Today we're shining a spotlight on the Aries Zodiac sign. Born between March 21st - April 19th, Aries individuals are known for their vibrant energy and leadership qualities. In this blog, we're taking a closer look at the necklace from our collection that was thoughtfully made to represent the Aries spirit.
A Dive into Aries' Fascinating History
Let's start with a bit of starry-eyed history. The constellation of Aries has roots dating back over 2,500 years to ancient Babylon. In Greek mythology, Aries is linked to the legendary ram of the Golden Fleece, symbolizing great courage in the face of danger and an adventurous spirit. This narrative beautifully echoes the Aries attributes of courage and enthusiasm for new challenges. It's fascinating to note that various cultures worldwide have their own interpretations of Aries, emphasizing the constellation's universal appeal and the timeless stories written in the stars.
The Essence of Aries: Fiery, Bold, and Resolute
According to stories past down through time, Aries are typically bold and take charge, often leading the way. Their pioneering spirit makes them natural leaders. The Aries Zodiac Necklace is a piece of refined, delicate jewelry and a badge of honor for these inherent qualities.
Why the Aries Zodiac Necklace Speaks to You
Crafted with a blend of classic and contemporary design, this necklace celebrates Aries' standout traits. Aries individuals are known for their straightforward nature, protective instincts, and passionate hearts. They're honest, inspiring, and full of life – and this necklace, with its dainty and elegant design, is a reminder of these unique characteristics.
A Thoughtful Token for Aries Individuals
If you're seeking a gift that holds meaning for an Aries friend or are an Aries yourself, this necklace is a perfect choice. Personalized gifts make such an impact to the person you are buying for. Plus, every time they wear it, they will think of you and be reminded of the qualities that make Aries remarkable. Giving them daily inspiration to be their best and support them in all the new adventures they embark on.
We also love how this delicate piece is so easy to layer and stack with your other daily jewelry staples. Personally our recommendation would be to layer the Aries Necklace with a simple chain necklace that’s either 16 inches or 20 inches. That way it will sit above or below the Aries Necklace which is 18 inches.

]]>As a new mom, I’ve been reflecting on what makes life beautiful. What makes someone feel beautiful. What is beauty? It is SO easy to play the comparison game. Especially in a world where you pretty much see the highlight reels of everyones life on social media. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing my friends success and their happy moments captured on camera when I have a moment to scroll a social media feed. But it can be challenging to keep your integrity in on what matters most to you in life.
For me it’s helped to keep in mind that life is ever evolving and everyone is in a different chapter in their story. Right now I’m in the chapter of, maybe I’ll wash my hair, do my make up and wear non-work out clothes once this week …and maybe not, haha. While other moms are in the chapter of doing their make-up everyday and back to having date nights on the regular. Regardless I’m learning that within all these different phases of life, I’m still the creator of my life. I get to be the artist of my day, creating moments that will last forever in the memories with my sweet girl. I’m choosing to say “I’m so thankful that…” instead of “Ugh, I have to do that…”. It’s a minor thing but creates a huge shift in mindset.
So all that to say, whether you wield a paintbrush, sketch with a pencil, shape clay with your hands, or simply dream up your life's masterpiece in your mind, you're an artist. And this fact is not just about creating art in the traditional sense; it's about recognizing that every choice you make, every dream you chase, and every obstacle you overcome is a stroke of paint on the vast canvas of your life. The Artist Collection is a tribute to this universal artistry. It's a collection that doesn't just accessorize your outfit but celebrates your unique creativity and the art of living, from the meals you make, to the way you communicate to others-it’s art.
Now on to the original blogpost about this collection.
A COLLECTION THAT SPEAKS TO YOUR SOUL
Art is not confined to galleries and museums; it's in the air we breathe, the paths we choose, and the expressions of our individuality. The Artist Collection by Katie Dean Jewelry perfectly encapsulates this ethos. Each piece in this collection is a symbol of the artistry that resides within each of us. The Artist Face Necklace, with its abstract design, inspired by the works of Matisse and Picasso will add that creative spark to your layered jewelry look that makes it just as unique as you are.
