2026 so far? Honestly it's been a juggling act.
New job. Growing competition. Quiet bookings. Inconsistent content. Slow events.
But also handmade sales are picking back up. Etsy orders after YEARS of silence. A community of people who keep showing up for me even when I'm not showing up enough for them.
So yeah. 4/10. And I'm okay saying that out loud.
Swipe to see me rate every juggling ball, the good, the not so good, and the ones I've definitely dropped.

Someone once told me my tassel earrings look like curtain ties. đ
They're not wrong. They are made from yarn.
But got 2 pairs four years ago. She still wears them. Still. Four years.
Make that make sense.
Would you wear statement earrings like these? đ

Six years ago, I started making jewellery in my flat with absolutely no plan. This is what happened next. đ

Letâs be real for a second, boho babes. As an independent fashion designer making handmade bespoke jewellery, I have a massive confession to make.
Iâm officially using AI models to showcase my latest creations.
Here is exactly why. Because every single piece I create under Created By Lau is one-of-a-kind jewellery or made in an ultra-exclusive small batch, shooting content is a beautiful nightmare. I canât exactly hire a professional model and book a studio every time I finish a single statement necklace or a pair of bold wearable art earrings.
You want to see how these high-end, unique-style accessories actually look when worn, how they drape, how big they are, and how they elevate an outfit. And I want to show you!
So, I put it to a vote on my stories, and the sisterhood has officially spoken (swipe to see the poll results!). Youâre totally on board with me using AI to bring these mixed-media jewellery pieces to life.
Don't worry, the jewellery itself is 100% real, handmade by me in my Yorkshire studio using premium polymer clay, resin, and textiles. The only thing simulated is the gorgeous model wearing them. Itâs slow fashion meeting smart tech, so I can keep bringing you the bold fashion inspiration you love, without the high-street corporate waste.
Swipe through the carousel to see the results of our first tech-styled shoot!

Yesterday was that kind of day.
Vintage Day with the wonderful vintage cars, a live singer, Commercial Street buzzing, and we were right in the middle of it all welding on permanent bracelets and anklets like it was the most natural thing in the world.
There's something really special about welding bonds at an event like this. Jewellery that lasts, at a day that feels timeless.
We're back with in August â save this post so you don't miss it!
The customer comments that haunt me at 3am...
Look, I love what I do. I really do. But some days these comments live rent-free in my head and I just need to share the pain with someone who gets it!
To my fellow small business owners: you're not alone. We've all heard "I could make that!" (spoiler: they won't)
To my lovely customers who would NEVER: I appreciate you more than you know đ
Which one hurts the most? I'm going with #1 because apparently my time, skill and materials are worth less than a coffee!

Itâs taken a lot for me to open this box.
For months, these pieces sat there, unfinished and ignored, because my heart just wasn't in it. Losing my Dad took the wind out of my sails, and the studio felt like a lonely place to be.
But I've decided itâs time for a Resurrection.
Iâm finishing these pieces to fund a new mission: my Silver Memorial Range. I need to raise ÂŁ250 for the silver and the professional firing tools to make it happen.
I don't want a handout; I want to work for it. When you shop the Resurrection Collection, youâre not just buying a pair of earringsâyouâre helping me create a tribute that means the world to me.
Part 1 is live on the site now. We're at ÂŁ15/ÂŁ250. Let's see how far we can get today.
