SculptRenaissance Sponsored Review #2: Ravenclaw Ring!



I was lucky enough to receive a few things from this amazing store on Etsy!
The owner, Beverly, hand-etches all of her items, and 
also makes mini-figures and other jewelry.


Her rings start around $5, and go up depending on if you want an inner message 
or even have the etchings painted!

SculptRenaissance offers all the houses, house colors, and either the House 
name or emblem!  This is the 6mm band in blue with the Ravenclaw name 
in plain script.
The ring is offered in both 6mm (Sz 3-9) and 8mm (Sz 8-16).

The color is exquisite, and true to the House.  Blue has always been my favorite color, 
and I'm super happy with how it looks!  You also have the option of 
having the carving painted, but I love a blue/silver combo, so I stuck with it.

Beverly, the shop owner, is extremely skilled in her craft, 
and the script is amazing!  It's perfectly even, and super professional.
If you'd like, you can also have a short message etched onto the inside of the ring!


I LOVE THIS!  The series has been a part of my life since I was a kid, and I've always affiliated myself with Ravenclaw. This is a gorgeous addition to my House stuff.  I think I can wear this for any occasion!

Shipping was SUPER fast!  My package arrived a couple days after shipping.  SculptRenaissance ships all over the world, and all the options are fairly inexpensive.  They are packed very lightly to save customers shipping cost, so my 5 items plus business cards, receipt, and bubble wrap all fit inside my letter-size PO Box!  This is awesome for PO Box-ers because you don't have to wait in line to pick it up!

SculptRenaissance also takes commissions, so if you don't see the design or figure you're looking for, send her a message!  She's extremely accommodating!

Celeb Nudy Pink Circle Lens Review


[Link]

Available: Plano to -10.00
Yearly
BC: 8.6mm
Diameter: 14.5mm
Water Content: 38%


Packaging:

The order came in a large bubble wrap-lined FedEx envelope.  Inside that 
was the brown envelope which held the box.  VERY secure!

The box contains a thank you card and a notice about the LV Instagram 
selfie contest!

Under the padding are the lenses and cases.  I really like that LensVillage 
makes the most of space so that my stuff wasn't rattling around 
in a big box or envelope.

Unlike other circle lens shops, LensVillage uses simple cases in different colors.
They have a hint of glitter, too.  I like to color-code which lenses go in which cases, 
so these pink lenses went in the pink case


Review:
Regular ol' eyes.

There we go.  I got these lenses with Roxy or Mom Lalonde in mind.
LV was having a sale on several types of lenses from $10-$15, 
so I snatched these up to use til I can get my goal pair.


Color:  The pink is subtle, but noticeable.  I really like it!

Pattern: It's not quite a jewel tone, but it reminds me of the opacity.  It blends really well and doesn't obviously show where it meets my actual iris.

Enlargement: Kind of enlarging, but nothing crazy.

Comfort:  Super comfy!

SculptRenaissance Sponsored Review #1: Deathly Hallows Ring!

"There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight."
I was lucky enough to receive a few things from this amazing store on Etsy!
The owner, Beverly, hand-etches all of her items, and 
also makes mini-figures and other jewelry.


Her rings start around $5, and go up depending on if you want an inner message 
or even have the etchings painted!

All of her items come with these cute little hearts.  Everything is 
packed nice and safely in these tiny little boxes with some padding.

Ta-dah!!

Mine is the 6mm band in black.  The ring is offered in both 6mm (Sz 3-9) 
and 8mm (Sz 8-16).  The symbol is perfect!  I also think I noticed 
a faint gold iridescence to the black.

Here's the picture on the shop page that displays both sizes!  On the 8mm ring, 
the design is enlarged to fit the band.

With any of the etched rings, you can ask to have a short phrase cut into the inside. 
(It's only $1 extra!)  To go with the theme, I chose
"He greeted Death as an old friend."

Another look at the incredible script.  
This takes a LOT of talent and steady hands!


I absolutely LOVE this ring!  I've loved the Harry Potter series since it started being published when I was a kid, and this was a perfect addition to my fandom gear.  Another thing I love about it is that it's sleek and lovely enough to be worn for any occasion.

Shipping for my items was SUPER fast!  They arrived within a few days.  She ships all over the world, and all the options are inexpensive.  They are packed very lightly to save customers shipping cost, so my 5 items plus business cards, receipt, and bubble wrap all fit inside my tiny PO Box!

SculptRenaissance also takes commissions, so if you don't see the design or figure you're looking for, send her a message!  She's very sweet, and a pleasure to work with!

"But though Death searched for the third brother for many years, he was never able to find him. It was only when he had attained a great age that the youngest brother finally took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life.”
