YOU’re the Gem!

Dear Treasure Seeker - you curious soul…
The fact that you’re here means you want to explore.
For this isn’t just browsing; it’s a quest with a goal.
With treasures that whisper, direct to your soul.

So follow your flicker, your emotional spark;
Let your essence be picky, let it come from your heart.

For that piece that you wear on any odd day,
IT has the power to state what you crave.
The thing that is shiny and blingy - your hue,
that sparkling beauty - THAT true gem is YOU!

*a little bit of poetry to break the ice ;o)

Hi - my name is Anita - I’m a jewellery designer-maker.

My aim is to share my jewelry journey of making one-of-a-kind 100% hand crafted pieces and the psychological affect our jewelry has on us.

My fascination is specifically with how our jewelry has the power to transform us from the inside out and the other way around. Not just my jewelry - any jewelry that holds a special meaning or makes you feel a special connection - especially with yourself :o)

Ever Heard of Mindful Jewellerying?

... didn't think so! But it's a thing. Kinda' like “slow fashion”. And not like "mindful jewelry".

Mindfulness, we're typically told, is the art of sitting still in meditation.

But the act of being mindful is nearly the opposite: it's being present in the moment with full engagement and curiosity - noticing what is with all your senses.

That's the beauty of being present - you get to experience the world through your full being rather than just your eyes...

So I made up the term "Mindful Jewellerying" as a short-hand reference to the act of looking for, choosing, and wearing your jewellery intentionally with your full presence.

So I Invite You to Join Me…

When you subscribe to get my notifications you get to join the collective conversation about seeing your jewelry as an active contributor to your wellbeing - a catalyst to living in your full colour and shine (as I often say).

Now THAT to me is a joyful journey. And it’s good for you and the environment (in that slow fashion kinda’ way).

The type of stuff we’ll talk about:

• I’ll share my newest one-of-a-kind 100% hand-crafted jewellery pieces - hot out my studio. I’m a jewelry designer-maker. I make my designs to celebrate the beauty of YOU! And my jewelry craft is very much aligned with my personality (I’m sure you’ll get to know more of that in time).

• From time to time I’ll share interviews with customers - where we candidly explore their own journeys with their jewelry - how and why it transformed them. Or even how their style evolved over time.

• And then I’ll also bring some mindful jewellerying ideas (grounded in experience and psychology principles). Ideas that will give you practical action-focused ways to deepen your own jewelry journey :o)

Excited! Just what you were looking for!! Maybe… but I bet you’re intrigued.
