Full review
We are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks and I needed some inexpensive jewelry I could wear. I found some great options at
Limoges Jewelry Online Store
MY EXPERIENCE
We normally prefer to sail on
NCL or
Princess as they offer a much less formal approach than some of the other Cruise Lines. BUT, last week I quickly found out that PRICE was an even bigger draw! We found a GREAT deal with
Celebrity where we could get two deluxe outside rooms for a 7 night Alaska for less than $500 pp! On top of that, we would get a $100 ship credit per room! It was a 24 hour sale and available the last three weeks in May. I wasn't sure if we should do it -regardless of the great deal as we were just leaving for a week at the Coast. I forgot about it until a few days later I get an early Mother's Day card with a note they booked the rooms over Mother's Day - awwwww
Now the bad news is that
Celebrity is one of the lines that requires (or STRONGLY requests) the more formal attire. There are both 2 formal and 2 semi-formal nights which
Celebrity wants not only to be at dinner, but also the rest of the evening. This of course requires more clothing AND for myself and my daughters, more JEWELRY. While we own appropriate jewelry I don't feel comfortable bringing it on board. The solution;
Limoges Jewelry Online Store!
The
Limoges Jewelry Online Store have a great selection of earrings, necklaces, rings etc. that are all sold with a 100% Lowest Price, Lifetime Guarantee. I figured we'd get some earrings we could all wear and found
6 Pair CZ Stud Earrings Set which range in size from 4mm to 6mm and
Sterling Silver 5 Pair Gemstone Earring Set, 6x4mm ovals for $19.99 and $29.99. I was also able to pick up a sweet
Crystal Heart Pendant for the girls to wear for only $4.99! All of the earrings, looked great.
Right now,
Limoges Jewelry Online Store is having a
Mother's Day sale with some nice deals. They also accept
Coupon codes which makes the deals even sweeter. I used the 15% off one without any problems and plan on using another one next time. Here are some that are in use right now -
MOTHERS5 for $5 off an order of $30 or higher
LSS15 15% off orders of $50
DAP07 15% off any order
There are a lot of codes out there so be sure to search to find the one gives you the best deal.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
I was given two choices for shipping -
1.
Regular Shipping - USPS, usually sent out in 2 days and then delivered within another 7 days. The costs starts at $3.99 but is FREE after $60!
2.
Express Shipping - 2nd Day Air shipped via UPS for an $16.99 charge.
Note: Personal items cannot be shipped Express.
Normally, I would NEVER pay over $15 for shipping - especially when I could get it for less than $5 or even for FREE but we booked this cruise within three weeks of sailing and since it was my first order, I had no idea how long it would really take. For my next orders, I will order them using the regular shipping but I just couldn't take the chance of it not getting here on time.
The window given for
Express Shipping is 5 Business Days from the order date. I am happy to say my order fell in that time period.

I found the
Limoges Jewelry Online Store via
Google and am very satisfied with them. I didn't have a lot of time to find some earrings and was happy to find a set of them at such a small price.
I would have like to know for sure that they would have been delivered quickly with regular shipping as it would have saved me some money but, it did get here quickly. I will be ordering again, my daughter really wants the Cartouche Pendant and her birthday is coming up :-) I am giving them 5 stars.
