Description
In this week's episode, Jess chats to Anna Sweet, a jewellery maker who specializes in creating unique pieces with a focus on storytelling, who also features in episode one of the Handmade Jewellers. Anna discusses her journey in the jewellery business, which hit a rough patch when she felt demotivated and lacked creativity. She even contemplated quitting her business. However, after taking a break and stepping back from the pressure, she found renewed inspiration. A pivotal moment came when she created the "ribbon ring," a charming piece inspired by Victorian jewellery, which went viral on TikTok. This unexpected success reignited Anna's passion for her craft, leading to opportunities like showcasing her work at Selfridges. Through her story, Anna emphasizes the importance of allowing oneself to take breaks, experiment, and create for personal fulfillment rather than solely for commercial success.
