When 90% of your business comes from weddings and

When 90% of your business comes from weddings and events, and both have pretty much been cancelled this year.....sometimes just before you fall asleep you have a moment where you hear the word.... ‘shit’.
.
.
I haven’t even thought about how this will affect me next year.... as so often the seeds I sow are harvested much later on.
.
.
I’ve literally not stopped problem solving since March. My brain is so tired, but the solutions seem to be working, and a tiny little whisper in my ear will say ‘Kate Frank Mac you can’t stop now.’
.
.
I haven’t once been worried about getting sick this year. Im fit, strong and resilient like that.... just doesn’t phase me, and I just didn’t allow this to be a concern of mine.
.
.
But losing my business and everything I’ve work for, has been at the forefront of my mind.
.
.
So..... (stop rambling) I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me. From simple ‘likes’ and ‘follows’, messages of encouragement, to the final purchase. Probably at a time where you too are feeling a mixture of emotions, in this seemingly gratuitous situation.
.
.
Your kind actions are literally nudging me along, and I’m utterly grateful for the community I have, both personally and in the social media world.
.
.
Seriously, thank you! So much love ! 🧡✨

NEW MOON ✨🌕🌙🌑✨
.
.
@moonomens : Every New Moon inaugurates another cycle of growth. offering us the opportunity to start anew, to begin a new chapter in our lives.
.
.
New Moons represent the first stage of the lunar cycle, and this is the perfect moment for intention setting and conscious manifestation: the Cosmos encourages us to plant a seed, to define a clear vision for the future, and have faith in its unfolding.

It’s everyone’s favourite : the Ecart ring 💜💜
.
.
Each one is made to order, and is a brilliant design if you’re not sure on which size or finger you want to wear the ring on, as the Ecart Ring can be separated or pushed closer together.

🧡✨ Personalised ✨🧡
.
.
This garnet ring has been personalised for my customer Emily.
.
.
With a gold ring shank and 15 dimples around the gem. The number 15 really resonates with her and therefore she jumped at the chance to have that specific number hammer into the silver.

GARNETS 🧡✨🧡✨🧡✨🧡
.
.
Same same, but different.
.
.
Each of the garnets are 100% unique, from their shape to their colour, and consequently so are each of the rings. .
.
.
One customer wanted hammered dimples around the gem (to match her Luna Ring), and the other customer didn’t.
.
.
Each ring is made using solid silver with a 9ct yellow gold bezel !

A pearl is formed when an ‘irritant’ enters a living shell mollusc, and is coated in concentric layers of hard glistening calcium.
.
.

The pearl represents the transition of taking something problematic, and turning it to something special and beautiful. Hence the phrase ‘No Grit, No Pearl’.
.
.
This sweet necklace is a little reminder that sometimes our hardest moments can eventually bring us something rare, fine, admirable and valuable. .
.
.
Something everyone can surly relate to this 2020.

MEMORIAL ✨💫
.
.
I feel really quite honoured to have made this ring, due to its personal dedication to someone significant passing away.
.
.
My customer wanted to honour her late granddad with a piece of jewellery, using both their birthstones. Hers, diamond (April) and his, Sapphire (September), in a delicate and one of a kind shape based on her favourite rings she had seen online.
.
.
Inside, is a personal engraving of her granddad’s initials and the ring is made from solid platinum, as to match her engagement and wedding rings.
.
.
As I said, an absolute honour to make something so meaningful and personal. 💛💙

Factoids about GARNETS 📖📕 . . People have us

Factoids about GARNETS 📖📕
.
.
People have used garnets for jewelry and decorative objects for millennia. It’s one of the oldest known gemstones. Archeologists have recovered garnet necklaces and talismans from Ancient Egyptian tombs and mummies.
.
.
The belief that garnets have the power to shield their wearers from harm is very widespread. Saxon and Celtic kings favored garnet inlaid jewelry because of this supposed protection.
.
.
Garnet’s color and inner fire could also presumably stir a person’s creative energy. Garnets have been symbolically associated with life force, especially the feminine life force.
.
.
Because of garnet’s association with pomegranate seeds (the blood red coloured variety) , the stone has come to stand for the safe return of a friend or loved one. Garnets were said to protect travelers on their journeys and were often exchanged between friends as tokens that they would meet again.

2013 amazing year

2014 worse year of my life.

2015 can’t remember it, but decided to quit teaching and set up my business. So stressed, so sad, so lost, a lot of emotional pain.

2016 can’t remember it, but was working part time (teaching) and setting up my business. Felt seriously lost and skint. Abandonment from people.

2017 changed careers (September) and got engaged, personally still felt pretty lost. Started to break away from people and things not serving me.

2018 lost my awful job (thank fuck), got married (🧡) , got another job (I hated), decided to go 100% freelance. Felt pretty lost and scared.

2019 said yes to everything. Started personal development courses. Had to learn how to reconcile all that had happened in the past 5 years. Then Relocated.

2020 The World collapses, remembered how tough and badass I was, felt more happy, more in control and less lost.😂😂 - grew tomatoes and flowers. Ran a successful business through a pandemic ! Boom town
.
.
I still have my moments, I’m not a robot. But each tiny scary, painful step has had important significance to who I am today. Take no shit, cause no harm.

My customer wanted to remodel old gold rings to make a new piece of jewellery for her self.

The inspiration behind the design was her daughter’s ring. So we incorporated an eternity style ring but with a modern look.

From me to me
.
.
If you caught my story in the week I was discussing how more and more women are buying their own ‘gifts’, and investing in themselves with their own money. I think women often put others first, and sometimes forget their own needs and wants, and especially now that women have more and more income and confidence, It’s totally brilliant to see how many invest their money back into themselves ! #womenwithmoney
