Believe...

Seeing is believing, believing is seeing.  See yourself doing great things and they will happen! If you keep your head up and your spirits alive, there is nothing you can't do. Whether it be believing you can get that promotion, make the team, get good grades, or even just get the kids to school on time, let your necklace or bracelet remind you to stay true to your beliefs and keep you headed in the right direction. 

This month we are featuring all of our jewelry which inspires us to believe. Everyone has those days where it just seems like everything is going wrong. Even though it would be easier to just give up, if we believe in ourselves and convince ourselves things will get better, they most certainly will.

Believe you can do anything, there is no limit to what you can accomplish.

Gifts That Give Back

As much as we all love to see dozens of presents packed under the tree each year, the real joy comes from giving gifts, especially to those who truly need them. Share your love in many ways this holiday season by giving a loved one a necklace from Kyra's Collection. 100% of the proceeds are donated to charities which support children, animals, aeromedicos, hunger relief, and the Ovarian Cancer Research fund.

The collection was pioneered four years ago by my daughter, Kyra, who wanted to give back to the community while doing something she loved, designing jewelry. 

Kyra's compassion for the collection is a daily reminder to me just how important it is for us to find little ways to share the gifts we have so graciously been given with those who feel they may not have gifts to give. In these hard economic times, it is more important than ever to look outside ourselves and share our love with all those around us. Give a gift that gives in more than one way, no one will appreciate it more than you.

A Little Glitter for the Holidays

So much for silver bells, white winters, and red and green... everything. Add a splash of gold to warm up your spirit and your look this holiday season!

After years of using only silver to create our jewelry, we decided to create a collection that has the stunning and classy look of gold while remaining true to our silver roots. Vermeil is a thick, gold plating which is put over our sterling silver designs so the jewelry appears gold, but is without the gold price tag. We have chosen some of our favorite designs to offer in vermeil including many of the message beads, chunky chokers, and dainty discs.

Wear vermeil yourself to add a little shine on hose cold, dreary days, or give it to others and show your heart of gold!

Layer it on. Cut one chain shorter so you can wear multiple necklace
