Jewelry tells a story. It holds memories, represents milestones, and helps to establish ones style.
Since I was young, James Avery has always been a familiar jewelry brand to me. When it comes to mind, the first thoughts I have are; charm bracelets, sterling silver, and impeccable quality. The pieces I have received over the years are still in tip-top condition, and have yet to go out of style! James Avery artisans craft their pieces to last, and with such beautiful detail and care!
For this holiday collaboration, I selected 2 pieces to add to my collection. Those pieces each represent something special in my life, which I am going to share with you now!
The first piece I selected was the Eiffel Tower Charm. I selected it in sterling silver and decided to wear it as a pendant necklace versus adding it to my charm bracelet. At this point in my life, a necklace fits in more with my lifestyle and I love that their pieces are versatile enough to accommodate! I chose this charm because this year for my birthday, Jhonathan and I traveled to Paris for the first time. This has been a travel destination for me for as long as I can remember, and to have the opportunity to visit the “city of lights” was such an incredible blessing! I wear this necklace as a reminder of our adventure, memory of our trip and my birthday, as it was a cornerstone one!
Next up is this incredibly detailed Compass ring. I absolutely love this piece and selected it because of my desire to travel, and explore the world. There is so much out there to see and appreciate, I wear this ring to remind me of where I’ve been and to represent all of the places I’ll go! I suffer from anxiety which, for a short period of time, greatly depleted my ability to live a normal life -much even think about traveling. I promised myself that if I got better I would not let my fears keep me from experiencing all of the things I wanted to with my life and that’s exactly what I have been doing! This ring serves as such an important reminder to me, to not give up, and honestly makes me so proud for all of the things I have accomplished.
Although many people may have the same piece of jewelry, the memories attached, and stories the pieces tell, are as unique and special as the person they belong to, and I love that! So consider picking out a piece for that special someone in your life this season, and if you are in the Houston area, there is a new location off of Post Oak and Westheimer, perfectly located near the Galleria!
