Altered States

State of Mine Necklaces

There’s definitely no place like home.

Where else on earth can you eat every meal in your pj’s, watch hours of Court TV, and receive unlimited (and unsolicited) commentary on your career choice and love life?

So even though it’s no wonder you prefer to love it from afar, State of Mine helps you keep it close to your heart with their home-state necklaces. Pick one of the 49 state charms (kala mai ia‘u, Hawaii) and add a diamond to show off your hometown. Or chose the charm of the continental U.S. and place the sparkler in your home state to represent.

Other ways to pay tribute include a made-to-order “I heart” charm with the abbreviation for your state and a customized ring that can feature your city, state, or zip codes.

Whatever you decide, mom and pop will appreciate the props.

Especially since you’ll finally have something to write home about.
