What makes your store special?
It specializes and it’s very specific. I sell vintage jewelry. It’s gorgeous and it’s made better than new jewelry—and you have the opportunity to buy something not everyone has. The area on U Street in D.C. where I am is very young and hip suddenly; there are lots of people in their 20s around. They come to me because they’re looking for something for an event typically. When [President Barack] Obama was elected in 2008, it was a big year of change—a whole bunch of younger, different, more diverse people moved into the area and were going to these balls, and they come in to get special pieces. I also do a lot of bridal, and I’m lucky to be featured pretty regularly in Washingtonian and other magazines for bridal.
