One~Woman Operation

About Modern Gems Blog 

I am the sole owner and creator of Modern Gems. I am a one~woman operation.
I realize how much work goes into everything.
My hands are involved in every aspect of my business and that is exactly how I like it.
From the packaging to creating and blogging.

Thinking of an idea, getting the words out, uploading/editing/taking photos and then publishing the final entry. Now think of doing all of this at least 3x wk, maintaining a household, creating designs and social networking.
All to promote my small business.

This website is not only a gallery of my handmade gemstone jewelry made just for you but also a way for the readers to find the latest jewelry trends, tips on how to care for you jewelry, to educate my readers on precious/semi~precious gemstones and other jewelry materials used in today's modern world. I'm here to also show and explain to my readers, what I do to create my piece, my designs process and inspiration.

The slang word/acronym/abbreviation OOAK, What does it means...

You see the expression OOAK in online conversation, but what exactly does OOAK mean?

What is OOAK? 

This Internet Slang stands for "one of a kind," which is an acronym that is widely used on the Internet by artists who make original items.

Making wire jewelry is very time demanding. A simple looking design can take several days to finish. The items are priced accordingly, for its originality.
