Not this season. Jane Keltner de Valle test-drives spring's statement earrings.\n\nWhen I was growing up, I couldn't wait to get my ears pierced. My parents, however, ensured that I did\u2014until my twelfth birthday. I remember my mother taking me to the doctor's office to have it done (talk about a buzzkill). I rebelled soon after by getting a second hole in my left ear, and then a third (neither of which was done anywhere remotely resembling a doctor's office). Then came the gold door knockers I purchased on New York City's Canal Street and wore religiously for two years. In my mind, at least, they took me miles away from the conservative Upper East Side, where I grew up, and helped me find my sense of self (which, as it turns out, is not an extra in a Biggie Smalls video, much as I love hip-hop).\n\nThese days, I keep my jewelry to a minimum. I wear a men's-style watch on occasion, but that's pretty much it\u2014or at least that was it until I saw the spring Prada show. When Miuccia's models emerged on the runway in rosette-and-crystal chandelier earrings, my heart skipped a beat."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
