My lovely wife has been collecting vintage jewelry
for most of her adult life. Some pieces she considers
“too good to wear” and keeps stashed in jewelry
boxes, waiting for those special occasions that never seem to
come. Others she keeps in rotation, wearing favorites often,
then switching them out for other favorites. One of her longtime
complaints — the lament that inspired this design — was that
she wanted an easy place to park her jewels at the end of the day
where she could quickly grab them the following morning, a place
where she could see them, but without them getting tangled or
piling up into a big mess. Since she has a weakness for low-end
Hawaiiana and a love for all things aquatic, I made her a jewelry
stand that’s a little bit Mary Ann and a whole lotta Ginger.
