What I Packed For A Family Trip To Miami & More
For our family Spring Break trip this year, we went to Miami. I had visited for work in January and loved the vibe, the food, and the weather. We were originally booked at the Andaz (where I stayed in January and would highly recommend!), but due to some weather-related travel issues, we had to move our dates back a few days and switch hotels. We ended up at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach (so thankful they fall under Marriott points!) and we had such a great time.
Ann's Jewelry Box: Guide to Building a Lifetime of Jewelry
A jewelry collection is something a woman builds her whole life, carries with her, and eventually turns into a part of her signature style and legacy. Whether it’s an inherited heirloom from a mother or grandmother, a special design purchased for herself, a childhood cross necklace, or a high school class ring, these pieces hold memories. They signify moments in time and represent the story that her life tells.

Holiday Gift Guides
Today, I’m sharing some exciting gift guides for the holiday season!

Honoring Milestones: Why Commemorative Jewelry Matters
My husband and I just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. This time it was my husband’s turn to open a Yearly Co. box. His original wedding ring was basic and bought online. I always thought it was funny for the husband of a jeweler not to have a ring that was handmade with meaning. I chose solid 14k yellow gold for this new band made in our studio.
