Heller Jewelers, a family-owned fine jewelry retailer based in San Ramon, California, has announced the expansion of its Always Dream Collection with four new designs. The collection, created in partnership with Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi and her nonprofit, Kristi Yamaguchi's Always Dream, was first introduced in 2024 as a trio of necklaces. It now includes earrings, rings, and a bracelet, offering clients new ways to wear and share its message of hope, ambition, and confidence. The new pieces are crafted in 14-karat yellow gold and set with diamonds, and each centers on the North Star from the Always Dream logo, a symbol of hope and a guiding light.
The expansion introduces the Always Dream Earrings, diamond-lined 14-karat yellow gold huggie hoops that suspend a pavé diamond North Star which moves with every turn of the head. The Always Dream Oval Signet Ring offers a modern take on the classic signet, featuring a sculpted North Star rising from a high-polish oval face framed by a halo of diamonds. The Always Dream Round Signet Ring serves as the collection's statement ring, with a bold pavé diamond North Star set against a mirror-polished round face and encircled by diamonds. Finally, the Always Dream Paperclip Bracelet combines a half paperclip chain with a half fine double-strand chain, joined by a diamond-set ring and finished with a pavé diamond North Star charm. These designs pair well with the original Always Dream necklaces for a layered, coordinated look.
Proceeds from the Always Dream Collection support Always Dream's Always Reading program, which provides parents and caring adults across the San Francisco Bay Area and Hawai'i with tools and support to build a love of reading with their children at home. Scott Heller, President of Heller Jewelers, stated, "We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Kristi and Always Dream with these newly designed creations. Giving back to our community, especially for organizations focused on children and education, continues to be a core pillar of our business." Kristi Yamaguchi, Olympic gold medalist and founder of Kristi Yamaguchi's Always Dream, added, "I'm so grateful to partner with Heller Jewelers once again to expand the Always Dream Collection. Scott's designs are beautiful, and they also reflect a commitment Always Dream and Heller share: inspiring our community and making a lasting impact."
The new designs are available now at Heller Jewelers at City Center Bishop Ranch in San Ramon and online. This expansion not only offers consumers elegant jewelry options but also directly supports early childhood literacy, reinforcing the importance of corporate social responsibility. Heller Jewelers, which has served the Tri-Valley and greater Bay Area for 30 years, continues to demonstrate a deep commitment to giving back to the community through this partnership. The Always Dream Collection's growth highlights how businesses can leverage their platforms to address social issues, in this case, improving literacy rates among children. As the collection gains visibility, it may inspire other companies to pursue similar collaborations that blend commerce with philanthropy, ultimately benefiting educational programs and the communities they serve.
