Calypso Studios – Review & Giveaway
is a fun trendy site that includes beautiful jewelry, and reusable shopping totes.
A little bit about the company per their website:
“Calypso Studios debuted in January 2007 with a line of jewelry and accessories created from the earth’s natural elements: clay, shell and glass. The new line was immediately embraced and praised for the unique designs and mediums. The designs are on-trend and span the ages in both technique and the persons choosing these distinctive and exclusive designs. More than a conversation piece, Calypso Studios jewelry symbolizes good taste for an independent spirit. It is our hope that this art will bring much pleasure to who wear it. Calypso Studios jewelry indeed serves to commemorate life’s happy moments.”
I received three different products from Calypso Studios. A tote bag, ring, and necklace.
The Shopping Tote
Pros: I got this in fresh design by Emma Hand. Reusable shopping totes seem to be getting more and more popular as everyone decides to be more eco conscious. I already have 2 other shopping totes and this one is a great addition. It measures a generous 17″ x 19″ and comes with a carrying case 
that is 8″ x 6″. I usually only have one reusable tote with me which never holds enough, so it’s nice that you can carry the case with you that can hold 3 totes. It will hold up to 20 lbs which is the same as 4 gallons of milk! That’s quite a bit. It’s made of a polyester which has a slick feel. This is awesome because you can wipe it down if it gets dirty or throw it in the washer. A lot of other reusable totes you have to put in the washing machine. It has held up really well, and I really like all of the designs that Calypso has to offer, plus there are so many designs to choose from.
Cons: The shop totes only come in a 3 pack. While it’s nice to have many totes, it means that shoppers who only want one don’t have that option. I also don’t think that the price is as competitive as it could be. At $20 for a 3 pack, it may be a bit of a turn off for buyers who haven’t used the totes to really see the quality of them. At first I wasn’t sure how it would hold up either becaue the material is quite thin. Don’t be deceived, these totes really pack a punch!
Calypso Rings
Pros: I received this adorable Hope Ring. This ring puts a bit of a spin on 
other rings because it is elastisized, making it a one size fits all. No more guessing on your ring size. It has silver metal plated beads and measure 1″ diameter. There are many other rings with inspirational sayings, as well as other cute elastisized rings. Calypso jewelry is actually priced really well. This particular ring is only $10 which is an awesome price!
Cons: I thought this would be a cute ring to wear on my thumb. My thumb fits around a size 8 1/2 ring, and I found this was a bit tight and left a bit of an indentation. It was something that I got used to. I tried it on my other fingers and didn’t really have the problem.
Calypso Bracelets
Pros: Last, but certainly not least was the cute bracelet. I actually couldn’t 
find the exact braclet on their website, but it is teal clay beads and is absolutely adorable. It’s somewhat similar to the crabby bracelet pictured to the right. It’s 3 ” in diameter and has an elastic center. The clay bracelets are handcrafted using kaolin clay. Not only are they pretty, but the elastic is very durable. As a mom, my kids love to take of my jewelry and play with it. It’s done well outstanding a 3 year old and a 16 month old. It’s also well priced at just $7.00
Cons: I really am loving this bracelet and can’t find anything I dislike about it!
The Bottom Line: Calypso Studios has durable shopping totes and beautiful, competitively priced jewelry. They also have key chains, earrings, and necklaces. A really great selection.
Price: $6-$25, depending on the product
