I love hearing the meaning and stories behind people’s jewelry collections. Here is my first installment of #mycharmstories , where I share my sentimental charms and the stories behind them. Some might be a lucky find, some are custom and some represent events or people. Each one is a page from the book of my journey through life. Some pages are joyful, some are sad and some are just the best kind of ordinary. I will tag each maker on their respective charms - as many are custom or antique. I would love for you to join in and tell your own stories! If you do , please use the hashtag above (and your fav photo/video format) and I’ll share. We could all use some warm fuzzies in 2026. Let me know if you plan on participating in the comments!

I haven’t taken a photo of my whole charm collection in a long time- because it is quite time consuming and everything is organized in velvet boxes. I love looking back at my old photos and my daughter offered to help me- so here it is! 2026 charm collection; slowly and thoughtfully collected over 25+ years. I’ve added and taken away pieces as I’ve found my own personal style every year. I started adding to this on my own in college by saving my pennies and finding vintage pieces. A few of these are heirlooms, many are gifts from my husband (all the way back to High School). Some are custom, many are antique and vintage. None are sponsored. There are lots of independent jewelers represented - many of whom I’ve come to call friends. Collecting for me is an ever-evolving, always personal and long process. Some years I only added one, some I added more . I hope you enjoy my collection and I’d love to hear what your favorites are in the comments! I hope it also reminds you that good things take time and the journey is the best part of the process. (None of these are fs)

moved all of my medallions (big and small) onto my charm bracelet for some maximalist jingle jangle. I bought it during the sale (thats currently running, link in stories) 2 years ago and since then its chaaaanged the game for how i wear and play with my jewelry.

Working on a quick video going over some Q’s I get about mine with my review on it from 2 years of being used/loved to death. But until then! it’s circle city over here…

Saturday charm capsule ! Today’s collection is centered around my new pizza slice from @goldendreamjewels that features the birthstones of my family! Such a great custom process. I added some periwinkle and pink tones plus a vintage L (both my kids are L names). I’m so lucky our birthstones look good together- cotton candy unicorn vibes. Happy weekend everyone!
