For example, she especially treasured the jewelry she had received from loved ones or collected during her travels around the world. Using these pieces allowed her to add an extra touch to her outfits, but also had an emotional connection to the people and places she loved.
• Mix of old and new jewellery: What made Marlene's jewellery style unique was her ability to combine old and new jewellery. For example, she combined heirlooms and antique pieces with contemporary designs, this created a look that perfectly reflected her quirky spirit.
