Hearts & Mini Dog Tags 

styled by Erica Ligenza (@ericaligenza)

I'm such a sucker for sentimental jewelry. While in high school I'd stock up on cheap costume jewelry at Claire's Boutique, now, my taste has entirely shifted to much more minimalistic, meaningful pieces. When I first found Tiny Tags, I knew I'd just found a soon-to-be lifelong obsession.

My Mini Dog Tags are definitely one of my favorite pieces of jewelry I own; each has one of my kiddo's names on the front, with their birthday on the back. They're subtle and sweet, yet statement-making. I wear them on a 22-24" adjustable chain which makes it perfect for switching up my look or layering with a few other pieces.

In layering fine jewelry, I like to represent different elements of myself and my life that mean the most to me. I love wearing the Pave Heart Necklace in the middle of my stack, symbolizing my marriage and the love I have for my husband. Above that, I wear a Gold "Mama" Heart Necklace with my own birthstone charm added to represent that I was born to be their mama specifically - a great little reminder in some of those tougher mom moments when I feel self doubt creeping in. 

I love creating a sentimental stack that really speaks to you as a whole person. Tiny Tags makes that so easy to do! Not to mention you have the option of choosing your metal when ordering, making a truly PERFECT gift idea; you can go for that "forever" splurge, or get the look for less in a different metal and still have a beautiful piece that she'll totally love. I own both 14k gold and gold vermeil, and quality still shines in both.
