I was recently interviewed by Carol who is a member of my 7 Steps to Style program and runs a business providing jewellery supplies and has tips and tricks on her YouTube channel on making jewellery. We discuss in this video how to choose jewellery that suits you and I wanted to share the interview with you here.
