I keep telling myself markets are great for market research.

One market: everyone wants earrings.
Next market: beaded necklaces.
Next one: chains.

At this point I’m convinced customers have a meeting before every market to decide what they’re buying that day, and I’m simply not involved.

So my current business strategy is: pack everything and hope for the best.

Please send me the meeting notes next time.

I thought I was done with these.

The Hera Necklace + Hoops sold out and I hadn’t planned to restock them.

Sometimes I think it’s better to let a design have its moment and make room for something new.

But every time I come back to these images, I question that decision.

So I’m putting it to you ~ are Hera’s days really over, or does she deserve another run?

The two sides of being a small business owner at a trade show.

One minute I’m feeling confident, excited about what I’ve made and having the best conversations.

The next I’m mentally calculating the cost of the stand, wondering why nobody has ordered for the last 20 minutes and questioning every business decision I’ve ever made.

And then someone places an order and suddenly everything is fine again.

Surely I’m not the only one whose brain works like this?

I’ve always believed the best designs feel familiar before they feel fashionable.
Not because you’ve seen them before.
Because they remind you of something you can’t quite put into words.

I love finding images that somehow just feel like a piece of jewellery.

Not necessarily where the design started, but the colours, shapes and textures that capture its mood perfectly.

A visual version of what I see when I look at each piece.

A change of season feels like the right time to make room for something new.

For a few days at the end of August, everything will be 25% off.

If you’ve had a piece saved for a while, this might be the moment.

Sale begins now.

When I chose Cinder, I wasn’t looking for a trend.

I wanted a colour that felt timeless.

One that looked just as good with a gold ring stack as it did on its own.

Years later, it’s still one of my favourites.

Everyone: “You just need to balance your expenses.”

Me: A small business owner trying to balance expenses: gestures vaguely at... everything 😅

But every market, every parcel packed, every bottle poured, every order sent, it all leads to someone choosing to support my little business.

And that makes the balancing act worth it.
