Token jewelry by Julie Lamb NY. A fond reminiscence transformed into beautiful gold and diamond jewels.

There are a myriad of benefits to wearing jewelry. Allowing us to express ourselves, it tells a story. It transports us to our fond memories, connecting us to loved ones. And we can’t forget the health benefits. Jewelry empowers us and makes us feel happy. And happy is healthy. What does jewelry mean to you?
