I love me some clothes, but I love accessories more. Jewelry to me , is a more personal reflection of one's style. I wear a necklace given to me by my grandma almost everyday, because it is my good-luck charm. There is a certain emotion that comes with wearing that particular piece, and has in turn become a signature piece of my style. Now I totally get if your not into the sentimental thing, even still jewelry has the ability to enhance your overall look.
A few years ago I had the opportunity to work with Ja'Vesha Willis on a class project. The project was to create some sort of apparel/accessories brand and document all the steps involved in marketing and sourcing the product . We chose jewelry and would spend our days talking about how much we really enjoyed accessories . Two years later my girl has made her dream a reality and started Charmed by V. Why not document life's most important moments on your wrist? She's fantastic and so are her charm bracelets.
HH:Why do you believe accessories are important in every wardrobe ?
JV: Accessories can definitely make an outfit. You can take a plain white T-shirt and jeans,paired with a bold statement necklace and your outfit will look totally different. They are like the missing pieces to a puzzle, your outfit isn't complete without them.
HH:How was Charmed By V started ?
JV: I had always aspired to have my own jewelry business ever since I was a kid. I was in my room one day and i had an urge to make some jewelry and the end result was a charm bracelet. I had so many great ideas for such a traditional piece of jewelry which birthed Charmed by V.
