How does jewellery make you feel? Happy? Excited? Cheerful? I like to think that jewellery is food for our souls – helping us express ourselves in so many ways imaginable (think colourful drop earrings), brightening up our days (there is something cathartic about dangle earrings, isn’t it?) or just giving us a motivational boost when we need it most.
Colourful Earrings
Sometimes all you need is a little splash of colour… A little more colour never hurt anyone, right? If you’re a fun-loving and high-spirited person by nature, you’re going to enjoy wearing colourful dangle earrings.
Head over heels in love? Wear red earrings, an emotionally intense colour. Need to carry a little dose of sunshine with you? Wear yellow earrings, the colour of happiness. A nature lover? Wear your green earrings proud. Or perhaps you just love pink? By all means show off your pink earrings!
As someone who loves and embraces colour too, I created my Colours of Joy collection featuring drop earrings in various colours and sizes. These acrylic and resin earrings have a little story behind them, and they each remind me of the little things in life that we so often take for granted. The Come Rain or Shine Cloud Dangle Earrings in particular, reminds me of my dad – how we used to listen to the Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head song by B. J. Thomas over and over again and never got tired of it! I miss my dad immensely and created these beautiful earrings in memory of him. ❤️
Floral Earrings
🌼 “Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.” – Luther Burbank. According to Loretta G. Breuning Ph.D. in her article here in Psychology Today, “Flowers can only make you happy by triggering your happy brain chemicals.” Personally, I couldn’t agree more – a little more love, happiness and kindness in this world is never a bad thing. In fact in crazy times like these (at the time of writing), I think we’re actually in dire need of this.
I created these floral earrings for my love of flowers. There’s just something rewarding about watching them bloom after all the hard work of sowing and nurturing them. I wished I could make floral earrings of all the different types of flowers that I love, but that would be a seriously tall order! 😅
Cartoon Earrings
“Happiness is anyone and anything that’s loved by you.” ― Charles M. Schulz, Charlie Brown. I really adore this quote to bits! How true, right? Surround yourself with the people and the things you love, and that’s happiness right there for you. I think quotes like these are little nuggets of truth in life that we should hold dear to our hearts – forget those naysayers. Haters gonna hate, right?
I created these cute earrings inspired by some of my favourite cartoons and animations of all time. Yes, I still love cartoons even in my mid-30’s. There’s no age limit, right? 😊 There are so many important life lessons we can learn from watching these animations – in fact, don’t forget that the people behind the cartoons are actually reputable and well renowned screenwriters and authors too. There are times when the things the characters say are like astonishingly true and you think to yourself, why have I never seen or thought of things this way?
I created these adorable earrings to relive some of the best heart-warming moments in these popular cartoons. Since I’m at it, I may as well share some of my favourite lines as well – I hope you like them!
