Rick,

    I'm glad you wear your jewellery. I've noticed that a lot of
    jewellers who make and sell their own jewellery, for some reason
    don't actually wear their own pieces. This seems a little odd to me.
    I see it as free advertising, and in any case, if you don't wear your
    own jewellery, then prospective customers might have less confidence
    in your wares. 

    I make jewellery that I like and I make and wear a number of pieces
    for myself and people often comment on it. Like you say Rick, it is
    an attention getter. 

    Among the many Orchidians whose work I really admire, one in
    particular is Belle Brooke. I love her work and was pleased to see a
    picture of her on her website, wearing one of her creations made in
    gold. It gives out a message to the customer that you like your own
    work enough to wear it yourself so it must be good. 

    Do most people on Orchid wear their creations or not? I'd be
    interested to know if others have an opposing view.
