Jewellery Is Self-Care: I Choose Me

If you don’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love anybody else?

Rupaul

If only we came with a manual.

Life would be so much easier if we could take out that wiki and knew how to act, react and behave in every situation.

Our DNA is coded for our social structure, where living for others – our family, our friends and the rest of society – is the standard. We spend so much time living for others, we forget to take care of ourselves. So take a deep breath today and say .. I choose me.

Popping on your baubles is looking after you. Treating yourself to a glittery gift is mindfulness. Buying sparkles for your friends is the gift of giving and passing on the sparkle. Wearing jewellery is a conscious decision to shine. Jewellery Is Self-Care: I Choose Me – you’re welcome.

Jewellery is the most transformative thing you can wear

I choose me

MYJS-Galentines-Day-Jewellery-Gift-Guide-myjewellerystory-blog-banner-2
Discover the MYJS Love Collection with designer heart jewellery. Honouring the most recognisable icon for compassion, understanding and love, these stylish pieces add a charming touch of romantic glamour to the everyday.

When you say “I choose me”, you are saying:

“I am being authentically me, I am accepting who I am, the life I live, my quirks and all the bits and pieces that make me uniquely me. I choose to move to the beat of my own drum.”

“I choose me” is self-care. It’s a decision that empowers us to look after our physical and mental wellness efficiently and conveniently. We set the standards of our life for our happiness and peace.

It means you love yourself enough to let go off anything that make you unhappy. It means you love yourself enough to sparkle and shine. Self-care is a necessity. Not looking after you is a sure way to mental and physical burnout.

No one knows us better than we know ourselves. This gives us the conscious decision and permission to always love ourselves above everyone else. This means you can always trust and depend upon you.

It doesn’t mean you can’t depend on and trust others: it means when you choose you, you won’t be disappointed.

Jewellery is always the perfect reminder to sparkle – with these reasons to say “I choose me”.

Surround yourself with sparkles

Motivation

Designed to mix + match with MYJS Mix Charms, Mix Hoops, Mix Statement Drop and Mix Stud Cluster earrings, the MYJS Mix Collection is the ultimate mini versatile jewellery set to bring pop to the everyday.

Popping on your baubles amplifies the shine from within. And jewellery is the perfect encouragement to drive you forward. Stagnation is death – not moving at all gets us nowhere and stops us in our track.

Progress is always preferred – even if it’s a few steps sideways, backwards to move forwards or even in circles. Moving means life. Moving motivates us to keep finding that fire and powering through – and sparkling brightly

Celebration

Be the sensation. The Octagon Sensational Statement Necklace presents vibrant monochromatic hues for maximum shine, adding dynamic energy for stunning style.

Celebrating our achievements builds our self-confidence. Buying that bracelet after getting that promotion, popping on that gifted personalised necklace from a loved one or grabbing those sparkly earrings online “just because” sets benchmarks for memorable celebration moments. We should celebrate all the wins – not just the big wins either. Got through a big day without falling into a heap on the floor? That’s a win. Fell onto the floor because it was a big day? Thank goodness there was the floor – so that’s a win too.

Whatever win it is – no matter how big or small – if it matters to you, don’t let it go by unrecognised. Be proud of yourself – and treat yourself.

An empty lantern has no light. Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly

Memories

The MYJS Bridal Collection adds the finishing touches to shine from morning to night – with all the sparkle every bride needs to look and feel her best.

Every piece of jewellery we own has a memory attached to it.

That great night when we went out and everyone saw our big dangly earrings sparkle under the disco ball. Designing that special personalised necklace for mum on Mother’s Day and all the anticipation for the moment she opens the box and sees it. The tennis bracelet everyone comments on because it twinkles so beautifully.

The engagement ring our boyfriend presents when they propose, the earrings, necklace and bracelet we wear with the wedding ring that slides onto our finger on our special day.

Jewellery marks special moments and experiences every time we buy them – and pop them on.

Because it’s your favourite

Make a statement with the MYJS Personalised Collection and one-of-a-kind stylish perfection.