Being a bit more prominent in size, the Artist Face Studs will showcase the multifaceted nature of your creativity. Put your hair up in a high pony or a low bun when wearing the Artist Face Studs to really show them off. I have a feeling it will be one of your favorite new go-to looks.
If you’re more of a ring enthusiast, the Artist Face Ring is such a great piece to add to your collection. Again, this piece is definitely more substantial than our other pieces that push the limits of minimalism and dainty. I picture this ring doning your finger while wearing a flowy maxi dress walking the beach during sunset or while you wear your espadrille sandals, new wide leg jeans and a loose graphic tee to have coffee with a friend. I love how it offers a daily reminder that beauty and art come from our perceptions and expressions, not what someone tells us or what we see on social media.
WEARABLE ART FOR EVERY ARTIST
What's truly beautiful about the Artist Collection is its versatility. These pieces are designed for every individual, regardless of whether you consider yourself an artist in the traditional sense. They are a celebration of the artist in all of us – those who paint pictures with words, those who sculpt their futures with bold decisions, and those who sketch their dreams with unbridled imagination. I urge you to wear these pieces as emblems of empowerment and creativity, designed to inspire and uplift your everyday.
A CELEBRATION OF EVERYDAY ARTISTRY
The Artist Collection is a reminder that art is not just found in what we create but also in how we live. It's in the way we overcome challenges, how we love, how we give, and how we grow. Wearing a piece from this collection is a statement that you are the artist of your life, painting your journey with bold strokes and bright colors. It's an invitation to see the world as your canvas, to embrace every opportunity as a chance to add beauty and meaning to your masterpiece.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT OF LIFE ARTISTS
By choosing a piece from the Artist Collection, you're not just selecting a piece of jewelry. You're joining a community of life artists who see the world differently. You're embracing a mindset that life, in all its complexity and beauty, is the ultimate art form. So, whether you're adorning yourself with the Artist Face Necklace or the Artist Ring, know that you're celebrating more than just artistic design; you're celebrating the art of being uniquely you.
In a world where we're often told to conform, the Artist Collection stands as a testament to individual expression and creativity. It's a reminder that we are all artists, painting our lives with experiences, dreams, and choices. So, wear these pieces as a badge of honor, a symbol of your unique artistry, and a celebration of the masterpiece that is your life.
Here’s to creating the life you want to live, I wish you nothing but the best journey.
XO, Katie

]]>Diving into the behind-the-scenes magic of our jewelry shoots is always a thrill for me, and today, I'm bringing you right into the heart of it. When we bring our models in, it's not just about styling them with our dainty pieces from the KDJ collection; it's about creating a vibe, a feeling, a connection. It's about seeing our gorgeous pieces come to life on the equally beautiful women wearing them.
In the images throughout this blogpost, you'll see me in my element, tweaking the stacked up rings or earrings ever so slightly, ensuring they are styled perfectly. It's these little adjustments that make all the difference, that turn a simple shot into something captivating. Before starting my jewelry line I had no idea what went into creating product imagery that would inspire someone to not only take a moment to look at the photograph but actually go to the product page to discover more about the piece and ultimately purchase the piece. This is such an art form! My hat goes off to the wardrobe and set stylists of the world. It makes such a difference when someone is putting their creativity into styling the image that will be captured. I believe that is how brands can create such a strong connection with their customers online even if the customer has never before seen the product in real life. Powerful to say the least.
Flatlays are my jam — they're like composing a visual symphony where each piece of jewelry is a note that needs to hit just right. As you can see in the image below, my hands are busy styling our Birthstone Necklaces. And when I say ‘busy’ I mean they are ever so gently adjusting the delicate chains of the necklaces so they sit just right. It’s a delicate process, arranging each piece so they can be captured with perfect lighting all while evoking the essence of our brand: simple, elegant, and effortlessly cool.
