1 The Jewelry Loupe
Cathleen McCarthy
“Jewelry is the perfect microcosm for just about every interesting subject I can think of. Besides, we all need a little eye candy,” says Cathleen McCarthy, the blog editor. McCarthy started out editing a magazine on fashion jewellery, then moved on to writing about art jewellery and fine jewellery, antique and contemporary, for Art & Antiques, Town & Country, Country Living, AmericanStyle, and JCK where she was a contributing editor.
