Jewelry Design | Handmadefairy

As the founder and designer of Handmadefairy, I create handcrafted wire jewelry inspired by nature, music, and emotion. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, formed with care using only hand tools and simple pliers. I’ve sold and promoted my collections through Instagram and local exhibitions, building a loyal following through authenticity and craft.
