UPDATED: Congrates to Leslie (Lgibson79), winner of the Johnson’s Originals glass pendant!

I will be the first one to admit that I’m not a big jewlery wearer.  I’m the type that goes for quality over quantity.  I don’t even wear a watch.

So when, after years of nagging, I was told to ‘get a medic alert bracelet, or else’ (I have several serious drug allergies), I tried not to gag at the thought of one of those ugly, clunky silver bracelets or necklaces.  (I’m seriously dry heaving at the thought).  I broke down and got the stupid alert tag that announces to the world several creative ways to kill me, but I would often ‘forget’ to wear them.  Kinda defeats the purpose, don’t you think?

I was whining about this burden I had to bear to my IRL friend, Crystal.  She gave me one of those ‘you’re an idiot looks’ (but luckily refrained from slapping me upside the head) and said something to the effect of “Duh… I make jewelery“.   Riiiiight.  She does.  Make beautiful jewlery.  In fact I already owned earings and a bracelet from her (yeah, stuff I actually wear).

Well, Crystal, true to her creative form, designed, not one, but three interchangeable bracelets for my medic alert.  I LOVE THEM.  Seriously.  And I really love the fact I can switch the tag and change up the look.  I’m not stuck with the same boring thing all the time. Cause see… Crystal’s creative AND smart like that.

Crystal and her husband own Johnson Originals.  It’s all hand crafted, unique jewelry.  I love checking in at their store because they’re always adding new pieces they’ve created.

Their newest project (so new, that, as of this posting it’s not even on their site, so you guys are getting and exclusive sneak peak right now) are gorgeous, one-of-a-kind glass tile pendants. *swoon*

The best part of these is they can put any picture, name or whatever you desire in the pendant.  (Looking for a birthday gift for mom?  A Christmas present for Grandma??)

The pendants can be strung on a cord or ball chain, or Johnson Originals will make a custom beaded strand to complement the pendant.

But you lucky, lucky, lucky readers!  One of you is going to take home this beautiful pendant strung on black cording.  (I WANT… what do you mean I can’t enter?  Dammit!!)
