This diverse collection of handmade jewelry is born from a singular desire to create beautiful things that bring a positive experience to others.
All the self-proclaimed experts on social media say that designers who sell online must have a single concept. It must have a story. It must be about this or about that. But mostly, it seems, it's supposed to be about me. I just can't get myself to fake that. It's not about me. True, I create what inspires me; but I do so singularly hoping it touches others and brings them joy or comfort or makes them feel something special or preserves a memory for them.
I am not by nature a rule-breaker, but I've never been a rule-follower either. I'm just a person who loves to make beautiful things, or at least things I find beautiful. Sometimes it's beaded bracelets, other times it's silver earrings, beaded hoop earrings, breathing necklaces, rings, origami earrings and necklaces . . . sometimes I just want to paint or design graphic images.
I am moved by emotive colors, by simple yet spectacular things in nature, and by the grace of form and the complexity of "simple" designs. Every piece I create is the result of giving all my passion and focus. I don't cheat. I don't mass produce. Every thing I create I have designed and crafted with my own hands. I work cleanly. I work neatly. I put all I have into every single thing I make.
But what I am not good at is social media marketing. I can't bring myself to pretend what I make for you is really about me. It's not. It's about the jewelry and about how it makes you feel. I would love to be more successful, but I feel fulfilled every time I hear a positive story from a customer how a certain piece of jewelry made them feel or how it played a part in a significant moment or aspect of their lives. If that means I have to remain a very small business, so be it. I can't and I won't cheat my way to higher rankings. I don't want to make videos about successful side hustles or about me or my family or to create a formulaic approach to my shop . . . and definitely not to produce what I don't have passion to create just to get higher rankings.
So, I hope you enjoy this always developing collection for what it is and that you forgive me for being shy and not being comfortable to self-promote. While each piece of jewelry starts with me, it ultimately remains with you. Therefore, everything in the collection is for you and not about me.
I hope you can forgive me for not being aces at social media marketing or playing tricks or doing all things people say I should be doing and that you discover this page and find something you like among my eclectic and ever growing collection of handmade jewelry.
