EX VOTO VINTAGE JEWELRY AND GIVEAWAY
Good Morning Everyone! I am so happy to introduce you to a store that just opened up shop in Nashville (stores in Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama too). Meet EX VOTO VINTAGE JEWELRY. I really like this brand, and here’s why… The owner and designer, Elizabeth Adams, lost her young daughter to a brain tumor (can’t even imagine!), and started Ex Voto as a means of solace after this trying time. Ex Voto means an offering of gratitude, and all I can say, is this strong woman has amazing faith!!!
When Elizabeth was born, a friend of her father’s gave her a baby locket and small card that read, “may your life be as beautiful as you are”. She says, “I have come to see that while life is not always easy, it can be beautiful”. I am amazed at strong women like Elizabeth, that can turn a tragedy into a purpose!
Ex Voto jewelry is created from antique and vintage pieces, each having a story behind it. There are one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces created by Elizabeth from antique elements. Ex Voto combines vintage lockets and beautifully shaped pendants, with semi-precious stones, vintage crystals, freshwater pearls, leather and chain plated in 18K gold. The Elizabeth Adams Collection is Ex Voto’s line of finer jewelry in 14K gold and sterling.
There are so many wonderful pieces to choose from! I am partial to this Shannon necklace, these gray pearl earrings (which I bought), this cuff, this wrapping bracelet, and the gold vine ring. You can feel good about making a purchase with Ex Voto, because a portion of each sale goes to pediatric brain cancer research!
Do you want to know how lovely Elizabeth is? She is giving one of my readers a $100 gift card. All you have to do, is sign up below for a chance to win (don’t have to live in Nashville to participate)! Many thanks to Ex Voto for this generous gift! Please check out the website!!!

Agree, all of the pieces are amazing. I love the look & feel of something you would have inherited from a family member – it evokes a feeling of admiration. That’s always appealing to most women. Makes them feel romantic.
