Inspired Things
There are many things that inspire me. For our creative caffiene "Show -n- Tell" I brought in two things that inspire me. One was the "Complete Works of William Shakespeare", the other was a "Camel". Those things inspire my creativity. Shakespeare is romantic, and I think of Jewelry as romantic and inspirational and a symbol of love. The camel reminds me of my first piece of jewelry a gold Camel Charm, and it reminds me of my parents country IRAN. As I am writing this every piece of jewelry I am wearing is love. My left hand ring used to belong to my father who passed away 11 years ago, my right hand is a ring from my boyfriend, and my watch, bracelet, necklace and earings were gifts from my mom.

Check out a book called The Triumph of Love- it is a book about jewelry that are love tokens. It is out of print but you should be able to find a copy in a public library somewhere. I think the author is Geoffery Munn. I have a copy, FYI. And Yale has a great collection of lockets that are love tokens.
