Mon Cheri, French for 'my dear' or 'sweetheart', carries a deep significance beyond its romantic connotations.
You see, 'Cheri' is more than just a word—it's a cherished family name passed down by my beloved great aunt, Rhonda Cheri. Rhonda was an incredible woman, brimming with love and a spirited zest for life. Growing up, I admired her greatly and aspired to emulate her loving yet fiery nature. We not only shared the Cheri name but also a bond that shaped my character.
Sadly, we said goodbye to Rhonda a few years ago after her brave battle with cancer, leaving a void in my heart.
Two and a half years ago, I welcomed my own daughter, Genevieve Cheri. From the moment I knew she was on her way, I knew she would carry the Cheri legacy with grace and strength—just like Rhonda. Genevieve reminds me daily of her great, great aunt's spirit and warmth.
For me, Mon Cheri is more than a business name; it's a profound tribute to the Cheri legacy that continues to inspire me. Through my jewelry creations, I strive to imbue each piece with the same love and fire that define the Cheri women—creating pieces that resonate with passion and grace.
