Blue Windows

My favorite jew­elry artist, Jeanine Payer, came for a visit last week. Not my typ­i­cal appoint­ment. I have been sell­ing her jew­elry for almost 12 years now and her jew­elry line remains my favorite. She is a true artist and I admire her cre­ativ­ity and thought behind each piece. There is truly always a story to tell of how, why and when she designed each piece in her col­lec­tion. I love espe­cially hear­ing about where her inspi­ra­tion for each new col­lec­tion comes from. The poetry aspect of her jew­elry always intrigues me. I love to see the instant con­nec­tion when a cus­tomer is struck by the words on a par­tic­u­lar piece. This is after all what this line is all about. I have quite the col­lec­tion myself from over the years and can tell you why I chose each one at a dif­fer­ent time in my life. We change as indi­vid­u­als so of course poetry is going to affect us dif­fer­ently at each stage in our lives. I hope to con­tinue to sell her jew­elry for another 12 years and I look for­ward to adding to my per­sonal collection.

I think this may be in my per­sonal collection!

“We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the cen­ter hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the empti­ness inside that holds what­ever we desire. We ham­mer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it liv­able. We work with being, but non-being is what we use.”

~Lao Tzu

Thank you Jeanine,
