Advent jewelry calendar

As the holiday season approaches, there are more and more discounts and sales everywhere. In general, most small businesses also take advantage of major sales events, such as Black Friday and Joy Days, and offer their merchandise with some short-term discount. This year, I decided to skip the 1-2 day sale for the entire stock of products and dreamed up the holiday discount campaign differently. There are two reasons for this. 1. I start from myself and I really don't like it when I have to decide in one weekend what to surprise myself or my loved one with. I especially don't like to do online shopping on weekends, I spend my time on other things. In particular, I would...

What happens if I make a mistake? Or: not all jewelry can be perfect.

Everyone makes mistakes, right? Well, it's the same when making a piece of jewelry. True, the customer usually only sees the more or less perfect end result that he buys. In my case, although it is not very common, it does happen that a caption does not work as it should. It's not in the middle, a letter has slipped, the text is crooked, or you can't hit the letter or the pattern the first time and then it's very difficult to put the beater back in the same place and try again - usually the end result is a slipped pattern. For more difficult and complicated requests and longer texts, the chance of making mistakes is even greater, especially...

Planning and organization - or: building a craft business with two small children

The beginning of the new year inspired me to write this blog article, because I always start the year with renewed strength and motivation. Many people don't like this, they think it's forced, but closing the old year and welcoming the new year gives me a boost. Maybe it's because for years now I've been really closing, letting go, summarizing my previous year and welcoming, "planning" the new one. The YearCompass , which I will fill out this year as well (I'm not done with it yet, but I'm not in a hurry :)), is a big help in this. I put the planning of the new year in quotation marks because for me it is more about the formulation...

What is the best story of your life for you?

I'll show you mine: BAR necklace, in rose gold (rose gold filled) version When one looks at this necklace, one sees a larger teddy bear and two smaller teddy bears. You might also remember that one mother bear/father bear and two baby bears represent the mother/father and the children. And that's right, it's my own necklace that's me and my kids. But no one knows what my journey was like until my children were born. What a journey I traveled until they arrived at us. Or what path I'm on now that I have a family. This necklace has it all. The past and the present. Maybe even the future, since they will always be with me in my heart,...

What type of jewelry is gold filled jewelry and is it the right choice for you? If you have a hard time deciding, this article will help!

Our yellow gold and rose gold jewelry is called they are made of gold-filled materials. Gold filled jewelry - similar to run gold jewelry - are not accessories made of pure precious metal, but are provided with a layer of precious metal. But still, what distinguishes gold-filled jewelry from run-of-the-mill gold jewelry? It is important to mention that there are many different gilding techniques, during which gold layers of different thicknesses are applied to different base metals in different ways. The main difference between the individual techniques is of course the end result, i.e. the durability of the gilding. This is determined by the technique used and the thickness of the gold layer. If you want durable, high-quality jewelry, but...
