<The Beauty of Contrasts>
Many people think of jewelry as something for summer — it's easy to enjoy dressing up your hands and wrists when more skin is on show.
But what I actually find beautiful is jewelry in autumn and winter. Adding the crisp, quiet brilliance that only metal has to warm, weighty materials like wool, cashmere, and leather — that slightly cool impression brings depth and a quiet tension to the whole look.
I treasure this [beauty of combining opposites]. Like adding a pinch of pepper to a dish... or a touch of wasabi to sashimi... a small accent that doesn't overstate itself pulls the whole impression together.
Try quietly adding a piece of jewelry to an outfit you love. That alone can change the expression of your hands, make your skin look more beautiful, and let your own sense of style come through naturally. The older I get, the more I find myself drawn to that kind of quiet beauty.
