[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2845261, member: 2844"]How would you know? So far I have seen no evidence that you know much about jewellery outside the US. You can't lead the world if it never reaches the rest of the world. Leading the world in costume jewellery means the rest of the world knows about it and agrees that you are indeed a world leader in costume jewellery. They don't. The simple reason for that is that tastes in other countries are different to the US, which is why US jewellery is largely of domestic interest. I am sorry, but people in Europe generally think US jewellery is gaudy and tasteless. Just saying what I have heard for decades, I realize everyone has their own traditions and likes. But it seems many Americans agree with the Europeans, because whenever I was in the US, people would be amazed at my jewellery and say "I so love European jewellery". Of course I wore costume on my travels, not the jewellery I usually wear, too cumbersome. I personally think US costume jewellery has a typically local charm, but I wouldn't wear it. I am too European in my taste.[/QUOTE]
