Happy Birthday, Beautiful Friend
Happy Birthday
to my beautiful friend We don't meet people by accident. We are meant to cross paths for a reason. When you wear this necklace, I hope that you are reminded of just how lucky I feel that our paths crossed. Birthdays come each and every year, but friends like you only come once in a lifetime.
Friends like you only come around once in a lifetime. What a beautiful sentiment to celebrate your friend's orbit around the sun! Your friend deserves a thoughtful gift idea on her birthday. Something that can serve as a reminder of just how loved and cherished she truly is.
This beautiful sterling silver crossed arrows necklace not only serves as that reminder, but it's also made with quality sterling silver 925 components; what could be better than quality and a thoughtful gesture? Why Sterling Silver Makes A Difference
If you follow my blogs, or social media, I probably sound like a broken record. But as more and more small businesses (and drop ship companies) enter the market, it becomes even more important for me to emphasize the quality of my jewelry. It doesn't matter if you're buying something from my meaningful gift shop or someone else's, just please be aware of what you're actually buying.
Many shops will advertise sterling silver and when when you actually look at the description it's simply, 'silver'. Another red flag to keep an eye out for is that they'll say part of the jewelry is sterling silver...and the rest is just 'silver' or even brass. If a shop uses full transparency and you're comfortable with a different type of metal, then hit that 'buy now' button and support 'em! Just be aware of what you're ordering. The reason I continue to make a point to focus on this, which most people would probably think seems so insignificant, is because when I see these shops misleading consumers they're also charging the same, if not more, than sterling silver jewelry. It's your hard earned money and you can choose to spend it however you please - all I ask is that you know what you're purchasing...and what it's really worth. I am passionate about this topic because I want to raise awareness for consumers to know what they are truly ordering. If you're going to spend $30 - $40 on a necklace, shouldn't it be made of precious metal? (Yes, there are tons of shops out there selling at that price point for a plated or even pewter metals) Birthday Gift For Friend
Okay, okay. Now that my rant is over I can continue focusing on what this blog is really about...a meaningful birthday keepsake for your friend.
In addition to being made with all sterling silver 925 materials, each necklace...

I know, I know. When you go into a meaningful gift shop you usually don't spot some random (and slightly creepy) gift ideas and if you do, they're usually hidden in the back. But hey, what can I say? Humans are complicated and we have many layers to us. If I can be sentimental, thoughtful, and a little dark - why can't others? It's all about balance. The good and the bad. The light and the dark. The sweet and the sour. I think you get it. I decided to embrace all aspects of my creativity - including the sides that don't necessarily fit in with my other thoughtful gift lines. If you're like me, and a few of my closest besties, you enjoy a good scare - which is exactly what inspired my Best Friend Promise butcher knife necklace keepsake. Sterling Silver Butcher Knife NecklaceI might have more layers than an onion, but I will always stay true to the quality of my work. When I began making jewelry I used to use whatever materials I could get my hands on -- especially anything that would be easier on my bank account. As I grew and learned more about not only the materials themselves but also what it meant to run a quality vs quantity business, I made an oath to myself that I would only use high quality materials; including sterling silver 925. It is so bothersome when I see other businesses, both large corporations and small businesses, try to advertise high quality materials when in reality they're using plated materials or they don't even know what 'silver' they're actually using. Transparency is huge in my world and I wanted to extend that to every single person that shops with my brand. That's why I make it a point to focus on the detail that I only use sterling silver precious metal components; from jump rings to chains everything is sterling silver. Well, aside from the occasional keychain but even with that I use full disclosure of the materials used and it's on the key ring itself that is metal and not 925 sterling. This fun, and weird, sterling silver butcher knife necklace is the perfect keepsake to give to your crime documentary obsessed BFF. Horror Film Loving Friendship GiftIn addition to using high quality sterling silver materials, I also believe that presentation is key. That's why when you shop at Jen Downey your order will...

A mother and daughter share an everlasting bond. Through life's laughter, tears, and everything in between, a mother and daughter share a bond like no other.
Whether you're looking for the perfect birthday gift for your mom, want to give her a meaningful gift as you prepare to walk down the aisle to remind her that you'll always be her little girl, or just want to say thank you for all of the sacrifices she made over the years, Jen Downey's beautiful Mother & Daughter sentiment is the perfect gift idea. Know The Metal You're Buying
The reason that I only use sterling silver materials (aside from the occasional keyring) is because throughout my teenage years I would find this a-m-a-z-i-n-g piece of jewelry...only for it to tarnish or turn my skin green within a few weeks of having it. Who wants to spend their hard-earned money on something that's only going to break a few weeks after getting it? I know I don't.
So when my path aligned me to developing a meaningful jewelry line, I decided that I would only use high quality materials. Whether you're buying a thoughtful gift through my website or somewhere else, all I ask is that you're aware of what you're buying. Silver does not mean precious metal. In fact, companies (including small businesses) sell their 'metal' for the same price, or slightly less, than what you could buy a sterling silver piece for. Why not spend that extra few dollars for precious metal? What Comes With Your Necklace
Presentation is everything - and it has taken my years of trial and error to figure out the perfect way to package my meaningful jewelry. Whether you're sending a gift from Jen Downey directly to someone or shipping it to yourself first, the gift is ready to give the day it arrives.
