Spring Awakening Jewlery - Rose Quartz, Rhodochrosite, Ruby in Zoisite Necklaces, Earrings, Pendants and Rings

There’s something special about this time of year—the space between winter’s quiet stillness and the full bloom of spring. The air shifts, the light feels warmer, and you can feel the world awakening around you.

For me, that sense of new beginnings is exactly what inspired the Spring Awakening jewelry collection.

Spring Awakening is about the quiet, slow renewal that happens after a season of stillness, and even struggle. It’s about growth that takes its own time, and how beauty often comes after moments of uncertainty.

And maybe that’s why this collection felt personal.

A Life-Changing Moment
On April 1st, (just a few days ago) I turned 57.

That morning, I sat in the same spot I did 11 years ago—our now living room, flooded with light from the windows that made me fall in love with this house.

Back then, we were in the thick of house hunting after moving back to Baton Rouge from New York City. It had been months of searching, and we finally found the one.

The next morning, we received the call. Our offer had been accepted! Just hours later, we walked into my breast surgeon's office for the results of what we thought had been a routine biopsy.

Just a 1% chance it was cancer.

I was the 1%.

Still My Favorite Spot 11 Years Later
Shop Meaningful Jewelry
A few days later, on April 1st, I sat in that living room as the home inspector walked through. Boxes hadn’t been packed. Surgeries hadn’t yet been scheduled. But even in the uncertainty, I knew in my gut—we were supposed to be here. This house would hold us through everything to come.

And it did.

A Journey of Healing
That April day marked the beginning of one of the hardest, most transformative seasons of my life. Treatments. Healing. Rebuilding. And eventually, creating again. This house became a place of refuge and renewal.

This April 1st, my birthday, sitting in the same room 11 years later, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. For the light that still pours in through those windows. For everything this home has witnessed.
Spring Awakening – A Celebration of Growth
I’ve come to realize that life’s curveballs often lead us exactly where we are meant to be.

That’s what the Spring Awakening jewelry collection means to me. And maybe it means something like that to you, too.

Each piece in this collection carries its own symbolism of awakening, healing, and the beauty of new beginnings:

  • Rhodochrosite, with its glowing pink tones, opens the heart to joy, love, and emotional healing.
  • Rose Quartz brings softness and calm, like sunlight on your skin after a long winter.
  • Ruby in Zoisite radiates vitality, like spring flowers bursting through stone.
  • Raw Ruby is a reminder that, even after life’s trials, your inner fire still burns bright.
