Your designs are so beautiful. I’ve always admired your talent and your eye for beauty.
I do hope you have success in your ‘other’ career, but Etsy will miss you!

Are your Pink tourmaline rondelle/Sterling silver hugger earrings still available? And if so, how much? They are so pretty!

Hi Tamara, sorry, the pink huggers earrings sold out. Thank you ginger and Karen for lovely comments…! :-)

I have been an admirer of your jewelry since I found you on eBay ages ago. You really have quite some talent! I wish you the best, but hope you keep making fabulous jewelry, too–so I can acquire more!

Ha! I see that the 1st paid of earrings, the amethyst briolettes, were the ones I bought from you. They’re one of my favorite pair and so comfy to wear. I get lots of compliments on these too! =^..^=

Hi Rae,
I currently live in Nowon-gu, and was wondering where I could find some jewelry/beading markets. I saw the previous post about the store near Jungno 3-ga, but I was wondering if this is only jewelry tools, or does this store also carry beads and hardware? I have heard that there is a market in Dongdaemun as well, but I have yet to find it. If you could, please send me a list of bead markets in Seoul.
Thank you so much!

Hi Sara,
The stores around Jongno 3-ga are all about jewelry-making tools and supplies. Beads are aplenty at Namdaemun market (see here: http://www.raescreations.com/blog/2007/bead-shopping-at-namdaemun-market-seoul/ ) and also there’s a floor full of bead shops in one of the Dongdaemun shopping complexes. One of the Dongdaemun stores have this address:
서울특별시 종로구 종로6가 289-3 동대문종합상가 B동 5136
Hope you will find what you are looking for!
best, Rae

Dear Miss Rae,
I had a very lovely note ready for you and just as I was about to hit send one errant keystroke made it *poof* into oblivion. I shall start again.
I wanted to thank you for the wonderfully thorough photo record of your sister Nami’s wedding to Mr. Lee! My brother is an American living in South Korea and is recently engaged to a very sweet girl named Boyeon. I stumbled upon your blog while searching the internet for Korean wedding traditions and photos of traditional hanboks. Your beautiful collection of photos and the accompanying commentary was the most educational information by far, not to mention the most entertaining! I can relate to you as the older, unmarried daughter getting pressure from the family to get married and have babies. Thank you so much for sharing all of it!
I also looked at your jewelry gallery, your pieces are beautiful! I was wondering about the ha-m jewelry gifts and if any of your pieces would be appropriate for that. I would love to include one of your pieces in the ha-m chest.
Thank you again for sharing all of your wonderful pictures and educational captions! I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Stacey Simmons
