He introduced me to Michael Galmer, who is one of the handful of silver masters still doing Repoussé. For twenty years, Michael did the heart-stopping Repoussé tea sets and goblets which were always featured in Tiffany's first floor center display. He still does tabletop pieces and special consignments. I am so honored to partner with such a talent on the jewelry line, his first.

The line of cuffs is available to woman all over the world, but what are the qualities that make it especially appealing to the “Virginia woman”?

My mom is from Virginia and I went to UVA and know many Virginia women. They are fun, sophisticated, and not a bit afraid of femininity. They like bold distinctive pieces but also deep-down elegance. These cuffs make an immediate impression of excellent taste. Even more important, they are pieces you will pass down to your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. And, like women all around the world for ages, Virginia women love their flowers and will want to pick one or two of their favorites.
