From the Sunday Taylor Times, December 2025
Damn. Another year down... what a year!!! From wild custom projects to new designs that found their forever homes (and a few live rent free in my mind), 2025 was full of pinch me moments.
Sooo, let's take a walk down mem lane, shall we?
Lots of boat rides
Yes, there was caviar. Don't ask silly questions.
The Bella Hadid liking our reel
Lots of holy sh*t, did that just happen screaming at the LFJ HQ.
Casually slaying daily fits
Leaning into more and more in every aspect of my life.
Designed a fav custom piece for Paizley
A true fever dream. If you haven't already, it's time to stalk @paizleylaura on Instagram.
Celebrated 2 years of LFJ
Umm, how TF did that happen?
My favorite part
Helped so many of you find your dream jewelry again and again. I'm the luckiest girl alive.
The jewelry trends that defined 2025
From my design desk, here's what everyone kept asking for this year.
- Heavy gold. Chunky bands, thick settings, real weight on the hand. Finally.
- Antique cuts. Old mine and old European cuts with that soft, romantic sparkle. Here's my guide to old mine cuts.
- Lab grown center stones. Bigger diamonds for less, so the budget can go into the setting. Lab vs. mined, explained.
- Pinky rings. Signets everywhere. Read the history.
- Charms and layering. Necklaces that tell a story, built one charm at a time.
- Custom everything. More of you wanted a ring nobody else has. Here's how custom works.
It's been one of those years that reminds me why I love doing this. If there's one thing I learn again & again, it's that I am made to: talk about, design and wear diamonds... forever!! Until the end of time!!
See you in 2026. I love you guys!!!
