From Beads to Metal: My Journey to Jewelry School in Japan
From making messy little bag charms in middle school to studying metalwork in a Japanese jewelry school, my journey has been anything but linear. I fell in love with jewelry during lockdown, turning beads and wire into tiny pieces of magic. Now, I’m learning real craftsmanship in Japan, surrounded by fire, metal dust, and inspiration everywhere. This blog is where I’ll share my process, life in Japan, travels, and the stories behind each piece I create.
