Default Alex Woo jewelry
Has anyone purchased any jewelry from www.alexwoo.com previously? How is the quality? I've been looking at the website and see a few pieces that I like but am undecided if I should buy. I like the little inital and the little star pendants. I also like the Vida necklace.

If you've purchased from this jeweler, what did you buy?

I bought the silver heart pendant in the little princess collection. I didn't order directly from the site though, I bought it at Bloomingdales.

I definitley like the piece, the quality is great and doesn't feel fragile, or too 'thin', that it may snap or break in any way. The chain is also pretty nice, it really seems to sparkle and have a refelctive look as opposed to regular ball chains as the balls are not perfectly circular.

I think for the $ it is great brand. I would definitley purchace another. HTH!

I'm still trying to figure out what I want!! I was now thinking of getting the little initial pendant but with two initials instead of one. My initials are L and K but I think the little L by itself looks a bit plain, so maybe I'll order the "lk" together in sterling silver - I would love the diamond version but can't afford it !!

I have the sterling silver initial necklace w/ my first initial. It's very cute, not too big but not too small either, and it's also really unusual IMO because the letters are in lowercase. The first thing that my friend said when she saw mine was "why didn't you get me one too?", lol. (Her first initial is the same as mine). I would definitely recommend it.

Elsa Peretti for Tiffany has initial pendants in lowercase but they are in cursive writing not print. I didn't really like the "l" in cursive writing but I like how the Alex Woo jewelry let's you have more than one initial.

Ok... now I'm really leaning towards buying the Alex Woo initial pendant!!! I'll make it my X-Mas gift to myself!!!

I have the little j necklace, and i love it. The chain is really pretty IRL. It sort of looks boring on the website, but it has a nice sparkle to it. I'm saving up to buy the little m one & the butterfly one!

if you guys ordered direct from alexwoo.com, did you guys use a coupon code? I'm planning to get a silver h, but I'd definitely get a gold h with a code, TIA!

My boyfriend bought me the the little number 4, (he thought it would be a cute reminder of us since we started dating on the 4th of September 2004), in the diamonds/white gold option for my 17th Birthday, (just under 3 years ago now), and I haven't taken it off since. I LOVE the size and the cut of the chain; the quality is second to non. It always prompts alot of interest! I definately would not hasten to buy more jewellery from her in the future, my only criticisms are how her prices have steepened quite dramtically since our purchase 3 years ago... (as well as the shipping & handling to the UK, and also the customs charges!!)

out of curiosity...what would you say the quality level is in the diamond pieces comparing possibly to another designer.
