The McEarring is ruining American jewelry. Every store: rows and rows of hoops and studs and variations on hoops and studs. How tired. There are too many jewelry designers. I think at any given time there should only be three.

I should always be one of those designers, even when I haven't designed anything in over two years.

I realize that only leaves you with two designers, but that's how I want it.

Thank you for reading my essay.
