"My Father took me to lunch at '21' and gave me my first piece of serious jewelry. It was my birthday and I was nine. My Mother was appalled, which is probably why I've been hooked ever since."
To celebrate my ninth birthday, my Father flew in from a meeting in Hong Kong -- not a short trip in those days -- and took me to lunch at '21.' When I finally looked up from the mound of chocolate sorbets and profiteroles, he opened a red box and presented me with my first piece of serious jewelry. When I raced home to show my Mother, she was thoroughly appalled and said so, but I was hooked. And remain so. To me, nothing completes a woman's look better than a stunning necklace. It sets off and frames her face in a way that nothing else can.
Through the years, I've learned that it's not the size and weight of the stones that makes a great design, but the composition, selection and arrangement. The core principle of each design must be fluid, so that each element flows into and enhances the effect of the others. That's precisely our focus at JHM ATELIER. Stones, jewels, beads and unique medallions and pendants from all over the world, carefully matched, arranged and hand-strung into one-of-a-kind works of art. Necklaces that are as dramatic as they are unique.
