What Do You Do?

Good Morning,

Today I would like to touch on a subject that many fellow artists find hard to define.   There is a question that all crafters and those that sell their wares to the public are asked on a constant basis "Did you make that?" and occasionally followed by "What do you do?"  Now there's a toughie.



The answer to the first question is "yes"; the answer to the second is not that simple.  I sat down the other day and asked my self that very question.  What do I do?  And the answer surprised me, because I'm not just a jewelry designer.  If I was to write out what I do, like a resume, some of the positions I hold would be as follows:

CEO - Chief Executive Officer
President / Sole Proprietor
Accountant
Buyer
Operations Manager
 
Social Media / Marketing Manager
Advertisement
Production Manager
Sales Manager
Customer Service Representative
Mail Room
Janitorial Services (OK, that one is for fun, but I still have to clean up the studio).

As a one woman three ring circus, I do not have employees, these positions or more importantly their work falls to me, and only me.  In there somewhere I am also the Jewelry Designer.  When you own your own business, whether hobby or career you find yourself in one or more of these roles daily.  You do more than you know.

So what do you do?

New Items in the Shop: Gemstone Necklaces

Good Morning,

Today I would like to share several new pieces in the shop.  Great for men or teens, rockers, bikers, Viking Warriors or Thanes of the Realm.

These items are available at both our The CraftStar and Etsy Shops.


 Mechanix Genuine Hematite and Pyrite Necklace

 

Masculine and understated is this very muted color genuine Hematite and Pyrite necklace. Perfect for the Mechanic, Warrior or Musician in your life.

Genuine Hematite and Pyrite alternate around the 18" length of metal Tiger Tail beading wire. Finished with a Lobster Claw clasp.

Pyrite is a very protective stone, shielding the user from negative energy of all kinds. Pyrite blocks energy leaks and mends auric tears. Carry Pyrite in your pocket to protect you from both environmental pollution and physical danger. Pyrite also promotes good physical health and emotional well-being.

Hematite from the Greek "haema" meaning blood, due to the red color seen on the surface of the stone before cutting and polishing. Containing mainly iron, it is found in both crystalline and rough forms. Warriors carried this stone as they thought it made them invulnerable and indestructible.


Hit The Lights Genuine Jet and Camostone Bead Necklace

 

"Hit the lights!" The words every concert goer longs to hear, it means the show is starting! This masculine and handsome necklace would be perfect for the stage. Matte black Jet beads separate the unique type of Jasper called Camostone (it looks likes camouflage).

Jet is not actually a gemstone, but a "Stone" created of Fossilized Wood, sometimes called a "mineraloid", due to its organic origins.

Jasper is an impure variety of silica, usually ranging in color from reds and browns to greens.  Jasper has been thought of as a stone of protection.

18" total length. Genuine Jet and Camostone (Jasper) beads are laced on Tiger Tail beading wire and finished with a Lobster Claw clasp with extension chain.


Metal Genuine Jet and Pyrite Necklace


Genuine Jet and Pyrite beads chase each other along the 18 length of this heavy duty necklace. Masculine and handsome.

Genuine Jet and Pyrite beads are strung on Tiger Tail beading wire and completed with a Lobster Claw Clasp.


Bass Solo Genuine Brecciated Jasper and Pyrite Necklace


Part of our Gems for Gents line of jewelry, this masculine and attractive necklace is very handsome, and would be appropriate for women as well, it hangs at 18" total length. A beautiful flat oval Brecciated Jasper Bead is centered and framed by oval shaped Pyrite, the intermittent pattern of Jasper and Pyrite continue around the length of the necklace.

Genuine Brecciated Jasper (Red Jasper with Black Matrix), and Pyrite beads are strung on Tiger Tail beading wire and completed with a silver base metal Lobster Claw clasp.
