Heller Jewelers has announced the expansion of its Always Dream Collection with four new designs, now available in 14-karat yellow gold. 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. This expansion into earrings, rings, and a bracelet provides clients with new ways to wear and share a message of hope, ambition, and confidence while supporting a charitable cause.
Each new piece centers on the North Star from the Always Dream logo, a symbol of hope and a guiding light. Crafted in 14-karat yellow gold and set with diamonds, the designs are intended to pair with the original Always Dream necklaces for a layered, coordinated look. The new items include the Always Dream Earrings, featuring diamond-lined huggie hoops that suspend a pavé diamond North Star; the Always Dream Oval Signet Ring, a modern take on the classic signet with a sculpted North Star rising from a high-polish oval face framed by diamonds; the Always Dream Round Signet Ring, a bold pavé diamond North Star set against a mirror-polished round face and encircled by diamonds; and the Always Dream Paperclip Bracelet, which combines a half paperclip chain with a fine double-strand chain, joined by a diamond-set ring and finished with a pavé diamond North Star charm.
The partnership between Heller Jewelers and Always Dream reflects a shared commitment to community impact. "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," said Scott Heller, President of Heller Jewelers. Kristi Yamaguchi, Olympic gold medalist and founder of 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."
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. This initiative is particularly significant given the ongoing need for early childhood literacy resources. By purchasing these pieces, consumers can directly contribute to improving literacy rates and fostering family engagement, turning a luxury purchase into a meaningful act of philanthropy.
The new designs are available now at Heller Jewelers at City Center Bishop Ranch in San Ramon and online. This expansion not only broadens the collection's aesthetic appeal but also reinforces the power of business-nonprofit partnerships in driving social good. As Heller Jewelers continues to give back, it sets an example for other retailers to integrate charitable giving into their core operations, demonstrating that commerce and community support can thrive together.
