Hey there! Today, I want to talk about the many differences between wearing heavy vs. lightweight jewelry.
When I was in my 20s and 30s, I never thought about how heavy my jewelry was. I used to go to the mall, buy what I liked and wear it all day. When I got home, I couldn’t wait to take everything off: jewelry, shoes, makeup. I’d put on socks and yoga pants, and then I could relax. It felt like a ton of weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I started to notice the pains from the day melting away.
There’s a saying, “pain is beauty, and beauty is pain,” but I don’t agree with it at all. I’ve always believed a woman is most beautiful when she is comfortable. So, now I’ve created a line of jewelry that feels weightless all day long.
Heavy jewelry has too many negatives and causes a lot of problems for the person wearing it. One example: heavy earrings can cause headaches. They can also ear through your earlobes. I meet so many women who’ve torn through their ear lobes, even as young as twenty! Imagine the kind of damage it can do to a person who has been wearing them even later in their life.
So be kind to yourself and lighten up with some lightweight jewelry! Here are a few of my favorites:

3 Tips to Keep Waterproof Jewelry Looking NEW
June 30, 2023
Hi,
So you know that Oh, So Fitting's waterproof pieces are designed to be worn in the pool, ocean, hot-tub, etc. They will stand up to the GA heat and keep on going!
However, here are a couple tips to keep your pieces in tip top shape:
1. This is a BIG one, even though I do it all the time. Letting your jewelry jiggle around in your purse for weeks is a recipe for having it break. Plus it's likely to get snagged on something. If you have to do it, then place it in a small bag (like the one it came in) to protect it.
2. Did you know that little white bag that came with your purchase can also be used to polish your pieces? If you can't find it then used an old tee shirt. If it's feeling especially dirty, soak your jewelry in warm water and mild dish soap.
3. Look at the jump rings holding your necklace or earrings together. Do any look like they are loose or coming open? If so send me an email or stop by any event and I'll tighten them.

How to accessorize when it's HOT & HUMID
June 13, 2023
Hi There,
If you are anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere then you know it's starting to heat up. I went outside to paint for an hour this morning and came back in dripping. How did that happen??
So, if you are going anywhere other than your back yard, then you want to look polished. But you don't want to worry that metal's natural enemies (heat and water) are going to destroy your jewelry. What should you do? Read on!
1. You don't want to have to worry about the heat and humidity harming your jewelry. What if you go for a dip in the ocean? You need stainless steel jewelry that can stand up to that!
2. When it's hot and sticky, the last thing you want to feel is your jewelry. Forget chunky jewelry and go for lightweight statement pieces! All Oh, So Fitting pieces are designed for you to forget that you're wearing them.
3. Pastels? Jewel tones? Neutrals? All of the above? (we've got them all!)
4. Do you like a tiny drop? Hoops? Pick ones that make you happy when you wear them!
