"I wish the very best to this beautiful jewellery magazine. On the eve of the second anniversary of 'The Art of Jewellery' magazine, I would like to say that jewellery is a celebration of the finer things in a woman's life. I don't like big pieces but am in love with small, delicate ones. I love brooches although I feel that more women should wear them. I love platinum and even dull gold for its understated look. In fact, 'understated elegance' is my mantra. I hate the shiny and showy look - what I call the 'Christmas tree' look. My favorite and prized collection is a brooch diamond baguette called the 'Bird of Paradise'. It has a real pearl in its mouth and is elevated - several levels that are intricately carved."
