Hong Kong Jewelry fair was last week. I didn’t get a chance to go, but my daughter did. She said there was lots of inspiring jewelry from all over the world. We make everything in the USA and try and source as much of our materials as possible from the USA. However some items, such as crystals and pearls, are much easier to find abroad. Asia is known for having amazing quality freshwater pearls. My daughter said she was a bit overwhelmed, there were hundreds or pearls suppliers who offered pearls in every color, shape, and size. Luckily she took many photos, so maybe I will get some inspiration for future lines.
Ariel took the ferry to the convention center each morning, how cool. What a beautiful city even with all the fog.
