Every woman’s journey is as unique as she is—each moment of joy, surprise twist and turn, hard-earned success, or unexpected bump in the road makes her the beautifully unique person she is. But as women, we have more in common than it might seem. We all have moments where we discover pieces of who we are—and each of those moments is an achievement that deserves to be honored. We might be biased, but we think a piece of stunning diamond jewelry serves as the ultimate reminder of your path and accomplishment. Here, we’re breaking down a few of those life-changing moments of realization and what we’d wear to celebrate.

Sometimes you get to know yourself—your true, authentic self—on a college campus. Sometimes it happens while traveling the world. Sometimes it happens while in service of others. And sometimes it takes a dramatic transformation, or even a loss. Whatever the catalyst in your life, when you find yourself, you discover this: An unshakeable sense of who you are and what you’re made of. 

What ignites your soul? True passion is purpose, energy, and power. It motivates and drives us. Unharnessed, it can change the world. Whether your passion plays out as a creative fire inside or an unstoppable career, it deserves to be fueled and reminded of its potential.

It’s undeniable—to love and be loved is one of life’s greatest joys. Your version might be saying “I do” to your high school sweetheart. Or it might be the birth of a child and the feeling that your heart has grown tenfold. Or it might be deeply entwined in a beautiful friendship or the close bonds in your community. However love presents itself in your life, embrace it—and elevate it as the blessing it is.

Self expression is about showing what’s on the inside on the outside. It’s a celebration of freedom and imagination, a reflection that can be rich in symbolism, steeped in style, and inspired by art. There’s no statement quite like owning the uniqueness of your spirit and expressing it to the world.

We believe every woman was born to shine—and that in every woman, there’s an abundance of love and passion alongside a desire for self-expression and exploration. REEDS’ co-founder and matriarch, Roberta Zimmer, was a shining example of these characteristics—so we’re celebrating her spirit and the grace and fortitude of women everywhere with the introduction of the Roberta Z Collection. With it, we honor the woman who inspired us 75 years ago and still does today.
