5 out of 5 starsI bought this blue jay feather in glass necklace as a gift for my mom for Mother’s Day. She recently lost her mom and blue jays have always reminded her of her mom. When I gave this to my mom she was overwhelmed by not only the sentiment but the beauty of this necklace. She wears it almost every day and receives so many compliments. It really is such a beautiful and unique piece. I was very impressed by the quality and care that went into packing this necklace. Overall I highly recommend this item and this shop in general. Very happy with my purchase and would shop here again.

5 out of 5 starsLove the product! I ordered a custom size which was 20 percent larger than the original, with light copper finish. It was a gift for my fiancé for his birthday. He will use it to store overnight his watch, bracelet and ring. He loves it. It was a pleasure to work with the seller!!

Hello and welcome!
My name is Helena. I'm a self taught artist from Kingston, Ontario who likes to travel, dream and play with glass. My favorite way to create is to look at something and imagine whether it can be made in glass. I play with shapes and textures and try to express monochromatic beauty in simple things.
The name of my brand — here&now — originates from my credo: "To live life here and now". It is a mix of cold industrial and warm natural materials. It stands for minimalism and origami-like geometric shapes.
All items, from design to final polish, are made by me in my Kingston home based studio. My studio is my life - time flies here. I feel so alive and excited while creating something new. And it is so important for me to know that you like what I've made. I talk about your orders over dinner, and remember you when you come back to get something else. I love my returning customers!
Every your purchase helps me to continue doing what I love to do most of all - creating glass jewelry and objects. Thank you for shopping handmade and supporting small business!
Work hard, leave your comfort zone, despite of failure try again and again, be a perfectionist, be passionate, insane, outstanding, and create like you live only here and now ;)
Yours, Helena
