I just love.. love.. love jewelries.. the real ones especially (*wink).. I have an eye for those with a modern yet elegant design...so when someone pointed me to twinkle + sparks website, I fell in love instantly with almost everything they have on site. Today I just revisit twinkle + sparks website again and I just can't put off another day to share it with you all.
So the master mind behind this twinkling goodies is Kartika Pratiwi, she began twinkle + sparks on late June 2009. But as a hobbies, creating jewelries started after she graduated from high school when she stumbled on a jewelry book and started making them right away. The hobby continued even when she was in college in Toronto, Canada. While she was there she had a chance to wok at a bead store, there she got access to lot of knowledge of the materials and techniques on jewelry making.
Right after she went back to Jakarta,she spent a year working in an office environment and eventually decide to resign and help out her family business. But then she have always wanted to develop this hobby into a business. So she did. she started taking photos of the jewelries, set up a blogshop, and voila! It's running. In away, by pursuing her passion she is giving a tribute to her father who have always thought her to be responsible in whatever she chose to do in her life. When I asked her about her favorite materials to work with, here is her answer ( you can see, how passionate she is about her creation!):
"My favorite materials to work with will be the natural stones (especially), freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals. There's an intriguing element that I found in natural stones and freshwater pearls. I like their characteristics, differences to one another, shapes and colors. And the fact that they are all natural from mother nature (with the exception of human touch for the cutting), it makes it even better! As for Swarovski crystals, I love them because they give that extra sparkle with the multitude range of colors that they have."
