Hey Yall! This past Sunday, it was a whole family affair at James Avery Artisan Jewelry Event to check out their Valentine's Day new releases. I had my family tag along with me because I wanted them to choose the perfect necklace or bracelet that symbolizes me, a piece of jewelry that came from their hearts that will be a reminder of them every time I wear it.
For the longest time, I never knew James Avery was just a 30 minute drive away from my house! They are located at The Forum, an upscale outdoor European style attached buildings, with many high-end chain stores and boutiques, also restaurants.
The girls and I visited this outdoor shopping plaza a couple of times before but didn't realize James Avery had a store located at The Forum. Now, instead of shopping for James Avery jewelry online, I can stop in to get a closer look at all their timeless pieces. You know how I am, I prefer to touch and see products in person before I buy.
About James Avery Artisan Jewelry

We walked into the packed store, ate light bites the store was serving and checked around to see all their stunning detailed bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings, and such, but it was so hard to choose which would be best for me. Pretty much all fit my style.
Mr. M stopped at a table and pointed out a California shaped charm he wanted me to get. We're both born and raised in California; building roots there. California signifies our love for the Great Golden State, a place we met back in high school and started our lives together. A place we conceived our first born, Lauren.
I also wanted to have the girls pick a charm that makes them think of me. They came across a seashell which epitomizes my love for beaches and collecting seashells on our beach trips.
As you all know, I plan beach trips with my family at the end/beginning of the year of celebrating the year ending and continue on the celebration into the new year. Beaches, to me, it embodies peace, a renewal so to speak. Listening to the soothing waves crashing along the shores helps me to cleanse my mind, body, and soul, taking me into a new year with a clear mind. Plus, our beach trips help us to reconnect and disconnect from all the noise back home.
So, with having two charms chosen by both girls and Mr. M, I needed a bracelet. A bracelet I can continue to add more charms to it, adding more to the story of my life.
Mr. M pointed out a sparkly bracelet to start adding my charms too, and he was quite shocked as to how affordable everything was in the store. With my two handcrafted charms, plus a bracelet, it came up to less than $170! Great deal!
Within two days of purchase, my mini life story was attached to this symbol of love that I'll cherish forever. Soon, I'll keep adding to the story with other charm pieces. And when I'm no longer roaming this earth, the girls will have a unique keepsake to remember me by and they too, can continue to keep adding to my story but with their own.
James Avery is more than jewelry. It's a symbol of faithfulness and the comfort of strongly held beliefs. It's saying I love you every day. James Avery is more than a store; it's your story!

ReplyDeleteI don't think we have a James AVery here in our town but they have some really nice pieces. I like how you picked charms that represent who you are.
