          Well, first off, there’s the beauty and craftsmanship angle; let’s get that out of the way. But for me, it’s really the history—looking beyond the piece itself and taking note of all the factors that came together in the world to bring it into existence. It may have been created as part of a war effort or made to memorialize a precious loved one (or a queen, or a poet) or even to simply document an event, like
         </span>
         <a rel="" style="color: #1a1a1a; text-decoration: underline;">
          the passing of Halley’s Comet

         <span>
          or the launch of the first hot-air balloon. The stories are endless, and even though I’ve been doing this for ages now, I’m still constantly being surprised and enchanted by some of the things that pop up for sale.

          Not all that much, although I do tend to go off on even longer tangents than I used to! I’m totally incapable of reining myself in. I do miss the feel of blogs, though—particularly The Hairpin and

         One thing that has changed is that I started to offer paid subscriptions last year, and it took me a while to figure out what those paid emails should look like. I needn’t have worried, though, because they sort of evolved on their own into more in-depth posts focusing on a single item or theme. I’m really enjoying writing them—the smaller group of recipients makes it feel like a club, and the discussions we have in the comments are a delight.

         I try to write conversationally, as if I’m telling a friend about this cool thing I just found. There can be a ton of research and detail that goes into what I’m writing, but I try to get it across in a way that doesn’t feel boring or overwhelming. Hopefully my enthusiasm is infectious.

         I also have to confess that the undercurrent of hysterical giddiness present in some of my emails is there because I usually finish writing—directly in the CMS, like some kind of an animal—at 3 a.m. and then schedule them to go out a few hours later while I’m asleep. So let’s just say it’s not unusual for me to wake up, read what I sent out, and think, “What the hell, Monica?”

          focused on a set of simple, $250 silver and enamel cufflinks that, on further reading, turned out to be the membership cufflinks of a short-lived but incredibly successful English charitable organization called the Ancient Order of Froth Blowers. The AOFB (motto: “Lubrication in Moderation”) met regularly at pubs and followed a wonderfully silly set of rules and, in the process, raised the equivalent of over $7 million for children’s charities in the 1920s. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for.

         Fashion is cyclical, of course, so trends circle around all the time even in jewelry, and right now I think we’re going through a signet-ring phase again. The pearls-on-men thing is currently ruffling some feathers among the old-school jewelers, but men wore pearls for centuries; it was only a matter of time before the look resurfaced. It’s long past due, really. More power to them!
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         <span>
          No matter what style it takes, though, people find meaning in jewelry. Alongside our collections of fashion-influenced stuff, there’s almost always a piece or two that is deeply connected to ourselves or our families. We hold these precious little objects—wedding rings, lockets, a stone or watch that belonged to a grandfather—so closely to ourselves, and that has never gone out of fashion. I personally collect
         </span>
         <a rel="" style="color: #1a1a1a; text-decoration: underline;">
          mourning rings
         </a>
         <span>
          , and I feel as if I’m helping to fulfill someone else’s original purpose by caring for them and keeping them safe. I know I tend to sentimentalize things, but I do feel strongly that these pieces deserve respect—they’re far older than we are, and they will continue to exist long after we’ve gone. For however long I’m around, I want to be a good caretaker for my part of a jewel’s life.