I've learned that with dainty jewelry especially, getting the details right within the styling of each image is essential. It's almost painstaking how meticulous and attentive I am to the details of the jewelry, I praise the photographers who have worked with me because lord knows they have to be patient as I go in for the tenth adjustment for one flatlay image. I'm sure other designers are the same and I've learned to embrace it and keep my integrity in when it comes to my creative vision. Anytime I've let something go without changing it to fit my original vision I've regretted it - whether that was during the design process of the piece, the styling of the jewelry in a flatlay or when layering up the jewelry on a model. If it doesn't feel right my advice to any artist or designer is: don't have any regrets or let someone change your mind, take the time to make it right! You are the one leading the charge as the designer.
I like to think that each photo we take tells a story. From the soft focus on our models to the strategic lighting that makes every piece pop and show off the intricate detailing that was designed into it. I try to focus on showcasing the jewelry in its most authentic but best light. So many customers have told me over the years that the jewelry is even more beautiful in person which is soooo sweet and really makes me smile. I've also learned that perfection isn't about the absence of flaws, but the presence of authenticity. We strive for images that resonate, that feel real, that you can see yourself in.
PRO TIP: I've found that creating 'evergreen' content is also key. As a small business, we aim for timeless over trendy, ensuring each image transcends seasons. Like our jewelry, the photos are crafted to be cherished year-round and looked at again and again for inspiration. And as a small business who needs to watch cashflow very closely, creating evergreen content is a way to make your money go a long way. Businesses can drown in bills with marketing expenses, trust me, I've been there and you don't want your business to go under because it can't pay its bills. So be wise and creative with a frugal eye on your spending. It will make a huge difference on your bottom line.
I hope you enjoyed this peek behind the curtain as much as I loved pulling it back. I hope it inspires you to not only layer up some new jewels but also gives you a connection to the brand - there are real people behind KDJ, and each of us wants you to enjoy our content, products and live life to the fullest. So let this be a point of inspiration for you to go out and start your own project, even if it's just for yourself.
Lastly, we'd love to hear from you. What's your favorite piece from the collection these days? Anything you would like us to capture in our future shoots that you haven't seen lately?
Stay golden, stay you.
XOXO, Katie

]]>Personalized Perfection
Have you ever peered into your jewelry box and felt something is missing? That touch of personalization that would finish off your look perfectly? The Initial Collection is your answer. It's a call to infuse your personality into every outfit. Choose an initial ring for understated elegance, or an initial necklace that states, "This is me!" in the daintiest way. Each piece represents a part of your story and we love how they can evoke conversation with a mere stranger at the coffee shop or at a workout class.
The Initial Ring: Elegance at Your Fingertips
Imagine a ring that does more than just stack perfectly with your other everyday rings. The Initial Ring, crafted with 18K gold plating over a brass base featuring a Swarovski Crystal opposite the Initial, is elegance redefined. Perfect for stacking with other beloved rings or as a standalone statement, it's versatile. It’s also adjustable! If you didn’t know, your diet can totally change your rings size. Surprise! When you eat salty foods especially, your fingers will expand from retaining water, kind of like when you wake up and your underage is puffy. But luckily with this ring you just have to gently push up on each side to expand the ring so it sits comfortably on your finger.
The Initial Earring: Your Story, Softly Spoken
Elegance can be bold, or it can be subtle. The Initial Earring, made nickel-free (meaning it is hypoallergenic and safe for almost all sensitive ears!) is a quiet yet potent expression of individuality. Our Initial Studs are intentionally sold individually so you can personalize your pair to represent your first and last initials or your kids! It also makes for a more unique layering look when you pair mixed initials with your other earrings. If you need inspiration, here’s an example: Katie wore the “K” and “J” initial studs for her wedding to represent her name and her husbands name. You can check out this Wedding blog to see pictures from their big day. Needless to say, the Initial Studs are perfect for laid-back weekend outings or your board meetings, they're as adaptable as your life's varied chapters.
The Initial Necklace: Your Personal Style Statement
Anyone else love a necklace they can easily wear everyday? If you’re a creature of habit the Initial Necklace is the ultimate game-changer in your style arsenal. Intentionally designed with a petite initial, this necklace is all about the little details. It’s meant to make people do a double take. It’s also adjustable in length — you can clasp it at 16 inches or 18 inches making it easy to mix it up with a medley of other necklaces for that edgy, 'I just threw this together' look. Don’t be shy of wearing it solo though! It gives off an effortlessly chic vibe all on its own.
