Here at Distinction Jewelry, we’re all about supporting independent small businesses, individuals, and doing things just a little differently. Our models are a prime example; we don’t use stock photography, and the collection of absurdly gorgeous human beings you see displaying my wares are all independent models.
They are mothers, photographers, and kids….and sometimes they are actresses, runway models, or fixing the school computer. PS: I swear that having a name beginning with “A” isn’t one of my primary criteria when casting….
Meet our models….
