I had the ""pleasure"" of meeting Ms. Brigode about 10 years ago in a small bead store in the Valley. I was so taken aback by her horrible ""holier than thou"" attitude I vowed never to purchase her jewelry, under any circumstances. While her designs are nice and she has gone far with her line, she is not much of a ""people person"". If you absolutely have to purchase any of her jewelry, please do so without speaking to her, if all possible. If not, I suggest you to look up Irene Neuwirth. She is a wonderful person and a fabulous designer. Good luck!