Styling Tips for a Personalized Look
Not to sound like a broken record but the Initial Collection really is versatile. We encourage you to get creative and mix and match these pieces with your existing favorites but don’t be afraid to let them stand out on their own. Whether you are at the beach wearing the Initial Ring paired with a breezy summer dress or at an evening dinner with friends wearing the Initial Necklace layered with your favorite chain necklace (may we suggest the Linked Necklace-hint, hint), we know you’ll love these best sellers.
The Art of Gifting
Don’t overthink it! Personalized gifts are always a hit. It really takes your gifting to a new level when the recipients initial is part of the present keeping the sentiment heartfelt without being cheesy. Winning combo if you ask us.

]]>Ah, March, the month where winter starts giving way to spring, and everything feels a bit more hopeful. And if you're a March baby, you're in luck because your birthstone is the gorgeous aquamarine. Not just a pretty color, aquamarine has a history as deep as its oceanic hues.
Aquamarine, named for its sea-water color, is the cool, calming cousin in the gemstone family. It's like that one relative who's always chill and tells the best sea tales. Sailors used to carry aquamarine for good luck and protection at sea. So, wearing it might just be your secret weapon against the stormy seas of life (or just a tough Monday).
Now, let's talk about the real magic: styling this beauty. The March Birthstone Necklace from Katie Dean Jewelry is not just a regular necklace; it's a cool necklace. Its dainty gold chain and sparkling aquamarine crystal are like the jewelry equivalent of a fairy dust sprinkle on your outfit.
Need some inspiration on how to wear your new Birthstone piece? Here are 5 Ways to Rock Your Aquamarine Necklace:
1. Layering Love: Pair it with a choker or a longer pendant necklace for a layered look. It's like a necklace party, and your birthstone is the guest of honor.
2. Casual Cool: For a laid-back vibe, wear it with a simple white tee and your favorite jeans. It's effortlessly chic, like you're not trying too hard (but secretly, you are).
3. Office Chic: Add a touch of elegance to your workwear by pairing it with a classic blouse. It's a subtle way to bring personality to your 9-to-5 wardrobe.
4. Date Night Dazzle: Pair it with a little black dress for an evening look. It's like telling your date, "Yeah, I'm fancy like that."
5. Beachy Vibes: Wear it with your beachwear for a touch of glam by the sea. You'll be like a mermaid, but with better jewelry.
One of our favorite things about the March Birthstone Necklace is that it's a conversation starter, a mood lifter, and a tiny bit of March magic that you can carry with you every day. So, wear it, flaunt it, and let your aquamarine light shine!

]]>In a world where women's achievements and struggles are more visible than ever, Katie Dean Jewelry presents a stunning homage to female empowerment: the Female Symbol Collection. This line is more than just jewelry; it's a statement of unity, strength, and pride.
The History of Women's Rights: A Journey of Empowerment
The history of women's rights is a testament to resilience and determination. A key milestone in this journey was the achievement of women's suffrage, meaning the right to vote in political elections. In the United States, women gained the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 18, 1920.
FYI: Ratification is the official process by which a proposed agreement or treaty is formally approved and adopted. In the context of constitutional amendments, like the 19th Amendment in the United States, ratification is the process by which individual states agree to accept and implement the amendment. This process ensures that changes or additions to a constitution or a significant treaty receive widespread consent before becoming part of the legal framework of a country or organization.
This pivotal moment was the result of decades of activism by courageous women. Throughout the world, the dates of achieving suffrage varied, marking each nation's unique path towards recognizing women’s rights. History on this subject is peppered with numerous fun facts, such as New Zealand being the first self-governing country to grant women the vote in 1893. Ahead of the curve by a long shot, go New Zealand!
Subtle Elegance, Powerful Message
Each piece in the collection – from the elegant necklace to the dainty ring and studs – is designed with the iconic female symbol.

