Happy New Year Everyone!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012. I'm thrilled to be back as the Jewelry Collecting editor once again. For those who have subscribed for a few years, you may remember me from 2006 to 2008. Well, since then I have started designing my own line of jewelry, Susan Dorling Designs, influenced by my tenure at BellaOnline. Over the last few years, as a freelance writer I have continued to write about jewelry collecting and jewelry making for several popular online destinations.

I invite you to send me any questions you may have about jewelry, or comments about the site, and to share with me what kind of jewelry you collect or are interested in learning more about. My goal is to address all your jewelry collecting interests with in-depth articles that provide timely, useful information. I find that the more I learn about jewelry, the more I want to learn. There are so many fascinating aspects to explore!

Here are my newest articles at the Jewelry Collecting site at BellaOnline.com. Going forward, my newsletters will arrive every Monday afternoon to update you about my newest articles. I hope you will enjoy them.
