INTERVIEW - THE JOURNAL BY THE BAG DEPARTMENT
1. WHY SEMI PRECIOUS NATURAL STONES?
SIMPLY, BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST THAT; PRECIOUS. CREATED NATURALLY FROM THE EARTH, EACH GEMSTONE IS FORMED WITH UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS ENSURING THAT NO TWO GEMSTONES ARE THE SAME. THE RARITY FOUND IN EACH GEMSTONE ENSURES THAT VALÉRE JEWELLERY IS CREATED TO BE OF WORTH.
I SOURCE ALL OF THE VALÉRE GEMSTONES MYSELF FROM COUNTIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. I BELIEVE JEWELLERY EVOKES AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH ITS OWNER, SO IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT I FIND ONLY THE MOST PRECIOUS GEMSTONES TO BE USED WHEN DESIGNING BEAUTIFUL UNIQUE JEWELLERY.
2. WHY IS JEWELLERY SO IMPORTANT TO YOU? AND WHY SHOULD WE INVEST IN PIECES?
GROWING UP I WAS ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE JEWELLERY. MY MOTHER HAS A LUST FOR EXQUISITE JEWELLERY. EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER I HAVE TRAVELLED THE WORLD WITH HER ON ‘JEWELLERY TRIPS’ IN SEARCH FOR UNIQUE PIECES AND RARE GEMSTONES – SHE STILL ACCOMPANIES ME ON MOST OF MY BUYING TRIPS, THAT CONNECTION WILL NEVER BE BROKEN. NATURALLY THE LUST FOR PRECIOUS AND UNIQUE JEWELS TRANSPIRED TO ME. DESIGNING JEWELLERY WAS ALWAYS INEVITABLE.
I INVEST IN JEWELLERY BECAUSE FOR ME JEWELLERY IS A THING OF BEAUTY, IT IS SOMETHING PRECIOUS TO BE TREASURED. I BELIEVE WE EMBODY THE BEAUTY THAT JEWELLERY EMITS, THIS IN TURN MAKING US ALL FEEL BEAUTIFUL.
3. HOW DO YOU STYLE GLAMOROUS JEWELLERY FOR EVERYDAY?
FIRSTLY, I DON’T BELIEVE THERE IS A RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO STYLE YOUR JEWELLERY, IT IS SIMPLY A PERSONAL CHOICE OF WEARING JEWELLERY THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BEAUTIFUL.
MY STYLE VARIES FROM DAY TO DAY; HOWEVER ONE THING THAT NEVER CHANGES IS THAT I DO NOT EVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT WEARING JEWELLERY. DEPENDING ON MY MOOD I WILL SOMETIMES WEAR ONE OR TWO RINGS COUPLED WITH A BRACELET OR NECKLACE, BUT MOSTLY I AM ALWAYS WEARING SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS EARRINGS – DAY OR NIGHT – THEY ADD GLAMOUR TO EVERY OUTFIT WHETHER IT BE DENIM SHORTS AND A TEE OR A SCULPTURED DRESS. I BELIEVE WEARING JEWELLERY IS ESSENTIAL IN EXPRESSING YOUR OWN STYLE, WEARING GLAMOROUS JEWELLERY EVERYDAY IS LIKE ATTACHING MY PERSONALITY TO AN OUTFIT.
