Meet the Maker: KraftouchTreasures
Designing and creating jewelry commence on a beautiful spring of year 2000. Aloha, from the busy world of architecture to jewelry making. I am a self taught jewelry designer. I learned every techniques and designs by browsing through books and magazines and practically doing it all by myself while taking care of my two little daughters. Inspired with the warmth of the beautiful island of Hawaii blessed with year long summer, I transform delicate beads and precious jewelry findings into a distinctive “work of art” and take special attention to every piece of jewelry I designed with the high aspirations to satisfy your unique "sense of individuality". I take pleasure in providing you special pieces that aren't mass produced so many of my pieces are one of a kind or of limited quantity. My mom I would say is a gifted crafter in crocheting, she's my sparing partner.
I was also an instructor/demonstrator at OLELO TV with Carole Mitos show -Hawaii's Hobbies and Crafts, a volunteer work I did for 6 months, that had allowed me to explore the world outside the 4 corners of my home studio. I have truly found the simple pleasures of life and enjoyed making jewelry away from the complicated demands of the construction world which I have given up to attend to the needs of my two girls. From drafting board to beadboard, my passion for crafting and jewelry making is such a treasure I hold close to my heart because it allowed me to enjoy the wonderful growing years of my two girls, that's how I came up with my company's name "Kraftouch Treasures".
Jewelry making and crafting are my "haven of rest", keep me all alive from all the challenges in life.
A portion of the sales will be donated to the 8th Grade SJBC graduating class.
