March is Woman’s History Month!! While we have come a long way, this past year shed light on how fragile our autonomy is and how much further we must go.
This month's content mission is focused on amplifying "Her Story," aka YOUR story, because representation matters.
We have written dozens of notes celebrating the people in our lives, but how many letters have you written celebrating yourself? Take stock, celebrate your journey, and mark it in solid C+C gold. That piece around your neck, close to your heart, on your finger, and ear that reminds you to keep going is your everyday armor.
Thank you to those that took on this Mission! I hope you take the time to show yourself some love.
Let’s celebrate our journey this March, and every month.
Love, Kadee Social Media Coordinator, Cut + Clarity
I never set out to create a brand. I was and still am in love with manufacturing. Creating fuels me. Going from concept to complete execution is why I truly fell in love with the jewelry industry. In my early 20s, my boss threw me to the wolves. I was our company's Jewelry Director of Production, responsible for creating relationships with our manufacturers in Italy and China. I was intimidated and nervous and had to learn to navigate the nuances of 2 very different yet similarly male-dominated cultures.
Here are some of the things I learned. You cannot fast-forward experience -you have to live it. Bad experiences teach you how to create good ones and are necessary to learning. Other people's opinion of you is none of your business. Progress may seem slow, but progress is progress. Keep going!

"Let us break free from societal constraints and embrace our individuality. ...jewelry has no gender!!! @by.giancarlo
Los Angeles Creative
This June let's break barriers and lets be fully self expressed. Our collection launches for Men's Mental Health awareness month and we have some amazing partnerships in store.
Our stories are unique and beautiful yet we often feel like we are not worthy enough to share them Continuing from last years "Year of Self Love" we are excited to introduce Clarity Chats. Clarity Chats is a safe + anonymous place for us to share our stories without fear of judgment Our goal is to realize that we are not alone, and to foster deeper conversations around sensitive topics that promote empathy + understanding. Join us in creating a more open and understanding world, one story at a time.
Our V-Day Market was an amazing success. Not only did we connect with friends like @thenewyorkstyist, @_wellaaa and @marnie_rustemeyer, but we had exclusive products just for the event and introduced our newest pieces.

"The woman who does not require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet." This quote has kept me going in this male-dominated business I have been in for almost 2 decades.
"Be the woman who fixes another woman's crown without telling the world it was crooked.".
"A woman who knows what she brings to the table is not afraid to eat alone.” Having confidence in yourself is key to navigating through life with or without someone.
"Your imperfections are actually a gift."

“Blue Eye” In January!!
If you would've asked me four years ago what being a woman meant to me, l'm not sure that I could've come up with an answer - at least my own answer. I probably would've regurgitated something surface level that I'd heard someone else say, like "being a woman means being able to do anything a man could do". Which definitely isn't wrong, but as I've grown and developed my sense of self, I can confidently say that my view of what it means to be a woman has grown deeper and solidified.
Being a woman means being unapologetically yourself, especially in this day and age. For centuries, women were stifled - only given a place to speak and be where it was deemed appropriate. To be a woman in 2023 is to honor the women who broke the glass ceiling before us, as we continue to rise and shatter expectations. Being a woman means being resistant, a force to be reckoned with.
More than anything, being a woman is complex. It's dynamic, and powerful, and inspirational, and while at times it can be scary, ultimately being a woman is about being who you are to your very core. Women contain multitudes, and you can't put us in a little box. We're multifaceted, and we can be whatever and whoever we want. Womanhood is a beautiful, magical thing and I am so proud to be a woman.
I have so much to tell you…
We dedicated last month to sharing love + Connecting! It was so fun to see online friendships blossom into real life relationships.
This fashion week we opened up the C+C Vault for Maal's special guest appearance at the NYFW Spring Event and let’s just say… he did not disappoint.
We prioritize QUALITY vs quantity. DO post content that resonates. DON'T post content for the sake of posting. All posts must be:
High Resolution
Visually pleasing
Tell your story
Showcase our jewelry
*Please ensure that all images and videos are well-lit and restrain from over-editing/filtering
C+C does not request exclusivity since we are a long-term partner; however, we request that any C+C promotional posts are not commingled with other jewelry brands. Any post (Static, carousel images, reels, TikToks or story series) that is commingled will not earn you any points towards BAM cash.
Cut + Clarity is a purpose-driven company that empowers individuals to express themselves through personalized jewelry. We believe that jewelry should tell your unique story, and we are dedicated to providing a platform for underrepresented people + women to share their narratives. Our commitment to authenticity extends beyond our products to include genuine connections with our customers and community Cut + Clarity is dedicated to creating jewelry that represents the diverse experiences and perspectives of real people.
