Naming jewelry is always a combination of fun and frustration. Where to start?! Sometimes a design was inspired by something specific, the way the Liana Collection was inspired by flowering vines and dangling blooms. I used botanical names for each piece, and the name “liana” itself is a group of vining plants. Other times, I start from a more literal description, like the two-drop Duet Earrings and Duet Lariat. As members of the Sonata Collection, they emerged with a descriptive name along the same musical theme.
In the case of the Bohemian Collection I wanted to find names that felt, well,bohemian. Gypsy-esque, free-spirited words that say, “Who cares what other people think? Do your thing.” |
