Greetings from the Colorado Rockies!
I’ve been spending the past few days enjoying a little spring skiing in glorious Aspen! The weather has been amazing and it’s really true – when you’re on top of these cathedral mountains you really feel like you can touch the sun!
Everything about the serene beauty of Colorado makes me feel blessed and happy to be alive!

Here we are, almost one year later, about to launch this lovely hand made treasure as a Today’s Special! Not only did we change the design, but everything about Our necklace is even more beautiful than the original! It was a true labor of love and I will be forever grateful to the wonderful women of Nepal who dedicated over 11 months of their time and skill to create these wearable works of art for us!
Be sure to join me and Andrew Stone, president of Himalayan Gems, on March 14th at midnight when we launch this very special Today’s Special!
