Hark! Listen to the call of the Bling.

I have come to the conclusion that gem selection is quite possibly the most heart wrenching part of this business.  The constant urge to wander to one end of the table, when what you need is at the other.  If I could convince every client to purchase blue bling......I would create every piece with Sapphires. But no.....some ladies hear a different sound.....the call of a Ruby.....Diamond......etc.  So I have trained my ears, eyes and mind to reach beyond my own personal desire and concentrate on finding the "perfect", someone else s dream gem. This in and of itself brings a certain degree of satisfaction and I rather enjoy running my fingers along the different textures of pure bliss.  A grown woman's candy store and the small light at the end of the tunnel....for my husband.....that there will be a return in the end  (after creation and sale).  I have, in fact, become rather talented in the area of costume jewelry as well.....shocking to those who really know me.....I am sure.  So, if you really want to witness the call of the wild......I mean Bling......take a woman to your local jewelry or bead convention.....stand back and please extend your arms....in cases of fainting spells or heavy bags of splendor.  ~Enjoy
