5 Reasons Why I Love Making Jewelry

Handcrafted yellow gold necklaces

Owning my own business is no easy feat, but doing what I love to do while making a business out of it is the most gratifying accomplishment. As we all get ready for our Labor Day weekend getaways, here is my reflection on my labor of love: making jewelry. 

handcrafted gold necklaces

1) Momentos

Most may think of jewelry as fashion accessories, but to me they are much more than just adornments. They mark very important moments in my life – some blissful and some sad, but all beautiful moments. For instance, my Lava Drop Lariat necklace always takes me back to my very close (and hot) encounter with an active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. The magnificence of Mother Nature took my breath away as a child and she’s consequently my main inspiration of my jewelry line. My 18K yellow gold Snoopy pendant that my mom gave me when I started Kindergarten to ease my nerves of making new friends still comforts me well into my 30’s. My Compass Opal Ring reminds me of my adventurous grandpa and our exciting fishing trips we took together. Like the compass on his boat that always guided us in right direction, I know my grandpa is always keeping me on track even after his passing. My engagement and wedding rings fill my heart with bursting love for my husband and bring a huge smile on my face thinking about our fun, dance party wedding day. Jewelry is a timeless keepsake and the big bonus is it comes in a fashionable package.

2) Art is self-expression

Before I started Misa Jewelry, I was working in finance and then for a Major League Baseball team (such a normal path to jewelry, right?). Although I LOVED my coworkers and my bosses, I always felt that the job I was doing was not supposed to be my life’s work. I found myself always taking art classes after work and on the weekends. I took many local classes from soap-pouring to candle-making to sewing pajama bottoms with senior citizens. I realized soon enough that I was spending hours in these crafting classes not only because I was bored at work, but I was losing myself at work and desperately needing an outlet for self-expression. And now with my jewelry line, I have the opportunity to pour my heart and soul into each jewelry design, and in turn, my sweet clients can express themselves through my designs. Such a wonderful circle of life this is.

3) Gemstones heal
Whether or not you believe in crystal healing, if you just look at a beautiful gemstone, doesn't it make you feel instantly good? I hand-select all of the gemstones I use because this meditative process is perhaps my most favorite part of jewelry-making. When I stare into an opal, I'm lost at sea far away from the city chaos. Holding a rainbow moonstone transforms me into a powerful zen goddess. Diamonds give me the sudden urge to raise my arms in the air and shine. Gemstones all have their own individual meaning but I always tell my clients that it's what the stone means to YOU that really matters. What purpose does it serve you? What does it symbolize for you? How does it make you feel? I love wearing the beautiful gemstones I collect from all over the world and I hope you feel the love that I infuse into them.

4) Make people happy

Another reason why I started making jewelry is pretty simple: WHO DOESN’T LOVE RECEIVING JEWELRY? I remember where every piece of my jewelry came from because I remember feeling very touched receiving it or buying it. Whether you’re celebrating an event or person in your life, jewelry is always the perfect gift.

5) Jewelry is forever

Do you load your car with bags full of clothes and shoes to donate after a massive closet cleanout every year like I do? Do you ever have precious jewelry pieces in those bags like I NEVER do? That’s because jewelry is truly lasts for more than a lifetime while clothing and shoes suffer damages and trends. In fact, the wear-and-tear of jewelry actually make the jewelry more meaningful and on their way to heirloom status as they get passed on to future generations. Jewelry is forever.

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Which piece of jewelry will you be packing for your trip?

