Urban Sparrow is a young jewelry company favored by the likes of Jennie Garth and Gossip Girl‘s Blake Lively, and they make affordable, meaningful necklaces you can wear all over the world.
Not only do they have this classic and androgynous Journey design (at right, it’s a 3/4 inch hand stamped sterling silver disc adorned with a hand wrapped freshwater pearl, $38), but they also accept custom orders.
I asked Urban Sparrow’s owner and creative director Shawn Nelson what inspired them to create the Journey design.
“The Journey necklace was inspired by my mom who was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 6 years ago. Since then she has a clean bill of health and that is the way we live now … that every moment no matter how large or small is a journey. The way we run Urban Sparrow and our lives is through adventure and journey. I think that now we travel more, experience more and enjoy more!!! It is all a journey and the way you perceive it.“
It’s a beautiful message and a beautiful necklace, with only a minor danger of causing others to assume you’re really into classic rock. Want to choose your stones, the number and size of your discs, and your text? Get a custom necklace made — they’re extremely reasonably priced, and you can even add the date and location of your trip to make a special keepsake.
