Hey there, lovely readers! It's Lavinia, and I'm absolutely thrilled to take a stroll down memory lane with you today. I started this blog, "Handmade by Lavinia," back in 2011. It's incredible how time flies, and how this little corner of the internet has transformed into something truly magical.
The Early Days of Handmade by Lavinia
Back in 2011, my journey began with a passion for crafting and creating handmade jewelry pieces. I poured my heart and soul into every piece, each one telling its own unique story. The blog was my creative outlet, a place where I shared my crafting adventures, DIY tutorials, and the inspirations behind my jewelry designs.
The Turning Point in 2018
Fast forward to 2018, and that's when the big transformation happened. It was time to take a leap and rebrand as "Magpie Gems." This wasn't just a change in name; it was a reflection of the evolution of my jewelry brand and the values it held dear.
Magpie Gems wasn't just about jewelry; it was about crafting timeless pieces that encapsulated stories of empowerment, life's milestones, and personal journeys. We were no longer just about handmade jewelry; we had grown into a brand with a deeper purpose.
Introducing the New Magpie Gems
Our new website, www.MagpieGems.ie, became the platform to showcase our exquisite creations. With a focus on silver jewelry made with nickel-free sterling silver, we introduced options for 24k gold or 18k rosegold plating, as well as Austrian crystals for that extra touch of elegance.
Celebrating Female Empowerment and Life's Moments
Magpie Gems proudly embraced the spirit of female empowerment and celebrated life's diverse experiences. Our jewelry became more than adornment; it became a symbol of love, inspiration, and personal growth. From graduations to grief, from births to birthdays, our pieces were designed to commemorate every precious moment in life.
Crafting Stories That Sparkle
Our signature gift boxes carried not just jewelry but the essence of these stories. Magpie Gems became a trusted companion in every life journey. We believed that jewelry should transcend adornment to become a testament of one's unique narrative.
Join Us in this Sparkling Journey
So, here we are, in 2023, with a brand that has grown from "Handmade by Lavinia" to "Magpie Gems." It's a journey of passion, creativity, and the joy of sharing beautiful stories through jewelry.
I invite you to explore www.MagpieGems.ie and discover the newest additions to our silver jewelry collection. Each piece is crafted with love, meaning, and the hope that it becomes a part of your unique story.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey from the very beginning. Let's continue to craft stories that sparkle for a lifetime.
With love and gratitude,
Lavinia
Founder of Magpie Gems
