A Little Thursday Inspiration

Of all the things I love about my life and work has been the opportunity to meet and work with amazing and dynamic women.  And through my love of jewelry, I have discovered my passion and have been able to create a life of purpose.   

So many people are afraid to follow their dreams.  I know for me, I knew I had to give mine a chance.   I threw my hat over the fence 10 years ago and have not looked back.  I feel that you cannot live a life of “what if’s.”  What is the worse that can happen?  You fail?  Well in that case, you pick yourself off and dust yourself off.  

It has not been easy, but when all is said and done, I love doing what I do and would not have changed a thing! Don’t give up!  You have heard those words a million times, but they are words to live by and here are a few others…. 

“If you are going through hell, keep going.”

Winston Churchill

“Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.”

William Feather

Happy Thursday and always remember to:

LAUGH LOUDLY

EXPRESS FEARLESSLY
WORK JOYOUSLY
COMMIT TOTALLY

Bringing it Back to the Eighties

About a week ago, we came across this beauty and couldn’t resist snapping a pic and making it viral. We posted it to our Pinterest and Facebook, and the response was INSANE! It was obvious so many of you look back at these with the same nostalgia we do, but what do you think – would you rock a modern version of one of these today?

Express Yourself!

Many women (and men) don’t think about the fact that jewelry is just as expressive as clothing and accessories!  Jewelry boosts your confidence, it’s a conversation starter, and it’s a form of self-expression just like a new outfit!  Not to mention, jewelry can represent milestones: birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, championships, engagements, new mothers, graduations, and the list goes ON!  Never underestimate the power of an adornment, anklet, bangle, beads, bracelet, brooch, cameo, chain, charm, choker, diamonds, earrings, gem, locket, necklace, pendant, ring, rock, sparkler, stone, treasure, or trinket… and, don’t leave the house without at least one! EXPRESS YOURSELF!

Metallics Pack A Mean Punch!

Metallic polishes are infusing the top Spring/Summer 2012 accessories!  Creating a sleek and glamorous look can be challenging for even the best fashionistas out there, but adding a hint of metal sheen to any look is changing that defiance!  Keep your eyes pealed for bold metallic accents on jeans, blouses, swimsuits, and shoes this season.  However, you don’t have to rely on clothing to make the statement.  Soft neutrals, stark whites, and bold brights pair effortlessly with metallic jewelry.

Travelling with Your Jewelry: Minus the Tangled Mess

While vacation is always welcome, the packing and travel process itself can be pretty grueling. Opening your suitcase only to find a tangled mess of chains and stones can start your relaxing vacation on a stressful note. We’re here to save you that bit of stress with this simple, DIY option to get you and your jewelry there in one piece!

Emily’s Favorite Piece From Our New Collection

The Orson (pictured below) is the most amazing necklace! Not only has turquoise become a necessity, but the turquoise and gold combo is gorgeous.  The best part about this 2 pendant piece is its simple closure… no frustrating clamps or tiny clasps involved!  The necklace is held in place by looping one of the pendants over the other, leaving you to decide the how dangly you want them. Cool, right?  The flat construction of the chain not only prevents tangling, but it also keeps the necklace from falling off.  You can pair the Orson necklace with the Gloria earrings, throw on your favorite fitted T, and run out the door!  I love wearing these two pieces with my simple black maxi dress…
