The Joy of Dressing Up
I ran into a friend at my wellness club the other day. We usually see each other in our go-to athleisure—leggings, sneakers, hair in a topknot. But this time, she looked different. Elevated. Effortless. She had just come from a breakfast meeting, dressed in a way that made me do a double take.
And then I saw them—her earrings. Simple yet striking drop earrings, Colombian emeralds glowing set in a yellow gold bezel. I had to say something. They caught the light, and they caught my attention.
That small compliment turned into a conversation. She admitted that accessorizing wasn’t always her thing, but wearing these earrings made her feel different. And she liked that feeling.
It made me pause. In the rush of our days—hopping from meetings to workouts to school drop-offs—so many of us default to the reliable classic: the diamond stud. She’s the minimal girl’s signature move. Elegant. Safe. Quietly powerful.
But in our pursuit of simplicity, do we sometimes strip away the fun? The beauty? The part of us that wants to play?
That very tension—between ease and expression—is what inspired the collection ONE. Designed for the minimal woman on the move, these pieces are the little black dress of jewelry. Made to move effortlessly from morning to night, from desk to dinner. They dress up or down depending on how you wear them, and they were created to replace the diamond stud—to become your new everyday signature, but with more color, more soul, more life.
Jewelry, like fashion, has a quiet power. A single shift—a pop of gold, a glint of stone—can change how we carry ourselves. It can remind us of who we are beneath the routines.
And don’t get me wrong—I love routine. I love safety. I believe in “less is more.” But when does less become lifeless?
The ONE collection is about reclaiming that spark without giving up simplicity. It’s about having a go-to that still surprises you. That makes you feel just a little more alive—even on the most ordinary days.
