In this special rerun episode of Mature Allure, Sherri O. revisits an inspiring conversation with Dana Faith, a New York City jewelry designer and founder of Dana Faith Jewelry.

Dana shares how her journey into jewelry design began unexpectedly while she was working in fashion and exploring her Buddhist practice. What started as a creative spark grew into a meaningful jewelry brand rooted in connection, individuality, and self-expression.

Throughout the conversation, Dana opens up about her design process, her love of nature, color, gemstones, and handcrafted details, and why every piece she creates carries a personal story. From her signature handmade heart necklaces to custom “breathe” pieces and jewelry inspired by ancient female warriors, Dana’s work celebrates strength, femininity, and authenticity, creating ageless style after 40.

This episode is especially powerful for women over 40 who are embracing reinvention, creativity, personal style, and the freedom to express themselves without limits.

We talk about:

• Dana’s unexpected transition from fashion to jewelry design

• How nature, color, customers, and New York City inspire her work

• The meaning behind her signature handmade heart jewelry

• Why no two handcrafted pieces are ever exactly alike

• The difference between costume, demi-fine, gold-filled, and fine jewelry

• How jewelry can hold memory, healing, identity, and emotional meaning

• Why women should wear what they love at every age

• Advice for anyone considering jewelry design as a second career

• Dana also shares her thoughts on ageless style after 40 and why women should stop following outdated rules about what they “should” wear as they mature. Her message is clear: if a piece makes you feel beautiful, powerful, or connected to yourself—wear it.

Listen to this rerun episode for an inspiring conversation about handmade jewelry, creative reinvention, meaningful design, ageless style, and the power of wearing pieces that tell your story.
