  • This is Now, That was Then … Toggle Necklaces

    From time to time I come across pictures of past Remy and Me. designs. They span more than a decade and whenever I see pics, a flood of memories come back to me.

    Hello Friends,

    As the holiday season draws near, I am excited to introduce the very first of a collection of custom hand-knotted silk cord gemstone necklaces.

    The Amelie Necklace is oh-so-sweet and would make a wonderful gift for a loved one or yourself. The delicate design is lightweight, easy to wear and loved by girls 7 to 77. It features a single stone briolette and is available in 14k gold-filled or sterling silver.

    I would wear this necklace on a winter weekend, paired with a ribbed tank, a cozy sweater, thermal leggings, thick socks and my hair piled loosely in messy bun. Add a big mug of tea and a good book and I would be as happy as can be …
