Is There An Angel In Your Life?
 
Yes, there is truly an angel in my life. I do not see him every day, nor do we share words or hugs. He is keeping a promise he made to me, as well as checking in to reassure me that he is fine. My angel is my beloved late father.
 
Prior to his death, he and I made a pact. He had been tragically ill for six years, but he cheated death many, many times during those horrid years. I asked him if we could make a deal that whichever one of us died first, the other would receive a sign, if possible, that he/she was okay. He said yes. And it was possible, because he came to me numerous times. My father, unseen but felt, let me know of his presence via the scent of his Dove soap, the masculine scent of his Polo cologne, the weight on the edge of the bed when I woke that almost caused me to roll off. His visits came at unexpected times and caught me off guard. Quickly stopping in to let me know that he is doing fine and, most likely, nudging me to stop grieving.
 
The very first visit came while I was recovering from emergency surgery not even two weeks after his death. A trip to the surgeon's for a follow-up was the moment he chose to be with me. I was wildly hitting my husband's arm when I smelled the all-too-familiar scent of Daddy, while crying out, "Daddy's here! Daddy's here!" It all seems unbelievable to those who do not or will not believe. But there are no other logical explanations for what has occurred.
 
He was, is, and will always be my hero. And he has proven that he is still what he always was: A man of his word...and my angel.
-Nikki Kelly

Nearly seventy years ago, the Candela jewelry house was founded by the three Candela brothers in Valencia, Spain. The company name was Candela Hermanos, and it quickly became one of the world’s largest manufacturers of karat gold jewelry in that region. For several generations the Candela family has been at the forefront of European jewelry design and manufacturing. The success of Candela is credited to the expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. The name “Candela” is synonymous with fine Spanish jewelry. With this heritage, it is no wonder that daughter Andréa, was inspired to create the  Andréa Candela  Collection of fine jewelry. In 1979, Candela Hermanos expanded to the United States under the name Candela Jewelry Inc.

Today,  Andréa Candela  brings customers beautiful jewelry that is universally acknowledged to

October's Birthstone: The Opal

The word comes from the Latin opalus, meaning "precious jewel." Each Opal is truly one-of-a-kind; as unique as our fingerprints. Some prefer the calming flashes of blues and greens; others love the bright reds and yellows. With its rainbow of colors, as you turn and move the Opal the color plays and shifts, giving you a gem that can be worn with a plethora of ensembles.
