ModernGear Women: Jennifer Meyer jewelry

Jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer became known for her leaf pendant, worn by Jennifer Aniston in The Break-Up. Jennifer's character might have broken up with Vince Vaughn's in the movie, but Jennifer A. stayed with Jennifer M, showing her love for the jewelry line by wearing it out and about after the shoot ended.

A lot of times I'll like one or two pieces from a jewelry line, but there are so many amazing pieces in the Jennifer Meyer collection - in categories of necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets - that I would be hard-pressed to be able to choose which one I'd like to invest in...but I would likely start small, with one of her stackable rings.

So when my sister turned 40 last Friday, I knew this was going to be the perfect gift for her. My sis has slender fingers and beautiful hands, and with 40 being one of those big birthdays, I figured I had to commemorate it with something truly special.

It took a bit of work track down the one that I wanted. Knowing I was going to be flying in to Seattle and spending a day there before driving up to Canada, I checked out the stores list on jennifermeyer.com, and called to see if Barney's in Seattle had what I wanted. Nope. I then phoned all the Los Angeles area stores, thinking I could make it before I left for the airport (okay, I left it a bit late!)...finally, as I was about to board the plane, I got a call back from the awesome Roseark, saying they had one in her size!

It was too late to run down and pick it up, so I asked them to overnight it to me where I was staying (at the beautiful Hotel Andra in Seattle), whipped out my Visa, and it was done as easy as that! I ended up unable to get the diamond ring, so I got a beautiful turquoise stone set into white gold. I thought my sis would love to stack the turquoise blue and diamond bands on her right hand. When I unwrapped it, I was pleasantly surprised that it is even more delicate and beautiful than it seems in the picture.

I tied a pink ribbon to it and plunked it inside a perfect green glassybaby that I picked up in Seattle:
and gave it to her with the instructions that she would get one a year until she told me she had enough...and knowing my sister, that'll take a while!

By the way, she loved it...and we had a great time celebrating her milestone 40th.

Thank you to Roseark for helping me get this done! You can check out the collection at jennifermeyer.com, and at select stores in the USA and Canada.

Happy birthday, Tanya!
