Lucky Charms

By Audrey Kim

What’s a better way to give a shout out to loved ones than to simply wear your heart on your sleeve? Okay, so not always your sleeve… but around your neck or wrist with One of a Kind jewelry is just as sweet. www.oneofakind-customjewelry.com.

Los Angeles-based jewelry company, One of a Kind, was founded in 2005 by Reve and Moran. Yeah that’s right, no last names. And they’re cool enough to get away with it. As dynamic women, mothers, and artists, Reve and Moran center their designs around the philosophy that jewelry has the power to make a statement, and their delicate and understated pieces resonate personally to each and every person who wears One of a Kind - making it a one-of-a-kind treasure.

When Moran got pregnant with her first child, Reve set out to design a special piece for her, and thus was born the Tree of Life. The image of a flourishing tree adorns the circular charm, with a subtle glitter in the form of a tiny diamond on the side. Hebrew letters add to the mysticism and spirituality of the amulet. With many significant values, such as life, growth, and prosperity, the Tree of Life is an especially meaningful charm for mothers.

One of a Kind is also perfect for all the stylish mamas out there who always look chic while juggling the crazy life of raising children. The effortlessly fashionable jewelry is beautiful when worn individually, and remarkably chic when layered; the special pieces are truly versatile, easily translating into any style.
