HELLO WORLD

well, these days everyone seems to be making a blog. so as a currently unemployed, bored as hell, recent master's degree recipient i thought i'd jump on the bandwagon and start one of my own while waiting to start my CFY (speech-thing).  if you don't know me i'm sure you're asking yourself, "why the heck are you choosing to write about jewelry?" and if you do know me, i'm sure you're thinking "you would." but back to those of you who don't know me, who may be coming across this blog via stumbleupon or google or a forwarded email from your mom that you usually ignore but decided to open just this once because you finally felt bad, this is why i decided to write about jewelry:

i love to shop. more than average, i'm pretty sure. but the thing i like to buy the most is jewelry. i could go on and on about how a piece gives that extra sparkle to an outfit bullshit, but i won't. because if you're reading this blog, you probably already know that. i like it because it's pretty; because it's sometimes handcrafted and most of the time it's unique. i like it because it never stops fitting you, no matter how much you hate eating salad and avoid ordering it at any opportunity. but i especially like it because it is something that is important to my entire family, and is something that i have grown up loving.  my grandfather was a watchmaker, and my mom is a gemologist, so both sides passed on the jewelry gene, and i think at some points their wallets regret it. but onto more important things!

with this bloggity blog, my aim is to show you my personal taste, as well as that of my family, friends, and maybe even random strangers if they have something so f-ing cool that i can't not say something to them. 

so, enjoy, fellow bored people
