๐ Day 20 of Gratitude... and the Dream Becomes Reality. ๐
Twenty years ago, Ari Originals began with a simple love of creating jewelry with meaning and purpose. I never could have imagined where this journey would lead or how many incredible people would become part of the story.
As I wrap up my 20 Days of Gratitude, it feels only fitting that today I'm sharing something I've been dreaming about for a long time...
๐ Welcome to the brand-new Ari Originals โ Beading with a Purpose website! ๐
This website is more than an online shop. It's a place where you can explore the stories behind the jewelry, discover the meaning of the gemstones, learn about upcoming classes, and experience the heart behind everything I create.
โจ You'll also find a page featuring all of my wonderful retail partners. If you've ever wondered where you can shop Ari Originals in person, they're all listed in one convenient place. I hope you'll show these amazing local businesses some loveโthey've helped make this dream possible.
๐ I'd love your help celebrating!
Visit the website, look around, and then take a screenshot of your favorite page. Post your screenshot in the comments below, and you'll be entered into one of the prize drawings beginning tomorrow!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your encouragement, your friendships, your support, and for believing in my dream over these past 20 years. Because of you, Ari Originals has become so much more than jewelryโit's a community built on purpose, connection, and gratitude.
I can't wait for you to explore the new website, and I'm so excited to celebrate this milestone with all of you. Here's to the next chapter! ๐

A HUGE shout out to my hubby Byron Ariyaratnam for building this website for me! It was a LARGE labor of love and I'm soo appreciative of his hours of work for me! If you need a website or an app for your business, he is your guy!
