Randam Art



I’m not one to get caught up in jewelry, I always see it as something a bit impersonal… created en masse to be given as gifts and although beautiful no real love was put into it.   It was created for the sole purpose of being purchased and used… not much different than a TV or anything else. 

One of my dearest friends has changed this perception.  Miranda creates some of the most creative and beautiful necklaces, among other items, that I’ve ever seen.  She puts so much into it, she puts herself into the items and each one tells a story.  I like this, it makes them special and one of a kind… qualities that you can't find produced en masse.  I’ve always admired her artistic touch and I’ve showcased some of her work on here before.   She truly is one of the most talented people I know and I am privileged to have some of her work in my own home.

I agree with you. I'd never thought about the mass production of jewelry before, but you make a good point. And Miranda is a very talented person.

The only thing is that often the value of a gift is the intent and not the item itself, so I do believe it is possible to buy say, gold earrings, for someone you love and because of that love the gift becomes special. :-)
