1. Matching Jewelry
Over the last 10 years, my mother and I have picked a few pieces of matching jewelry, and it has become one of our favorite traditions. We don’t live in the same state, but everyday I look down at our special ring knowing she is doing the same, and it brings an immense amount of comfort. We recently ordered some rings from the jewelers at Bario Neal in Philadelphia. They make lovely handcrafted pieces with reclaimed precious metals, Fairmined gold, ethically sourced stones, and low-impact, environmentally conscious practices. Bario Neal