From February 20th - March 20th, it's Pisces season and what a good season it is. The time when those born under the enchanting twelfth sign of the zodiac come into focus. As Katie, a proud Pisces herself, celebrates this mystical period, we invite you to join the journey of understanding this dreamy sign and why the Pisces Zodiac Necklace from Katie Dean Jewelry is the ideal talisman for anyone born under this sign.
The Mystical World of Pisces
Pisces, symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, encapsulates the essence of mystery and emotional depth. This water sign, ruled by Neptune, is synonymous with intuition, creativity, and a deep connection to the spiritual realm. With their birthdates between February 19th and March 20th, Pisces individuals possess an ethereal quality, often finding themselves torn between fantasy and reality. But hey, that’s all hearsay, we know you can be whoever you want to be regardless of your zodiac sign!
Historical and Mythological Roots
Alright, now lets dive deeper into the historical and mythological surroundings for the Pisces sign. It’s said that the Pisces constellation holds significant historical and mythological importance. Originating from Latin for 'fishes', it was recognized in ancient Babylonian astronomy and associated with rivers and the concept of duality. The mythological story often linked to Pisces involves Aphrodite and Eros escaping from the monster Typhon by transforming into fish – a tale that symbolizes the Piscean ability to adapt and find creative escape routes from challenging situations.
Personality Traits: A Blend of Strength and Sensitivity
Pisceans are known for their empathetic, tender, and idealistic nature. They often exhibit a strong moral compass and a unique blend of intelligence and intuition. With a natural inclination towards the arts, Pisces-born individuals make excellent poets, musicians, and artists. (Katie says her creative intuition makes sense now! haha)
Pisces in Love and Relationships
It’s also said that in relationships, Pisces are passionate and deeply connected. Their empathetic nature makes them supportive partners, though they may need to balance their desire to please with their own needs. Pisces value emotional depth and sincerity, making them devoted and caring companions.
Why the Pisces Zodiac Necklace?
Aligned with the Piscean traits, the Pisces Zodiac Necklace by Katie Dean Jewelry is a perfect way to represent your sign. With its delicate features and subtle way of representing one of your personal characteristics it strikes a balance of style and substance. We also love how the two swimming fish are a perfect dainty symbol of the artistic and dreamy nature of this zodiac sign. As Katie, a fellow Piscean, puts her heart into this piece, it embodies the hope that it fuels creativity and brings out the best in those who wear it.
Embrace Your Piscean Essence
So in conclusion, whether you are a Pisces or have someone special who is, this necklace is a beautiful way to celebrate the unique qualities of this sign. It's not just jewelry; it's a reminder of the mystical, empathetic, and creative spirit that Pisces embodies. Let this necklace be a source of inspiration and a token of belonging to the magical world of Pisces.
Explore and embrace the enchanting world of Pisces with our Zodiac Necklace, and may it be a catalyst for your most creative and dream-filled year yet!

]]>A Sip Through Time: The Story of Coffee
Legend whispers of an Ethiopian shepherd named Kaldi, who, in the 9th century, discovered the invigorating effects of coffee after noticing his goats frolicking energetically upon consuming mysterious red berries. This serendipitous discovery led to coffee beans crossing continents and centuries, eventually becoming the morning ritual we cherish today.
By the 15th century, the Yemeni district of Mocha was renowned for its coffee, a legacy so enduring that 'mocha' remains a beloved coffee variant. And did you know? In the 1600s, coffee was sometimes called 'Arabian wine' due to its origins and the exhilaration it brought, akin to the more spirited beverages of the time.
Circles of Joy: The Ring's Journey
Much like coffee, rings have been symbols of power and passion throughout history. It's said that Egyptian pharaohs first fashioned rings from leather and bone over 3,000 years ago. The circle, having no end, represented eternity, and the hole in the center was seen as a gateway to unknown worlds. Fast forward to today, and rings continue to be emblems of love, commitment, and personal expression.
Latte Art and Luster: Why Coffee and Rings?
