Encouraged by advice from my colleagues and partner, I decided to try making small accessory items.
I started by gathering the tools I needed.
I chose a soldering iron suitable for delicate work, similar to what is used for electronic circuit boards, and carefully selected parts for handmade earrings one by one.
After making the earrings, I also created original earring cards as a trial, keeping future sales in mind.
Spending time thinking about the designs was a very enjoyable and exciting experience.
These pieces are still prototypes, but I would like to keep improving them little by little and gradually enhance their quality.
For now, I will keep this as a record of my making process.
I have been looking for glass in my birth color for quite some time, but I haven’t yet found one that truly feels right.
The glass used in these earrings becomes more vivid when it catches the light, giving me a sense that it is close, but not quite there.
I will continue creating, hoping that one day I will find the perfect piece of glass.
