St. Gallen Bracelet

Today I would like to highlight our St. Gallen bracelet which is a simple combination of Rose Quartz gemstones, silk cord and sterling silver. Now, I am not a huge fan of pink myself, however I do love the St. Gallen bracelet, probably because of the overall feel: the pink is so pretty – soft and feminine; the shape of the gemstones (they are called “faceted rondelle” which means they are round like a wheel and faceted) reflects light and gives each stone depth and dimension; the clasp is detailed, creating a little bit of interest in an otherwise subtle piece. It fits wonderfully, is lightweight, and I love how it “rolls” slightly as you move or raise your arm. I find it to be wonderfully versatile…picture it around your write with any of these outfits: simple tank and jeans with sandals, 3/4 sleeve sweater and skirt with boots, simple cocktail dress and heels…the St. Gallen would complement them all perfectly.

This bracelet is also part of our  Pink line which gives a percentage of profits to help support the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation. The reason we were drawn to this particular charity is that money is used to help disadvantaged or under-insured women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are undergoing treatment. So, all of these wonderful pieces of jewelry, including the St. Gallen, not only make you look great, but you can also feel great knowing that you are also helping a good cause!

Now about that name … St. Gallen is a Northeastern city in Switzerland, with endless beauty to be found in both the city itself and the backdrop of the Alps. One of the highest cities in Switzerland, the main attraction is the Abbey of St. Gall, which has a library including books dating back to the 9th century. So much history in this city. Being born and living in the States, I am always drawn to European cities because just by looking at the architecture of the buildings, I immediately can sense the amazing history behind it. In St. Gallen, I love how the steeples and red roofs look against the snow-covered mountains – it is not only breathtaking, but such a wonderful juxtaposition of urban life and nature.

When we looked at images of the city, and thought of all the factors I mentioned above, we realized that St. Gallen was the perfect name for our rose quartz bracelet. Simple and fresh, with a hint of elegance and urbanity make the St. Gallen bracelet an accessory for a woman to enjoy that will never go out of style.
