All the hype these days about "statement pieces" in the world of fashion and jewelry triggered a bit of thinking on my part. While I have been guilty of going the way of "statement jewelry" and including the verbiage in item descriptions; the reality of it is I don't think of my pieces as "statement" designs.
Why? To me, if someone is making a statement they are in your face, standing on a soapbox or just generally annoying anyone within earshot. So, all of that is not necessarily a good thing and I don't want my jewelry or someone wearing my jewelry to have that affect on the people they encounter throughout their day. When you style with jewelry from my collection, it is my hope that the overall effect would be that of making a lasting impression - a positive impression that stays in the mind of both wearer and observer, an impression that speaks to your personal style. Hopefully your head is not spinning with all of this and that you didn't immediately think "pop quiz" and start to hyperventilate when you saw the word definitions above. To illustrate my "impression" and personal style points, visit my site where I do my best to offer up a varying styling ideas for each item.

Yes, my designs are large - but at the same time, they are not over-the-top BIG. I love jewelry that has movement and so the majority of the designs do not resemble metal breast plates worn on stage by opera stars; because they are styled with a variety of beads, they float gently over the curves of your neck, collar bone or wrists. What I like most about the pieces is that they are timeless without being stuck in time - and if your head wasn't spinning before, it just might be now. But it's pretty simple really. If you put all my jewelry in a big old box and someone opened it ten, twenty, fifty years from now, I'd like to think that they would happily wear it, make a lasting impression in doing so and it would work in their life just as it works in yours today.
