Conversations about Jewellery Designing and Life
I’ve tendered my resignation this morning. Been thinking about it for the longest time, held back by fear and uncertainty of being unemployed/ self-employed. This morning, I felt ready and since it’s something that I will do sooner or later, I printed out the letter and handed it over. Took several baby steps to reach […]
Read MoreOh hello! Sorry I haven’t been writing lately. Been too engaged working on trying to get my online shop up and running. As I have so many designs each belonging to a different line/ collection and there are future addition to existing collections, things can get extremely messy. It’s been an exciting afternoon today because […]
Read MoreWell then! Have not been writing anything lately. Instead, I have been spending most of my time working on launching my new line. All the necessary product photography have been taken and the pictures have been edited. Now, my focus is on the website. Oh! And I have recently purchased a new camera, and I […]
Read MoreJust received my largest parcel from the workshop yet. Not too shabby. I am happy to say that the “Dou” Collection is ready to be launched. That would only mean I can look forward to even more work. The only thing different would be I am going to be working on the next couple of […]
Read MoreSent my 3D Printer for servicing last week since it was giving me some trouble during printing. Good thing is it will be coming back to me tomorrow. Hopefully, they have resolved all my printing issues. We are now second day into the month of May and this month, jewellery designing will have to take […]

Not sure if the name will stick while there is nothing wrong with the name and it definitely is very appropriate, I feel that […]
Read MoreThese just came back from the casting. Not exactly the best result. In fact, some parts came back slightly warped. Luckily, it is not an issue that cannot be straighten out with a pair of pliers. More importantly though, is the information I gathered from playing around with the parts now casted in silver. For […]
Read MoreBeen really pushing hard on my jewellery collection. Spent a lot of late nights, made a lot of adjustments. Previously known as my “Saga” (working title) collection, I have decided to name it “Dou.“. Had a bit of an issue at the workshop and I have made adjustments accordingly and hopefully, it will be smooth […]
Read MoreSpent a good part of today’s afternoon on one of my personal projects; felt really good, like I have accomplished something with my time. That feeling is rare these days, especially at work. Feeling a little jaded lately; it is like I have done nothing notable or achieved anything that I can be proud of. […]
Read MoreFinally got all the part of my necklace ready. It feels like I have achieved something when I see all the pieces come together and holding them in my hands. A bit more work and I can wash my hands off this project and work on the next one. I have been a little under […]
