A New Kind of Statement Jewelry

May I Introduce…. a designer that YOU need to meet… now! As I was perusing a local artisan bazaar I was lucky enough to meet an amazing new jewelry designer. Her name is Allie M. and she has taken jewelry to a more thoughtful level. Thoughtful? What? Yes, I said thoughtful. Her pieces are gorgeous, but what caught my attention was their cleverness. In each piece that Allie makes, she has a sentiment, a thought or an idea that is prominently displayed. For example, I purchased a charm that I wear daily on my silver bracelet that says, “What you think, you become” and that reminds me of the book/movie “The Secret”. If you haven’t read the book or seen the movie as advertised on Oprah’s show, I highly encourage you to do so. It’s positively the best reminder of how to find your way through life. I try to think where I want to be in life, how I want to treat others, how I see my life progressing but when I forget I can be reminded by my charm. Another necklace that was amazing was the cut-out pendant with the inspirational quote of “Create Happiness”.

Allie M Design’s dedication to creating hand-made pieces for you means that what you wear is a one of a kind inspirational piece. Allie M. pieces are made from recycled silver, copper, and miscellaneous found objects. Her hidden messages are sterling silver or copper discs with a cut-out image on top and a quote hidden on a separate disc underneath the cut-out. Sayings such as “Happily Ever After” or “Be The Change” are two examples. Her “tree” rings and pendants are gorgeous – unique and inspiring without words. Reminds me to keep growing and reaching for my dreams. Want your own, unique necklace? Not a problem. You can easily create your own inspirational pendant and build a necklace that represents you. Choose phrases or ideas and let her know. Easy. Fashionable. Gorgeous. Unique.

Every time I wear my Allie M jewelry people actually stop and ask where they can get one! Her quotes and cut-outs can be custom made, so just let her know what your personal mantra is and she’ll create it for you! What a unique gift for a friend, or a great personal reminder for yourself on important mantras and thoughts. “Be the change you wish to see in the world”, Allie says… and do it fashionably!
