You know I am all about luxury, so when Welly Merck contacted me and taught me all about their luxurious watch line; I was intrigued. Not only does Welly Merck make luxurious watches which are beautiful and keep accurate time, they make them affordable too. Love!

The Welly Merck story is one of true love. The company was born from a loving marriage between two people who traveled the globe to be with one another. Rather than re-tell someone else’s story, you can read about the romantic tale online here.

From this love, a fabulous and luxurious watch company was born. Welly Merck watches are nothing short of fabulous! They offer thin watch faces; and my Mother always told me, the thinner the casing, the more expensive the watch! There are watch styles for both men, and women, in sporty and dressy styles. I love these watches!

The sleek, metallic and leather watch offerings fit any taste in watches. It was really difficult for me to pick just one watch! The gold watch shown in these pictures is what I ultimately chose since my only gold watch is vintage, and I don’t like to wear it that often. My Welly Merck watch is classic, sleek, luxurious, and easy to wear every day. Love that!

If you can’t choose between watch straps, Welly Merck also sells watch straps, so you can buy one face, and multiple straps, to give your watch all different looks; depending on your outfit or mood. They offer metal, leather, and fabric straps. I love the metallic watch straps. This gold strap is so chic! I love how it compliments the hardware on my favorite handbag.

Welly Merck watches are so luxurious and chic. I am in love with my watch! These watches would also make great gifts for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, as well as Birthdays and Graduations. Love that!

If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, you have heard of Vardy’s Jewelers. They are located in Cupertino at 10227 South De Anza Blvd. If you have not heard of them, then this is a special day!

Vardy’s Jewelers is a family owned jewelry store filled with highly skilled European Goldsmiths. They can work magic on old, broken jewelry by bringing new life to it, or design a special piece from scratch! In addition to original works, Vardy’s Jewelers is filled with beautiful jewelry by designers; as well as Hearts on Fire! If you have not seen a Hearts on Fire diamond in person, then you have never seen a diamond! Let’s get this straight; nothing sparkles with fire more than a Hearts on Fire diamond. I am dreaming of one!

Last Thursday, Vardy’s Jewelers celebrated 35 years of business with an intimate party. This family owned shop has been well-loved in Silicon Valley for over three decades; and is the ultimate go-to store for fine jewelry. Everyone knows Vardy! He is the one who can redesign your jewels, create a new, special piece, or find something ready-made for any special occasion; or just to celebrate life!

Since Mother’s Day is a few days away, I thought showcasing my favorite pieces from Vardy’s Jewelers is must!  Pictured in this post are the pieces that would make a perfect gift for Mom this upcoming Mother’s Day. They would also make fabulous graduation gifts too.

I am in love with the vintage necklace pictured below. Ah-hem, are my kids reading this? Better yet, my husband, who does the paying, needs to look at this picture! I know my kids really want to give it to me for Mother’s Day. Hint hint, nudge, nudge. 😉

In the bottom photo, I am posing with the fabulous Fanya Hull, of Vardy’s Jewlers. She has designed jewelry with her Father for me in the past; and is extremely talented. She has fabulous style, so if you need help choosing the right style of jewelry for a gift, or for yourself-look for her! She will even help you find the right baubles for a specific outfit or occasion. Love that!

You can learn more about Vardy’s Jewelers online at Vardys.com. Definitely stop in and check out everything that sparkles in the store for Mother’s Day, a graduation, or yourself! You won’t leave empty handed. I am sure you will love everything 🙂

Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
