“I look at Delamina as my e-commerce partner,” said Agor. “We share the same sense of integrity in providing the best pieces to unique individuals who share an experience with their jewelry. We were a good fit from the very start. My customers are self-purchasers who have a relationship with the jewelry they select for themselves.” Agor’s designs are inspired from his world travels as he truly incorporates his spirit into each piece. He sources his stones through out the world and has personal relationships with the families who supply him with the cognac diamonds, fire opals and Australian opals that he uses in his one of a kind designs.

Designer Barry Kronen’s gorgeous heart-shaped locket pendant in 18K white gold has made Gem Gossip’s short list this year. This lovely pendant has a traditional heart shape, with vintage good looks and is set with almost a full carat of brilliant round and rose cut diamonds, all on an 18K white gold 16 inch chain.

“Valentines Day has traditionally been all about a man chasing and wooing a woman and luring her with shiny objects,” stated Cheryl Black, COO. “But how often do we fall in love with something that our partner chooses? We think that jewelry should be viewed as an extension of one’s individual style and taste, and that women should feel a sense of excitement, not remorse, for rewarding themselves with a beautiful piece of jewelry.”

Style-ology chose a lovely solitaire diamond as a fave, to wear whenever and on whatever finger you darn well choose. What’s your favorite?

This year, Delamina is on a mission. A mission to make sure that women don’t feel a sense of remorse if we buy our own jewelry. Let’s love ourselves this year! Delamina is the undiscovered goddess of jewelry, of self preservation, of empowerment and self-love. Let’s honor this goddess, and ourselves. Why not?

Maya G., an editor at Find Jewelry News noticed the Because statements on the Delamina site, with her personal favorite being: “Because it’s your money, and you don’t need a freakin’ excuse”.

“I love Delamina. It’s a beautiful site with a great group of designers,” said Foster. “I love the site’s attitude. Women should always take care of themselves and not wait for anyone to do it for them. They shouldn’t need a reason to splurge and what better way to do that than with beautiful jewelry.”

“We applaud women who live on their own terms,” said Black. “Jewelry is about personal style. We believe a woman shouldn’t wait for a man to buy her a piece of jewelry, or worse, for permission to buy her own. Delamina recognizes and respects the fact that women make their own decisions. We also promise fun and whimsy. While we take quality and authenticating each piece very seriously, we also think shopping for jewelry doesn’t need to feel stuffy.”

Every ‘Because’ statement on the Delamina homepage is heartfelt by and a favorite to someone near and dear to the Delamina team. Every ‘Because’ statement is also strongly disliked by another woman on or close to that same group. There is no lack of opinion between women, but we feel it is important to represent and support all of our varied opinions. Kate cut to the heart of our conflicted existence and caused quite a reaction. Thank you Kate!
