I love jewelry. Plain and simple. If you gave me the choice between an elaborate wardrobe with zero accessories or a uniform of jeans, white T-shirts, and beautiful jewelry, I’d choose jeans and jewelry every single time—no hesitation, no regrets. Clothes are great, but accessories are where the personality lives.
I’ve always been this way, which is probably why I went on to become an accessories editor. It felt less like a career choice and more like a natural progression. My grandmother had an immaculate eye for detail and believed wholeheartedly that outfits should be built around the jewelry, not the other way around. Earrings first, handbag second, shoes third—everything else was just supporting cast. Watching her get dressed clearly left a mark.
