A journey into the world of gemstones.
I am a passionate traveler with a keen interest in minerals, gemstones, and jewelry making. This fascination 25 years ago during my first trip to Asia, where I bought a handful of stones out of sheer curiosity at a local market. Since then, I have been captivated by the beauty of these natural wonders and have dedicated myself to expanding my knowledge of minerals at a deeper level.
I delved into studying and collecting gems and quickly realized the importance of presenting them in a suitable manner. As a result, I decided to acquire skills in jewelry making and create my first collection. The name Freesize was inspired by the gemstone market's terminology, where a "freesize stone" refers to a stone that is not calibrated for standard size but is cut in a way that maximizes its value. Freesize gemstones are ideal for one-of-a-kind handmade pieces, whereas calibrated stones are typically used in the jewelry industry for mass production.
As my work progressed, I found myself with less and less time for traveling, though I still try to do so whenever possible. However, I still felt the need to stay connected with the world. Thus, I opened an Etsy shop, which gave me the opportunity to share my creations worldwide and connect with an incredible community of artists.
Each of my pieces is meticulously handcrafted using natural gems and sterling silver. I personally handpick every stone to ensure its quality, and I design each piece of jewelry to enhance the stone's beauty while paying attention to every detail.
In my shop, you will find versatile jewels that can be worn casually or for more formal occasions. A well-chosen piece of jewelry can elevate any outfit and add a touch of sophistication.
Please feel free to browse my shop and explore my creations. If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my passion, and I appreciate your support.
