Element83 Review and Give-Away!

What does a creative homeschooling family do when they are studying the periodic table? One family collected the elements, which turned in to a fascination with Element 83- Bismuth!

Some of the beautiful jewlery available at Element 83 Etsy shop!

"My husband's fascination with bismuth (the 83^rd element) began when he and our son started collecting the elements on the periodic table as a science project. When he got to element 83, he was impressed with the sample crystal he was able to create. He bought a couple of pounds of the raw metal online and melted it in a soup can. As it slowly cooled, crystals began to form beneath the surface.  When he poured out the bismuth that had not returned to a solid state, beautiful crystals in all different colors were revealed.  It is truly amazing to watch the bismuth transform into something so beautiful and unique!"

I love how this family took a science experiment and created, not only wear-able art, but an entire business out of what they were learning! 

I have been wearing a gorgeous, unique pendant from Element 83 for several days. It is the pefect addition to a summer tan. The colors are iridescent and subtle, and match anything.  I've actually had women come up to me, cradle it in their hand and ask with awe, "What is this?" Few people know what Bismuth is,  but when I say it's the 83rd Elements, there is usually some small spark of recognition. Let me tell you, this jewlery is eye-catching, unique, affordable and comment producing. I LOVE the pendant Mary (beauitful homescholing Momma and wife to the artist that makes all of this lovely jewlery) sent me and it's going to be hard to part with the gorgeous one I have to give-away.

But I'm gonna do it.

Because each piece of jewlery is unique, the winner will recieve a pendant that is similar, but not the same as the one show above.

Added bonus,  it comes in this fragrant, beautiful, cedar box!
