Unique Jewelry




Last night I attended a friend's jewelry party featuring handmade, bespoke jewelry by Kara Crisp. I was so impressed by her personal investment in each piece; she described how she gets her ideas and how she chooses each stone and pendant. I ordered the lovely bracelet above, in silver. Adding an unusual accessory to an outfit completes your ensemble and makes it shine.

I like this from Elegance by Kathleen Tessaro: "Jewellery (sic) is the only element of an ensemble whose sole purpose is elegance, and elegance in jewellery is a highly individual matter. . . One thing, however, is certain: an elegant woman should never indulge her fancy to the point of resembling a Christmas tree dripping with ornaments."
