I began making jewelry for myself some time back... it was a great form of relaxation! But really, it was my favourite past time as well as my love for delicate things that initiated my interest. I was climbing up the corporate ladder back then and it was devastating realising that my journey would be held back due to a sudden job change and transfer that my hubby had to undertake. After many months of uncertainties, I was becoming increasingly depressed. Fully aware of my emotional state, I knew I had to do something to pull myself out of it. With lots of time on hands to reflect on my life, I recalled how satisfactory handcrafting had made me feel and I decided to take a plunge. Little by little, my depression began to dissapear and I felt like that I had something to look forward to everyday. Since then, my jewelry designs evolved and improved. I started listing some items on ebay and began receiving some very positive responses from people who love my designs.

I still feel depressed sometimes but for the most part my depression is now more controllable and manageable. As stupid as it might sound, I have come to believe that handcrafting jewelry has in a way eased my depression and saved my life!
