Every day, I wear stories. The stack of bracelets on my left arm reminds me of dear people, travels, and great deals scored in local antique shops. Side-by-side, the bangles, beads, cuffs, metal, and leather hold meaningful moments that span decades—my visit to the Leather School in Florence, a sterling silver bangle that Dad brought back from Ireland, two sweet bracelets made of glass beads from Mali.
I mix color and texture, vintage and contemporary. Bracelets offer too much possibility for a minimalist aesthetic, so I give into my maximalist tendencies. More is more–shine, glimmer, clink and contrast! We are ever-changing works of art, and our jewels reflect our evolution. My arm decoration changes by day, marking moods, seasons, and the sweet passage of time.
