Happy Stories From our customers

Most of us have a good luck charm or two, without even knowing it. It’s that go-to piece of jewelry we put in that makes us feel safe, comforted. The longer we wear it, the more it seems to grow in strength. Or so we like to believe.

And perhaps that belief is enough to “charm” our lucky piece. If we simply feel more confident and emboldened when we wear it, didn’t it work its magic already?

Celebrities have a long history of good luck charms. And athletes too (who often feel that that their charm of choice helps them win a game).

These “lucky” celebrities include:

Audrey Hepburn had a lucky rabbit figurine.

Lindsay Lohan had a favorite bracelet as a lucky charm.

Madonna has been known to wear a red string bracelet to ward off bad luck.

Cate Blanchett proudly displays her bronzed Lord of the Rings elf ears in her home for a dose of good luck.

Benicio del Toro wears a ring with a wooden core so he can always knock on wood whenever needed.

Cameron Diaz wears a lucky charm necklace to ward off aging.

Some celebrities and sports stars deviate from jewelry as good luck charms.

Serena Williams credits a pair of socks as her good luck charm. “I have a pair of socks that I’ve been wearing every match,” she said. “I’ve never lost a match in these socks so I guess that is a little superstitious.”

Helen Mirren dons a lucky pair of shoes she wears to awards shows.

What about you? What’s your good luck charm? Don’t forget: you can always create one of your own, with every element of it representing aspects of you. Learn more about our custom design process.

Who knows more about jewelry trends than a supermodel who has literally donned thousands of magnificent pieces over decades? Kate Moss joins a massive registry of celebrities who have launched jewelry lines. But jewelry has been more than a passing fancy for Ms. Moss. She has loved it since she was a wee lass:

According to Vogue:

“I would always hunt at Christmas for the smallest box and hope there was a piece of jewellery inside.” In 1997 she told Vogue, “It’s my drug of choice.”

Collaborating with Brazilian designer Ara Vartanian, the jewelry reflects “pieces that have meaning and that you can wear every day.” This includes pieces with medieval symbolism and amulet-protection qualities. “These pieces aren’t about fashion,” insists Vartanian. “The stones and attitude give them a powerful energy, they are forever.”

If you’re like, oh…a million other women, you have a drawer or box for your “junk jewelry.” Or maybe this lesser-than jewelry is mixed in with your good pieces. Wherever you put it–or however much you accrue–it could be going to better use than collecting dust or tangling with other jewelry.

This video suggests some quick and easy ways to repurpose your jewelry so it has a brand new life…and gets out of that black hole of a junk jewelry drawer!

What’s there not to love about hoop earrings? Not only are they fun and flirty, but for the practical jewelry wearer, they’re comfortable and stay put on the ears.

Hoop earrings have been around for decades, appearing throughout fashion history in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. They reached a popularity apex in the 70’s when they were funky, oversized and fit with all the “mod” outfits of the time.

Now, you may still see some oversized earrings (we suggest everyone has at least one fun pair) but they also come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, perfect for everyday or evening wear.

Why not consider a custom design pair of hoop earrings? (We’ve done many in the past.) We also have a sweet selection of high quality earrings waiting to ship to your doorstep.