I never thought I would be the kind of person to question the loyalty of someone I loved so deeply. For years, I believed trust was something that came naturally in a relationship, something you didn’t have to fight for or second-guess. But life has a way of testing even the strongest beliefs, and mine was tested in a way I never expected.
It started with small things—subtle changes that were easy to ignore at first. My partner became distant, more protective of their phone, and less emotionally available. Conversations that once flowed effortlessly became short and forced. At first, I blamed stress, work pressure, or even myself. I told myself I was overthinking, that I needed to be more understanding.
But deep down, something didn’t feel right.
The feeling grew stronger each day, turning into anxiety that I couldn’t shake. I found myself overanalyzing every little detail—late replies, unexplained absences, sudden changes in routine. It was exhausting, both mentally and emotionally. I felt stuck between wanting to trust and fearing the truth.
I knew I needed clarity, not assumptions.
That was when I decided to take a step back and approach the situation differently. Instead of acting out of fear or jumping to conclusions, I focused on finding the truth in a way that wouldn’t destroy me in the process. I reached out for guidance and support—someone who could help me understand what I was dealing with and how to handle it wisely.
The process wasn’t about invading privacy or doing anything harmful. It was about gaining clarity, observing patterns, and understanding behaviors that I had been ignoring. I started paying closer attention—not just to actions, but to consistency, communication, and emotional connection.
What I discovered wasn’t easy to accept.
There were clear signs that my partner had been emotionally involved elsewhere. It wasn’t something dramatic or obvious at first, but the evidence became undeniable over time. Conversations lacked sincerity, priorities had shifted, and there was a clear disconnect between words and actions.
I won’t lie—it hurt deeply.
There’s a different kind of pain that comes with realizing someone you trusted has not been completely honest with you. It shakes your confidence, your self-worth, and your understanding of the relationship. But as painful as it was, I also felt something unexpected…
Relief.
Relief that I was no longer living in confusion. Relief that I wasn’t “overthinking” or imagining things. Relief that I finally had the clarity I needed to make a decision about my life.
That clarity changed everything.
Instead of reacting with anger or desperation, I chose to handle the situation with calmness and self-respect. I confronted my partner—not with accusations, but with facts and observations. The conversation was difficult, but it was necessary. And in that moment, everything became clear.
There was no more denial.
What followed wasn’t easy, but it was empowering. I made the decision to prioritize myself—my peace, my dignity, and my future. For the first time in a long while, I felt in control again.
Looking back now, I realize that what I needed wasn’t just answers—I needed strength. Strength to face the truth, strength to accept it, and strength to move forward.
This experience taught me some powerful lessons:
Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it’s worth paying attention to.
Clarity is better than confusion — even painful truth is better than endless doubt.
Self-respect matters more than holding on — never lose yourself trying to keep someone else.
You deserve honesty — always.
Today, I’m in a much better place—mentally, emotionally, and personally. I’ve grown stronger, wiser, and more aware of what I truly deserve in a relationship. The experience didn’t break me; it rebuilt me.
If you’re in a situation where you feel uncertain, confused, or emotionally drained, I want you to know this—you’re not alone. It’s okay to seek clarity. It’s okay to ask questions. And most importantly, it’s okay to choose yourself.
Because at the end of the day, peace of mind is priceless.

If you ever feel like something is off in your relationship, you’re not alone. A lot of people go through periods of doubt or uncertainty.
The most important thing is to communicate openly and avoid making decisions based on fear or assumptions. Sometimes what we think is happening isn’t actually the full picture.
Take your time, ask questions, and protect your peace

CRYPTO SCAM LOSS AND RECOVERY WITH SEFTYHUB SOLUTIONS My name is Isabel Abdi, and sharing this is not easy for me, but I believe it might help someone avoid the pain I went through. I lost $637,000.00 to an online scam, and it’s something I never imagined could happen to me. It started very simply. I met a man while scrolling online. At first, it was just normal conversation nothing suspicious. He was calm, respectful, and seemed genuinely interested in my life. Over time, we spoke more often, and I began to trust him. Looking back now, I realize how carefully everything was planned. He later introduced me to cryptocurrency and told me how he had been making consistent profits. I didn’t rush into it at first. I asked questions, did a bit of research, and even checked reviews online. Everything looked convincing. Slowly, I allowed myself to believe it was a real opportunity. I started investing small amounts, and the platform showed profits almost immediately. That gave me confidence. Each time I invested more, the numbers kept growing. It felt exciting, like I was finally making a smart financial move. But when I tried to withdraw my money, everything changed. There were delays, then excuses, then sudden fees I had to pay before any withdrawal could be processed. At that point, I felt something was wrong, but I was already too deep in. I kept hoping it would work out, but it never did. That’s when the truth hit me I had been scammed. The emotional impact was heavy. I felt embarrassed, angry, and completely drained. Losing that amount of money is something that stays with you mentally and emotionally. While searching for help, I came across SEFTYHUB SOLUTIONS. To be honest, I was very skeptical. After what I had been through, trusting anyone again felt almost impossible. But I still decided to try. From the beginning, they treated me differently. They were clear, patient, and professional. They explained the process step by step and kept me updated. Slowly, I started to feel a bit of hope again. To my surprise and relief, they were able to recover my funds successfully. I can’t fully describe the feeling it was like getting my life back after thinking everything was lost. I’m truly grateful, and I don’t take it for granted. If you’re going through something similar, please be careful and don’t ignore red flags. And from my experience, I can honestly recommend SEFTYHUB SOLUTIONS. EMAIL::

I was rescued from my unfaithful husband by SEFTYHUB a reliable hacker i hired to get me a prove to divorce him. My spouse has been using my money to support his family outside of our marriage. His frequent requests for money, which he was using to support his family, and his secret late calls eventually made me suspect. I was so frustrated that I had to look for a hacker to spy on his phone, and to my amazement, this group confirmed my suspicions. The address of his other family, where he was spending some quality time while I was at work, was among the proof of his messages and calls that the hackers had.
