Every Jewelry has a Story

Jewelry is not always frivolity.

 Every piece of jewelry tells a story. 

I fell in love with jewelry back when I was a little girl. It was my grandma who gave me my first piece. It was an antique ring with diamonds around a Sapphire stone, which was her birth stone. I still have it to this day. I used to love watching her get ready for Sunday church. I would see her in her best Sunday dress for that weekend, her simple makeup would consist of her pressed face powder - don’t know the brand- and sheer red lips. The last few things she would put on were her pearl earrings, with matching necklace and ring, and her beautiful silver watch. The image of her all dressed up is one of my favourite, everlasting memories of her. Do you have a fond memory of a piece of jewelry? 

Jewelry is the one little thing that has the power to make you feel unique. 

You can express yourself, your personality and your emotions through jewelry. Layer pieces together to express more than one emotion. A piece to celebrate an occasion, another one to remind you of a special person, one to celebrate an accomplishment and many more. You can wear a healing piece with your gemstone of choice or stack them together. Actually, the sky’s the limit. Don’t let anybody, except you, decide which piece you can or cannot wear. It really depends on you. (One exception would be involving work if any jewelry you might have on can put you in physical risk.) But on days where you don’t have to wear a uniform, you can be a bit frivolous! You can even have your very own jewelry wardrobe - Casual, dressy, formal, eclectic, etc.
