Georgia on My Mind

"Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through. Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind." Who doesn't love a good Ray Charles song? His bluesy lyrics and catchy melodies can make you want to dance, sing and sip on a good glass of iced tea! Am I right? 

Georgia is known for many wonderful things: peaches, pie and college football. I have no doubt that there are many more "peachy" things about the state but most of all when we think of Georgia we think of the South. Sitting on a front porch watching the neighbors walk by while a cool breeze makes the branches sway. It's a lovely thing indeed.

In honor of Georgia and all things Southern I made the Georgia State Pendant! If you are from this great state you owe it to yourself to hop on over to our Etsy shop and order yours today!

The Buckeye Necklace

In honor of my home state, Ohio I decided to make the Buckeye Pendant for all my fellow Ohioans! I don't live in Ohio any longer (I'm currently living the dream in New York City) but, every time I go home to visit family and friends I am welcomed back by a familiarity and nostalgia that only your hometown can bring you. Like walking down the street where you went to school many years ago or eating at your favorite restaurant as a kid or seeing a movie at the old theater. It just makes you feel good. After all, there is no place like home. So, to all my fellow Buckeyes hop on over to our Etsy shop, pick up the Buckeye Pendant and show your Ohio State pride today!

The Rainy Day Pendant

There is something about a rainy day that makes you want to stay in your pajamas, turn on a movie and order take out. Anytime we have a rainy day and I have nothing to do, I take full advantage of the opportunity! It doesn't happen very often as we all stay so busy but, it sure is a treat when it does. 

Another thing I love about the rain and the rainstorm that comes along with it is the clear blue skies and bright sun that come out after the storm passes and in a sense give you a "fresh start". It's days like this that we should cherish. The same is true in life, every once in a while we have a rainstorm or a bad day but, we just have to remember that the sunshine and a new day is right around the corner. I like to think of the Rainy Day pendant as a fun and whimsical way to remind us that after the rain comes the sun and a new beginning!

Lone Star State of Mind

Howdy Y'all! 

The Lone Star Pendant is one of my favorite pieces in the collection! It was inspired by a two fabulous ladies (both from Texas) that I have become the best of friends with while living in NYC! Ashlea and Annie are proud Texans and great James and Lily Jewelry supporters so when creating all the pieces for my debut collection I thought it was only fitting to create a piece that represents two very important ladies in my life. I think that is one of the things I love so much about this collection is that I have a personal connection and tie to every piece. It is my dream to create jewelry that people feel fondly about. Here are a few pics of my Texas gals wearing the Lone Star Pendant! Also, please send in your fan pics of you wearing your favorite James and Lily piece! We will start posting them on our blog and Facebook pages! Enjoy!
