"So, this is really an awkward moment for me," Discount Glashutte says, smiling and scratching her head. But she becomes animated when talking about her jewelry. "I am not a 20-year-old rebellious soul anymore, so I use another way to express myself," the 37-year-old says. She made her first piece of jewelry when she was 14 -- a pair of earrings fashioned from short pencils. Discount Graham then, she has bought a plethora of beads and chains to make simple creations. She says she continued making jewelry for the entire time she was snapping photos and working for record companies. "Discount Hamilton friends often asked me to make some jewelry for them, things like necklaces and rings. Most are rockers with cool and unique personalities, so my designs were expressions of their characters," she recalls. Discount Hublot says photography and jewelry-making share similarities as art forms. "Taking pictures for those bands was my life, not a job. I was crazy about them and expressed my love for them with my camera," she says. "They're my friends, and I love their music. We were the same age, young and reckless. Now, I've grown up and can sit for hours working on a brooch or earring." Her rock days were mostly linked with Dou, lead vocalist of the pioneering rock band Black Panther, in the early 1980s. She expressed her love for him with her camera, capturing every moment of his life onstage and offstage.
