 I believe beauty comes from within.Ann Ferrara web_1.jpg

I believe in God, his creation and that I am truly unique and special.

I believe in making the best use of the gifts and talents I was born with.

I believe in integrity, self discipline, and respecting myself and others.

I believe true success will come to me when I work hard and persevere at my goals.

I believe a positive and loving attitude is true beauty, and it comes from within.

In summer the fields around Franklin in Saint Mary’s Parish, are waist high rows of frond-covered stalks that a northerner may mistake as sloppy corn.

Any Southern, worth their salt, knows the fields are sugarcane, an industry that brought great riches to the region.Today Saint Mary’s Parish is the “Sugar Bowl” of Louisiana, this

sweetheart of a parish is the most thriving sugarcane farming region in Louisiana, a state that produces 20% of the sugar in the United States.

Sweet Evangeline… Louisiana my home, sweet home

Every great city has great food, music, festivals and culture. It’s the same in New Orleans, only better, richer and sweeter.

Return to New Orleans, if you carry her – the Jewel of the South; the Queen of Dixie – in your heart.

Return to New Orleans, if you love to celebrate the world’s biggest party by raising your hands high in the air shouting “throw me something mister; it’s Mardi Gras!”

Return to New Orleans, if you love to listen to blues, jazz or zydeco, and allow yourself to be transported into a magical moment where time is no more.

Return to New Orleans, and gaze upon the city’s beauty – her French, Spanish and Creole architecture; her southern strength and nobility – where her graceful wrought iron designs whisper her culture.

Return to New Orleans, and tantalize your taste buds with mouth watering seafood, richly spiced dishes, and beignets.

Return to New Orleans, and you will refer to everyone as “cher,” where everything is “precious,” where young people acknowledge their elders by first name, preceded with a polite “Mr.” or “Ms,” where no one gossips but “catches up,” and where everyone says “bless your heart,” and means it, in every conversation.

Return to New Orleans. Visit when you can and stay awhile. New Orleans… a city that truly knows how to embrace life in a lagniappe (a little something extra) way. It’s what the city is all about, a city that wants to share its joy with others.

New Orleans based designer Anne Dale introduces

“I Believe” the self-esteem pendant.

InnerBeautyPend Blk_1.jpg(New Orleans, Louisiana) The Self-esteem pendant is simply a hand covering a portion of the face as to shield a perceived imperfection. Anne believes the pressures placed on our youth (by popular culture) to “be perfect” have never been higher, and this pendant sends the message, “you are beautiful just the way you are.”

The back of the sterling silver pendant is engraved with, “Beauty Comes From Within” followed by a heart symbol and Anne Dale’s signature. A small card will be included explaining the meaning of the piece with each pendant.

The primary target market is young girls from junior high to college age, but this piece is nice enough for any age and is also available as a lapel pin for the guys.

Phantom of the OperaA portion of the proceeds goes into the Anne Dale Jeweler for a Cause Fund.
New Orleans based Anne Dale raised over $175,000 in hurricane relief money with her New Orleans Collection designs. The New Orleans Collection was so successful Anne Dale and Stuller, Inc. are teaming-up again to develop a larger designer line, “Anne Dale Jeweler for a Cause.”

The “I Believe” pendant is just one of a Anne Dale’s original designs that have significant specific meaning, related to worthy causes raising both money and awareness for non-profit groups in need.
