My second announcement is..
I made my first sale within 24 hours of opening the shop!!
I came home today to find that I had an order to purchase one of my favorite necklaces so far:
The Daphne.
I was so excited and at the same time felt torn about having to part with something I created with all my heart. So I really wanted to share a glimpse of the inspiration behind this particular piece of jewelry.
Why is it named The Daphne?
It was inspired by Daphne Guinness.
Almost two years ago, my school at the time, The Fashion Institute of Technology, had an amazing Daphne Guinness exhibition held in the museum. I remember staring at the many spectacular outfits dressed on mannequins, feeling as if I could not breathe any longer. It was simply breath-taking how beyond amazing her wardrobe was.
When making this necklace, I was reminded of how cool and sophisticated Daphne Guinness is. The chunky gunmetal chain represents strength and courage. The rhinestones give it just enough glamour and elegance. Daphne Guinness is truly a fashion icon that will continue to inspire me as I create more beautiful things.
