Love Will Win: 15 Love Quotes from Black History Makers
Some might argue that the jewelry business is a materialistic industry, but at the end of the day, our business exists because of love. A diamond ring, a gorgeous necklace, a statement earring—these pieces are purchased on the basis of love. Whether it’s an exchange between two people to say I love you or a purchase for oneself as an act of self-love, these beautiful gestures would not come about without love.
What’s happening in the world goes far beyond jewelry, however. Over the past few weeks, an overdue movement in the right direction is taking place as those who were once silent in their neutrality have become loud as they join the fight and be allies for communities in great need. We stand in solidarity with the Black community as we raise our voices, platforms, resources and time to help take action for a future of equality and justice.
To honor love, and to honor our Black community, we’ve gathered some meaningful quotes from authors and figureheads. We hope you enjoy this reprieve and return to reality invigorated by love’s unmistakable power to move mountains and ignite change.
