My husband Walt died six years ago.
When I finally took my wedding ring off, I didn't know what to put in its place. So I went online. I was going to buy myself something small — something that said I'm still here.
The first ring I ordered turned my finger green in four days. The second broke at the clasp. The third arrived so small, I laughed out loud, standing alone in my kitchen.
That's when I realized the jewelry industry had decided women my age would take anything. That we'd be grateful for whatever they sent us. That we were invisible — and therefore easy to fool.
So I started Adelaide Jewelry.
A small, beautiful way to say — quietly, not loudly — "I'm still here."
Real 925 sterling silver. Real 18k gold plating. Real lab-created emeralds and sapphires. No fake markups. No inflated prices.
Every piece is made in batches of 400. I check each one by hand before it ships. When a batch is gone, it's gone until the next run.
Turns your finger green? I replace it. Chain breaks? I replace it. For the life of the piece. No questions asked.
Every woman is living a chapter right now. Here's a piece for yours.
Pieces to mark the year you didn't choose. To honor what was. To step into what's next.
