Luxury is something that makes you feel beautiful. I have a vintage silk kimono that definitely makes me feel beautiful and luxurious.

I'm listening to Gogol Bordello, which is totally random, but I love him. Just finished the new Joan Didion book, Blue Nights, which I loved. I haven't been to the movies in God knows how long. I haven't been doing anything but living in a bubble, making jewelry!

To me, jewelry is a natural progression and there is something so meaningful and magical about creating that one of a kind, special piece.

I'm always interested in collaborating with designers. I love Gaultier. I know that's kind of a high hope!

I love how significant jewelry is throughout the world and throughout time. People have been adorning themselves with jewelry for years and its one of the oldest forms of art and design. This is something that has and will always inspire me.

As far as inspiration goes, I'm constantly inspired by traveling, symbols, magic and different cultural traditions around the world.

I'm always inspired by the hidden treasures, unique personalities and New York's overall charm.
