I love discovering new small businesses, particularly those near my home city. I love supporting small businesses when and where I can, even if it's something as simple as liking their social media posts, leaving a good review and buying their products. So, the brand I'm discussing today is Xander Kostroma.

What items did you receive from Xander Kostroma?

I received the products 925 Sterling Silver Moonstone Necklace and the Sunshine Yellow Skull Print Cotton Shopper Tote Bag.

My thoughts on the items I received:

The necklace I received is of really great quality. It's beautifully handmade and it's nice to own a necklace of this uniqueness in my jewellery case. I don't own a lot of silver jewellery pieces, so this is a welcome addition to my jewellery collection. The stones on this necklace are moonstones. Moonstone is a beautiful and mystical gemstone and is a symbol of intuition, femininity and healing. Moonstones enhance creativity, calm emotions, and balance energies in the body and mind. I need all of these things daily!

The necklace is really versatile and looks great with a lot of outfits - I'm definitely looking forward to wearing it in the Summer!

The 100% cotton canvas tote bag comes in a medium weight. This bag is pretty sturdy and it does hold a lot of things. It's handy for me to have to hand when I go shopping at my local supermarket! The shopper is incredibly stylish and is unique and I like the design.

I also love Xander Kostroma's packaging. I love the box it came in and the little pouch the necklace was in. 

Would you recommend Xander Kostroma?

Yes, I would! The brand has a unique and beautiful range of products for everyone, and Xander has created a wonderful brand! I may be biased as the brand was born in South Wales, but I would highly recommend this brand to anyone looking for beautiful jewellery pieces or other accessories. These pieces would not only make a lovely gift for yourself, but for someone else also. 

I'd love to know your thoughts on my review!
