My Choice ArtFire Shop - Jewelry Works by Kim

I have been seeing this shop's avatar quite frequently on forums. It seems to be one of those avatars that just stick in your mind. I am glad that I visit the shop as there was some wonderful items here.

Jewelry Works by Kim seems to be the everyday woman's favorite jewelry shop. Currently having 50 items on sale, all the items are simple but has that little 'something' that makes it look very interestng. They are made with some unique looking beads and findings that gives the pieces character.

I also like the style of photography used in the shop. Colours are not too contrasting and the background is quite consistent giving the shop a complete and harmonious feel to it. Prices are very affordable to. Also there is a weekend sale on now!

My Choice ArtFire Shop - HarmonArt

My choice ArtFire Shop for this Saturday is HarmonArt! This wonderful and unique ArtFire shop is the work of husband and wife, Brian and Emily Harmon. Even their avatar is a picture of them both. I get a great sense of family warmth here and it is wonderful to see a couples working together!


Thier items are unique as this is the first time (maybe need more exposure?) I've seen gourd that are so beatifully decorated and used in so many different ways. Coming from a Chinese background dried gourd in ancient China were used as a water bottle or to keep wine. In mordern day Chinese culture, the gourd symbolises longevity in feng shui. So this is a wonderful give for someones birthday, it will be like wishing the person will have a long and good life!


The rest of the shop is filled with earthenware in a warm autumn tone. There are bowls, decorative items, jewelry ... etc, which I find to be very practical and useful. They will make the perfect gift for a nature lover!

My Choice ArtFire Shop - Yours Truli

My choice this Saturday is Yours Truli - a shop with unique Renaissance/Victorian Vintage styled jewelry handmade from a combination of real vintage and brand new components.

What I like about Yours Truli?
Consistency. Yes, I am a sucker for all things uniformed, all things that come in the same looking package and comes in a set, just like those miniature cosmetic give away bags. However, Yours Truli has a consistent style not only with the jewelry pieces that is on sale but also the way it is photographed and presented.

The description is a little too long for people who are just browsing, but it provides sufficient information for the person who is close to making a purchase. We normally browse shops, zoom in on one or two items, then read about them to know what we are purchasing. For this reason the description does help alot. All Yours Truli items again is consistantly described by materials used, over all look and style of the piece, size and other information.
