My Jewelry Story and Recomendations

     I have had a jewelry revolution. I am not a jewelry wearer at heart. I’m a lazy person who usually thinks “urrghhh, it’s just another thing to do.” That is, until recently.

     I’ve started collecting pieces that mean something to me, and if you struggle with finding meaning to jewelry, perhaps this article will help you. If you don’t struggle, and are an avid art wearer, please read on as well since I have some good places for you to check out. If you’re just here for a story, you might just get that too.

      I started my jewelry journey with birthstone pieces. Obviously it gives me something to connect to as I like my birthstone, and it can certainly connect you to other people and their birthstones. I have several rings, and necklaces with amethyst features, and it’s always something I find I can wear to fancy events, or to work, or on a day that I just feel like a special little dove. I found a great shop on Etsy that sells birthstone jewelry as seen in the picture below, so please click HERE if you want to see more from Dashe Designs! Now, obviously this seller has amazingly gorgeous pieces (as evidenced the the photo), but you're going to want to click the link and go bananas. This shop as so many stunning necklaces and earnings that you're bound to find something incredible for a special someone in your life. Yes, that special someone may very well be you.

      Next, I started getting into infinity bracelets. They're amazing because you can wear them loose or tight, high or low, and best yet, you can wear them around your neck. They work with so many outfits, colours, events, moods and whims. They're the perfect accessory in my opinion. The one in the picture below is my actual hand (aren't I an amazing model too? Look how my fingers are all spread apart like that, and the nail polish clearly chipping off...) and the bracelet/necklace was created by DaisyViolet Jewelry. I've since bought more from DaisyViolet, and the best part about this artist is that she creates such an eclectic mix! My current favourites are her haircelets.

     Then I started using Etsy and noticed a world of incredibly genius creators with such fanciful expression (and I never just USE the word "fanciful"). I was immediately drawn to Tiny Hands Jewelry where you can wear scented mini delicacies around your neck. Of course it took me a while to decide what I was most passionate about, but I eventually chose this adorable strawberry ice cream necklace. I mean, if you're going to buy an ice cream necklace, you've got to get your favourite flavour!

     Lastly, my most recent update has been my go-to weekend necklace. As a massive Harry Potter fanatic, I knew the second I saw this golden snitch necklace that I needed it. Love and Gift sells these magical pieces as well as a bunch of other spectacular goodies! If you're a Potterhead, you'll definitely have a hard time buying only one piece of jewelry.

     Finally, this is my advice; go for pieces that excite you, and mean something to you. It's going to make you naturally gravitate to your jewelery box, or counter, or where ever you keep lovely hangy things. You're going to go pick out one piece and have several awesome options that help you express yourself, and make it hard to decide.
