Tricia Milaneze, owner of Lavish Jewelry, is giving away this colorful, hand-crocheted bracelet. Enter to win by answering in the comments below: What do you wear on your wrists?
Tricia Milaneze recalls a time several years ago when she almost abandoned her jewelry business entirely. A single mother to two children on the autistic spectrum, Tricia, age 36, was also working a demanding “day job” as an immigration attorney. “I had a good position at the law firm, a good salary and insurance. But my jewelry orders started to get bigger and my clients started to complain because they couldn’t reach me. I couldn’t do both things well. I had a feeling I’d lose what I had built with the jewelry business if I didn’t dedicate myself to it full time. So, I left my law job.”
Her chutzpah has paid off…in 2011 she made more than a million dollars in sales, and her beaded baubles were featured in InStyle and Lucky. Plus, Tricia’s jewelry is now for sale in the FOF Shop!
We spoke to Tricia about how she and her team create Lavish’s unique designs.
Your jewelry is handmade in Brazil, but you operate your business out of Miami. How does that work?
I’m originally from Brazil, but in 2000 I moved just north of Miami, where I operate Lavish. Each piece is designed by me and crocheted by artisans in Brazil. I still visit Brazil often, but it helps that my brother lives there–he is my business partner.
Tell me about the creative process when producing your jewelry.
We start with an idea on a piece of paper, but because we work with wire, a lot of the pieces end up looking different then the original drawings. We have to see how the wire is going to behave. We change a little here, a little there…the creative process is very dynamic. We make a few pieces first, and from those we develop a whole collection.
What materials do you use?
Copper wire–because it’s very flexible–and glass beads.
Where do you sell your pieces?
I sell in the U.S. and also internationally–Japan, London and Italy–mostly in boutiques, catalogs and a few department stores. I am also now selling my jewelry in the FOF Shop. I’m hustling it.

Once in a while I wear bracelets. I’ve never worn watches. My biggest problem is that I’ve got a wider wrist, so sometimes it’s hard to find a bracelet that fits right.

veritas2011 says:
On my left wrist, I always wear a watch, but my right wrist is for bracelets! I talk with my hands, (I am Latina) so I like bright and shiny bracelets! Also, at a cocktail party, I always hold my drink with my right hand, so my bracelets are on display, each time I lift my drink! I tend to wear a lot of black, so colorful bracelets add a festive touch to an outfit that could be dangerously somber!

I wear a watch or bracelet of some type almost every day. I don’t feel ‘dressed’ without it. But no matter what I have on, I have to take it off when I’m working at my computer.

I wear a bracelet to match my outfit (I gave up wearing my wristwatch after a serious car accident– time didn’t seem as important any more). I love this bracelet as it will coordinate with just about all of my outfits!

The bracelet you show is striking yet fun! A piece of art!

I wear a watch and usually a bracelet I have purchased on one of my travels, a piece of the world that reminds me of beauty and adventure on a drab day.
Tina Ashton says:
Love wearing my watch for work and business functions but when I’m going out on the town I’ll wear some type of bracelet. I don’t own anything like this colorful stylish item and would be thrilled to sport it on my wrist next time I’m out and about.

Constance Dittberner says:
I mostly wear Native American jewelry, bracelets and rings, etc. When I wear different color clothing, I switch up and wear beads, multicolored especially with jeans. This bracelet would look wonderful, and it is Native Brazilian at that!
Marcia says:
Both: except when I’m on the computer, even the watch comes off. I tend toward bead-rich bracelets for the fun of it. This one is certainly unique and really makes a statement!!
Tina Renee says:
Depending on how it looks with my outfit, I often wear a watch stacked with several bracelets. If I’m wearing a particularly large or ornate bracelet, I wear it alone!
Maria Lewan says:
I feel absolutely naked if my wrists are bare! Left wrist, I wear one of a variety of watches, along with 2 Pandora charm bracelets-every day, always! Right wrist-sky’s the limit-always something on that wrist, generally color coordinated to match my outfit! This bracelet is so gorgeous-would match so many outfits!
Diane says:
I always have my gold 35th anniversary bracelet watch on my left wrist. Depending on the occasion, I have a few bracelets that I adore and wear…..either with the watch or on the right wrist. I am picky……not just anything will do. This crocheted bracelet I like.

I work from home so only wear something on my wrist when I go out, usually 2 or 3 times a week. Then I wear a funky watch on one wrist and maybe a bracelet on the other.

I usually wear one or more bracelets. Depending on my mood the jewelry dictates my outfit. My clothes are pretty simple. Jeans, tailored blouse, boots and a leather jacket. I love interesting pieces that have a story. Your bracelet would definitely be a conversation starter.

Such a pretty bracelet. Looks very intricate. With so many colors it can be worn with just about anything.

On my left I wear my watch, my serenity prayer silver bracelet and a chalcedney natural stone bracelet. on my right arm i tend to wear bracelets that complement what I’m wearing.
melissabrown says:
My wrists are usually unadorned since I work from home now but when I go out, I like to wear a bracelet to dress up an outfit. I gave up wearing a watch a few years ago since all I need to do is look at my iPhone to know what time it is!! These bracelets are beautiful and quite unique and would really pique interest from others–would be a great conversation starter, I’m sure!
Mary Baker says:
I have a Turquoise and Sterling Silver Bracelet that I wear along with my watch on my right wrist, and the left stays open for whatever else I feel like wearing! I love the colors in this bracelet!
ann wilmoth says:
i wear a medical alert bracelet on my left wrist and that is all
regina says:
Since my stroke and breast and thyroid cancer, I look for items that make me feel pretty.
And your bracelet is one of the loveliest things I have seen in a long time.
I find that Diamonds and Pearls just do not cut it. It is the things that are handmade, and the colors and subtle shimmer of the beading of your bracelet is very lovely.
I do hope I win one.
Thanks,
Regina
regina says:
oh, sorry, I wear a watch on my wrist.
Thanks again.
Regina
Jeanie says:
I have been wearing my Dad’s wristwatch since he passed away. I gave it to him for a birthday one year. I think of all the years spent with him instead of how long it has been since he passed away. I usually pair it with my Pandora bracelet.
