Affirmative Fashion
Tossing coins in a fountain may just be wishful thinking, but wear these handmade, coin-like pendants and you're making a more meaningful declaration of your essence and desires. One of the pendants is embossed with the words I AM, and the other is custom embossed with a word or name of your choice (up to 8 characters each). Add as many additional pendants as you want, to express the whole range of your nature.
A special way to keep your personal truth, hopes, or mantra front and center in your life, this necklace resonated powerfully with our Voting Tool users, many of whom submitted their own "I AM" affirmations: I AM thankful, I AM present, I AM enough, I AM learning, I AM strong, I AM unique, I AM fierce, and more. What will your declaration be? Handmade in Connecticut.

Maryann Dolzani
Maryann was listening to a song her husband wrote (who is a very talented musician). In the song some of the lyrics are 'I am broken....I am learning'. She realized how we all have are 'I AM' statements. Some that hold us back and others that keep us present and help us move forward. She envisioned a way to share that message through jewelry and photography. I AM MARYANN was born. Each I AM MARYANN piece is created to provide you with your own personal mantra. Some of you will have one word that resonates for you and others will have many. It's a wonderful process that people go through when they are thinking about and picking out the words they feel, want and need in their lives. I AM MARYANN is much more than jewelry to Maryann. It's about the message. Jewelry is the vehicle to share and connect with others. The intent is for you to wear this beautiful design and be reminded each day of your 'I AM' statement. See all creations.

My personal I am Maryann design reads "I am Fabulous". I love putting on my beautiful necklace everyday, not only because it's very fashionable, but because it reminds me to be my personal best! As a mother of 3 young children, owner of my own preschool and a wife for 13 years, I have try my very best to be as FABULOUS as I can! Thanks Maryann for inspiring!

Maryann has clearly come up with an elegant way for people to express their strengths and feelings, and to wear them in a self-empowering way for all to see. In this time of economic challenge and as we face the emotional chellange of the 10th year Anniversary of 9/11, everyone can use a positive emotional lift. Go Maryann!!

We're loving all of the great feedback that's already coming in for our Jewelry Design Challenge semi-finalists! How would you fill in the blank: "I am..."?

These 'conversation' and 'mother's' and 'grandmother's' charm necklaces are everywhere, overdone and let's move on, shall we?
Toni
I love the "I am Maryann" pieces - they are beautiful and different and personal, and they are designed and made by Maryann, who is one of the nicest and most genuine people I know. The inspiration for her design and pieces is very touching and comes from the heart and is evident through her work and life.

"I am" something different every day - and this necklace is such a simple and powerful way to symbolize that. It is an engaging, impactful message for people to participate in. Everyday is something different - and that is ok. That in itself is a powerful thought. The jewelry designs really touched me deeply, and have made me reflect on my daily thoughts - what do I want my manta to be? And does that mantra reflect my daily actions? I AM THANKFUL.

I agree...these stamped jewelry peices are overdone and tired.

I like the "I Am Lucky," but could do without "I Am Sweet."

The beauty is YOU determine what your I AM mantra is. It's your choice. Some popular choices are: I AM FEARLESS, I AM LEARNING, I AM ENOUGH, I AM CALM AND some have picked just I AM. Very powerful. XO

I really love this necklace and the idea of having one or many words to live by. The price does seem high and I don't think this is an "uncommon" good and there are so many statement necklaces.

Hi Peggy. The charms come in both sterling silver and gold filled. There is a picture you can click on above to see what the sterling looks like. I also offer leather cord options. Thanks for your support. I AM GRATEFUL.

It's not that unique and the sayings are smarmy, sorry. Also too expensive for what it is.

Vote: Thumbs up!
Elizabth- thanks for your feedback. The I AM statements (saying) are yours to pick. Here are some examples of others: I AM ENOUGH, I AM HEALING, I AM GRATEFUL, I AM LIVING, I AM CALM and I AM LEARNING. It's up to the customer to search for their own personal mantra. I AM____. I AM CURIOUS (what yours might be?)

I am fortunate to hear wonderful stories from my customers on what these 'words' mean to them. I thought I would share a few... One customer has Stage 4 Cancer and wears her 'I AM HEALED' necklace to her Chemo appts. Another came out of a bad relationship and has found strength to move on 'I AM STRONG'. Another survived cancer and proudly wears her 'I AM ALIVE'. There is UNIQUE story behind each personal mantra I create. I AM HONORED. XO

Love the philosophy behind the line, the I AM .... it leaves alot of doors open to possibilities. But it looks delicate and priced too high. If it was 40/45 I would so get this.
