Fresno mother-daughter duo specializing in polymer clay earrings

06/09/2024 Syifa

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Claudia and Isabella, the mother-daughter duo behind “Morenita’s Creations,” are channeling their creativity into wearable artwork.

“I randomly get epiphanies of what I should make,” Isabella said.

The 12-year-old doesn’t look for trends — she thinks about her community and what would best suit them.

Some showcase her love of watercolors, while others honor her culture.

Whether it’s a holiday or an ode to their heritage, the eye-catching pieces make a statement.

“In our creations, we give a little of our Latino flair, so Dia de los Muertos for example, or things that remind us of growing up,” Claudia said.

Claudia’s family is from Guadalajara Jalisco.

“I wanted to capture some of the colors we saw when we went and visited the pinks, the vivid blues,” Claudia said.

The business started as a pandemic project.

“We tried baking, but it didn’t turn out great and we tried painting, but I would get frustrated at the paints,” Isabella said.

They found their passion in polymer clay and perfected their ability to treat, mold, paint and bake original pieces.

Initially, the single mom just wanted to show her kids how to give back to the community, gifting earrings

Pandora Now Only Sources Recycled Metals for Its Jewelry

01/09/2024 Syifa

Pandora, known for its affordable sterling-silver charm bracelets, is the world’s largest jewelry company by volume: The Danish chain sells more than 100 million pieces annually. This week, it announced that it is now sourcing only 100-percent-recycled silver and gold for its collections.

The move was touted as an important step by a massive company to reduce its environmental footprint. “We wanted to lead by example,” Pandora’s chief executive, Alexander Lacik, said in an interview. “If we can make positive contributions to society through our use of recycled gold and silver, it means anyone can do it.”

By working with metals that have already been mined, Pandora won’t be digging deeper in search of new materials, allowing the company to substantially reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Mining requires more energy and resources than recycling and is a leading source of mercury pollution. In a 2020 news release announcing its shift to recycled metals, Pandora cited statistics from the World Gold Council and other entities showing that the process of recycling gold reduces emissions by about 99 percent compared to mining it, while recycling silver reduces carbon emissions by about 66 percent compared to mining it.

Vancouver Island jewelry dealer targeted by thieves for 22nd time – BC

25/08/2024 Syifa

A Vancouver Island jewelry dealer says he’s taking a hard look at whether he wants to stay in business, after being broken into yet again.

Jeff Ross, who owns Gold Silver Guy shops in Nanaimo, Qualicum and Duncan, said the break-in Tuesday night was his 22nd in 25 years and the fifth this year alone.

What’s more, this is the third time thieves have been able to get into one of his shops through an unconventional method, and one he has little to no defense against.

The thieves, he said, were able to break through a wall of concrete cinder blocks at his Qualicum location, before cutting out the security system and eventually breaking into the safe.

Will the next generation of wearables be earrings and jewellery? University of Washington researchers think so

02/08/2024 Syifa

University of Washington researchers have created a thermal earring that could be the first in a new generation of wearables

The wireless wearable collects health data from the earlobe

It shows promise for measuring signs of stress, eating, exercise and ovulation

There are ambitions to make this into a jewelery range for health monitoring

University of Washington researchers have created a wireless wearable in the form of a thermal earring that continuously monitors a user’s earlobe temperature.

In a study of six users, the earring outperformed a smartwatch at sensing skin temperature during periods of rest. It also showed promise for monitoring stress, eating, exercise and ovulation.

About the size and weight of a small paperclip, the earring has a magnetic clip that attaches one temperature sensor to a wearer’s ear, while another sensor dangles about an inch below it for estimating room temperature.

The earring can be personalized with fashion designs made of resin, without negatively affecting its accuracy.

Co-lead author Qiuyue (Shirley) Xue, a UW doctoral student in the Paul G Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering says many people find smartwatches and rings unfashionable, bulky or uncomfortable so earrings could be a viable alternative.
