The Spirit of My Jewelry

I am passionate about many things. This includes my work - in that through my jewelry our values may be worn and subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) messages can be conveyed. The following quotation keeps me focused and centered... and inspired. It feels right to begin this blog with...

There are people who will try to tell you that love is a luxury and that life in all its miraculous beauty is less urgent right now than the need to retaliate against the forces of evil. I am here to tell you that unless we respond with love, we will certainly hand evil its great and final victory. Go out, right now, and plant yourself in the middle of that which you love most - the thing within you that is most alive. Now listen carefully, because as that love cracks your heart open, it will tell you exactly what this broken world needs from you. This is your holy work, and it cannot wait. Make it big this time. Make it so. ~ Yael Lachman
