The New vs. The Old

Ever since opening Ashley's Big Secret, I get asked the same questions alot- 'Do you only wear your own stuff? Do you ever wear real stuff? What about your old jewelry?'

These are very, very good questions! I have always loved jewelry, and my mother and I have been collecting for years. On the other hand, I am very proud of Ashley's Big Secret's jewelry- heck, Mom and I are personally resonsible for every piece in the store. I love our jewelry-it's new, it's funky, fun, hip. Much of what I wear is, in fact, my own stuff. Not everything, though.

For years I have received gifts of gorgeous jewelry that are all absolutely beautiful and mean alot to me because of who it came from. It's really fun for me to be able to put a really special bracelet, for example, with a fun necklace from my own collection to make both look even more beautiful.

As for some of the real stuff, Mom and I have been mixing and matching real and faux for years! In my experience, its fun to have a great pair of diamond earrings, but if you match them with a big, fabulous ring like this one, you get way more compliments on the ring! The fact of the matter is- no one knows the difference!

So there you have your answer: I wear mostly Ashley's Big Secret, but love to mix and match it with peices I already have. It's the best of both worlds!
