“Jewellery in general but rings in particular. I love men in rings. I always start with rings when I design a collection. Men tend to struggle with them because it might be easier to wear a pendant, they are used to wearing a watch so things around the wrist are far easier. Using my boyfriend as an example, I made him a ring and he was completely overwhelmed by it. He had a real fear of rings but thankfully I got him over it, so the story has a happy ending. He used to have a real fear of anything on his fingers but now he can’t leave the house without it. I love signet rings and anything on the little finger for men works extremely well. Rings are still something of a sticking point. That sovereign ring is quite a piece to wear but looks amazing.”
“珠寶很平凡,但珠寶戒指就很特別了.我喜歡帶著戒指的男人.我通常都以戒指當為我的首要設計.男人通常不喜歡帶戒指,因為常常怕把它們搞丟,取而代之的是手錶,放在手腕上更有安全感.就拿我的男朋友當作例子,我給他一個戒指,但是他完全不知所措.他對戒指有莫名的恐懼感,但幸好我幫他克服了這個惡夢,故事圓滿結束.他曾經恐懼手上有東西,但是他現在離不開戒指了.我愛印章戒指,它帶在人和男人的手上都很適合.戒指依然是一個棘手的問題,但是帶起來卻相當的出色好看.”
