1. I am from Montreal, Quebec, Canada and well, there is nothing much to say about my childhood, except maybe that I was always interested into Arts. I have been into Arts schools in the last 5 years and this year I`ll be completing my Illustration & Design tecnhique at Dawson College – yeah! I am a full time student with a part time job in an art store, and I just can`t live without drawing and painting ! 😀I started making jewlery a few years ago when I couldn`t find excaly what I was looking for. And yes, I am super picky ! 😛
2. To find my shop name was really hard… ! I hesitated a long time on a few japanese words, because I love that language and I love it’s sounds ! I finally gave in for Kirameku since I thought it represented so well the ambiance I wanted to give to my shop. It`s the word to describe the shine of the ocean and the diamonds, since I am addicted to everything that shines ! 😀

4. Yes ! I can`t wait to list them ! 😀 I will be having more artwork and more rings coming up, as well as new necklaces. I want to create a Fall and Winther collection to add up even more color to my store ! 😀
Right now, I am working on a Colombine watercolor, that, hopefully, will be done by today and listed soon ! 😀I am also thinking about maybe doing some wedding cake toppers, but I am still working on the idea.
5. My inspiration comes from nature for my jewlery or from fashion magazines for some pieces. I usually try to have the trendy colors in shop and I must say that I order pretty much anything that hits my eyes too ! 😛
6. I think you can see that I enjoy making them all, but I must admit that the one item I have the most fun with is my rings. I just can’t make enough of them, I always find a new combination, new colors to add. I just love how they can adapt to anything, may it be your everyday wear or your cocktail dress ! 😀7. Anything else… Well, it is my very first year on Etsy and I would like to thank everyone for their support, as I had to work a lot on my shop and I am so honored to see that I have so many hearted items !
I created my shop to bring you more colors and pieces for every budget so you can feel pretty and unique ! 😀
Your comments, suggestions are always welcomed, as well as custom orders !
Also, if you are living in Montreal, I have framed artwork that is currently exposed and for sale at the marvelous restaurant Le Papillon Blue at the border of the Old Port and ChinaTown.
Paper earrings! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I hadn’t until Kirameku and I partnered up to show them off! When I seen the earrings in Kirameku Etsy shop I was surprised that they were made of paper. They did not look like paper and I did not understand how anyone could make earrings out of paper!! Upon receiving the earrings I seen that in fact they are paper but I must say they are a much sturdier than you would expect. They also have some kind if sealer on them to add the beautiful shine. I am in love with these earrings. Normally I don’t wear earrings but with these it is different. They dangle much farther than I would expect but after putting them on I would not have had it any other way. They are also extremely light on my ears and I almost forget I am wearing them. I also think that the color is fantastic and allows me to wear the earrings with any outfit! What a creative idea Kirameku Had when making these cool paper earrings! You want to check them out, I know you do! But while you’re there also stop by and check out all of the other cool items that Kirameku has for sale in her Etsy shop!
