My
favorite sentiment concerning how an individual should
buy and wear jewelry comes from a familiar quote by Coco
Chanel and it goes something like this:
"Jewelry isn't meant to make you look rich, it is
meant to adorn you."
I
take that to mean that the jewelry ones chooses to wear
is in effect a way to telegraph to others something about
themselves without uttering a word. It belies a feeling
of confidence rather than a need to be recognized. It
comes from a place of power rather than insecurity. It
is unaffected and a true definition of personal style.
This is the sort of woman I hope to appeal to in my work.
