CAN’T-MISS COLLECTION

Talking Story

In November 2013, Timeless Fine Jewelry’s Jackie Cohen adopted a baby girl, just eight days after connecting with the birth mother. In search of a piece to commemorate her long journey to motherhood, the New York City–based jeweler created a 14k yellow gold ring set with a baguette-cut citrine and named it the Julia, after her now-4-year-old daughter. The following June, she wore it to JCK Las Vegas. “All my clients loved it,” Cohen recalls. “I’d tell them about Julia, they’d tell me their stories. They asked if I could make the rings in other colors.” The positive feedback spawned Cohen’s elegant My Story Fine Jewelry collection of birthstone jewels, which now includes gem-set skinny dog tags, earrings, and variations on the Julia with price points starting around $900 retail. A portion of sales goes to HelpUsAdopt.org. —Victoria Gomelsky
