Blogmania 2010 Sponsor: Necklace Necessities

Have a necklace that you no longer wear or don't like to wear?   Look no more as with the Necklace Necessities kit, your necklace will be coordinated with the length you want and no more annoying clasps turning to the front.  I've had that problem ever since I started wearing necklaces and sometimes, I quit wearing one because of the clasp.  I had an opportunity to review the Necklace Necessities kit and love it!


When you buy the Necklace Necessities ensemble, you receive a 30 piece package of Necessities Secure Strips that prevent your clasps from turning.  I love that very easy and practical idea!  The Necklace Necessities ensemble is a trio of unique necklace extenders. The silvertone and goldtone extenders adjust your necklace from 3 1/2 to 6 inches and the nonadjustable "faux" pearl extender extends your pearl necklace by 4 inches!

The innovative, adjustable Necklace Necessities extenders attach easily to standard necklace clasps and can adjust your necklace to perfectly fit your neckline. Another fun feature of the Necklace Necessities ensemble is the cute and convenient pink pouch that is included in each purse package. It's great for storing your extenders and for travel too!

Inside the little pouch is a trial size package of Necessities Secure Strips. It's a unique product which addresses another pesky issue women deal with. The small pieces of clear, hypoallergenic adhesive comfortably secure your necklace extender at the back of your neck so that your clasp doesn't turn to the front of your outfit!


The Necklace Necessities ensemble is a fun, practical gift to give if you need an inexpensive and unique gift for your mother, your sister or girlfriends. They'll love receiving the Necklace Necessities products in the beautiful purse package, and don't forget to get one for yourself! They're so handy and a great way to extend your necklace wardrobe!



Priced at $19.99, it's a bargain considering the possibilities of new life you just gave your existing necklaces and future necklaces to come.  To purchase, click here.  There are other necklaces you can purchase as well as custom gift wrapping, skin guard and more.
