The stunning heart necklace featured on the cover of Autumn 2008 issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry was created by Cheryl Strait. Cheryl has been published many times in Belle Armoire Jewelry, and even has two articles in this particular issue. The combination of soft colors with the hardness of the metal makes for a breathtaking piece that makes Cheryl Strait worthy of being a cover artist. In a recent interview, I asked Cheryl to share some of her insights. |
