I love colors so so much.
But, I noticed that I don't have enough handmade items there can be worn with absolutely anything. Neutral silver, white black, zircon crystals - those will fit any outfit, you could wear them every single day and just make them a part of your consistent aesthetic or in events. They attract attention with their beauty and shine, yet don't take away any attention from you and your clothes
That's why I created the Zircon Set Series 💎

Important ❤️
The majority of my handmade work have very low delivery cost, as those items were left in London and delivered by my friend Tyra.
But, I made a ton of new handmade works in the past weeks and starting to upload them to the site. Those are items currently with me in Israel. The delivery fee is expensive for those if you buy them directly and want them shipped ASAP - but you can also ask me to book them to be sent from London next month and then the delivery fee would drop massively.

There's something I really struggle with which is very normalised being in queer circles and that's the lack of clear definitions and villainizing anyone attempting to reach clarity as anything-phobic.I do believe changing and opening definitions is necessary for progress, but still spoken and challenged logically to reach new clear definitions people can then use to communicate.Lack of definitions makes communication ineffective and is often the cause for confusion and insecurity in many of us.

I write posts about wanting to live in complete peace and equality as an Israeli Jew with Palestinians and already do with Arab Israelies. I speak about my family surviving the massacre and my hostage cousin. This person hurt me. They were hateful and harmful. I hope they don't get to harm other Jews the way that they hurt me. I'm already on antidepressants because of the 7th of October trauma. I would never message such a thing to anyone.

Today I was taken care of by a Palestinian Arab Israeli dentist in Tel Aviv - as almost always.
I find it madness that people think Palestinians in Israel are unequal. I was taken care of mainly by Palestinian doctors throughout my life to whom I'm grateful. I'm Israeli Jewish, Moroccan Iraqi.
When you criticise Israel remember 2.2 million Arab Israelis live here in prosperity, with equal rights to women and queers that don't exist in Palestinian territories. All we want is peace and equality.

I don't like getting political. It's just hard not to when my literal identity (just being Israeli Jewish) becomes a source of worldwide discussion and topic of hate and polarization. I don't want this.

My Dad asked me to make a necklace for the dog tags many Israelies wear in support of the families of the hostages saying:
Our hearts are held captive in Gaza. BRING THEM HOME NOW.
I added a teddy bear to emphasize our children and babies taken from their cribs, held in captivity.
A reminder that speaking about Jewish suffering doesn't mean I have anything against Palestinians. We're allowed to grieve our own family first and still care for all.

When you are boycotting #Israel you are boycotting 2.2 million Palestinian Israeli Arabs and hundreds of thousands of Druze, Bedouin and many other minorities I haven't seen one person mention in the past months, not only harming the Jews you actually intend to harm, yet insist you're not antisemitic.
I've been to Jaffa a few days ago. The Palestinian Israeli Arab economy is crashing because of the Houthies. I cried from speaking with a Palestinian woman who can't get her business merchandise.

I wanna make something very clear. I never in my life called myself a Zionist. In fact that word is pretty cringe for me because it's something only my grandparents ever said and it just feels old to me. With that said I inevitably fall into the definition of a Zionist by the fact I want to live in peace as a Jew in my homeland, and I want that and do so in fact, live in peace with Palestinians living here and in complete equality. I want the same for the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

I need to understand.
Why do people tell me I spread Zionist propaganda when I speak from life experience?
When I explain the massacre my parents were nearly slaughtered in but saved by IDF
When I speak of my kidnapped cousin Omer Neutra, American Israeli still held in Gaza
When I speak about the women ganged raped and mutilated and live streamed
When I send footage taken on that day
Why can't people criticise Israel while actually using facts?
Why do they need to gaslight me to make a point?

Question to other people who used to be poly but are now committed to 2 or more partners.
Do you still consider yourself poly?
If it's a triad long term committed relationship, do you tell people you're poly?
I just feel like it implies we're open to more relationships when we aren't, but saying monogamous doesn't make sense either.

(Been with one boyfriend for 3 years and the other for soon 1 year).

American anti-zionist Jews - you do not represent Israelies. Stop speaking as if you know our reality better just because you're Jewish. Stop letting people tokenize you. Just stop. The American colonialist mindset is showing on you when you think you know the reality of the middle east better than us and better than the majority of Jews who have come back to Israel from Africa and the midfield east.

Usually people let mirorities tell them what is offensive to them. For example, some neurodivergent people not liking the R word, and others respect it (though to be fair me and my neurodivergent friends don't mind it). People not using the N word towards people of color.

But for some reason, non Jewish people get to decide what is or isn't antisemitic, based on what, the 0.0001 percent of anti Zionist Jews?
That's tokenism. The absolute majority of Jews are in fact Zionists.

The hate on Bluesky is on a completely different level. I'm Iraqi Moroccan Israeli Jewish and someone told me to get back to Brooklyn (where I have never been and have never known anyone in). Every single thing I say about my own family experience surviving the massacre is "debunked". You can't debunk my literal life experience lmao. I didn't say one word against Palestinians, I only said the victims of the massacre matter - this is literally all I've said, and I got neverending hate comments.

A question for anyone who ever purchased any of my handmade works or is interested in any and didn't pick them up yet: What do you think about a jewellery subscription???
That would mean, subscribing on Patreon for maybe £20 a month and getting a free handmade item sent to you (of your choice). That would also be free delivery and no Etsy fees
That would also give you access to the blog and BTS content and a free patch and letter. Interested?
This option is now available:

Just uploaded a song demo to my Patreon. This little growing community is a cycle of love and it means the world to me. It's an intimate demo of a song I wrote today about letting go within a loving relationship, something I think about a lot lately.

Speaking about Jewish pain is not justifying the war - this is another conversation. I don't have any problem with people speaking about the suffering of Palestinians, even if I disagree with them about the cause of their suffering and how to end it.
JEWISH SUFFERING MATTERS TOO. I can't believe I'm a minority for saying this.

Bead by bead, every emotion gets released, every thought about aesthetics and expression is composed into handmade pieces, then hopefully, sent to people who would celebrate their unique beauty with those pieces. ❤️

I wrote this about the process of mental healing from many years of sexual and psychological abuse. Yet, it feels soft. My writing always counters my emotions, calms me down when things get to be too much.
Hope you like. The soul and body healing altogether, relearning how to smile, learning how to love oneself.
