I live in Catskill, New York with my husband and daughter.  A few years ago, I was introduced to permanent jewelry.  I was at a local sangria festival celebrating my cousin’s bachelorette party with a big, lively group of about 15 of us.  As we wandered through the festival, we came across a charming little booth where two girls were offering permanent jewelry.   

I had never seen or even heard of anything like it before, but the idea instantly captivated me.  One by one, almost all of us decided to get something- each piece a little sparkling memory of that special day. What touched me the most was when the bride-to-be, her mother, and her daughter all chose the same delicate chain to create matching bracelets and anklets.  It was such a beautiful symbol of their bond, a little piece of jewelry that would always remind them of this moment in time.  Seeing how much meaning and sentiment could be woven into something so simple yet so lasting made a deep impression on me.  I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and from that moment on, my love for permanent jewelry only grew stronger.
