I’ve really been enjoying this series and hope it’s not too late to get into the game! My favorite piece so far this summer is definitely “Mint Chocolate Chunk”, and here’s why:
At our family’s 4th of July picnic last year, my grandfather presented me with a box of my Grammy’s jewelry that he’d been holding for me since she died when I was 15. I’m 30 now, so that box spent a decade and a half waiting for me in their basement, and unfortunately they did not age well. Those pieces eventually inspired me to create a “Jewels from Grammy” line, and Mint Chocolate Chunk was the first in that series. I think Grammy would be proud.
Yes, I think she would be too, Dani! 
Very, very nice. Danielle. It looks yummy.
