What is that look that comes over a woman’s face when she looks at herself in a mirror wearing a garment that is utterly wonderful? For some it's a shy grin, for others a full face smile before they begin to swirl and preen before the mirror. That look contains the awareness that “Wow! I really am beautiful,” and it is the reason why my career is such a sustaining delight to me. I get to see that look every time I bring my wares to a gathering of women. Helping women to recognize their beauty--whether by means of a perfect fit in a dress, a curve in a pattern of velvet that mimics the wave in a woman’s hair, or a pendant of labradorite that exactly matches a woman’s eyes--is a joyful mission for me. I get such pure satisfaction when a woman looks in the mirror and really, really likes what she sees. ---Mona Betz
