Always Dream Collection by Heller Jewelers: The Inspiration Behind The Collaboration

Heller Jewelers and Kristi Yamaguchi's Always Dream have joined forces to create a one-of-a-kind collection of necklaces that support Always Dream's mission to empower children through literacy and family engagement support.  This unique collaboration features three exquisite designs featuring the Always Dream logo, symbolizing the shared vision of both organizations to make a positive impact on the lives of others. 

What is Always Dream?  

Olympic gold medalist and world-renowned figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi established Always Dream in 1996 with the mission to inspire and empower underserved children to reach their full potential through education and literacy programs. Always Dream is committed to fostering a love for reading and learning, providing opportunities for personal growth, and ultimately helping children achieve their dreams. Their work emphasizes the importance of literacy as a crucial steppingstone in shaping the future of young minds. 

Through various initiatives, Always Dream has provided thousands of children with books, educational resources, and the encouragement they need to believe in themselves and pursue their aspirations. Kristi’s personal journey as an athlete and advocate has fueled her passion for giving back, making Always Dream’s mission a deeply personal mission to change lives, one child at a time. 

Why We Created the Always Dream Necklace 

As a family-owned business, Heller Jewelers takes pride in its strong community ties and dedication to giving back. By partnering with Kristi Yamaguchi's Always Dream, we continue to uplift and inspire children while offering our customers exquisite jewelry pieces that carry a meaningful message. This partnership is a testament to the power of shared values and a collective vision for a brighter future. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of children and creating stunning pieces that will be cherished for generations to come. 

Always Dream’s commitment to fostering a love for reading and learning perfectly aligns with Heller Jewelers' dedication to crafting meaningful and inspiring pieces that tell a story. Each necklace in this collection is more than just a piece of jewelry; it is a symbol of hope, a reminder that dreams can be realized through education, and a tribute to the resilience of young minds. 

Scott and Kristi’s Design Process 

The design process for the three necklaces in the Always Dream by Heller Jewelers Collection has been a thoughtful journey from concept to creation, blending elegance and symbolism to support Always Dream's mission. Scott Heller, founder of Heller Jewelers, worked closely with Kristi Yamaguchi to ensure that each piece not only captured the essence of the Always Dream logo but also resonated with the values both Heller Jewelers and Always Dream hold dear. 

More Than Just Jewelry: A Legacy of Giving 

Heller Jewelers has a long-standing tradition of community involvement, from supporting local schools to partnering with charities that make a difference. This collaboration with Always Dream is not just another charitable endeavor; it’s a continuation of Heller Jewelers' mission to be a positive force in the community. Each necklace sold not only supports Always Dream’s literacy programs but also connects the buyer to a larger purpose—helping to shape the future of children through the power of education. 

For Heller Jewelers, jewelry is more than just adornment; it’s a way to tell stories, honor legacies, and contribute to causes that matter. The Always Dream by Heller Jewelers Collection is a shining example of how luxury and philanthropy can intertwine to create something truly special.
