After my last reel about accidentally starting a jewellery business 7 years ago, quite a few people asked me for my business blueprint. The truth is, I don’t really have one. When I started FPL, I had no jewellery knowledge, no metalsmithing skills, no photography skills, and definitely no understanding of SEO, marketing, shipping, customs, or taxes.
Every time I ran into a problem, I researched it.
When I was bad at sawing, I spent hours sawing.
When my soldering wasn’t working, I spent hours reading books, tutorials, and forum discussions trying to understand why.
When nobody was finding my website, I learned about keywords, meta titles, alt text, analytics, search engines, and social media algorithms.
Most of the skills behind this business were learned after I started.
And the learning never really stops.
In the past year alone, I’ve had to navigate tariff changes, rising shipping costs, changing customer behaviour, and multiple increases in metal prices.
So I researched new carriers, adjusted processes, compared options, and kept adapting.
That’s probably the closest thing I have to a blueprint. Not a secret formula.
Just solving one problem at a time.
What worked for me may not work for someone else. Different products, different audiences, different goals.
Advice can be helpful.
But eventually, you have to experiment, make mistakes, and figure out what works for your own brand.
There are shortcuts to information.
There are no shortcuts to experience.

When I was studying design in Köln, Germany, I lived beside a forest lake where a swan family raised their babies (I took these photos back then with my digital camera). Growing up in Hong Kong, I have never seen swans until that time. I never expected those quiet moments by the water to become one of the recurring stories in my work.

First came The Swan That Swam The Other Way. Then The Swan, Cygnet and The Moon. And now, the newest member of the swan family joins them. Inspired by a memory that followed me home.

Swipe through to meet the family. Every piece is slowly hand-sclupted with wax and cast into metals.

Some memories stay with you longer than you expect. Years ago, I watched a swan family raising their babies on a lake beside the forest where I lived. I never imagined they would eventually find their way into my jewellery.
What began as a fond memory eventually became a ring. It began as a piece of wax, then became silver. A swan, her cygnet, and a tiny star.
A small fragment of a memory, made wearable.

The cat lady brooch, unique piece, only one available. I am not sure why I only just made my very first brooch in my 6 years of metalsmithing. Would you be interested to see more brooches?
