COLLECTIONS

Theresa Bruno is Jordan Alexander Jewelry. Since 2010, Bruno and her team have carefully designed her signature brands inside the casually elegant Jordan Alexander Store. On November 17th of this year, Bruno changed the face of her signature store and went multi-brand with the launch of JA Collections.

A favorite designer to the first lady, Michelle Obama, a chosen designer for the prestigious COUTURE Show and with collections housed in Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and high-end boutiques across the country - Theresa wanted something more for Birmingham. Years of forging close relationships with other jewelry designers and nurturing friendships with some of the world's most influential gem dealers, she wanted to take her brand's store and give it some extra magic.

With her global team, Bruno curated a collective of jewelry designers, traveled the world with her design team creating JA Home, and launched JA Collections with its e-commerce website, allowing those who visit it to experience Birmingham exactly the way she sees it - southern elegance with a dash of edgy glamor!

Work close to Theresa's heart is A21, an organization committed to abolishing human trafficking in the 21st Century. A21 works to stop individuals from becoming victims of human trafficking by providing awareness, education to the next generation and interrupting the demand. After carefully working alongside top influencers inside the organization, and traveling to Greece, where their headquarters are based, Bruno committed to continued support of this life-saving charity. Along with speaking engagements; Theresa has created a jewelry collection whose proceeds go to fighting these injustices through legislation. The bracelets sell for around $50, and 100% of the proceeds will go toward helping the women victimized by the trafficking.

JA Collections offers a unique experience to Birmingham with a focus on designer jewelry, home, and lifestyle. Come in and find the pieces that allow you to curate your life.

FAMILY LAW AND DIVORCE

Passion. Dedication. Reliability. Results. These are four of the founding principles that have made The Rose Law Firm the face of family law and divorce for so many clients over the years. Passion, according to founder and certified family law specialist Jennifer Rose, is at the core. She explains, “Everybody who works here has a real passion for helping people especially with family law situations because we’ve all been touched by one in our personal lives in one way or another. That passion motivates us to be the best at what we do and to do the absolute best job possible for our clients, to fight for them. I believe when you have smart people working with a passion for something, the other principles are a natural result.”

Speaking of positive results, the firm is well known for many great results in the courtroom as well as the awards circuit. The firm’s attorneys are regularly named to peer and client voted top family law attorney lists. Jennifer herself has been named, among other awards, one of the nation’s top one percent of attorneys as well as a “top family law attorney” three years running as voted on by her peers.

The firm practices family law exclusively, which covers such areas as divorce, custody, adoptions, parental rights, prenuptial agreements, and appeals in family law rulings. They are located in Birmingham’s Southside in the historic Rose Building (formerly UAB medical alumni building), which they bought and restored in 2014. They can be reached 24 hours at 205-323-1124.

175 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

Samford University’s 175-year history is one of academic excellence and leadership. National rankings for academics, affordability and value by such prestigious publications as The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education, The Economist, U.S. News & World Report and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance affirm Samford’s strong reputation as one of the premier Christian universities in the U.S and the largest private university in Alabama. The vision of the institution’s founders to provide a college of high character is as strong today as it was in the beginning. That vision is taking new root in the first major update of the university master plan since the campus moved to its current location in the 1950s. New facilities for Brock School of Business and the College of Health Sciences already are in place, and other goals will enhance the teaching and learning environment, contribute to student success, allow for growth of new and existing programs, improve campus connectivity and space utilization, and address current and ongoing maintenance while preserving the university’s nationally recognized aesthetic. Samford President Andrew Westmoreland is a nationally recognized leader in higher education, having recently received the distinguished leadership award from the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges, the regional accrediting body for more than 800 colleges and universities in 11 Southern states and an organization he led for two terms as board chair.

HOME SALES PROFESSIONALS

New homes are a dime a dozen. Well, perhaps more than a dime. But the truth is undeniable. New homes can be found anywhere and everywhere. So what makes one community of new homes more alive than another? To take inspiration from John Donne: “No man is an island...we are part of the main.� New homes that are truly alive are those that do not exist as islands in a sea of sameness, but instead live connected to an organic continent of a life-affirming diversity of people and architecture, activities and traditions. New homes that thrive have been planted in the fertile soil of authenticity, built in places where people can thrive. The communities we help create are always built around the idea that people thrive when they live in places where they can grow emotionally, physically, spiritually, intellectually and financially.
