A while back i attended a little gathering to introduce Inna Sense`s new styles and looks in jewelry for the fall season.
The women of Inna Sense were friendly and helpful. I told them i was there to write a little story for my blog which i am only now doing.
Dina, an image consultant, did a skin tone and color analysis with me going over the range of colors and deciding i was a Winter. I always thought i was a fall. This will help in choosing jewelry, Dina explained. (insert sarcasm here) I didn`t mention to her that sometimes i wear socks that don`t match but i respect your profession none the less.
The women of Inna Sense were very generous with the champagne and it appeared to be another New York event where i was getting a little tipsy. For that alone, I love Inna Sense. I mentionned there was a hint of rose to it; very light to the taste.
The pastry was a fruit tart from Bindi which they fed me happily along with chocolate.
Dina took me around the shop and explained the different types of gems from amethyst to rose quartz, garnet, and the style of the season which is described in most fashion magazines as `smoky`.
My color vocabulary is limited to red , green, blue, black.... but stylists and artists will introduce you to a whole new spectrum of colors such as: citrines, chartreuse, fuschia...
My intro to gem stones ended on a political note: With the attention on the conflict diamond, have gems had the same kind of critique from activists as the diamond, i asked.
`It doesn`t have the same history as the diamond, known for healing properties, less targeted,` said Nadya the manager.
