Do Those Shiny New Earrings

Make You Feel Radiant?


     I bought these earrings about eight years ago at one of the Union Square Holiday fairs in New York City. Actually, the salesgirl was wearing them and I thought they looked fantastic.
     They make me happy. They make me feel fabulous. I don’t know, even if I don’t bother with makeup, I just feel instantly better.
      I always tell people when they’re buying jewelry: If a piece doesn’t make you feel amazing and fabulous, if it doesn't make you feel like your best self, then you shouldn’t get it.
      Is jewelry important to me? Hell yes! It’s such an easy way to express yourself and to feel beautiful and, I don’t know, without sounding like a cheeseball, to feel radiant really.
Ruthie Adler, a graphic designer from New York City (Chelsea), had been working for less than eight months at the KT Collection Jewelry Store at 73rd and Columbus on New York's Upper West Side when Bijoux Bios' Jaye Ann Terry interviewed her. She was wearing  medium gold-fill Sneaky Sexy Hoops from the store. Here’s Adler's description of the earrings posted on the store's website: "They're surprisingly light weight, and a flattering teardrop shape. They're a bold, glamorous size, but it's made of such a sleek, slim square wire hoop that they're still subtle enough to wear every day (which is good, because I do).”

"It constantly reminds me of my mother."

    This jade ring was a gift from my mother, Nellie Mae Van Orman Gill. She was living on the island of Guam at the time. She and her husband traveled to Hong Kong, and it was there where she spotted the ring. The ring came from China, better known as Red China then. It was 1969. I was 25. It was the height of the Vietnam War protests, and the Chicago riots. I was at Ohio State my graduate year to get my master's in communications.  When she came to the States, the ring passed through U.S. customs without difficulty. She gave it to me as a present when I graduated with a master’s degree from Ohio University. She said Jade was to bring good health and to wear it  always. I had the ring sized to fit and haven’t taken it off since. That was more than 50 years ago. The ring has stayed the same, but my hand is bigger. Since I’ve been wearing the ring, my health has been relatively good, but that’s not why I wear it. I wear it because it constantly reminds me of my mother.  Dav

Can You Ever Have Enough Jewelry? Gwen Reese: No. Unequivocably, no.        There are times over the past five maybe 10 years that I thought, yes, you’ve got enough jewelry. You don’t need another piece. You’ve got more than you can ever wear in a lifetime. So you need nothing else. You’re not buying another piece of jewelry. And I committed to that… until I saw the next piece of jewelry. And I bought it and so now I’ve stopped saying that. I’m just like no we can never get enough because we just can’t.      We see something beautiful that resonates with us. Our energy just connects with it.  There’s not a piece I buy just because it’s a piece of jewelry. Everything I buy just reaches out for me. I connect with it. It causes me to tingle even. I’m drawn to it. Sometimes I look for something… if it’s a crystal but most of the time I’m just out and about and…I’m not in jewelry stores because there’s something I’m supposed to get…I don’t even know what it is but when my Spirit s

Diamonds Are Forever -- Even Those Hidden From Our Eyes

Image
                              This story, a much needed comfort right now, comes from Bainbridge Island, Wash., a Seattle neighbor with forest trails and landscaped gardens and gasp-worthy views of Cascade and Olympic peaks and Puget Sound. What begins as a tale of loss ends with a recovery. It's a tale we need to hear. As difficult as things may be, we must keep faith that there will be healing. As the saying goes, diamonds are forever -- even when they are hidden from our eyes.      -- Jaye Ann Terry and Margo Hammond    My mother died in Florida on December 18, 2006. R ather than go to her memorial and then come all the way back to Bainbridge Island (Washington State) for Christmas, we decided to stay in Florida and go to Marco Island and spen d the holiday there. So obviously we didn’t have a lot of Christmas presents because we were there for a funeral. So we just all kind of said we love you to each other and had lots of great meals. But before we came home, Bob, my husband,
