I met with one of my great customers yesterday. I actually met her when I was having a test done at the hospital last year and now we have become friends. She bought some pieces to give as gifts and treated herself to a new bracelet. While we were chatting, she mentioned that she didn't think she could wear big, bold jewelry pieces (she's a tiny, petite thing). I told her that I used to feel that way too until I realized that you don't need to be of a particular physical stature to wear bigger statement pieces. You just need the right attitude and a smile, because people will turn to admire the eye-catcher you are wearing. When I started wearing bigger pieces, I found that people started complimenting me on them and now I feel more confident when I wear them. As long as there is a sense of balance and proportion (length is very important) then you can enjoy the big bold pieces that are so popular right now. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

  1. I love bold pieces and up until recently I was also one of those women who admired them on other women but didn't think I could pull them off myself. Now that I have a few pieces I enjoy the compliments and confidence I get wearing them. People are also more apt to look at you and notice you when you wear a striking necklace. I do agree length is key and there is a time, place and outfit appropriate for each piece. I love some of your pieces and hope I get to try some soon!

  2. Thanks, Shannon. I hope your mom likes the necklace you purchased from me as a gift for her. Please let me know. I want her to be totally happy. If there is a problem with length or colors, I can redisgn it or you can exchange it for another piece.
