Striking Moon was founded in 2016 by me, Soemeh. I’m 30 years and in my free time you can find me cuddling my cats and taking care of my large plant collection, or roller skating in parks.

Besides running Striking Moon, I graduated as a goldsmith in 2018. I love decorating my body with items that enhance the view on myself and my self love. I guess that’s why I dove into this wonderfull craftsmanship with raw material and traditional tools and machines, to make beautiful things with my hands that others can enjoy and decorate themselves with.

You can see my goldsmith journey and jewelry pieces here.

I love to decorate and create a vibe in my home, surround myself with pretty things, and the best maker I know is nature herself. I wanted to create things I love to see, so I started making these terrariums and other pieces.

I’m my own idea writer, maker, photographer, social media manager, PR person, everything like with most small business owners is done by the owner. It’s only been a few years but I met some pretty inspiring people along the way. 

All my pieces are displayed and purchasable at Swans and Crosses, our creative collective shared by several craftsmen and artist.

When you buy something from Striking Moon you’ll have a unique item, with a lot of history in it, thoughtfully put together by someone who put a lot of time in every detail of it. It always makes my day, even my week, when I get an order. Knowing that items I created are still decorating people’s homes is heartwarming to me and gives me more confidence to keep creating pieces!
