Getaway to Kansas City

Getaways, who doesn’t love them, right?  They are good for our souls and hearts, give rest to our minds and rejuvenate our bodies!

While I’m not a huge vacation person, I do strongly believe in some time “away” even if I have to “hole up” at home! Shutting everything out cleanses my mind and rejuvenates my creativity. What’s your favorite getaway benefit? If you’re looking for getaway ideas, there are many options but consider “going to Kansas City."  Travel and Leisure Magazine says that  “Kansas City gives you serious bang for your buck."  

Who doesn’t like that?

For amazing architecture, lots of dining options and great shopping, The Country Club Plaza is a really fun destination with beautiful and affordable hotels too! We’re famous for our barbecue--be sure to stop by Jack Stack's BBQ also located on the Plaza!  And if you’re a sports fan, we have the Kansas City Royals, Kansas City Chiefs and Sporting Kansas City MLS Soccer. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is a jewel and just a few blocks away from the Plaza, ranked as one of the Top 10 Museums in the U.S.

Navigating Social Media at JCJ

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat... Where else do I need to be?

Because I want to be where you are!  The power of social media is here to stay and for a not so savvy techie like me, I have had to learn a lot and I still have a long ways to go.

Then there’s the search engines.  Which one do you most frequently use?  Google? Bing? Yahoo?

When I first opened my store on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, I thought all I needed was to beautifully display some gorgeous jewelry and people would come.  But we are all busy!  So I figured out quickly that I had to do more. I am so glad you have found jetcouturejewels.com and would love to hear from you about what social media sites and search engines you personally use so that I can be sure to stay in touch with you and your friends.

To all of the Wonderful Mothers

"Of all the gifts that life has to offer, a loving Mother is the greatest of them all." (Author Unknown)

At Jet we love pearls and Moms do too!  As a Designer, they are one of my favorite mediums to create a beautiful piece of jewelry.  In so many ways, pearls remind me of Mothers and their children. They don't have to be cut and polished like gemstones to reveal their beauty. They already are beautiful!  They are also unique in that they are not formed in the depths of the earth like other gemstones but rather in the sea and freshwater.

The pearl is born in an oyster as the result of an irritant. Usually a grain of sand finds it's way inside the oyster shell. Thus the pearl is the only precious gem in nature created through a struggle!  The oyster secretes a smooth hard substance called a "nacre" in order to protect itself.  Layer upon layer and with time, the oyster will be completely encased in "nacre" resulting in the beautiful shimmering gem that we call a pearl.  

Does this sound like a Mother and child?  Like you and your Mom?

Pearls, like our Mother's love are strong, wise and resilient. Even though life presents many challenges and struggles, Mother's lay down 'nacre' and in the end a rare and beautiful pearl emerges just like you did.

The pearl is a symbol of unblemished perfection, purity and wisdom. It is the oldest known gemstone and has always been a highly valued object of beauty thus long exchanged as a special gift. Jet Pearl Jewelry is enjoyed today and can be handed down to the next generation in your family, your ideal gift for for your Mom on this Mother's Day.
