Get to Know Allyson
What is your favorite gemstone?
Turquoise and Black Spinel
I love the look, lore and legend of turquoise. I’m particularly drawn to the dreamy hue of Sleeping Beauty stones. This opaque, robin’s-egg-blue gemstone works with every color in your wardrobe and can be easily worn dressed up or down.
I often refer to Black Spinel as a "little black dress perfectly captured in a gemstone." This sleek and sophisticated black beauty is not only versatile but also durable. Black Spinel makes the choice of what jewelry to wear truly effortless. It can be worn every single day.
What is your best fashion tip?
Step out of your “jewelry box” and try something new. Not only will different pieces and gemstones breathe new life into your existing wardrobe, you may just find your next signature style!
What are some fun facts you would like to share?
In addition to my love of jewelry, I am also a well-known animal advocate for my work both internationally and domestically to help endangered, neglected and abused animals. I created a segment on JTV Extra called “Diamonds in the Ruff” that features adoptable animals. Big and small, I love them all!
What is your go-to travel jewelry?
Before heading to one of my favorite vacation spots, I make sure to pack a statement necklace, a 36" station necklace, hoop earrings and a band ring.
What are your go-to gifts from JTV?
My go-to gifts from JTV are paperclip chains, jewelry boxes and a beautiful pair of black spinel hoops. Everyone loves hoops and black goes with everything!
How did you get your start in the jewelry business?
I got my start in the jewelry business because JTV mentored me!
What are the most meaningful items in your jewelry collection?
The most meaningful items in my jewelry collection are the jewelry passed down from my grandmother and the bracelet given to me by the hospital after having my daughter.
