...it gets me every time.

I thought I would end the year with some stunning imagery of jewels (and maybe the odd jewelled shoe/ bag/ dress) that caught my attention. Nothing inspires me more, when I'm in the 'design zone', than crisp images of amazingly styled pieces of art. Wearable art, that is. Jewelry can be many things, and when it looks this good, it's art. Enjoy, and I wish a wonderful New Year to you all. Thank you for your ongoing support and love for my designs, it is you that has helped us grow this past year to something I would have never imagined. I'm very excited for 2012, and can't wait to share the future with you, xo Lauren Elan.
