Shopping for quality jewelry can be tricky. There are so many styles, shapes to fit every price range, it’s enough to make your head spin. We don’t always know what the jewelry is really made of (conflict-free diamonds? real gold?), or who even made it. Some of the prices on mall fashion jewelry make you question if tiny hands or underpaid workers were involved in the making.
That’s heartbreaking.
Finding quality jewelry is no easy task. Finding quality jewelry that speaks to you, that inspires you, that makes you feel confident, that gives you a sense of individuality–that’s even tougher. I’m not into buying jewelry that’s only fashionable for a few weeks that ends up oxidized or knotted in the bottom of my jewelry box.
With that being said, there’s a lot to love about the Boho by Spence collection.
Boho by Spence has made it their mission to craft jewelry for the spirit of the Boho girl in a sustainable and ethical way.
The Boho girl sees the world differently than your average girl. She’s creative, adventurous, and fun, but she also fears no challenge and is morally grounded. She loves to travel, enjoys fashion, hangs out at festivals, and catches up with friends over coffee. An independent thinker. Curious. Compassionate. Confident.
The collection is made up of several symbols: Earth, Fire, Water, Leaf, Lotus, Paisley, Feather, Arrow, and Infinity. Every symbol has a different meaning behind it.
For example, the leaf symbol is “purity personified.” It’s a reminder of the importance of respecting oneself and others. Another symbol is the lotus, which represents the future and how our possibilities are wide open.
The two pieces of jewelry I have feature the lotus and the feather. The feather is about lightening your mind, opening your heart, and letting yourself go.
Every symbol is positive, thought-provoking, and grounding. I love the idea of wearing a piece of jewelry that is more than just a piece of jewelry.
Each piece is simple, elegant, and light. The earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets are universally flattering, no matter the occasion or outfit. It’s effortlessly easy to style any of the pieces.
My favorite part about the Boho by Spence Diamonds collection is that 1% of each purchase goes to the NGO Not for Sale to alleviate human trafficking and that Spence Diamonds has a deep-rooted commitment to help the community affected by diamond exploitation in Central Africa. They focus on eliminating any unethical impact and they also focus on building the community by building schools and creating housing for those displaced.
All pieces in the Boho by Spence Diamonds are made with Artisan Created Diamonds. They’re identical to mined diamonds–even gemologists can’t tell the difference. When the diamonds catch the light, they have the most beautiful glow and illuminate the jewelry so well. Knowing that all of the jewelry in this collection has been created in a socially conscious way makes me proud to wear the jewelry.
Anything from the Boho by Spence collection will make a great addition to your own jewelry collection. The symbolism and social consciousness behind this collection also makes any of the earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets a thoughtful gift.
