About 2 weeks after I ordered my jewellery from Anne Dundas, I received my package! Shipping was quick – under 2 weeks from Australia to Malaysia and it came in a bubble envelope to protect the precious cargo inside. These are the 2 items I ordered.
The first is a lampwork bead pendant on a silver chain. The other is a long necklace set with matching earrings.
I was too impatient so I didn’t take pictures of the packaging. However, it is worth a mention because Anne packages each item in a clear ziplock bag, then wraps it individually in lovely lavender coloured paper and tied with a ribbon. The items are then further wrapped in another piece of paper to be more secure. I would have liked them wrapped up one more time in bubble wrap to be doubly sure, but I guess that will add to the cost. Since everything came in perfect condition, I have no gripes about the packaging.
And here are pictures of how they look on:-
I was quite surprised initially when I saw the lampwork bead. I had expected something smaller. Not to say that I was not pleased though. It is matte and really pretty with all the colourful swirls on it. My mom actually said it was pretty which made me happy of course!
The green set is quite unique because the necklace can be worn long or doubled up short. I love the colour – the green is awesome! The matching earrings were also really pretty.
Anne charged me $3.85 for shipping which was very reasonable as it just about covered the actual shipping cost (based on the stamps on the envelope). I like it when sellers don’t jack up shipping costs any old how and it makes me happy to purchase things from them.
All in all, it was a good experience shopping at AnneDundas.com. The best part of course, is that every piece is unique which adds to the allure. I will be popping by her site from time to time to see what else she has to offer!
those are cute jewelries!!!!
They’re all so pretty, good shopping, PB!
I recognize the top! :D but they’re definitely extremely pretty – dang…now I wanna go take a gander too!!
Pretty pretty… *sigh* I think I’d love the green set even more in person!
Hehe… I shall start sending links to Anne Dundas’ site to people I know nearer Christmas time. LOL.
Nikki: Thanks! They are :)
Monstro: Yep at 70% off, woohoo!
Beetrice: LOL… sure looks familiar eh?
rinnah: I think the green would look awesome on you. And yes, do prep a wishlist for yourself! ;)
Sqweeeeeeeeeee!!! I’m so glad they arrived all safe and sound! I was getting a lil worried when I hadn’t heard anything.
I’m so glad you like them! :D The green set was one of my favourites.
A hint for the future for Christmas time, I’m planning on having another 70% off sale in November. ^wink wink^
Cheers!
Anne :D
They are precious! I had a couple of lampbead jewellry from my mother’s trip to Italy last year. They are gigantic. Mr Andie thought they were memory sticks. Yours are so delicate.
The green set (earrings) will look great with cheongsam. Don’t you think?
Nice Jewellery. We are glad that you have had a positive experience buying jewellery online. There are many reputable online jewellery stores, just like ours.
Anne Dundas: Yes everything arrived safely, thank you! I’ll be sure be pop by again in November! :)
Andie: Ooh I didn’t think about cheongsams because I don’t wear them lol… But you are absolutely right! A jade green cheongsam would be awesome.
Ah, you know, that lampwork bead pendant really caught my eye when I met you that day…it’s just I was too excited to say anything…. :)
They’re gorgeous! Great choice. I checked out her side, and I was really tempted. November sales she said? EXCELLENT!! :D
Giddy tigress: Heh… it was great meeting you and next time, ask! :)
Tine: Thanks and yes I’m bookmarking her site for November!
