Travel Easier with a jewellery ...

If you love going on trips and have jewellery, you know how easily necklaces and bracelets can get mangled, how jewellery pieces, particularly those containing glass beads, can scratch each other, or even how you can lose a pendant or an earring to the jumble. Using a jewellery travel case most probably solves all these issues and helps you keeping your jewellery organized.

Protecting your jewellery saves you grief and money as scratched bracelets and broken necklaces are expensive to repair or replace. Sometimes they even cannot be repaired or replaced at all.
It also stops dust and dirt from getting into and at your precious jewels.

Jewellery travel cases are available in a wide assortment of shapes and sizes.

If you have fragile pieces of jewellery (any piece that would easily break in your luggage), a hard case is recommended, otherwise, a soft case is easier to pack.

Here are the most important things to look for in a jewellery travel case:

- Lined with a soft material
- You want your pieces of jewellery to be stored separately. Therefore the case needs to have compartments or other means to avoid the jewellery banging against each other. Each single piece should also be stored in a way that adjacent parts of the jewellery cannot damage each other.
- Fits easily in your bag
- Has a safe locking mechanism to prevent accidental opening

Whatever case you choose, know that your jewellery will be easier to find, more protected and tangle-free!
Have a great trip!

Human Glass Art Sculptures

It's not in the online shop but it's worth to be mentioned on the website. So why not doing it here?
Glass figurines of the human body!

Sculptural work in glass is a challenge on its own certainly.
Working "off mandrel" handling just the glass using grabbing tools, glass and steel punties, or just the hands protected by suitable gloves is fascinating. Also there is a different glass being used than for the beads in the jewellery and it behaves differently of course.

Here is a glimpse of 2 recent sculptures which were going overseas to a customer in the USA.
Maybe we put such sculptures in the general online shop one day, but for the time being they shall remain hidden in the non-public department. Currently it's just about custom orders and not for general sales.

Visiting A Jewellery Shop

I think that one of the most exciting times in a young girl’s life is her first visit to a jewellery store.
Then again, I think that a lot of women never grow out of that feeling of excitement either!
There is something magical about looking at all of the sparkling pieces glittering in the jewellery store window and in the display cabinets, even if you cannot afford to buy everything that you see.

When she walks inside she may feel like a princess being able to try on all of the bracelets and necklaces with those cute designs.
It's certainly a joyful experience of watching her.

Of course, a jewellery store can also be an extremely romantic place.
Sound strange? Well, think about it
How many couples go to a jewellery store together to pick out their wedding rings? I know how electrifying it felt when my fiancé and I went to choose our wedding rings and finally found a jewellery store that had the perfect ones in their window. When we went inside we both had a feeling that this was going to symbolize the start of our new life together and the jewellery store played an important part in that.

I guess it doesn’t matter what you buy in a jewellery store, they always seem to have an air of something special about them.
It might be the fact that there are a lot of expensive items around and everything is shimmering with that newly-cleaned look that only new jewellery seems to have!

Sometimes it is easy to feel a little underdressed, especially when you enter some of the more exclusive types of jewellery store that you have to ring a bell to be let into.
I do like to take a look around the local jewellery store when I need cheering up. Mmmmmh, well, I cheer up as well when I look at our exhibition glass cabinet and the shelves with our own jewellery.
I enjoy the great feeling to not only look at some great jewellery, but to look at pieces of art made by myself.
It might sound silly but maybe you should try it too – all that brightness around me certainly seems to rub off and raise my spirits.

And should you visit us in our showroom which is much like a jewellery store as well I'll be delighted to show you everything.
