It’s been an incredible year. Many famous people who enlightened our lives with their acting or singing, have left us forever. We saw the craziest of all presidentials campaigns in the U.S. with an even crazier outcome. Just navigating around on the social media platforms might give you the idea that 2016 is a year that needs to be forgotten fast. Of course, this is a sentimental, subjective feeling of some, focussing on all the bad stuff. But it’s been an exciting year for others too. The jewelry world saw its very own highlights and some lowlights. It’s, slowly but very surely,waking up from the past and all professional magazines and sites talk about how retail in jewelry is changing rapidly.

My core belief about jewelry is this: it doesn't matter how expensive or cheap a piece of jewelry is, but what it brings to the owner is all that matters. 

Jewelry becomes, once owned, a very personal thing. It commemorates important moments in life. As a gift perhaps, or maybe it belonged to someone you love and/or miss. It’s a reminder of family and tradition. It may be that you bought it yourself, to congratulate yourself with an achievement, to soothe yourself when in pain, or simply because you are worth it.

Jewelry will always play a huge role in our lives, we don't need it, but when it is there, they become tangible objects of our emotions and memories...
