The Ocean, A Mother's Perfume, and Other Things That Inspire Us

Whenever we introduce ourselves, and tell people that we design a handmade jewelry line, the first question that we are asked is; "What inspires you?"

It's hard to answer that question in one sentence, which is usually all a stranger expects, because to be honest, we are inspired by so very many things.

We have always loved the sparkle and clarity of Swarovski Crystals, and prefer the crisp, clean look of sterling silver to most other mediums. To us, the cut and brilliance of an Aquamarine Swarovksi Crystal brings to mind the clear ocean water that we used to enjoy swimming in as children off of the coast of the Florida Keys.

The feminine pink hue of the Light Rose Swarovski Crystals remind us of the innocence and awe that a young girl has on her face, while watching her mother put on her makeup, spritz her perfume, and don her jewelry before heading out the door for a night out.

When we chose the charms for our first collection, we immediately loved the idea of pairing heart locks and keys together, as a dedication to all of the young lovers in the world, who are experiencing their heart being unlocked and open to the bittersweet journey of first love.

Jewelry is more than a fashion accessory. It is a way of expressing your emotions, your style, your status, your creativity, and your love of beautiful things. In short, the one thing that inspires us more than anything else, is you...and all of your emotions that rush through your heart when sliding that last bracelet on before walking out the door.

We would love to know...what inspires you?
