My real name is Sarah but I have a few persona's namely 'Miss Bea' for my jewellery collection and vintage fashion blog missbeawants.wordpress.com/) and 'Workingberlinmum' for my personal blog that I write (workingberlinmum.blogspot.com/)
When did you start your shop?
I opened my Etsy shop very recently, at the end of September, but I have been making and selling jewellery through other resources since the beginning of the year.
Is this your only job?

When did you realize you had this talent?
I've always been a lover of jewellery, especially earrings and people would often comment on what I wore. At some point I just thought, hey, why don't I invest in a few tools and have a go at making some myself?! That started off a big passion in me and I have never looked back. I love making jewelery and adore the thought that great women are walking around wearing my pieces!
Where do you find your inspiration?
I love all things vintage, especially the 50's, 60's and 70's. I take inspiration from those era's, the jewelery around at the time, the colors, the shapes and I use a lot of genuine vintage beads.

A couple of people helped me out with a bit of a financial start up to get the first rounds of stock and tools that I need to get me up and running and I am very appreciative of that. My boyfriend knows I am a bit of a workaholic and I would happily spend 11 hours a day making new pieces, photographing them and putting them online and he has been very understanding of my need to constantly check my shop!
What is one thing you would like to accomplish that you haven't yet?
I dream of opening my own shop here in Berlin where I am based and I am working towards that. I would still keep the online element so that I can sell worldwide, but to have my own bricks and mortar shop would be a dream come true!

What are your words to live by or favorite quote?
''I walk slowly but I never walk backwards'', a quote from Abraham Lincoln. I have this quote tattooed on me and it acts as a reminder to always keep moving forward and to think as I go.
