Hoop Dreams
Being a jewelry designer has some interesting effects on one's perspective on the world. I've become aware of noticing someones jewelry before registering the color of their eyes. (I can't tell you how many times I've done this!) There is a caveat here, though. The jewelry they were wearing must be noteworthy. So, if the eyes are the window to the soul, then it could be said that, for a jewelry designer, earrings are the window to a person's aesthetic. Note to the rest of the world: a sure fire way to get a jewelry designer's attention is to wear some outstanding earrings!
