OUR STORY
As the morning sun gently illuminated my workspace, memories of my childhood flooded my mind. Time always seemed to fly by swiftly whenever I engaged in crafting, lost in the flow of creation. But as a child, I hadn't yet realized the significance of this innate talent bestowed upon me at birth. Now, I understand it as a gift, the ability to create something effortlessly, almost instinctively.
My journey with crafting began innocently enough during my elementary school days. I remember vividly the thrill of creating my very first pieces of jewelry using nothing more than plastic beads, thread, and adhesive bandages. I fashioned dangling pink earrings and affixed them to my ears with tinted adhesive, for I had no pierced lobes.
Years passed before I delved into jewelry making again, this time as a new mother. The internet had become a hub for all sorts of crafts, and I eagerly joined the trend. Ordering an array of polymer clay in various hues, I invited a friend over, and during those precious moments when my child slept, we crafted jewelry together. Initially, it was just for ourselves.
From there, my passion grew. I started ordering metals and beads online, piecing together intricate designs. Venturing out to craft fairs became a regular part of my routine, the only avenue available at the time to showcase and sell my creations.
In my quest to explore new avenues for selling my jewelry, I stumbled upon the Etsy platform. It took me years to muster the courage to set up my shop there, but once I did, I began by selling polymer clay earrings.
As time passed, fueled by my own curiosity and determination, I taught myself the art of soldering metals, investing in the necessary tools and equipment online. Soon, I expanded my repertoire to include silver and semi-precious stones. To my surprise, orders started flooding in through Etsy, and the need for assistance became apparent.
Today our passionate team of jewelry connoisseurs is engaged in custom crafting under the eMeraki™ brand. We use high-quality, pure metals and polished and unpolished stones in the productiom of jewelry. The goal is to offer quality jewelry that is different from mass production and the best possible customer support in this process.
