Special, early #MothersDay delivery — this @walters_faith Dora diamond disc charm, with Gino’s name engraved on the front. I love how this piece has an enhancer bail, meaning I can clip it onto chains & links without taking it to my jeweler. I just flip open the bail and it securely latches on!

@walters_faith has so many great options for Mother’s Day and 20% of all sales purchased on their website between April 18th - May 9th will be donated to @baby2baby ♥️

Every Wednesday during @mayisgoldmonth I’ll be spotlighting 6 different MAKERS in collaboration w @mayisgoldmonth

▪️Today, Victoria of @victoriacunninghamjewelry tells us why gold is important in her work:

🗯"When I began creating jewelry over 25 years ago I used sterling silver. Once I started working with gold I never looked back. I love 14k yellow gold. It has a soft warm color that looks good on every skin tone. It is rich yet understated, and I love the way it looks as it wears over time. I have always been obsessed with jewelry. As a result, I developed an eye for the “real thing,” and noticed jewelry wherever I went. I continue to be inspired to create the perfect treasured piece that one can put on and never take off. Nothing lasts like gold and I think it gets better with time.”

@MayIsGoldMonth is back (I missed it so much last year) to celebrate all things karat gold! Similar to years of the past, I’ll be covering 6 WEEKLY TRENDS--giving you ideas on how to wear & most importantly SHARING how each other wears them.

▪️This week is all about GOLD BRACELETS!

▪️ It’s obvious that this category of jewels is what I’ve been focusing on lately. Perfectly that ✨ideal✨ gold bracelet stack is tough! My advice is to mix different gold textures & link styles. The height in which they measure off your wrist is also really important and something I didn’t consider until recently!

✅ Would love to see your most favorite karat gold bracelet stacks!

Love the duality trend that’s happening in fashion right now, and so cool to see it translated to jewelry. This necklace from @dharmaaajewelry gives you two looks in one — called the Blooming Necklace, it’s handmade in Peru with solid 18k yellow gold. ☯️☯️☯️

These are @heather_b_moore Elizabeth Stones & Harriet Stones (name based on the setting style) and each are one-of-a-kind gemstone charms that add a little pizazz to your necklace. Get one to represent a loved one, a trip or simply your favorite color.

The tourmaline ones were my favorite, but I love a good opaque stone, and the best part is they’re even better in person. These were so tough to photograph!!

From now until Mother’s Day, I’ll be sharing some of my personal favorite charms that I’ve collected since having my son. I love finding different charms, whether they’re vintage or new, that connect me to him ... some faves are engravings, birthstones, zodiac sign, initials, numbers and themes. This is my personal collection that I’ll be sharing overtime individually in Stories!

Will tag as many designers as I can here! #gemgossipcharms

There’s no other designer that exemplifies motherhood within jewelry better than @heather_b_moore

Her pieces are incredibly sentimental and pack so many memories, milestones and occasions into each design. I admittedly never understood the appeal to having something engraved or personalized until I became a mother.

I loved getting to play with & photograph so many different styles of charms, different chains and a couple connectors, all from @heather_b_moore — check them out for #mothersday 🌸

Personal collection featuring Marian of @chincharmaloney ✨

“What I really love about jewelry is that it is layered with so much personal meaning. It has the power to convey strong emotion without words and it lives on to create meaning for other individuals over time. Every one of my pieces has a story for me but someday these same pieces could become a special part of another person's story. It makes me feel very connected to something essential about being human.”
