Spring 2019 Obsessions

I think any antique object contains a novel worth of stories within it. Just imagine all the stories your tea kettle or couch can tell. Now, something as personal as jewelry, which is often worn daily throughout a persons life, it contains all their life experiences; from their wedding day, the birth of their first child to their daily work commute.

When you examine a piece of antique jewelry you can also physically see aspects of the person who wore it. Depending on where the wear is on the band you can tell what finger it might of been worn on or if they were right or left handed. It’s these little jewelry elements, that inspire me to write about and imagine the life of the person who wore it.
