Sailor Moon Collection Ring and Necklace Pre-Order Opening!

 Hi friends! <3

I got an email from BB and B about an upcoming Sailor Moon collection and jumped on it. I love Sailor Moon, especially Sailor Jupiter. She's my favorite! I did an earlier post through the Lolita Blog Carnival with a coord inspired by her. You can read that here.

Hi friends! <3

Thoughts:

It's so cute! <3 The fox is adorable. The enamel is highly detailed and well done. The metal is thick and sturdy. I was surprised that it had two pin backs, but it is a little heavier than their usual wooden pins/brooches. I was not happy with the delay as I was looking forward to wearing it in the fall on my jacket. The free gift sounded nice, but it turned out to be a coupon with a discount code for my next enamel pin order. I would have preferred a postcard or art print featuring the crown fox. Then I could frame it for display. For now though, I'll just hang onto the coupon. Hopefully they do more fox pins in the future. Maybe a princess one? ;-)
