Changes in Ophira's Website - Hearing wedding bell very near

Hi everyone and good week for you all!

Happy birthday to our beloved August-born fans!

So today is important day for Ophira's Jewelry. You may wonder for what, but please let me keep this as secret until good news come to me. Believe me, I have an urge of sharing the news with you more than anyone else, but again, I need to be patient and wait until I can confirm it's true :). So please be patient with me and cross fingers for my good news coming soon!

Recently I spent most of my time in the library, being a good student (well, you know, sort of) and trying to do as much research for my jewelry business as possible. Good news is that I finally could run away from the crazy heat in Tel Aviv during the day and bad news is that I spent less hours for making my jewelry. However, I finally found some business books I wanted to read (and now my bookshelves are full totally - IKEA is calling me in a very seductive voice lolz). I can never ever imagine myself, having a bachelor degree in business and used to own a business, still have to read tons of books in order to understand the concept of home-based business and web marketing. Especially the books for Dummies... am I a dummy already? ~(=__=")~.

Anyway, yesterday after a lot of effort in arranging my inventory and personal calendar effectively, I managed to make some new stuff for Ophira's Jewelry - tropical fruit tarts, flowers charm & little cute flower basket. I haven't had time to take the photos yet but will do it slowly within next few days. Hence the photo I use here is not really mine, I just use it as a reference photo for anyone who is curious what "fruit tart" looks like.

Also Ophira's Jewelry has a shocking change. Grand Sales have started, thereby if you visit us now, you can see that most of the prices are 50% OFF. The period is only until 31 Aug, so don't hestitate to order and save more!! 

Well, moreover, as I said my previous post, there are some major changes in ordering styles for Ophira's Jewelry products. You now can choose which kind of accessories/jewelry, which scent as well as which materials you want for your order.

For example, you want to order our Little Penguin and want it to be a necklace. However you are allergic to silver and you don't like steel/copper, now you can choose the most suitable chain you like for the order- in this case it's gold. Ophira's Jewelry wants to give you more options and being flexible with your order. Also the basic cost displayed now will only be the cost for the charm (Little Penguin), additional material cost will be added in according to your choice (necklace, earrings, hanging, bracelet,etc... or gold, silver chain, etc...). Hence "you only pay for what you want and what you like us to do" - said Ophira's Jewelry :)

If you have any question, email me at minh@ophirasjewelry.com or visit our website.

I will try to create detailed instructions for this change to help our visitors. Hope you guy like this change and continue supporting Ophira's Jewelry as usual!


Have a wonderful week and happy shopping with us!

With love,

Scented Jewelry & Grand Sales

Good day everyone!

Today is the day for Ophira's Jewelry (OSJ) monthly Newsletter to be delivered to your Inbox folder. Yet you haven't sign up for our mailing list, you can view it here for now and don't forget to SIGN UP HERE so you won't miss our Welcome Gift.

Lately I have informed you about my application process on first booth in Tel Aviv artist market. In case it doesn't ring a bell, you can review this post HERE. Anyway, I'm excited yet worried now as I have to bring all the samples to committee to convince them that my jewelry is in perfect condition. And it also means that I need to make more samples and designs. Ow!__(>_<)__ Whatever, my adrenaline is up, thereby nothing can stop me lolz. :)


This is our very good news after months waiting. Hence I have decided to launch a special GRAND SALES for Ophira's Jewelry: 50% OFF for all items (except on sales items & new collection). So what are you still waiting for? SHOP NOW & SAVE EVEN MORE before it ends. Promotion only lasts until 31 Aug 2010.

Moreover, I have developed my Polymer Clay jewelry in a brand new direction: Scented Jewelry. As you can see from most of my new tag, it was referred as "Scented Earrings", which I found the way to absorb the scent from fragrance oil to our jewelry, bringing accessories & jewelry to a whole new level - wearing with please and therapy :). Sound great? Even better until you know that you can choose your favorite scent when making order. And if you don't or forget, no worry, I will send you email to remind on your scent choice before shipping out. What do you think? I personally feel happy to finally able to develop this trend (I was thinking of being organic but... hehe... polymer clay itself is not organic already :D).

VISIT US NOW to order or READ MORE on how it works for you.

If you have any question or request, feel free to email me at minh@ophirasjewelry.com. I'd love to receive your comments :).
OK, now I need to go back to my sample preparation. Only 4 days left :). So everyone, have a nice day and a wonderful weekend ahead!

By the way, I have adjusted OSJ website with new page of FAQ. Hope you can find some answers for your concerns there! If not, email me :)

With love,

Ophira's Jewelry

New & New - Lots of News :D

August finally comes! 

It seemed to me July was so short, yet summer was still so long with all the heat. Last 2 months were really exciting to me, by every means, especially my very-nice-&-wonderful trips to US & Singapore. Still feeling like sweet dreams never end... but like a song, "all the good things come to an end", leaving behind memories & love which will never be faded away.

So first thing first - Congratz to my beloved friend for her Vietnamese Coffee Shop - Phin - which is opening very soon early of August (sorry sweetie, the shop does need a page or website so I can refer properly :)). The shop design is amazing, cozy yet beautiful with all decorations brought with her from far far away Vietnam. If you are in Houston area (especially in Clear Lake City area), Texas, don't forget to drop by, have a typical Vietnamese cup of coffee & enjoy a moment of relaxing :).

Now back to Ophira's Jewelry latest news, finally we got the call from the artist market regarding my application on last May. Well - I passed the first round - YAY! \(^_^)/ Next, we are going to have a meeting with board of committees to check on our quality next week. If nothing goes wrong, Ophira's Jewelry will have its first booth displayed by end of August (I truly hope so). Everyone, cross fingers for all the best to us!

Moreover, another wonderful news came up to me also in the same time. My Worm collection was sold out and completely becomes more popular than other products, following closely by Little Penguins - in which I designed new version of female with cute pink ribbon & a wedding couple - bride & groom. The first thought appeared to my mind was "Kawaii!!!" (means cute in Japanese). Totally impressed by this result, I have decided to make more Worm & Penguins, and yes, coming together with another August promotion exclusively, again, for subscribers & members. So WATCH OUT and get your own favorite worm warrior or penguin by VISIT US often or just SIGN UP MAILING LIST with us.

Otherwise, as you guy may know, lately I got a lot of jet lag from traveling and inspiration on wire works, giving me "term & condition" to design new look for the field I nearly forgot. I was so pleased with what I have done so far, feminine yet high class look with a little classic. Have you not yet seen any of my wire masterpieces, pass by here and give me your opinions :).


OK anyway, I would like to gently remind you that our Newsletter is coming soon on 5 Aug (Thursday). Hence, our dear subscribers, check your emails often so you don't miss it as sometimes it will go to Spam folder (I don't know why :( ). And our prospective customers, if you'd like to be part of Ophira's Sales Event or simply like to keep update on our products, SIGN UP NOW & RECEIVE FREE Welcome Gift from us as compliment for supporting us.
Any question or comment, please feel free to email me at minh@ophirasjewelry.com

Have a nice working week & Enjoy shopping with us! \(>o<)/

Best regards,

Ophira's Jewelry (Emy)
