Personalize Your Gift

Hello Jewelry Lovers!

We are in the midst of adding more elements to J&L jewelry gift giving. Nowadays it's just easier to order everything online. But wouldn't it be great if Amazon added a more of a personal touch to your gift? I recently received a present from Amazon and I didn't even know who it was from! So, we've decided to make it easy and include gift wrap, a card and maybe an extra little something to complete your perfect gift.

Look for our new and improved Gift Set section on jamesandlilygifts.com ! COMING SOON !

In the meantime, here is a closer look at one of our greeting cards that you can include with your purchase. We'll send it to your loved one with your personal message that we will hand write in superb artist handwriting.

Just because...

I was recently the recipient of a stunning James & Lily custom ring.  No, the piece was not a Valentine's Day gift.  Instead, it was simply a gift of love from my incredibly amazing husband.  I am one lucky girl!    

Ever since I can remember, I have had a love affair with sapphires.  It is my birthstone, the first gift my husband ever gave me, and it is just a gorgeous gemstone.  You can only imagine my surprise and total delight when I unwrapped my James & Lily box to find this breathtaking 2 ct. oval sapphire set in a diamond halo and a triple diamond shank. 

James & Lily worked with my husband to design the ring, choose the sapphire, and even was kind enough to send pictures and invite him to view the ring during the entire production process.  Now that is collaboration!  Below are some really neat images of the piece during the production process!

He went with the bottom Sapphire!

The diamonds have been set!

The ring is absolutely perfect.   It is my first piece of custom jewelry, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic with how it turned out!  A huge thanks to Kelly, and my husband, for making this incredible piece of jewelry!  

Contact James and Lily today for your very own piece of custom jewelry!

Inspiration Destination

Hello fellow Jewelry lovers!

During this cold winter season, I end up spending more time inside than out. Which leaves time for two things...

                     1 - Dreaming about (and hopefully planning) travel                                        destinations
                                                          and
                     2 - Redecorating my apartment


I spend a lot of time browsing through Refinery29's style blogs, and they always seem to have exactly what I am looking for.


Check out this list of travel destinations that "should be on your bucket-list" ...

My parents went to Myanmar last summer and said they loved it! ...I'm very jealous, but also proud of them for continuing to travel in their old age. They're living proof that it's never too late to cross something off your bucket-list!


I keep scrolling through articles and I've stumbled across "How to make your place look AWESOME!" -- How perfect!

I always say that I'll just DIY a new bench from Ikea, but I never do. Do you? I'll have to start slower, like adding more accents to my place, i.e. bathroom plants! YES!


Thanks for reading! Stay tuned..

Love,
Lily
