shape, the tiny bit of sparkle added and the open chain!
