Who was your greatest influence in shaping your jewellery taste?
My grandmother. When I was very young, we would watch old movies with Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn and we would dress up in her faux and real jewellery while we were watching them, drinking ginger-ale from champagne glasses. The next day she would take me to the five and dime and we would buy similar jewels to the styles I saw on these glamorous yet very elegant actresses in faux crystal or sparkly rhinestones…It did its job!
