I fell in love with Virgins, Saints & Angels jewelry collection during an event I attended for their special collaboration with ABC’s Once Upon a Time series. While the special edition pieces were more ornate crowns, combs and jewels, in the corner of my eye I spotted their St. Christopher Locket and I knew it had to be mine!
