We Want Your Feedback!

 Take The Survey

There have been so many changes to FunkyPinks in the last 12 months, I've completely rebranded, launched countless new products, and had the busiest Christmas ever!

I've been so grateful to all of my customers throughout the year, and I have big plans for 2015. I have a few burning questions to ask, so I have put together a survey for customer feedback to ask about their experience shopping with FunkyPinks and their opinions on the new things I want to try.

 Take The Survey

As a THANK-YOU I'm offering a 20% discount voucher that can be used exclusively in the New Year when I re-open my shop. Responses to the survey will be kept confidentially, and details provided will not be passed to any third party.

My shop is due to re-open after Christmas, so until then Happy Holidays!

We are now Closed for Christmas!

At last I have finished and shipped all of my outstanding orders ready for Christmas! 

I have had a mega busy November and early December with an unprecedented amount orders, it's really been fantastic but exhausting at the same time!



I sold out of Sisters sets mid-November, just after I had re-stocked! The charms are now on order for the new year.



Black Friday was a real shocker, I had triple the number of orders I usually take in a day, I had to close my Etsy shop that night as I was afraid I wouldn't be able to cope with the demand.

I had so many orders, that I ran out of packaging and had to order a load, but I accidentally ordered too many and now I have nowhere to put them!



I'm now taking a break now until after Christmas, all outstanding orders have now been processed and shipped, so if you need to know the estimated date your package will arrive then check the Etsy website for the SHIPPED date and add the following number of business (working) days:

UK: 1-3 business days
Europe: 5-10 business days
USA & Canada: 7-12 business days
AUSTRALIA: 10-14 business days

As always if you have any questions please feel free to Contact Me.

See you all soon!

I'm famous!

I'm super excited this week as my jewellery has been featured in 'Make and Sell Jewellery' magazine!


I'm a regular subscriber to this fab magazine, (a must for any budding jewellery maker!) So when they asked if I would like to be featured in their regular 'Etsy Edit' section I jumped at the chance! <br>

I felt very honoured to have been asked to be featured. I didn't expect a sudden wave of new sales considering my audience would likely be competitors; for me it was more about being recognised by my peers. The handmade jewellery business sector is heavily saturated, and standing out from the crowd can be a difficult thing to do!

It also made me have to get new headshots of myself (something I was dreading!) and so my other half had to take endless photos of me until I was completely happy with them! It was a tiresome job as I'm very rarely happy with photographs of myself as I'm sure most people are!


My birthstone jewellery is available to buy in my Etsy shop: www.funkypinks.etsy.com

Coming soon to my website too!