But why, you might wonder, do we so often see images of hands adorned with rings, clasping a latte? It's a celebration of daily life, a moment captured that's both intimate and universal. A freshly made latte, with its comforting warmth and artful presentation, becomes the canvas to showcase the gleaming creativity on our fingers. If you're looking for an instant mood booster to start your day, elevate your style with our meticulously curated ring selection.
The Latte Effect
When the rich, bold espresso meets the creamy milk, it's not just a beverage—it's a work of art. Each cup is unique, much like the rings from Katie Dean Jewelry. And when you pair your favorite brew with a stack of golden bands, you're not just accessorizing; you're storytelling.
Ring in the Day
Why does this pairing elevate our day? It's a ritual that grounds us, a moment of luxury before the rush. A glimpse of our chosen rings—be it the subtle glint of a minimalist band or the statement of a bold piece—reminds us of our individuality. It's the personal touch in a universal rhythm of espresso shots and milk foam.
In the accompanying photos, notice how each ring complements the setting—a Parisian café, a bohemian coffee shop also in Paris, or the quiet corner of your kitchen. Each image is a narrative, a quiet celebration of life's simple pleasures. The image below was taken by Katie on her first year wedding anniversary on a trip to Paris with her husband. They heard incredible things about the coffee and the food at Holybelly in Paris so they put it on their loooong list of places to visit while on their Europe trip. Yes, it's still open and you should definitely pay Holybelly a visit the next time you find yourself in the city of lights-Paris!
So, the next time you wrap your fingers around a warm mug, take a moment. Admire the rings you've chosen to wear. Reflect on the journey of the beans that made your coffee and the craftsmanship of the jewelry adorning your hand. It's a small act, but it connects you to stories and traditions as old as time itself—just like that first mythical sip of coffee and the eternal loop of a ring.

Bonus photo! Although this one doesn't feature a hand with any rings, we also adore cute tile + coffee photos with fun shoes. This is from another Parisian cafe favorite Ob La Di Cafe. Katie says the banana bread is out of this world and the lattes are incredible!

]]>Understanding Our Jewelry Materials
Our collection features a blend of materials to cater to various styles and preferences. The chains, connectors, and clasps of our necklaces, as well as the posts on our earrings, are made with 14k gold-fill, offering durability and a long-lasting shine. Meanwhile, our rings, necklace charms, and earring charms are made right here in America with a brass base and elegantly plated with 18K yellow gold. This combination not only ensures quality but also makes our 14k gold-fill pieces hypoallergenic, perfect for those with sensitive skin.
Daily Care for 14k Gold-Filled Pieces
Your daily habits can significantly impact the longevity of your gold-filled jewelry. Here are some easy tips:
- Keep it away from harsh environments: Pools, hot tubs, and the sea can be harsh on gold-filled jewelry due to chemicals and saltwater.
- Mind your beauty routine: Apply your jewelry after using beauty products like perfumes, lotions, and sunscreens, as these can tarnish the gold.
- Gentle cleaning is key: Use a soft cloth to remove makeup and oils after each wear. If your jewelry has been exposed to sunscreen, saltwater, or sweat, give it a quick rinse in clean water and dry it with a soft cloth.
Deep Cleaning for Extra Sparkle
Every couple of months, give your jewelry a deeper clean:
1. Soak in warm water with mild soap for a minute.
2. Gently scrub with an ultra-soft toothbrush.
3. Rinse in clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Caring for 18K Gold Plated Jewelry
Our 18K gold plated pieces require the same care guidelines as the 14k gold-fill elements, and while durable, require a bit of extra care to maintain their luster:
- Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents can affect the plating.
- Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the plating.
- Store separately: Keep your plated pieces separate from other jewelry to prevent scratches (this is not a must but if you want to be extra careful you can implement this)
Storage Solutions
If you’re not going to be wearing your pieces for a while we do recommend that you store your jewelry in airtight containers, this includes both gold-filled and plated pieces. This helps prevent dirt buildup and prolongs their beauty.
