Kelly - Collector 2005

"I like to wear a lot of funky jewelry and people love the unique little designs of the d.j. freshie pieces. While visiting my sister in Colorado, she happened to notice my d.j. freshie bracelet. She absolutely loved it, but I couldn't buy her the same thing that I had (sister rivalry, you know). So, I bought her some earrings and a necklace instead! She may end up being your next collector."

Linda - Collector 2008

"The jewelry has become an ambassador during travel, I have been stopped by people of all cultural backgrounds in places as diverse as Cairo, Florence, St. Petersburg, Lima, and Beijing who ask about the jewelry and continue conversations on other topics proving we all recognize "art" when we see it; and that "art" is a bridge that can be the impetus to understanding other issues."

Felice De Ruggiero - Collector 2009 Each piece of Bijou jewelry tells a story. When my beautiful cat Talia died, I needed to have her close to me, so I had her picture made into a Bijou necklace. Whenever I wear my Bijou jewelry, a conversation is always started by a stranger. I love the craftsmanship and the vintage look.

	Lori Sparling - Collector 2009 I love Bijou Graphique! I work as a nurse and many of my patients are elderly. As we know, the older we get, the more birds seem to bring us peace. I get such delight in how much my jewelry is noticed by patients who love birds. The look of Bijou is sentimental and old-fashioned. It always strikes me as the perfect piece of keepsake jewelry that is wonderful to give as gifts. Thank you so much for bringing your wearable art into this world. It brings me so much joy.
