Elephants and Sun-What a perfect pair of earrings

These earrings are the perfect size, length and weight. I love them and they will be worn and cherished. Just a gentle reminder of my mother, who loved elephants. Thank you so much

I have not taken this bracelet off since I received it. I love the sounds the little bell's make, super cute.

one of my favorite rings

Product picture

I cannot say enough good things about this ring. It is definitely a signature ring for me. I own Irish setters and the way the design of this ring curves around in a hug is so meaningful to me. My dogs sometimes wrap their paws around my wrist in this same manner....so symbolic to me. I also love the sparkly clean silver design.
