From Challenge to Creation

My name is Anneclaire, and I lovingly create handmade jewelry under the name Anneclaire’s Creations. Each piece I make is inspired by the endless beauty of nature, and is shaped by my own life story.

Until June 2022, my life looked very different. I had a flourishing career, gave public talks, did volunteer work, and loved going to the gym. Then a single Covid infection led to long-term symptoms, also known as long Covid. My health declined rapidly, and I became mostly housebound. My life as I knew it was over.

I had to completely redesign my life. I found hope, joy, and meaning through creativity. Nature became my biggest source of inspiration: the colors, shapes, and wonders that are gemstones and pearls moved me deeply. What struck me most is how many of the world’s most beautiful natural creations came into being through adversity: meteorites, ice ages, shifting tectonic plates. Just like we are shaped by the challenges life throws at us.

My jewelry tells that story. It’s a tribute to the resilience of nature – and of ourselves.

Discover pieces that bring comfort, radiate strength, and remind us that beauty can still arise, even in difficult times.

Much love,

Anneclaire

A Word of Thanks

I want to say a big thank you to three people who have helped me every step of the way. My wonderful mother, who cares for me every day and who is my most vigorous saleswomen. My super supportive partner, who has stood by me through this entire journey and who helped me build this beautiful website. My loving friend, who has shown me that friendship can survive anything and who has become my business sparring partner.

None of this would be possible without your endless love, care, support, help, and patience. Every day, I feel deeply grateful to have such incredible people by my side.

You truly mean the world to me.
