Inspired by and named in honor of my parents... Betty & Bill... the B+B Collection.
Admittedly, I am NOT a wristwatch-wearer. I have had MANY watches over the years, but no matter how cute they were, I usually forgot to put them on or just found them to be annoying when I wore them. I've felt this way ever since I can remember, going all the way back to a McDonald's watch with a gold face and pink leather band (I have no idea why McDonald's had a watch like this). And after the invention of cell phones (yes, I'm that old young), I don't think I'll ever want another watch anyway, but my parents LOVED their watches and never went anywhere without them. I still have my dad's two-toned watch in my childhood jewelry box along with some of my mom's jewelry. So when I decided to curate a collection in their honor, it went without saying that I wanted it to reflect pieces they wore... like their wristwatches, of course!
With this mini collection, I decided to keep the classic two-toned rollie chainlink design for our matching B+B Hoops and B+B Bracelet set. This design is also offered in gold (hoop earrings only) and silver (bracelet only).
Also included are pieces inspired by and named in honor of both of my parents. Our Betty Hoops are inspired by my mom, who had yet another watch with a band design just like this one. Our Billie Chain Necklace is named after my dad and one of the many nicknames I had for him. And last, but not least, our Xena Mini Hoops are inspired by two-toned earrings from my mother's jewelry collection and named after a 90s show that my dad and I used to watch.
All of these pieces (with the exception of the Betty Hoops - made of gold-plated copper) were created using stainless steel, making them 100% hypoallergenic, water-resistant, and tarnish-resistant.
This is a very personal collection for me, and I hope the timeless and essential pieces in this collection will become some of your favorites and be passed down to your future generations.
