Feature Friday - Q&A with Christine Greene of C.Greene Jewelry
I am so excited to bring this week's Feature Friday to you! I'm sure you have all heard of her already but.....I just couldn't turn down an opportunity to chat with her. And, besides, she's totally cool to boot! So, who is she?? She is Christine Greene of C.Greene Jewelry!
So without further ado; I hope you enjoy this Q&A with Christine Greene!
1. What prompted your passion for jewelry and jewelry design?
Grandma’s Jewelry Box. I grew up in the British Colonies, and that influence is still very strong.
2. What is your favorite piece or collection?
Lockets – things that are worn close to the heart.
3. What would your perfect “jewelry day” involve / be like?
That what I “wanted” to wear (jewelry-wise) would pass with what I “needed” to wear!
4. Thus far, what would you say is your proudest jewelry moment or memory?
Enameling in high school and making all my Christmas presents that year.
5. Where do you find your greatest inspiration?
The Ocean; past, present and future when sustainable practices for the sake of adornment are cultivated world-wide.
6. In your personal wardrobe, do you find that you gravitate to one particular jewelry accessory (rings vs. necklace vs. bracelets vs. watches, etc.) more often than others?
Only rings when travelling. I find them the most versatile, weather friendly and easily dress-up a day outfit for night.
7. When putting together an outfit, how do you feel about mixing metals, designs and even new with vintage pieces?
I never stopped mixing vintage, but I only avoid mixing yellow gold with rose gold.
8. Layering seems to be a trend that is here to stay, for now. What are your feelings on the layered look? How do you like layered necklaces with layered bracelets plus layered rings?
Sure!
9. What advice would you give to budding jewelry designers? To budding fine jewelry collectors?
Do what you love, buy what you love
