1978 Passion

Karen and I just returned from what was a fun experience at my 30th year High School reunion back in St. Louis, Missouri.   What a time cathing up with many former long time friends.  It's was 10 years ago when many of us saw each other and how so many of our lives have changed.  Many have young families and many have children that are almost through college. We saw photos of who we were and what we looked like then and I am sure many of us were thinking what our goals were going to be back then.  Some of us had grand ideas after going to college and some had just grand ideas.  I wanted to be an engineer eventually moving into the sales direction selling packaging.  It was not shortly after 10 years of sales and a quick fight with cancer, one year after Karen and I married did I realize that life can be short.  I returned to the reunion hoping to see special friends that I grew up with only to find out some had passed away so young.  It only now reinforces my belief that life is short and do what you want to do.  In the past years in the many fine art shows and this weekend we told people what we do for a living. We're jewelry artists. And we have a passion for what we do.  Many of you have either seen us at shows or seen us wearing our jewelry and ask where do you come up with the ideas?  I guess I can only say is when you have a passion for something, you become involved with it and believe in it and allow your imagination to assist you in the creation.  As a Barbershop singer of 26 years I fully believe if you don't believe in what you are singing it will show.  Karen and I are both blessed to have the opportunity to create jewelry that truly are one of a kind plus design pieces that make people happy. I listened to many of my long time friends who told me what they do for a living and many truly have a wonderful passion for what they are doing.  Many teaching in grade school and many participating in sports events with their children. So I guess I would have to say when you see our jewelry, we imagine it, we design it, we blieve in it because, it's our passion. It's the passion I have always had ever since 1978.

Breast Cancer Jewelry

This is one of our most exciting pendants.  Back in 2007 Karen was watching the Oprah show when she noticed one of her guests wearing one of our custom designed earrings.  We knew it was ours because the stone was too original.  So we took photos of the guest on the TV.  During our show at the Chicago One of a Kind in December we began promoting the photo when most of our customers said this was Mrs. Mayor Daley.  Eventually it turned out it was not.  But in the mean time, many people said they had trouble recognizing her because she was supposedly recovering from breast cancer.  Then one of our customers picked out our Rose Pink Infinity pendant and said we should begin promoting this pendant as the Breast Cancer Awareness Pendant.  The rest is history.  Since January we have been making contributions to the Suncoast Susan G. Komen Foundation here in Florida.  Our pendant was so unusual, CBS in Tampa featured us on their Friends and Family 10th of the month Breast Cancer Awareness.  Like many people, we too have lost friends to cancer and have had friends affected by Breast Cancer.   Like our jewelry, we have made our Rose Infinity Pendant a part of our passion to help race for the cure.  It's just our way of getting people involved.  If someone wears it, the get attention which just helps spread the word.  The Rose Infinity makes a great gift for a family member or friends.
