Amanda’s Style File: More Than Meets the Eye

March 27, 2018

Walking through the recent trade shows, a trend kept coming into focus: fidget spinners for adults.

It makes perfect sense that in our busy world, we all want things that can be worn multiple ways, move or transform.

At first glance, they’re beautiful, however there’s also more than meets the eye with these pieces of jewelry.

Here are a few Amanda’s Style File selects that put a spin—pun intended—on traditional jewelry.