The reason to treat yourself can be as simple as finding that holy grail: the perfect piece that goes with anything.

A plain black suit goes from basic to wow with the perfect sparkly pendant. A sweetheart neckline pops with the right dangly earrings, or the staple white tshirt and jeans goes next level with the right tennis bracelet and statement cocktail ring.

It’s not just wearing the same piece over and over – it’s an investment that becomes your unique signature.

Pick-me-up

The MYJS Bella Collection is the unicorn of the designer jewellery world featuring stunning ethical non-mined Swarovski® or Austrian crystals designed in a setting for sparkle and shine with each movement

Feeling down? That’s ok. Humans always want to feel connected by being accepted and understood. A pair of sparkly earrings, that shiny necklace, your favourite wrist twinkles or that bright ring will motivate us to turn that frown upside down – even if’s just for a moment. Sparkly jewellery always lifts the doom and gloom, as a reminder no matter how dark, the light will always shines bright and lead the way.

It’s very easy to feel unnoticed and unappreciated by everyone around us, but you can depend on you to never overlook yourself and accept yourself simply by saying “I choose me” – and the bright happy jewellery to remind you to shine.

Life isn’t perfect – but your jewellery can be

The Subtle Shine Of The Octagon Cut

octagon-cut-collection-myjewellerystory-blog-showcase-2

Updated August 2023

Life is better when you are covered in octagon cut jewellery

The cut of a gem defines their sparkle ability. A gem’s flawless, crisp shine depends on the number of facets and how light travels through the stone. With flat, polished surfaces from within the gem, facets work as tiny mirrors and cut to maximise the gemstone’s ability to draw in and reflect the light. The gem is more brilliant and sparkly as a result.

Welcome to ultramodern, unconventional jewellery, with The Subtle Shine Of The Octagon Cut.

Pieces of eight

Bella Hadid rocks it. Beyonce said yes to it, and Kim K flaunts it: With a contemporary edge, the classic grace and understated elegance of the Octagon Cut has emerged to overtake the more traditional cuts and jewellery pieces.

The unconventional design of octagon cut jewellery puts on a colourful show of understated sparkle. The strong, bold, sleek look leans towards minimalists and vintage fans who still love a pop of shine. Similarly to the emerald cut, the octagon cut works with the step cut approach where rectangular facets go up into the crown – the upper part of the cut stone – and down into the pavilion – the lower half of the cut stone. This cut offers a large table facet to showcase the stone’s colour and clarity for a strikingly understated twinkle.

If you cut corners, you just go around in circles

Showcasing the symbol for limitlessness with the octagon cut, the colourful Octagon Mix Carrier Stud Earrings are a modern tribute to everlasting style. Add a MYJS Mix Charm for understated glamour.

Developed more than a century ago, the octagon cut intended to get the most out of emeralds. With its abilities to showcase the exceptional clarity and colour of gems, octagon cut amethysts quickly became fashionable, with the modern cut applied across other coloured gemstones and crystals including Topaz and Citrine.

Octagon cut jewellery is like the perfect spice – it always complements what’s already there

Channel all-out fabulousness for the everyday and steal the spotlight with the boldly stunning design of MYJS Octagon Cut Drop Earrings.


Symbolic for rebirth and resurrection, the octagon is a reference to the bonds of family and life. It is the vehicle for good health and fortune.

The Octagon Cut stands out as a more unconventional cut for the modern generation of lovers keen for unique coloured gemstones over traditional diamonds.

I’m not a success. I’m a sensation

red-green-octagon-sensational-statement-necklace-octagon-cut-collection-myjewellerystory-blog-showcase
Be the sensation. The Octagon Sensational Statement Necklace presents vibrant monochromatic hues for maximum shine, adding dynamic energy for stunning style.

And as we become more environmentally conscious about the products we support, coloured non-mined crystals, gemstones and natural pearls and stones are the ethical go-to over the more commonplace diamond.

Whereas the more cliched round brilliant cut ferociously showcases a diamond’s sparkle, the octagon cut presents every colourful gemstone beautifully – and uniquely. Stand out for all the right reasons with the octagon cut.
