Renzi appears on page 36 in her own clothing and Me&Ro jewelry along with an array of products she recommends, from key clothing pieces, such as her favorite vintage slip, to affordable staple items, like Badger Baby Balm. The 18K Gold Custom Picture Pendant is her Me&Ro jewelry pick that is available online and at Me&Ro retail stores. Renzi is one of many famous role model moms to be in Cookie, a magazine founded in 2005 as the go-to resource for modern parents, offering not only high style for kids, but also meaty and interesting stories and essays about the shape and face of the modern family.

Designer Robin Renzi traveled
to India to find these beautiful rare
natural diamonds. Flat Diamonds are

and appreciate the individual characteristics
as nature intended. Inspired from
old traditional Indian jewelry, the
diamonds have been set in 18K gold
in their natural shape on chains,
earrings, rings and a floral pendant.
