THE CANVAS
ConsiderYourself
A jewelry wardrobe is like an art collection. It is not a static thing but a work in progress, a collection of delights you develop in accordance with your own personal aesthetic. What distinguishes jewelry from most other works of art is that, while it can be appreciated quite on its own merits, it comes into its full potential only when it fulfills the purpose for which it was created by the artist: personal adornment. Well-chosen jewelry is not only beautiful in its own right; it also brings out the beauty of the wearer. The jewelry you choose and how you wear it determines what others focus on when they see you. Jewelry draws the eye, and so, as you place jewelry on yourself, think about what you want to emphasize.
