Any great stories behind the arm candy?
"The silver hook bracelet is from my first vacation with my now husband in St. John—still my favorite and most-cherished trip. The onyx beads bracelet is from my favorite Buddhist temple in Taipei where I grew up. It's a piece of home for me and gives me a feeling of peace and protection. It was taken and prayed for by all the monks in the temple, across all the gods' alters...So I'm covered."

Have any tricks or tips for layering bracelets?
"Always mix materials, colors, glam vs. rock, hard vs. soft, ect...More is more. Don't be afraid. Don't match. Pile it on! Most importantly, wear pieces that have meaning to you so that each has a story and reminds you of a moment in time. Then, it doesn't matter how you wear it."
