Someone said something the other day that stuck.
“Goldsmith? Isn’t that an almost extinct profession?”
I smiled, but honestly... it also felt a bit like a stab. Because it is true that handicraft, craftsmanship and traditions are increasingly disappearing in a world of fast purchases and mass production. And yet that is exactly why I do this work with so much love.
Every pendant, every pair of earrings I make, is created from attention. With my hands. In my studio. Not from a plastic mold, but from silver, pearl, gemstone and fire. Sometimes a design requires patience, refining, trying again. But when it is right... then it is real. And then it carries a story within it.
And that's exactly what handmade work needs to survive: stories.
Reviews are little sparks
In a world where algorithms determine what people see, your words as a buyer are invaluable. A review is more than a few stars: it is a piece of visibility, a confirmation that craftsmanship matters. That handmade is not 'old-fashioned', but personal, honest and full of meaning.
What you write makes a difference
You might be thinking, “What should I say in a review?”
But even a few words like “Beautifully made!” or “Fast shipping and lovingly packaged” help a lot. Because they give the next person the confidence to choose something special. And they give me the feeling that my work is being seen.
I read every review myself – with a big smile, I can assure you.
Do you want to help?
Have you received something nice from me? And do you feel that you would like to say something about it? Then I would love it if you would write a short review. It may take you one minute, but it means much more to me than you think.
