When I first started at Shinola, I bought a bunch of black dresses to have a go-to uniform just like Steve Jobs, so I didn\u2019t have to think too hard about putting something together. Now, it\u2019s become my signature.\u201d \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Caitlin, her inspiration was sitting right next to her. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a young child, I thought that I really liked colorful clothing. I would get mad at my mom for always wearing black. I just couldn\u2019t understand why she would always just stick to that color when so many other colors exist,\u201d Caitlin, Customer Experience Operations Manager, laughed. \u201cThen I realized that black is just the ultimate color.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both ladies find their confidence in comfort, although when it comes to their everyday looks, Judi takes a minimalistic approach, while Caitlin enjoys playing with textures and layers. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same rules apply for the duo when it comes to layering and stacking their jewelry as well. \u202f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"409\" height=\"907\" src=\"https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-139.jpg?auto=format&fit=crop&h=624&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=426&wpsize=narrow-thumb-large\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-139.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=300&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=135&amp;wpsize=medium 135w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-139.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=150&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=68&amp;wpsize=thumbnail 68w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-139.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=1024&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=462&amp;wpsize=large 462w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-139.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=1536&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=693&amp;wpsize=1536x1536 693w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-139.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=2048&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=924&amp;wpsize=2048x2048 924w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-139.jpg?auto=format&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0 409w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><figcaption>The iconic Judy Cooper.

Photographed by Marina Goldi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>\u201cI always equate the weight of an item with its quality,\u201d Caitlin explains. \u201cI see it in Shinola\u2019s jewelry pieces. When you hold the Rivet Cuff in your hands you can feel the weight to it, it just feels so luxe. This extends to our watches too\u2014especially our automatics.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judy agrees. \u201cHaving a guest at the store put a watch in their hands before they try it on is such a powerful moment.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quality isn\u2019t something that can be explained, it has to be felt to be understood. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I like simple but very elegant pieces. I think Shinola\u2019s jewelry collection does a great job at elevating themselves by keeping it simple. From rubies to diamonds and now Petoskey, Shinola has found a way to use these materials to add sentimental value, making them timeless heirloom pieces that could go with anything and never go out of style,\u201d Judy added. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pieces like these make powerful wardrobe essentials. Simple, yet anything but basic, they can elevate a more everyday-dressed-down look in a way that\u2019s personal and works well with what you already own. Its weight holds both quality and sentimental value. They\u2019re the kind of pieces that you don\u2019t have to see to know they\u2019re there, but you can feel something missing when you go a day without wearing them. \u202f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>CAN YOU TALK  ABOUT OTHER PIECES THAT HOLD SENTIMENTAL VALUE TO YOU?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I was thinking what kind of dialogue I could add to the stacking conversation, I thought about how each piece that you wear represents a story or moment in your life,\u201d Judy explains.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStacking gives you a way to add or subtract pieces, wear them all or just a few, and tell your story in that way. They\u2019re a legacy item, especially from mother to daughter. I think it\u2019s one of the most sentimental things that can be passed down.\u201d \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns two-col-image-right-small\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>And for her most sentimental pieces?\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would say all the pieces that Caitlin gave me from Shinola over the years. It makes me laugh when I think of her trying to negotiate with the associates at the employee sample store for me,\u201d she smiles.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, Judy has collected many Shinola pieces that remind her of their time here together. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the first pieces Caitlin gave me was this gold Signet ring. It meant so much that I could get it personalized.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judy revealed her ring, engraved with an elegant \u201cJ\u201d. \u202f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"410\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-134.jpg?auto=format&fit=crop&h=353&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=696&wpsize=home-cat-short\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-134.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=300&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=241&amp;wpsize=medium 241w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-134.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=150&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=121&amp;wpsize=thumbnail 121w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-134.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=1024&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=823&amp;wpsize=large 823w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-134.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=1536&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1235&amp;wpsize=1536x1536 1235w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-134.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=2048&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1646&amp;wpsize=2048x2048 1646w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-134.jpg?auto=format&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><figcaption>Judy wearing The Signet Ring stacked with The 3 Diamond Ring.

It\u2019s how I first found out about Shinola. People would come into the store asking for their watches, but we didn\u2019t have them yet at the time. That was about 8 years ago. I wore it when I interviewed for the job at Shinola!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second was sitting on her wrist. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy Petoskey Canfield is special for a few reasons,\u201d Caitlin explained. \u201cIt was the original Canfield dial that we did and my favorite Shinola watch of all time. It\u2019s also a piece I bought for myself and tailored to my style. I added a yellow gold mesh bracelet to make it more of a flashy jewelry piece.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the era of disposability, jewelry remains one of the few items that can be treasured forever. It can be inherited, reworked, reset, and restyled over and over again to make it truly yours. It\u2019s crafted to carry meaning for generations to come\u2014and you can honor it every day just by wearing it.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>HOW DO YOU INCORPORATE THESE PIECES INTO YOUR EVERYDAY LOOK?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just wear them! I strongly believe that jewelry is supposed to be worn, so why not wear it?\u201d Caitlin said.\u202f \u202f\u201cYes, it might get a few scratches, but jewelry is supposed to be lived in, worn out, and well loved.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a sentiment that Shinola knows well. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>DO YOU HAVE ABY TIPS FOR STACKING OR LAYERING YOUR PIECES?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m more of a minimalist,\u201d Judy explained. \u201cI like mixing something with sparkle with something simple.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caitlin takes the opposite approach. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t limit yourself! For me, that\u2019s what stacking is all about. Pile them on and don\u2019t overthink it too hard. Just wear what you like and be confident about it.\u201d\u202f It can be easy to overthink stacking pieces\u2014focusing too hard on the beauty of it can become the chaos of crafting a look. Instead, Caitlin suggests focusing on how the pieces feel together. \u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to rings, I love to have a bold statement piece\u2014something eye-catching and a conversation starter. On the other hand, or finger, I will have a few simple bands stacked. You can turn that simple band into something great by putting them all together,\u201d she said.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large image-768\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"820\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-140.jpg?auto=format&fit=scale&h=848&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=1024&wpsize=large\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-140.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=248&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=300&amp;wpsize=medium 300w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-140.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=124&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=150&amp;wpsize=thumbnail 150w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-140.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=636&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=768&amp;wpsize=medium_large 768w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-140.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=935&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1024&amp;wpsize=cat-feature-mobile 1024w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-140.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=1272&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1536&amp;wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-140.jpg?auto=format&amp;fit=scale&amp;h=1696&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=2048&amp;wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https:\/\/shinola-wordpress.imgix.net\/2023\/04\/SocialStacks-140.jpg?auto=format&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0 820w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><figcaption>Judy wearing the The Shinola Runabout 25MM stacked with The Diamond Rivet Bracelet and The Petoskey 4MM Beaded Bracelet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to throw some unique bands on there to mix and match your style.
