I love jewelry. I love it in a way that, I believe, is not materialistic … I love it for its beauty, its craftsmanship, its history and the role it has in our lives … not for its monetary value, although that can be impressive. Here, I hope to reflect on what’s out there, what people are making, what people are wearing, and, maybe, sometimes what it means.

So, “bread and cake,” what’s that about? It sounds like a blog about torturing the gluten-free. I love the words, the nice punchy sounds but, beyond that, the words are symbolic of jewelry. Jewelry is part of daily life — basic and sustaining — like wedding bands and family heirlooms. Jewelry is also decadent, fancy, and, at its best, a heart stopping art form.
