close to my heart

                                            necklace and both charms - Stella Salvador


i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
                                                      i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
both of these charms mean so much to me.
both are a gift to myself, from myself.
i first bought the larger charm and had e. e. cummings poem inscribed with my husband's initials and our anniversary. i wore this necklace when i gave birth to our son- it is so simple and so meaningful to me, and it's clean design makes it the perfect everyday necklace that you never want to take off--the fact that i got to decide what was hand-stamped into it makes it that much more personal.
i then ordered the smaller 'j' because i wanted to wear something for jude, but i couldn't bear to not wear my larger charm. i hate how two necklace chains tend to tangle, and i love the way the metals look together (the j charm is actually gold).

jewelry can be such a profound part of an outfit. don't get me wrong, i adore statement pieces, but i will always be a sucker for clean, wearable ones that give that special touch to anything you wear!
