The necklace I purchased over a decade ago
With my first paycheck deposited in the bank, I stared at the ripped magazine page, creases from being folded stored for future reference. I picked up the phone, dialed the New York phone number listed on the magazine page, and placed an order for the 14K gold chain necklace spaced with turquoise beads.
The price tag was a bit of a splurge for a dainty necklace, but I landed my first job in the Hollywood television industry and I wanted to mark the occasion. That was a decade ago and since then, I’ve collected fine jewelry pieces, some I buy while traveling, others have been gifts for an anniversary or birthday celebration from my husband, my best friend gave me pearls for a past birthday, and my parents who enjoy passing down family heirlooms or marking celebrations in life.
I curated a few of my favorite pieces from American Diamonds Jewelry perfect to mark special occasions, gifts for loved ones, and even yourself – because why not? Monthly payment plans are available and free shipping on all orders and veterans receive an extra 10% off.

Such a great idea. All classic pieces you can wear forever.
There are some really beautiful pieces right there! Love a couple of the rings.
I have to admit it was so fun to look for these pieces, it almost felt like I was buying them for myself! I love the criss cross ring so much!
