Our everyday lives are changing as we enter unchartered territory with COVID-19. Temperature checks, wearing masks, social distancing, hand sanitizer and frequent hand washing are our daily rituals. How long will it last? No one knows. For many this uncertainty adds anxiety to their already overloaded day. Rather than focusing on the negatives, use a piece of jewelry to remain positive and focused. You are probably wondering how a piece of jewelry will help you accomplish this, right?

Your homework is to look in your jewelry box and find the one piece of jewelry that centers you. Makes you feel like a women warrior. What piece of jewelry makes you feel invincible? Ready to tackle any challenges. If you do not have jewelry that makes you feel this way, then we need to talk.  Every woman needs that one ring, bracelet, necklace, pendant or pair of earrings that makes her feel empowered.

As a Master Jeweler, I create hand-made, one-of-a kind jewelry pieces to match your vibe and personality. Visit jennybutterfield.com to purchase one of my jewelry pieces or we can customize and create something for you. Send me your jewelry ideas via email to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.

With online meetings being the new normal for a while, how you look from the shoulders up is extremely important. Add a little pizazz to your professional or causal look by adding jewelry pieces to your hairdo. This might sound a little crazy, I know… but this is a win-win because you get to clean out your jewelry box and showcase necklaces, broches, and rings you haven’t worn for a while.

If you’re feeling really crafty, break out the hot glue gun and bedazzle a scrunchie, barrette, bobby pin, hairclip, headwrap, or headband. Just remember to let the glue cool before inserting your bedazzled creation into your hair.

If adding jewelry to your hair isn’t your thing, I can always take your old jewelry pieces and turn them into a one-of-a-kind, handmade fine jewelry piece(s). Take a look at some of the custom pieces I’ve created.  Please share your jewelry pictures, questions, comments and stories by emailing them to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.

Ever feel like a glitch magnet or perhaps Murphy’s Law was written specifically because of you? I’m happy to let you know that history is filled with glitch magnets like us. To help people erase bad luck, amulets were designed in different shapes and from various materials. Each one designed to work against the forces of evil, illness, and curses.

I found turtle amulets to be particularly intriguing. Did you realize a turtle only walks forward and onward, never looking or moving backward? This is why the turtle represents longevity and prosperity. Legend has it the wearer of a turtle amulet will erase bad luck and gain victory. Sign me up!

If you are interested in a turtle amulet or another piece of completely custom jewelry, take a look at some of my one-of-a kind, handmade fine jewelry pieces. I routinely work with clients via phone and email to create special, from-scratch, one-of-a-kind, handmade fine jewelry pieces.

As people make their way back to the office, the struggle of what to wear begins. Unfortunately, it is time to trade in the pajama or yoga pants for dress slacks, a dress, or a skirt. The real fun begins when accessorizing your outfit with jewelry. Should you keep it subtle with studded earrings or make a statement with a Chime or Pendant necklace? Here are a few jewelry etiquette tips to keep you looking fierce and fabulous as you venture outside your home.

1. Professional Occasions are perfect for a gemstone pendant paired with a blouse and blazer. For office dresses and blouses, a sleek metal bracelet will keep you from clinking and clanking while you type. Stud earrings are perfect for any office attire and they add a hint of subtle shine.
2. Party Occasions are great for a thick statement necklace. A chunky bangle with a simple ring of the same color scheme will help you catch people’s eyes. Break out your little black dress and pair it with colored gemstone earrings.
3. Casual Occasions give you the opportunity to layer 2-3 chains and pendant necklaces at various lengths. Put rings on a few fingers to feel especially chic. Thin gold, white gold and rose gold rings look amazing. Can’t go wrong with gemstone stud earrings. They will keep your outfit on-trend.

Remember you are fierce and fabulous no matter what you wear. Should you need some indestructible jewelry, please take a look at the jewelry pieces offered by Jenny Butterfield. All jewelry pieces are hand made to order unless it is marked “Ready to Ship.” If you have a jewelry story or question, please send them to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.

While travel restrictions are still in place, that doesn’t mean we can’t dream or relive exotic adventures. Perhaps your jewelry box is filled with unique pieces of jewelry brought home as souvenirs. Or maybe you have unique jewelry pieces from destinations you hope to visit one day. Either way, transport yourself by wearing these wonderful pieces of jewelry.

During your reminiscing, if you find beads, coins, stones, shells, charms or pictures let me know. As a Master Jeweler, I can transform and incorporate them into a unique bracelet, necklace, earrings, or ring. Durable enough to be worn while playing with the kids and elegant enough to be worn at the office. I’m ready to make jewelry that’s worthy of you. Are you ready?

When you see someone wearing a piece of jewelry in the shape of or with a heart, what pops into your mind? Perhaps it depends upon whether the heart is on a bracelet, necklace, pendant, charm, earrings, or a ring. Also, is the heart open, intertwined, or a half-heart. In my mind, I’m saying “Awww”, whenever I see heart shaped jewelry.

Can you tell I really like jewelry with hearts? Heart jewelry is extremely dynamic because it often has a story that symbolizes the trials and experiences of life.  From the pleasure of love to the pain of losing someone close. It has been said when you give a pendant, earrings, charm, ring, or another piece of jewelry featuring a heart, you’re giving away more than just a piece of jewelry. You’re also giving away a piece of your heart to someone you truly love and cherish. 

Do you love seeing and wearing heart jewelry too? Check out my latest heart inspired jewelry collection “All Hearts”.  Have a jewelry story to share or a jewelry question, email them to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.