Embracing the Natural Aging Process
Remember that both 14k gold-filled and 18K gold plated jewelry will age over time. There are some claims online that say 14k gold-fill jewelry will never show aging but this is simply not true. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we would rather give you realistic expectations than disappointment in the long term. But embrace it! This natural aging process adds character and uniqueness to each piece, reflecting your personal journey. Also, for the affordable price that you are able to buy our jewelry vs a heavier investment when it comes to solid gold pieces, the length of time you can wear your 14k gold-fill and 18k gold plated pieces gives you a very good return on investment and is well worth the money spent. Especially considering that we make our jewelry in America which significantly increases our production costs.
Why Choose Our Jewelry?
By choosing our jewelry, you're investing in pieces that blend style, quality, and affordability while supporting a small business in America. Whether it's the durability of 14k gold-filled elements or the elegance of 18K gold plating, our jewelry is designed to be cherished.
Explore our collection today and find the perfect piece that resonates with your style – a blend of elegance, quality, and timeless beauty.
We used ChatGBT to help us create this blogpost by researching online to find the common and tried and true practices of how to care and maintain the shine and prolong the life of your jewelry. We hope you enjoyed it!

If you're circling around the idea of jewelry (because, let's be honest, who doesn't love a bit of sparkle?), we've got a heartwarming suggestion: Beaded Heart Hoop Earrings from Katie Dean Jewelry. These aren't just any earrings; they're a love letter to style, elegance, and a dash of fun.
Why Heart Hoops?
Symbol of Love, Wrapped in Gold
Hearts, the eternal emblem of love, get a stylish twist in these earrings. They aren’t just accessories; they're wearable symbols of affection. Whether it’s self-love (yes, treat yourself!) or showing someone you care, these hoops speak the universal language of love, no Rosetta Stone needed.
Timeless Yet Unique
Imagine a classic design with a unique touch - that's the magic of these Beaded Heart Hoop Earrings. They're like that one friend who can pull off vintage and contemporary in one look. The detailed craftsmanship ensures they stand out, not just today, but in the fashion stories you’ll tell your grandkids.
Quality That Shines
Nickel-free and made with 14k gold fill hoops, these earrings are like the golden ticket in Willy Wonka’s factory – precious and exciting. The heart charm? An 18K gold plate over brass base, proving all that glitters can be gold.
The Perfect Size to Make a Statement
With the hoops coming in at 12x2mm and the heart charms coming in at 10x11mm, they are the perfect conversation starters. Not too big that they take over your Zoom frame, and not too small that they're searching for Waldo. They're the Goldilocks of earrings: just right.
Made in America
Supporting local craftsmanship never looked so stylish. Each pair is made with love and care, adding a personal touch that factory-made can't match.
For Every Occasion
From Valentine’s Day whispers to Mother's Day cheers, and those 'just because' moments, these earrings are the Swiss Army knife of gifts. They fit snugly into every celebration, making them a versatile choice for gifting.
So, there you have it. The Beaded Heart Hoops are not just a gift; they're a statement, a gesture, and a little piece of art. Whether you’re playing Santa for someone else or yourself (hey, self-love is important!), these earrings are a charming choice that will make hearts flutter and faces smile.
In the world of gifts, the Beaded Heart Hoops are akin to a standing ovation at a Broadway show - memorable, delightful, and always in style. So, why wait? Let your heart (and your cart) lead the way to a sparkling holiday season!
This holiday season I'm re-sharing one of my favorite blog posts from a few years ago featuring my Grandma Julie's family-famous (and delectable) Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe!
Many people don't know this but I'm a quarter Lebanese and that's from my Grandma Julie. We were best, best friends and she taught me so many life lessons -- one of those was how to enjoy food!
I grew up eating homemade tabbouleh, kibbeh, grape leaves, and so many more delicious Leb dishes. The recipe I'm going to share with you today is not a Lebanese dish but you can head to the KDJ Pinterest page to see lots of Mediterranean recipes I've pinned that are perfect for your weekly menu options.
This recipe is fool proof and keeps really well if you wrap it up in between snacking on it. I usually make a double batch and substitute in gluten free flour for the regular flour - it tastes just the same, if not better!
