There is something about wearing designer gold jewelry that creates an air of mystique. I may be biased about my own work, but when I am wearing one of my major design pieces like Selvaggia or Corteggiando, I seem to get just a tad more respect and friendliness from others. It could be I am smiling a little more because I know I am wearing something unique and special that I created. It could also be that people are happy to see something beautiful in gold that is special and unique and, yes, very bold and noticeable.
We have been through some tough times over the last few years. I think people have become more reluctant about wearing gold jewelry. It may not be necessary to wear lots of layered pieces of jewelry, although that can certainly be fun sometimes. Still, it is a very pleasant experience to receive positive attention, whether people comment on my jewelry or not, though someone will at some point during the day or evening. As a designer, I am not inclined to wear some major piece of gold every day. My go-to is my simple silhouette horse head. My event go-to is my gold horse head design, Selvaggia. Maybe, deep inside, I like to consider myself to be just a little free-spirited like the spirit of the piece.
