“I’ve always loved jewelry, especially vintage-one-of-a-kind type pieces. When my long time friend from Grad school and her sister Tracy asked me to design a piece of jewelry to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis, I wanted it to be inspirational, have a vintage feel and be able to be worn a couple of different ways, (to give a girl options). I loved the idea of a butterfly, because it represents transformation during times of transition (which is perfect for people who are diagnosed with a chronic illness). It’s also a hopeful symbolic reference for rising above problems during difficult times.”
“As a therapist I know how powerful words can be. I wanted the word “Believe” because that’s what we so often need to remind ourselves to do when life presents us with it’s multiple challenges. Reading an inspirational word, or having it near our body can sometimes give us the hope and little extra boost we need, to get us through the day. I also wanted the words to look like a hand engraved piece from Tiffany. Stacy Greenberg Weber, with her jewelry import and production company, Ann Maura Accessories, helped me to put my vision together.”
