It’s time to go on a treasure hunt through her things, y’all.
She recalls interning with Saks corporate in New York City and being completely smitten with the jewelry department.
I wanted one that was nice, but also something that I could afford as a college student.

Charm jewelry is an emotional purchase because you’re telling your story.
It’s rare that a woman will come in by herself.
She says her favorite part of her job includes watching women bond.
I think people feel safe in nostalgia, and there’s something very nostalgic about charms.

I think people feel safe in nostalgia, and there’s something very nostalgic about charms.

You’re not taking yourself too seriously because there’s a playfulness about it, Hagerty explains.
We’ve been crawling out of that minimalistic aesthetic in recent years.
People are embracing their eccentric style and are stepping out of their comfort zone, she says.
It’s dressing with your own personality in mind.
Hagerty concurs, The weirder, the better; the funkier, the better.
My necklace is probably very different than your necklace, and we want it that way.
People can tap into their own vibe where no one looks the same.
She also credits the rise of our casual culture, especially in daily dressing.
Pearlsare going to keep growing.
Among their chain offerings, Its Especially Lucky has a pearl option for that extra dose of femininity.
That’s my litmus test, says Hagerty.
HARTs latest release includes a vesta case, inspired by a popular 1800s design.
Whatever lights you up, carry that around, she says.
If you want to hunt through your grandmother’s jewelry box for charms, bring them on in.
We would love to add one of those pieces to your necklace, says Hagerty.
