A guy just came to my table and asked me if I had any men’s jewelry and I said no. He waved me off and declared that I don’t want to make money.

I’ve had enough requests that I know making jewelry for men could make sense, but it’s not something I see myself ever getting into.

I don’t want to invest in a whole bunch of new materials to start with. And I just don’t… make jewelry for men. I don’t think about men when I’m designing. My aesthetic is pretty, delicate. It’s not masculine. I’m not into it. I don’t understand this idea that if you make jewelry you should make all kinds of jewelry for everyone. It’s weird. There are people
here who have that market covered and nobody’s demanding they make women’s jewelry. I suppose I should feel flattered that they like it enough to ask. But still… I don’t get it.
