It’s Personal

French Vogue April issue

I may love statement shoes, but I am not a fan of statement jewelry. Those big chunky necklaces popular last year made me think of all the macaroni and fruit loop versions my girls made for me in nursery school. I adore personal jewelry, preferably in yellow gold, and the style pendulum seems to have swung in my favor.

I especially love stacked rings and bangles- there is no such thing as too many!

I no longer wear a crest ring. I had a blank signet ring engraved with my daughters’ initials instead.
