“She’s been through more hell than you’ll ever know. But that’s what gives her beauty an edge… You can’t touch a woman who can wear pain like the grandest of diamonds around her neck.” Alfa H, Abandoned Breaths
Lately I’ve been thinking of my life and what it’s been like. It hasn’t always been easy, but that’s just it…who really has an easy life?
All of us at some point in time have had to struggle, the only difference is what our struggle looks like. For some, it’s entrepreneurship and for others, it could be dealing with something like anorexia (as was the case for I).
But you know what, it really doesn’t matter WHAT we are dealing with… what matters most is what we do moving on.
Do we “wear our struggles” around our neck and use whatever experience we have to help others OR do we simply give in or give up?
So I don’t know about you, but I think we should wear our struggles around our neck like diamonds… which REMAIN beautiful regardless of how they are handled. Let’s use our struggles to help others and not let ourselves hide what we’ve learned along the way.
Bringing me to my next blog about DIAMONDS.
So I don’t know about you, but I’ve always loved diamonds… even as a kid. Funny story, but when I was younger I used to go shopping for Mother’s Day with my Dad. He didn’t know what he was ever in for as I ALWAYS chose the most expensive diamond necklaces and watches. Back then, it was perfectly okay to do so as my dad was paying!
But now, quite a lot has changed… between then and now, my parents got divorced and I’ve gotten quite a bit older.
And now, it’s harder to find HIGH QUALITY pieces to give when Mother’s day comes that I can afford.
But thankfully, I’ve found another option… AUrate jewelry. Have you heard of them before?
If Not, You Must Read on About AUrate New York!
AUrate New York is an affordable jewelry brand that was created by two friends. It was created with the vision to “do better, make beautiful things, and use AUrate to create meaningful, positive change.”
And that, they did.
What is AUrate?
AUrate is an online jewelry store that carries a variety of different pieces that are of high quality without the hefty price tag.
What do I mean? They carry real gold, SI-clarity diamonds and akoya pearls that are all handcrafted in NYC. They only finest materials and all come with a lifetime guarantee.
And while there’s a lot to be said about the company just by looking at their website and how they started out, one thing that sticks out is that they give back with every purchase made.** Meaning, for every purchase, they provide a book to children and schools within the city.
Sounds like a win-win situation, doesn’t it?
So Rather Than Tell You More about the Company, Let Me Show You What I Ordered This Time… Let’s Talk About This Diamond Necklace Around My Neck
So I recently ordered this diamond necklace to match my bracelet. And I was just as impressed as the first time.

Bracelet: Diamond Bezel Bracelet
My Experience:
Same experience as the last time: fast, precise, and up-to-par of what I’d expect. And as last time, I loved the gorgeous pink packaging in which their jewelry comes in. (Just look below!)
The Piece Itself…
The piece itself is absolutely stunning and is of high quality. The chain is relatively delicate, but because of the lifetime guarantee I’m not too concerned. And the diamond of this PARTICULAR piece is small, but I chose this piece knowing that I could then WEAR it around without worrying about losing it. (Here’s a diamond necklace with a bit more oomph: Click Here!)
So Is It Worth the Buy?
One word… Yes! This diamond necklace is a simple yet elegant piece that I’ll definitely wear as an everyday piece. Because it’s SIMPLE, it can go with any outfit and/or be layered for more of an effect. The price of $320 is pretty decent for this particular piece which is 14K rose gold and which contains a diamond). Combined with a lifetime guarantee and the fact that AUrate gives back, it seems like a win-win situation for me.
But You Can Save More Money!
I loved this line and I think you (or your mom) will love it too! But it does get expensive at Mother’s Day, and I want you to save even more! So I’ve done a bit of research and found a coupon code for 10% off which is HELLO10. I truly hope that you use this code to good use and that this allows you to give and/or wear a piece of jewelry that makes you FEEL good.
I hope you love it as much as I do and if you choose to buy, tag me (@AFITANDFABULOUSMICHELE) in your photos, I’d love to see you try!
With Love Always,
Michele
