EXPRESS Jaqueline sitting in her office at Koerber’s Fine Jewelry. All That Sparkles (Including Parenthood) STORY & PHOTOS BY MIRANDA MCDONALD Jacqueline Koerber knows a lot about jewelry. Her family has been in the business for over 30 years. However, the jewelry expert is also learning a little bit about motherhood as well after giving birth to her son. The new mama recently sat down with us to talk about current jewelry trends, her new role as a parent and finding the perfect gift for Father’s Day. How has motherhood been treating you? Having my son is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Most days it is a balancing act of being a mom and business woman, but I always find a way to make it work. Are there any pieces of jewelry you have purchased or been given since becoming a mom? I like layering necklaces. Recently, I started wearing a choker with my son’s initial on it. When you are a mom, you are just so proud of your children, so you find yourself wearing pieces that commemorate them in some way. Besides my stack of rings, I wear this piece almost every day. 64 EXTOL : JUNE/JULY 2018
