I Launched a Jewelry Brand!!

14 Nov

I’ve been a busy bee for the last 8 months watching my vision come to fruition and starting a jewelry business from the ground up! My website Love and gold Jewelry launched August 1st and I’m beyond grateful for the warm welcome as I step into the world of Demi- Fine jewelry. If you’ve been following my blog, then you already know I’m an avid jewelry collector. I have solid gold to costume jewelry and everything in between, so when brainstorming my brand I knew I wanted to provide quality jewelry AND fair prices, which is why I chose to only use gold filled and sterling silver. Demi-Fine jewelry is the sweet spot where quality and affordability marry.

What is gold filled jewelry? Gold filled consists of a thick layer of gold (we use 14k and 18k gold )that has been bonded through heat to a core metal (we use jewelers brass). Think of it like an ice cream sandwich- with ice cream in the middle being the brass and the cookie on both sides being the gold. Gold filled jewelry is great for sensitive skin. With its thick, resilient outer layer of gold, it ensures that your skin is only exposed to actual gold. With a little care, gold filled jewelry can last many years. It’s an amazing alternative to solid gold. It looks like gold, wears like gold, is hypoallergenic like gold, without the price tag of gold

From the designs, to the packaging, to partnering with skilled artisans and manufacturers to creating a website ( which was really HARD) I’ve poured my heart along with some sweat and tears into this brand and am thrilled with the outcome and how it’s been received as well. I also wanted to give a special thanks to everyone who has supported my new business whether it be following Love and Gold on social media and liking or commenting on my posts, to sharing my brand with your friends, to making a purchase and second and third purchases. It all is greatly appreciated as you are literally supporting my dreams.

With over 50 beautiful styles to choose from, Love and Gold jewelry has something for everyone. Check out my website to see what I’ve been up to 🙂 and be sure to Follow love and Gold on Instagram to stay in the loop. We’re also on Tiktok and Facebook @loveandgoldjewelry

Affordable Luxury. Fine jewelry that you can afford!

23 Jul

When shopping for jewelry, two things catch my eye before anything else. Quality and price. Some quality pieces are unattainable, while some affordable pieces are lacking in quality. I’m so excited to share a jewelry company that offers affordable luxury. YES, you read that right. Ethically sourced gold, diamond and pearl jewelry that is fairly priced. Let me introduce you to AUrate .AUrate necklace

I have yet to see a company this transparent when it comes to pricing and the designs are so beautiful, you’re going to want everything.  If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know dainty jewelry is my thing.  The AUrate website is dainty jewelry heaven.  As if that wasn’t enough, with every purchase, AUrate donates a book to a child in need.

Rocksbox ROCKS!!!!

3 Jun

I am obsessed with Rocksbox!!!!!!  I have signed up with plenty of subscriptions boxes, and this is by far my favorite!  Rocksbox is a monthly jewelry subscription box that arrives in your mailbox each month and has hand picked (by a stylist) pieces chosen to fit your tastes. When you sign up there is a questionnaire where you choose all the styles that you love and from there, they make specific boxes just for you! The cool thing about Rocksbox is that it’s a loan box, so if you happen to not like something, you can just send it back for a different piece. Think of it as the Netflix of jewelry- you can keep your pieces as long or a little as you’d like and once you send them back, you get new pieces!!! All for only $19 with a $10 credit going toward the purchase of any pieces that you can’t live without. Each box includes three pieces (necklace,earrings,ring etc.) and if you fall in love with any of them you CAN purchase them after the $10 is applied. My first box arrived today and I am SO impressed with the pieces, they are all MY STYLE! I’ve got to be honest, I had no idea just how accurate the styles would be, but I am blown away….these are all pieces I would buy! I look forward to my next box, but I don’t want to send these pieces back anytime soon!!!! The struggle is real! I want to keep everything!

To learn more about Rocksbox click HERE. If you’ve decide that you want to give it a try- the first month is FREE with my the code JOURNEYBFF.

Industrial chic Just got Better!

22 Apr

If you follow me on any social media platform, it is no secret that I have a small obsession with Giles & Brother railroad spike bracelets.  I have so many styles of jewelry that I wear from dainty to colorful to bold, but my all time love would be modern/minimal pieces.  The Giles & Brother railroad spikes are super minimal with a bit of edge. The railroad spikes come in three sizes Original(thick) Skinny(medium)and Mini(thin) my preference has always been the “skinny”size  but I recently ordered the mini and I love it, it’s super dainty and delicate. How could these bracelets possibly get any better you ask???? Well, they are now available in precious metals!!! YES!!!!  If you’re a jewelry connoisseur you can rock a SOLID GOLD G&B bracelet!!!  These bracelets are also unisex which is very cool!

G&B bracelets are available in different finishes including brass, hematite, yellow gold tone, rose gold tone and silver tone. Sterling silver is also an option and solid gold(rose & yellow).
