"Dear" is a play on words to convey it's dual meaning: the term of affection and the salutation.

Dear Southern Lady is a platform to showcase a lovely collection of jewelry, ranging from antique pieces to hand-selected manufactured collections to exclusive pieces that I have personally designed. 

Jewelry is fun and exciting. It's meaningful and treasured. It's personality and expression of style. Even still, I wanted Dear Southern Lady to be more.
