Diamonds - that'll shut her up... for a minute!
We don't find it tough to sell gold; people love to buy jewelry. The only way to make your wife, sister or lover happy is to give them something that they love.
Someone gives jewelry, and there's a bit of romance. If you buy it from a store, the store is trying to romance you. Even when I'm making the jewelry, I have to be romanced.
When I was 19, I celebrated my first Valentine's Day while being in a relationship. I was so excited, but didn't know what the rules were. What should I get him, or was I even supposed to get him something?
Red roses for young lovers. French beans for longstanding relationships
I have this necklace I always wear. I collect pendants from people I love; my best friends and members of my family have all given me one, and I put them on this chain so no matter where I am they're always with me.
The pleasure in lovers' gifts is that they are often covert and secretive, worn next to the skin, hidden under pillows.
I am not the kind of girl who keeps track of anniversaries.
