One of the most heart flipping things, ever, is delving into the process of creating my own charm combination… something extra special to carry with me, close to my heart, as I move through my days. A single charm dangling from a simple chain is lovely. But a cluster of stunning treasures…that’s even better.

For my necklace, I have chosen to combine simple pieces that when added together provide subtle hints into my personality. I love the 18” Medium Rolo Chain, because it has a classic look that matches with absolutely everything! The three charms that I often pair with the chain are the Swallow Silhouette Portrait Charm, the Rose Gold Free Form Charm, and a Baby Insignia Charm in the letter “D.”

The first piece of Waxing Poetic Jewelry that I purchased was the Love Spirit Stamp Pendant. It is such a simple design that has so much meaning. Everyone has a story and everyone has beliefs. Both of which, for me, come down to one word: Love. This charm exemplifies who I am, where I’ve been, and where I want to go.

Hi! My name is Tracy and I am a Customer Service Representative in the Wholesale Division of Waxing Poetic. I think the only tough thing about my Waxing Poetic Jewelry, is trying to decide which pieces to wear because I love them all! I have bracelets, chains with charms, earrings and rings.

When I first started working at Waxing, I NEVER would have mixed metals. I liked silver and only silver…I am opening up to this idea of Patti’s, encouraging people to mix their metals. Today, I choose to represent myself and a loved one with the Silver Mother of Pearl Monogram Charm. Read the rest of this entry »

I enjoy wearing the Large Rolo Chain with a gold “B” Crest Insignia Charm, along with the Pastime Music Charm and the sterling silver/brass Crown Charm. I like the way the Large Rolo Chain catches the eye. I was never typically attracted to the crown symbol in the past until I saw this one. I love how it’s not overly feminine especially when paired with the Large Rolo Chain, but it still has a slight touch of femininity. The crown, to me symbolizes strength. It also reminds me that I am worthy and deserving of great things. The Pastime Music Charm is very personal to me. My mother’s side of the family is very artistic and musical so growing up it has always been a part of my life that has brought me joy. I like to add the miniature gold “B” Crest Insignia Charm (my initial) for a little pop of color that is a nice contrast with the silver, and also makes the brass in the crown stand out.
I have always been the type of person who wants to wear something that no one else has. My life and moods are ever changing and I show that with the jewelry I wear. Some days I like to wear a simple single charm for a more natural look and other days I go for something bolder. What I love about WP is that you can mix and combine pieces, so the possibilities are endless! It’s always fun for me to see what other people put together because it gives me a little insight into their unique personalities and it’s nice how you can express your individuality through this jewelry. I feel throughout one’s life there are significant lessons, people, and experiences–wearing Waxing Poetic jewelry is a way for me to remember these special moments…

A huge thank you to Amber Beckham who was kind enough to share this touching story about how she and her sisters keep the memory of their father close to their hearts by wearing matching Antique Brass Insignia Charms on the Baby Ball Gold Chain Necklaces and allowing us to pass it along to you…
When we were in Florida for our annual trip with my eldest sister’s family, Lesli, she, in her most amazing gift giving way, pulled out a present for Briana and I one evening as we sat on the couch. She began to explain that it was “an early Father’s Day gift.”
My heart skipped a beat half in fear and half in excitement thinking that we were celebrating him a month before it was time for that holiday to be here and really, that we were approaching the subject of Father’s Day as sisters. It made me happy and sad at the same time.
Lesli has an incredible way of finding unique, beautiful, and meaningful gifts. And this time would have to top any others she has pulled out of her hat. We opened small boxes to find an engraved necklace with the letter, “D” on it, for “Dad” and his initials and dates on the back all in gold and silver. It looks like the old fashioned mail seals that you would use to send a letter to someone. But as I write, I think how funny that is…and ironic, that it’s a necklace, but it looks like a wax seal. It’s like dad is sealed on our hearts as we remember him every day we are alive, not just on Father’s Day.
What an honor to wear this. I am thinking of dad today in a special way, somewhat sad and contemplative…but I remain nostalgic. I know I can speak for both Briana, Lesli, and our brother Zach that we are carrying dad with us today. Happy Father’s Day…We love you, Dad.
