Wednesday's Words of Wisdom - Dream your dreams

Last week I finished my internship at the veterinary clinic in Rotterdam. I got the chance to meet several veterinarians, and not only did I learn different techniques in veterinary practice, I also learned some lessons about life. My mentor motivated me everyday and showed me some insight in his career and his view on becoming professional, but also, becoming happy in life. Some of the things that he taught me are things that he tries to do himself everyday and got him to the position where he is now: the manager of five successful veterinary clinics. 

What he taught me was: Learn new things everyday and never stop developing yourself. Learn from your mistakes, evaluate and try to figure out what you can do better next time. This development may take years, you're not going to be perfect at your job instantly. And you can never be perfect, you can only do the best you can. Most important, is to always set your own goals. And of course, to do what you love.

Etsy Nautical

Ahoy sailor! We've made a collection of our favourite items on Etsy that relate to the theme 'Nautical'. We've included items that are for sale on webshops from all over the world. We think these items together look very adventurous and are perfect for the time of the year.

What do you think of this theme? Does it fit your style?

If you want to see the pictures in better quality, or want to find the shops where they sell these items, you can click here.

Weekly Inspiration Post - Customer's Choice

Normally, in our Weekly Inspiration Posts, we show you combinations of jewelry that we put together ourselves because we think it would be a good idea for a set. However, we found that our customers are sometimes more inventive than we are. They order items that fit very well together, which gives us some inspiration as well!

Recently we got a message from a very sweet customer: she sent us some photos of the bracelets that she received from us after ordering in our webshop and showed us what they look like when she wears them! We think she ordered a very nice set; the two bracelets match very well and look very cheerful together.

If you want to show us and our followers your order sometime, let us know, and we will post the photos on our blog!:)

Love,

Men's jewelry now online!

Last Sunday we proudly announced that we finished our men's jewelry collection. This was also the moment that we were going to start focussing on making all the item listings on Etsy, which is really a lot more work than you would think. In order to get a good view on the product for the customers, it is important to add a detailed description to all items. And of course, since this is why we wanted to make jewelry, describe our thoughts and ideas on the separate pieces by explaining the used symbols and adding matching quotes. You can imagine that this can take a while, but in the end this is what we want to do and what distinguishes us from commercial jewelry production. 

We also asked Lisa's boyfriend very nicely to pose with our freshly made jewelry so that we can show you what it looks like on someone. Below we created an impression of the whole collection. More close-up photo's and how-to-wear photo's, and of course all the unique items, can be found in our webshop. 

Love,

Lisa & Ivanna
