About me
Hello, nice to have you here! I would like to introduce myself personally:
My name is Simone, I am 31 years old and I work as a veterinary nurse specializing in intensive care medicine.
I love my job and the direct care of my patients. You may not be able to talk to them directly, but you feel their gratitude when you help them and for me there is no better feeling than the affection of an animal!
Animals have been my passion all my life - it's where my heart is drawn to.
In my private life, I am a humorous, adventurous, curious, inquisitive and empathetic person who loves to laugh and appreciates the beautiful moments in life.
Our cat Gisi has been with us since the end of 2023, she is a toothless, cream-colored Tonkanese.
She loves lying in the sun - or at least being somewhere near us - cuddling, doing clicker training with me and is our undisputed princess. ♥
How it all began...
Are you wondering how I came to create these imprint jewelry pieces?
Let me tell you more about it!
My beloved Tonkanese cat Anoush was my everything, we got him with his sister Aiko when I was 10 years old. He had been with me through thick and thin - he was such a unique cat! ♥
In November 2021, Anoush died of old age at the age of 17.
In my job you see a lot of very tragic and sad farewells, which made it a little easier for me to say goodbye to him, as he was allowed to cross the Rainbow Bridge by himself, without pain or fear.
Anoush fell asleep with me in my arms for years - it was our daily little ritual. When he was suddenly gone, I even needed a cuddly toy to fall asleep - the gap he left behind was just too big. I missed him so much!
I realized that I wanted to have something tangible of him with me.
So I looked for a piece of memorial jewelry to immortalize him and keep him close to my heart.
Then I found someone who created an imprint of his nose as a pendant.
I wore this necklace practically every day from then on. It helped me to give space to my grief and pay my respects to him. ♥
In 2024, I suffered a burn-out for various reasons, was depressed and went to a clinic to find myself again.
There I found my creativity again for the first time in years - my passion, curiosity and joy slowly returned, which I had almost lost.
I knew how good it was for my recovery to create something and I also wanted to fulfill my dream of having my own art-studio.
So I started thinking about what would unite all these things and bring my flow back - that's when Anoush's pendant came to my mind and how much it had helped me...
I thought to myself... why not try to make jewelry like this myself?
So Anoush had become my inspiration!
So I started finding out about jewelry making, buying materials, trying things out,
tinkering and creating...
First came my flyer, then my business cards, then my website...
Here you can see where the magic happens - in my own little creative corner, surrounded by the self-painted clinic pictures of the burn-out time, which give me strength and peace and at the same time bring me into my positive flow. ♥
I've covered myself with everything you need for a studio and could spend the whole day there!
And this is where I am now - I can pass on this profound feeling to others, and I am infinitely grateful to be able to share these wonderful stories and to think of my old grandpa Anoush every time I do. ♥
forever in my heart Anoush ♥
