Jewelry adornment is deeply encoded in our DNA…it is a gift handed down from the intelligence, skills, and rich emotional lives of our most ancient ancestors.

The macabrely decorated skeletons and skulls of Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos aren’t to scare, but to remind us to celebrate the present.  Families meet at ancestral gravesites for a party creating offerings of honor, clean their graves and picnic to tell stories about the departed.  It is a very human ability to transform our life into emotions.  Tell the stories about your jewelry.  In this way, regular jewelry transforms into “family jewels,” and a jewelry box becomes a treasure chest of the most meaningful kind.
