✨Dreams that Sparkle: My story about a passion for Necklaces✨

So…. I’ve always been a “collector of sparkles.” Even as a little girl growing up on the streets of New York City, I would spend many afternoons combing the Orchard Beach in the Bronx, searching for glistening shells and shiny stones. 

As I got older, my treasure hunts turned into a fascination with jewelry—especially pieces that tell a story. Even in high school, I was the kid who was always going window shopping in little shops located in Chinatown and the Diamond District in Manhattan. Also, many days I could be found visiting various department stores that had fine jewelry. I didn’t have much money in those days, so I’d simply admire beautiful jewelry and dream of the day when I could have them and share them with others. When at home, I found myself combing through magazines, cutting out pictures of my favorite jewelry.

After college, I began my career as a nurse (also my calling in life). But, my passion for jewelry resulted in the amazing personal collection I treasure. I also gave more than a few necklaces to friends and family, but these were gifts with intention. My necklaces created connections between people and friends with a unique bond; some necklaces represented or strengthened the faith of those who received them; and many individuals even shared that they felt better physically... Before long, people started asking if I could sell them some necklaces from my special collection.

However, selling required me to step out of my comfort zone. I was shy – the type of girl who preferred to window shop and accumulate a collection instead of pitching sales to a crowd. Yet, with significant encouragement from friends and family, I took a digital leap. I dedicated time to learn how to build this website; and, after considering names like 'GlitterGlow' and 'Charmtide,' I chose the straightforward name: Necklace4u.com.

My online store started with a limited selection of unique, carefully chosen designs, inspired by the enthusiastic feedback from those who admired them. Initially, orders came in slowly—from friends and then from strangers discovering my site via Google, Instagram, and TikTok. My customers frequently tell me how captivated they are by the small assortment of necklaces I’ve posted online. Before long, my love for jewelry and my obsession with sparkle had transformed into a thriving business.

To this day, I still hand-pick each necklace featured on this site, infused with my affection, and I feel joy with each testimonial I receive from thousands of satisfied customers. But, it all began with a little girl searching for shiny treasures on a beach, and a dream of gathering beautiful things. 💖

Sincerely, Ardith.
