Welcome to online boutique and gallery of Chrystal Rankin - Jewellery Artist
I've decided after months of ummming and ahhhing that I'm closing down.
As much as I love to make jewellery, it just isn't there inside of me anymore. I can't make anything good without that special something that was deep down inside , that has seemed to have disappeared. I believe my jewellery making was a part of my recovery from depression. It was where I would bury myself on my worst days, craving the healing powers of certain gems, and just enjoying the peacefulness of doing something with my hands. It let me create something other than tears and black thoughts, and now that I have won this battle, I seem to have nothing left to feed the muse, and I am now without inspiration.
So for now, I'm giving this craft a break. As you can see, all my jewellery has been heart-brokenly dramatically reduced, and over the next few days I will be listing the majority of my bead stock also. It is time to give this away, but I hope deep down inside that I will one day find the pleasure of this craft once again.
I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me over the years, encouraged me, and appreciated me. Even though these last few years have been some of the hardest in my life to get through, they have been the nicest in how people have responded to what I loved to do. Thank you!
