Square sterling silver necklace, 2 colors, resins and herbs - $45
This particular love affair began before I had kids. Actually, it began when we were trying to conceive. My friend Debra introduced me to METALSGirl jewelry — Chrissy and I both loved the colors and the look, and when we heard that, Laura, the designer, used herbs with enhancing properties (poppy seeds for fertility!), in her creations, we thought, hey, it can’t hurt. We had Laura design a ring for Chrissy. She wore it. She got pregnant.
A year later, it was my turn. I wore the ring. And a METALSGirl necklace. I got pregnant. We’ve since passed the lucky ring around to other friends trying to conceive — and it’s worked for them, too. Am I saying the ring is magic? No. But I am saying it has a damn good track record. It’s sort of become like Sisterhood of the Traveling Fertility Ring (if you’re interested in borrowing it, give us a shout.)
2 color round sterling and resin ring -- $60
Anyway, my love goes beyond that first ring. I have several METALSGirl necklaces and another ring, too. It’s very much in keeping with our Shiny Brite philosophy — Life with Kids, Made Better. I love the jewelry. I love to look at it and consider my next purchase every year when we go home to Texas. It makes me happy.
Happiness through consumerism and bold use of color. Sign me up. Always.
(Laura ships her designs, too, so go crazy browsing and ordering online. Say Chrissy and Melisa sent you.)

As you know, I wore the “traveling ring” and it worked for me too! For pregnancy #2 I ordered a bracelet with a poppy seed charm and brought good luck. I’ve since ordered bracelets for friends going thru some fertility issues and all have been lucky charms. Herbs, good ju-ju, whatever you want to call it — they are magic.
Oh, always so nice to hear, Amy, when the jewelry helps bring a little good luck! And glad it worked for you, too, of course. 🙂
Fun!
