Versatile. Timeless. Boring as Hell.

Written By Allie Perry June 6, 2025

You stood there, for the third time in as many minutes, hoping against all logic to see something new.

You already knew exactly what you’d see, but that didn’t stop you from lingering and allowing the cool air to swirl past you and dissipate into your kitchen.

You were hungry. Maybe bored. You were definitely uninterested in the options you’d seen in your fridge, and increasingly disappointed with each new attempt to discover something, anything, you’d previously missed.

The underwhelming selection was your own fault. You did the grocery shopping. You’d made lists of the things you knew you needed and thought you wanted, and then responsibly avoided the urge to buy tons of junk food. 

And then you were eventually betrayed by your past self when it came time to find a tasty snack.

Carrots? They have the crunch you’re looking for, but they won’t even be close to healthy after you drench them in ranch.

Jello? The strawberry starburst flavor that caught your eye at the store hadn’t lived up to your expectations.

A few triangles of Toblerone? A personal favorite, usually, but just not the right answer right now.

So you’re left uninspired by everything that was the right choice in the store, but nowhere near what you want in the moment.

And if you’re anything like the decades worth of customers I’ve heard with the same complaint, you feel the same way every time you look at your jewelry collection.

You see good jewelry. You see versatile jewelry. 

But you don’t see anything that excites you, so you end up wearing the same three pieces over and over and over.

So boring.

But we both know you’re not boring, or you wouldn’t be here. You’re ready for something bold. Something different from what you’ve had before- something that no one else has.

And you don’t need a reason.

You’re allowed to want things just because they’re different.

It’s not indulgent.

It’s a quiet refusal to settle for everyone else’s predictable, cookie-cutter expectations, and a decision to make choices that are unmistakably you.

So if your jewelry box feels like a fridge full of carrots and compromise, come get yourself something better.

Shop the one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry I made with you in mind — and get something you actually want this time.
