Host: Costume jewelry is big, huge now. It’s now; it’s now it’s not, let’s get buy silver, let’s buy gold, it’s all about let’s get the funky crazy costume jewelry, so what is big in costume jewelry right now?
Lora: Well, right now you’ll find a lot of jewelry like lots of crystal. You’ll find lots of leather mixed with crystals. You’ll find lots of chains, long chains, different type of links of chain, hoops, bangles, a bit of everything, really I find.
Host: Okay so, pearls are in, is that true?
Lora: Yeah. Pearls are in instead of going with the long chain, you can with the long pearl lariat or you can go with some pearl more to the neck. You can see black pearls, gray pearl, a lot of people see pearls as white. I don’t want pearls that—pearl is more than just white. You can multi colors of pears, you can make it look funky, anything.
Host: What do you need about jewelry to get a good piece of costume jewelry?
Lora: It’s a very good question. Well, you can tell by the finishing on the metal like if you look at it, the way it shines, you could tell a difference where something looks more plastic than crystal or glass, the way the stones are set into the piece, finding the metal, how they are all link together, the work.
Host: The work, okay. Well thank you very much.
Lora: My pleasure.
