Review: Disney x BaubleBar Mickey & Minnie Sparkling Articulated Earrings

 

Last year I purchased a Disney x BaubleBar jewellery collaboration mystery box from the now defunct DoubleboxToys. I finally got around to unboxing the items to use as prizes so here’s my take on the Mickey and Minnie articulated gold tone sparkling earrings. . 

These Mickey and Minnie earrings are for pierced ears and their height is 1.25”. The earrings are based on the iconic Mickey and Minnie poses and outfits. The whole look is elevated by the addition of sparkle. Mickey has been enamelled and is adorned with sparkling black gems which catch the light and Minnie is also enamelled and sparkles with pearls and lighter gems. They are articulated so move gently with the wearer’s movements. They swing slightly and look as though they are dancing, which is unusual and eye catching. They would look great sparkling under disco Iights, dancing around in the wearer’s ears. Despite the articulation and gems they are deceptively light and don’t look as though they will drag the ear lobe down.  It’s a shame that they are only gold tone as they would be great to wear everyday for a fun look.  I haven’t worn them as they are a prize. 

I like these earrings. They are different to the existing Disney/ Mickey/Minnie Mouse designs. Sadly it doesn’t look as though BaubleBar have any stockists in the UK and can only be found in TKMaxx which is a shame. I like both the Disney collab and BaubleBar’s standard lines. I am put off, however, by the original £€£ RRP and the fact that the majority of their designs are gold or silver tone not at least gold or silver plate. There are a few sterling silver designs on their website but they do not ship to the UK and they have no plans to start doing so. I would expect some type of plating for the prices that are charged.

Review: Disney x BaubleBar Minnie Mouse Rainbow Bow Earrings

Last year I purchased a Disney x BaubleBar jewellery collaboration mystery box from the now defunct DoubleboxToys. I finally got around to unboxing the items to use as prizes so here’s my take on the Minnie Mouse Rainbow Bow gold tone earrings for pierced ears.

These earrings are for pierced ears and measure 1x1.5”. They are based on the iconic Minnie Mouse posing in her red dress and bow but they have elevated her look. Her red dress sparkles with red gems and her iconic bow is covered in sprinkles making the whole look seem very tactile and eye catching. The earrings feel very light despite looking like they should be heavy (I haven’t worn them as they are a prize). They are gold toned. 

I like these earrings. They are different to the existing Disney/ Minnie Mouse designs. Sadly it doesn’t look as though BaubleBar have any stockists in the UK and can only be found in TKMaxx which is a shame. I like both the Disney collab and BaubleBar’s standard lines.

Win Chamilia Disney Sterling Silver Mickey Crystal Pearl Pendant

Anyone remember the Chamilia range by Swarovski. They made grown up style Disney charms and jewellery. I purchased some when Swarovski shut the brand down to use as prizes but then forgot about them! So the first prize will be a Disney Mickey Mouse Sterling Solver and crystal black pearl pendant and chain.   

The Mickey head is sterling silver with a black crystal pearl for his face. It measures 1x1cm. A crystal pearl is a simulated pearl with a crystal in its centre covered in a pearl coating. They are stronger than natural pearls and they are less likely to be damaged by hairspray, perfume etc. They are the highest quality man made pearl. The chain is Sterling Silver, has the Chamilia tag, is 46cm in length with a 5cm extender attached. It comes boxed in a little Chamilia drawer and suedette bag. 

It is very elegant and understated. I have one and regularly wear it: Tgg he ey can still be found on eBay and Vinted for around 2/2 their original retail price.

Review: Disney Princess Yellow Gold-Plated Beauty & the Beast Belle Message Bangle

I got the Disney Belle 14k yellow gold plated message bangle as a GWP with an order I made at CoutureKingdom.com.  I recently was looking through my jewellery box to sort out what hadn’t been worn and would be used as part of my Disney jewellery/ hanging ornament competitions that I will be running over Christmas on both my Instagram and Twitter accounts and I realised that I hadn’t worn this bangle. 

 The bangle is very beautiful. It is a high shine, bright yellow 14k gold plate. It has Belle’s signature engraved on the inside of the bangle and “adventure is waiting for you” on the outside. It is presented in a Disney/Couture Kingdom gift box and is part their Princess Collection. It has a hinge clasp and the width of the bangle is 55mm. 

 I love the inspirational message and the look of the bangle but I find the hinge clasp very difficult to open close. I found it got easy to do as I was taking it on and off for photos but the struggle I had with the closure puts me off from wearing it.

Review & #Win Couture Kingdom White Gold Plate Winnie the Pooh Balloon Necklace

After a disastrous April - I fell a foot backwards suffered concussion, broke several ribs and had to have my head glued back together then to top it off my precious cat died suddenly. This month’s Instagram competition prize almost makes me smile. Never a fan of Winnie I do, however, find this 14k silver plated Couture Kingdom lariat necklace quite cute, with Winnie floating off holding a red balloon.

  This 3D sculpted necklace (£45) is made from 14k white gold plate with a high shine finish which contrasts beautifully with the red crystal encrusted balloon. The necklace measures 45 with a 7cm extender. Winnie and balloon measure 57mm. The tiny disc on the end of the extender has a cute honey pot on one side and an acknowledgement to A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard.

Couture Kingdom Disney Essential Toy Story Hamm Piggy Bank Enamel Stud Earrings & Necklace

 

The Couture Kingdom Disney Essential Pixar Hamm Piggy Bank Enamel Earrings (£14.99) and Necklace (£17.99) are available on both Couture Kingdom sites. They are part of the Disney Essential range and are made from stainless steel and have detailed enamelling. 

 

The earrings measure 12mm and are packaged in a display card, whilst the pendant measures 16mm and the chain 40cm with an addition 7cm extender. The necklace is packaged in a gift envelope which is great as the chain doesn’t get tangled up. 

The Disney Essential range make great gifts which are easy and light to pop in an envelope and post due to the current social distancing rules. The Jewellery is cute and reasonably priced for the quality and detail that goes into each piece of jewellery. These items, and others I have reviewed, would make a great gift for any Disney fan.
