Meet the Maker

Meet the Maker! 

Hello, my name is Emma, I'm the creator of Whimsy Wears and I'm based in Scotland. 

I have had quite the obsession with earrings for a long time now. All kinds of shapes, sizes, colours and styles. However, I finally found my preference, and so why not just run with it! The more whimsical and different to those which you find in the shops the better! I have never been one for wearing the same style earrings as everyone else.

Halloween 2024 - After looking everywhere for some spooky earrings for myself and my daughter and then not managing to find exactly what I was looking for, my partner Scott had convinced me to just make my own. So I did. I tried to make myself and my daughter some Halloween themed earrings, small enough that she could still wear them to school but whimsical enough that she'd find them fun and enjoy wearing them. Myself on the other hand, I was embracing the big and bold style of earrings, especially with how lightweight the polymer clay is, it honestly felt like I was wearing nothing at all! The biggest challenge we had was deciding which ones we wanted to wear each day! Spending our mornings before work and school comparing earrings and complementing each others choices. 

February 2025 - Fast forward a few months. Halloween had been and gone, Christmas and New Year had flown by and I was still making novelty earrings for myself and my daughter, I had played around with a few new ideas, some more simple, non-novelty, every-day earrings. I still wanted a statement earring but I wanted options; colourful, big, small, whimsical... the list goes on! I had made a few and gained a lot of compliments on them from friends and other parents on the school runs, although my confidence was still lacking and I didn't think anyone else would actually want to wear them. 

However, after much consideration and a lot of encouragement and persuasion from both my partner Scott and my daughter Holly, I decided to start my very own small business and sell my whimsical makes. And so, Whimsy Wears was created.

My earrings are by no means perfect and nor will they ever be, and that’s absolutely fine, handmade isn’t supposed to be perfect!

I hope you enjoy looking through my earrings and I hope you manage to find something that takes your fancy. 

Thank you, Emma xxx
