When you don't know what to wear the best is to Keep It Simple Sometimes (really the last S stands for Stupid or Sweetheart) I am not the fanciest dresser nor the girliest. My purse provides the color I lack in my clothes and jewelry. Jewelry-wise I wore a couple of MY PEACE of JEWELRY " practice " cuffs practice giving cuff practice love cuff

MY PEACE got me a HUG!

What I love about jewelry is a PEACE can look different on each person. The other day I was taking photographs of MY PEACEs during my lunch break at work. These kids, (they were actually teenagers, but kids to me) were skateboarding in the area. I had my tripod set up and was taking pics of my hand stamp cuffs. Here are some photos. While I was taking the photos one of the guys came over and asked what was I doing. I told him that I make jewelry and sell it on Etsy. He said "Awww that's cool!".

With gold-plated link chain, the ultra-thin layer of real gold wears off leaving a discoloration in various spots of the PEACE; making it not very attractive and cheap looking.

So to combat the gold-plated link chain, I went with another type of link chain It's an antiqued brass finish. I don't like it. The chain size is too, too, too small. The PEACE just seems off. I wanted the necklace to be a striking PEACE. Here, it just looks ...
