Heller Jewelers has expanded its Always Dream Collection with four new designs, all crafted in 14-karat yellow gold. The collection, first introduced in 2024 as a trio of necklaces, is a partnership with Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi and her nonprofit, Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream. The expansion introduces earrings, rings and a bracelet, giving clients new ways to wear and share the collection’s message of hope, ambition and confidence.
Each new piece centers on the North Star from the Always Dream logo, a symbol of hope and a guiding light. Set with diamonds, the designs are intended to pair with the original Always Dream necklaces for a layered, coordinated look. The Always Dream Earrings feature 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, with 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. 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.
The expansion matters beyond its aesthetic appeal because proceeds from the collection support Always Dream’s Always Reading program. That initiative gives parents and caring adults across the San Francisco Bay Area and Hawai’i the tools and support to build a love of reading with their children at home. The partnership therefore ties a luxury jewelry purchase directly to early childhood literacy and family engagement, a cause that the nonprofit describes as central to its mission.
Scott Heller, President of Heller Jewelers, said, “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, said, “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. Heller Jewelers is a family-owned and operated fine jewelry and timepiece retailer that has served the Tri-Valley and greater Bay Area for 30 years. Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream is a nonprofit dedicated to early childhood literacy and family engagement, providing families with books, resources and support to make reading together a daily habit.
