The first prize in our 2016 #12DaysofSheSpeaks giveaways will make you sparkle.
Although it is valued between $1,030 and $1,200, depending which gemstone you select, this special piece of jewelry should not just live in the jewelry box, only to be brought out for the rare wedding.
According to Jewelry Trends, this year, luxury pendants should not be saved for special occasions. She says, "There is no need to live according to the rule 'This is too beautiful and expensive to put it on today'. Our life is an opportunity – an opportunity to be trendy here and now."
The lines are blurring between the formal and the casual, so make sure you pick something you love and show it off - all day long!
The Timeless Fine Jewelry My Story Collection is a perfect example of how home and work can easily mix. It was started by Timeless Fine Jewelry co-owner Jackie Cohen. She wanted something she could wear every day to honor her adopted daughter, Julia. So she designed a ring that would always remind her of how lucky she is to be a mom. That's when she realized that everyone has their own story to tell, and the My Story Collection was born. Read more about Jackie and Julia here.