Pro tip: I highly encourage you to make this banana bread in small bread pans and freeze them so you can take them out each week and have it fresh! Best enjoyed with a cup of hot tea and a game of backgammon.
Preheat oven to 350*
Then combine wet ingredients in a bowl (you can use a hand mixer on low speed):
1 cup mashed bananas (usually 2-3 ripe large bananas)
2 eggs (best if room temp)
1/2 cup soft butter (don't microwave it, just leave it out overnight to soften)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
In a separate small bowl, combine dry ingredients:
1.5 cups Flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Next, add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to combine (don't over whip if you use a hand mixer).
Then, add in about 1 cup chocolate chips if desired -- I always add them. *Tip: if you add in chocolate chips, pour your mix into the bread pan first and then sprinkle the chocolate chips in on top and mix in gently with a fork or spoon. This helps keep the chocolate chips closer to the middle of the bread instead of sinking to the bottom.
Grease bread pan with butter then pour in the banana bread mix.
Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Use a toothpick to make sure that it's cooked enough inside, if it comes out clean, it's done. If the toothpick comes out with pieces stuck to it, leave it in for another 5-10 minutes.
After you take out your Banana Bread, let it sit for 10 minutes before you slice it. While you wait, make yourself a cup of coffee or tea.
And in the words of Grandma Jules, eat & enjoy!

Astrology has a unique way of reflecting our personality traits and guiding us through life's journey. For those born between October 23rd and November 22nd, the Scorpio sign is a beacon of strength, wisdom, and loyalty. It’s a sign known for its depth, intensity, and resilience. In honor of this powerful zodiac sign, we are thrilled to showcase our Scorpio Necklace - a blend of elegance, modernity, and symbolism, designed to resonate with the bold spirit of Scorpios.
The Symbolism of the Scorpio
Scorpios are represented by the scorpion, an emblem of their fearless nature and ability to stand tall and proud, irrespective of external approval. This necklace is more than just an accessory; it is a representation of the Scorpio's unique characteristics. The charm, elegantly depicting the scorpion, serves as a reminder of your inner strength, loyalty, intelligence, and wisdom. These are not just traits; they are superpowers that Scorpios wield with grace and dignity.
Design and Craftsmanship
The Scorpio Necklace is designed with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of what the Scorpio symbol signifies. The 18-inch gold-filled chain exudes a subtle elegance, making it a perfect fit for any attire, whether casual or formal. The clasp and findings are also crafted from gold-filled materials, ensuring durability and a lasting shine.
At the heart of the necklace is the charm, brass-based with an 18K gold plating that captures the light and draws attention to its intricate design. This charm is not just a piece of jewelry; it's a work of art that represents the soul of a Scorpio.
Made in America with Love
In line with our commitment to quality and uniqueness, each Scorpio Necklace is made in America. This means that when you wear this necklace, you are not only embracing your zodiac identity but also supporting skilled artisans who put their hearts into creating something truly special. The handmade nature of this piece ensures that no two necklaces are exactly the same, just like no two Scorpios are alike.
Wearing Your Zodiac with Pride
Wearing the Scorpio Necklace is about making a statement. It’s about showcasing the world who you are and what you stand for. This necklace invites you to celebrate your Scorpio identity every day, to wear your zodiac sign loud and proud. It’s an invitation to not only acknowledge your strengths but to also live them.
A Gift of Significance
If you’re looking for a meaningful gift for a Scorpio friend or loved one, the Scorpio Necklace is a thoughtful and beautiful choice. It’s a gift that speaks volumes, one that says you appreciate them for all that they are. It’s more than a necklace; it’s a gesture of love and admiration for their true nature.
The Scorpio Necklace is more than just an accessory; it’s a personal emblem for those who are born under this powerful zodiac sign. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit, profound intelligence, and unwavering loyalty of Scorpios. We invite you to fall in love with this delicate and modern piece and to wear your zodiac sign as a badge of honor. Embrace your Scorpio spirit and let the world see the strength and beauty that lie within you.
