MoDyves jewelry creation is composed of two-faced gemstone pendants and necklaces with healing properties lavished in white, yellow, and pink 18K gold . These are one-of-a-kind piece that can be worn as two different styles due to the unique setting of the two-faced stones that touch the skin. A portion of the proceeds from MoDyves Collection will go to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
