You wouldn’t know it by looking at me but I love jewelry. I just never wear it very much – as long as I have on my wedding rings I’m accessorized. Between the kids pulling on necklaces and the bracelets getting caught on things while cleaning. It’s really a hassle.
However, when I get a chance to dress up, the jewelry is a must have. Most of it is costume jewelry and not very expensive. But I do dream of the day I can shop til I drop at Bloomingdale’s. Wouldn’t that be a dream come true for any of us?
This Mother’s Day, Bloomingdale’s is thrilled to support the Joyful Heart Foundation, a special charity founded by celebrity mom Mariska Hargitay. In case you’re not familiar, the mission of the Joyful Heart Foundation is to heal, educate and empower survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse, and to shed light into the darkness that surrounds these issues.
Bloomingdale’s invites us to help support this important cause by –
Shopping Bloomingdale’s and bloomingdales.com for two must-have gifts (perfect for mom, or any fashionista!) that support the cause:
Crystal & Resin Necklace by Aqua ($80) – $8.00 from the sale of each necklace goes to the Joyful Heart Foundation during the month of May 2012. Available in coral, turquoise, and light pink exclusively at Bloomingdale’s and bloomingdales.com

I’d actually like to win this for my sister-in-law, who wears pretty things like this.
Beautiful necklace! My daughter would love this!
I want the necklace because it is beautiful!
I’m trying to expand my comfort zone and wear bolder pieces of jewelry. (i usually wear a simple chain with a small pendant, if I wear a necklace at all) This is a great piece I would wear (bold without being in-your-face).
Thanks for the opportunity!

My wife would absolutely love this necklace and after the year shes had she deserves to win something her 26 year old brother was in a near fatal motorcycle accident last yr and we have sacrificed a lot over the course of a year or i would be able to buy one for her i work 2 jobs just to keep our house from going under and shes either working or assisting with her brother that is in a nursing home now after we almost lost him a yr ago, with 3 brain surgeries, full body blood transfusion and multiple broken bones due to a dump truck that was over weight that made a quick turn with no signal, My wife has kept it together through all this and still manages to keep her head up, i know with all my heart that she would truly love this as much as all of the other ladies and mothers out there but if anybody deserves to win anything in my eyes its her!!
Hello I am a single mother of two boys and this is beautiful !! Most of my money goes to providing a roof and rest of necessities for my loves !! I wouldn’t change it but can certainly appreciate a beautiful piece of jewelry !!
It is beautiful! I would love to have this!

I love the beautiful giveaway that you have, especially since part of the sales of this item do go to charity normally. If I were to win it I would definitely make sure to mention that information every-time someone asked me about the necklace. Ensuring that the Joyful Heart foundation gets the much needed attention it deserves. It is a plight very dear to me.
Would like to win this one for my wife.
