My time in New York is always a whirlwind.  Every minute counts.  Life is too short to spend time on something you are not proud of, and yet I feel like I am running out of time.  There is so much I want to create, I wonder how I will accomplish it all.  I might not accomplish all I hope to, but know there is more.  There is always more.

This NY recap post of collages is dedicated to my friends, new and old.  Thank you for your friendship and support, it means the world to me!  The collages were created with images that were shot on our individual iPhones during the JA Show in the New Designer Gallery, and as you'll notice, there were some favorite pieces in my collection captured multiple times.  

I also held a Legacy contest in association with my debuting showcase, which Hannah Becker of Diamondoodles won!  I am currently creating her Legacy piece, I can't wait to reveal it to you. 

Links to the image sources will be found on my Instagram profile.  If I left you out, it was not my intention, I tried to find all images with the use of hashtags.

ALEXIS KLETJIAN PLATINUM AND RUBY CHARM

Ruby is my birthstone.  A July baby who is just now, at the ripe age of 40, beginning to love her birth assigned stone.  Ruby also happens to be the birthstone of my lovely friend Jenni, who created this beautiful layout for the Platinum Guild.  I was so touched she included her very own charm, it makes this month's feature even more special to me.  What you cannot see is the special date engraved on the backside, only that is for Jenni, as she wears it close to her heart.

Here is a real-life image of the charm, styled.  The rubies are much more vibrant in real life, and I adore how she has paired these charms together.  Incredibly honored to be part of her jewelry story.

ALEXIS KLETJIAN LUCKY STAR RING IN ROSE GOLD

On the anniversary of Lucky Star, I am honored to share another legacy story with you.  

Lauren was the first legacy winner, and although she knew she would choose a design from the Lucky Star collection, she patiently waited to be the first to preview the new designs for her finial decision.  Ultimately, Lauren chose my classic vintage-inspired Lucky Star ring in rose gold and brilliant diamonds to represent her family, and their connection to stars. 

In her own words, I will let Lauren share her legacy story with you...

I thank my lucky stars...
