My first personalized handmade jewellery had everything to do with my love for the natural crystals or gemstones. I had a large collection of bracelets built over time, yet as it happens, some were broken, too large or I just did not feel tempted to wear them. So, I started playing around with them combined stones, shapes decorations, threads, ribbons and anything I could find. In most cases, the end result was beyond expectations. People started to asking me where did I get the bracelets.
Friends and family were my first customers. To my surprise I had a close male friend who asked my to make him “a bracelet just for me”. And after a while I got some requests for “my best friend” who either loved a specific natural crystal or gemstone color. Others wanted a bracelet with crystals for a zodiac sign. And, of course others thought of a bracelet with natural crystals whose energy would support and empower certain aspects of their lives: love, emotional healing, money, abundance, good luck, personal power, grounding etc.

The gift giving challange
Gift giving can be quite a challenge, especially when you want the other person to know the appreciation and love you truly feel. And, I believe you felt it many times. To me the best gift is not about the price, the brand, the trend or the size. That perfect gift means that when I look at it I get that feeling of knowing without doubt it is the right one for that someone special. It’s about that “WOW!” or “This is it!”. I have to say that this was the reason why I start creating personalized handmade jewellery bracelets.
