I’m a sentimental person by nature.  Whether it’s cards, letters or even movie stubs, I save everything with a special memory attached.  I’m especially connected to clothing and jewelry (no surprise there).  With Marie Kondo’s Netflix show sweeping the nation, the question of whether something sparks joy is pretty laughable when it comes to my closet and jewelry box.

No occasion has made me more sentimental than the birth of our daughter.  When she came into our lives I collected anything that bore her resemblance – initial necklaces, t-shirts, you name it, I bought it.  While I love all of the ready-made pieces I acquired, I knew nothing would come close to something created specifically in her image.  A custom piece was essential.

When it comes to capturing sentimental moments in gorgeous packages, I knew I had to contact Marrow Fine.  You may remember Jillian from our Vogue-style Q&A interview and the gorgeous Montana sunstone ring she created with my grandmother’s diamond.

Beyond her stunning rings, she also has a full line of necklaces, earrings and bracelets.  I’d been wanting to add a necklace to my collection and her disco diamond pendant was the perfect fit.  To personalize it, she created a mold of my daughter’s footprint and cast it inside the disc.  I’m so happy with the way it turned out and have been layering it and wearing it solo almost every day since I got it.

For someone who places a ton of emotion into clothing and accessories, this piece is truly like wearing my heart on my sleeve.  I’ve been doing that since the day my daughter was born, and this just makes it all the more special.  I can’t wait to pass this down to her someday.

Jillian engraved my daughter’s moniker on the back side of the pendant.  It’s so dainty.  It almost feels like a secret feature.  I love that I can switch it up and wear it either way depending on my mood.

Jewelry is already so personal, but this pendant truly is one of a kind.
