Recently, we received a handwritten note from one of our customers, a thank you note. This one, though, was not just a "high five" for providing her with a jewel she'd coveted. Far more poignantly, this note filled us in on the details of a story that touches us deeply.
Some time ago, this customer purchased a pair of my earrings for her wedding. She wore them for many years and loved them, but also considered them gifts she held in safe keeping, for a future daughter or daughter-in-law to wear in her own wedding festivities, sometime off in the future. That was the plan, until they were stolen in a home invasion.
The beauty of artisanal jewelry design is our agility. It was in that spirit, and in hopes that we could pick up the pieces of the story, that we were able to have a pair of her earrings specially made, even despite their being part of a collection in the archives. All in a day's work? Maybe. Until we received this sweet note of thanks and learned that these weren't just earrings. Having them back after such a trying time, our customer wrote, "makes her feel more herself".

That's the Feel Beautiful message, in real life!
We put beautiful jewels out into the world, and that's our way of connecting with you. But it occurs to us (thanks to this amazing expression of gratitude), that we may owe you a little bit more. So:
THANK YOU!
For Wearing the Jewels we Invest with So Much Love
For Coming When We Call, for Sharing our Occasions
and
For Voting!
Thank you!
Feel beautiful!

“In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.”
