This thread has been fascinating!
In the latest issue of Creative Jewelry, all the designers had to describe their style in their bios. It's pretty fascinating to look at how each one described his or her style and then to flip to the pages to the actual jewelry to see if it matched. The word "eclectic" appeared in a bunch, so my guess is that style is a difficult thing to articulate, no matter how experienced you may be. (Either that, or there are a lot of eclectic designers out there, which is totally possible!)
