Less Is More

Nicky held out a box. “I’m never going to wear this.”

The Jewelry Doctor took a look.  

Knowing Nicky’s style, she could see why she wasn’t wearing it. But she also saw something else.

“Those cubes are wonderful,” she said.

“Uh-huh,” said Nicky, unconvinced. “You can have them.”

“Thanks,” said the Jewelry Doctor, who went on to design several pieces of jewelry with those very cubes*. Before delivering the jewelry to Marguerite she showed it to Nicky, who decided she liked the coral cubes after all. The two of them decided an “S-Curve” necklace would be great for Nicky—

—who has been happily wearing it ever since.

*And yes, that other cube jewelry will be appearing here soon. Stay tuned.
