Entwined Love Ring



“Sweet, so would I,
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow”

Juliet spoke such beautiful words to Romeo in the epic story of their forbidden love.
When Shakespeare composed this masterpiece, I wonder if he ever knew it would be a timeless piece of literature for all of eternity. I also wonder if he knew that the tale of star-crossed lovers would inspire me to make the Star crossed Entwined Love Ring.

It is evident that there is a buoyant spirit of youth in every line of Shakespeare’s, “Romeo and Juliet.” His words are a rapturous intoxication of hope, with a touch of sensual despair. What also a better articulation in describing the Entwined Love Ring, a timeless piece created for all women to harmoniously indulge in. I created the elegant band and added the bold stone to symbolize beauty and subtleness. Like Shakespeare’s legendary play, there is a smidge of sensual despair in this piece. I always say, ‘tis not a successful piece of art unless thus art moves you. The rope band can be worn as a casual every day look but the blue topaz adds a graceful twist for a more sophisticated occasion. Add this dainty ring to your collection and allow it to move you. I also hope that while wearing it, you feel the passion ignite in your soul like the love between Romeo and Juliet.

And so, I leave you with these words spoken by Juliet upon her first meeting with her Romeo: “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep.” Join me as I indulge in Shakespeare. Indulge in elegance. Indulge in James and Lily Jewelry.

The Sky is the limit!


"The stars are the jewels of the night,
and perchance surpass anything which day has to show."
- Henry David Thoreau

The brilliant Henry David Thoreau wrote such an epic statement in “Night and Moonlight”. He also stated that, “Nevertheless, even by night the sky is blue, and not black; for we see through the shadow of the earth into the distant atmosphere of day, where the sunbeams are reveling.” At the time, Henry had no idea that he was referring to the sky collection created by James and Lily Jewelry. Not only was he a prolific author and poet of his time, but he apparently also had a dash of ESP. It was so sweet of him to mention the collection. 


The sky collection was created for my fellow dreamers out there. Whimsical, serene, chic, and soulful are words that describe these beautiful pieces. I’ve always lived life without limits and hope that this collection inspires others to do just the same. As an artist and a dreamer, lots of heart and soul spilled onto each of these hand crafted pieces. When wearing the sky earrings, the light catches the dangling beauties in a way that seems angelic. They bathe in glimmer and dazzle no matter where you wear them. That’s particularly what I love about this collection. You can wear them for any occasion. 

When I created the sky bracelet, I imagine a woman wearing it not only because it makes her feel breathtakingly wonderful, but, because she can look down and use it as a compass in life and as a tender reminder to never give up hope. After all, the sky is the limit and you were made to do amazing things. My desire for you is to be fearless throughout life. And I only hope that you feel fearless while wearing the sky collection. Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land amongst the stars…and some really fabulous jewelry.
