Why Personalized Jewelry is the Real Luxury
When I was a little girl growing up in the seventies, family gatherings were always loud and joyous. The adults clinked glasses and laughed downstairs, while we kids were sent to “the coat room” to play. I still remember sneaking into my grandmother’s bedroom with my sister and cousins, opening her huge wooden jewelry box, and covering ourselves in her pearls and gemstones. We rolled around in the soft fur coats piled on the bed, pretending we were the bells of the ball.
Looking back, I realize it wasn’t the pearls or gemstones themselves that felt so magical, it was the fact that they belonged to Nana. They carried her presence and style that was uniquely hers. That’s what made them so special.
Fast forward to today, and I’m the proud owner of CITRUS, a brand that has been creating personalized jewelry for nearly two decades. And I can see now that my childhood love of Nana's coveted jewelry box wasn’t about sparkle—it was about connection. Jewelry has always been a way to carry the people we love closer, like a tiny ritual of a memory we connect back to every time we put them on.
Heirlooms of Connection
Our customers often tell us they’ve been wearing their CITRUS pieces for almost 20 years. As trends come and go, these are the pieces they never want to take off, because they hold so much meaning. A pendant stamped with your child’s name when they were a tiny toddler, now off to university, or a necklace that reminds you of a loved one you lost, these pieces are worn every day, close to the skin, because they mean so much.
And this is what I believe true luxury is really all about. Not the price tag of a designer handbag or the prestige of a label, but the immeasurable value of sentiment and memory. A handbag may carry a certain status, but it will never hold the same worth as a pendant etched with your child’s name or a necklace made to honour your mom.
