They told you the lily pond was just a myth—but curiosity led you there anyway. Beneath the moonlight, you heard their song and saw them waltzing across the water… golden silhouettes against a dreamscape of reeds and reflection.

The Prince Charming Necklace by Vivienne Charles captures that magical moment of discovery. Frogs mid-dance, reaching tenderly for one another, dangle from hand-dyed silk cords in mossy hues that echo the hush of an enchanted forest. Wear it to summon childlike wonder, and to remember that some fairy tales begin with a quiet leap into the unknown.

Straight from Italy to the Upper West Side, Ricccardo and Gabriele launched Pizza Collective in the middle of a global pandemic—and somehow made it thrive. Their dream of opening a Roman-style pizzeria was nearly derailed in March 2020, but instead of giving up, they pushed forward. On May 15, 2020, they opened their doors with a menu full of bold flavors, inventive vegan options, and a sourdough base that’s light, crunchy, and completely addictive.

We were lucky enough to taste it in our Goldman Sachs 10KSB class this week, and am obsessed. If you haven’t been, trust me—this is your new UWS go-to.

Whether you’re honoring a personal win, a new chapter, or simply yourself, let your jewelry be as intentional as you are. Because buying for yourself isn’t selfish. It’s self-honoring.
