About Me

Welcome to Himawari! My name is Nastya, and I am the self-taught jewelry maker behind this small, handmade jewelry business based in Czechia. My journey into jewelry making began in 2023 when I discovered the vast variety of beautiful Czech glass beads, which have become the cornerstone of my creations.

Our Mission

At Himawari, we are passionate about sharing the beauty of Czech glass with you. We are committed to providing unique designs that are made slowly and ethically to ensure high quality and sustainability. We believe in creating jewelry that is not only beautiful but also respects our planet and its resources.

Sustainability and Ethics

All of our items are made to order to avoid overproduction and waste. 

Currently, around 95% of our materials are sourced from either Czechia or other EU countries, supporting local businesses and reducing our environmental impact.

We use only vegan materials, which means our jewelry does not include real pearls, bee wax, animal parts, etc. Instead, we use Czech glass imitation pearls that maintain the look and feel of the real thing while aligning with our ethical values. 

Our shipping materials are separable and recyclable. We also reuse bubble wrap to ensure your jewelry is protected during shipping. 

Thank you so much for visiting my shop! I hope you find something special that you'll love as much as I loved making it ♡
