They say diamonds are a girls best friend, but personally I believe all jewellery is a girl’s best buddy. True enough you can never have too much and jewellery/web designer Cathy Gonsalves is one who should never have this worry. With an online boutique Snapadoos, Cathy handcrafts every piece to perfection.
mfl: Who are your favorite jewellery designers and why?
I am inspired and admire jewelry designers who are fearless with color and playful like Tarina Tarantino. I also am inspired by many “up and coming” designers whose work is energetic and personality-packed.
mfl: What’s the longest time it’s taken you to make a piece of jewellery?
Oh gosh…I have worked on designs for days to perfect it. Fine tuning is a delicate thing though, you can overdo it and totally destroy something…normally I keep tweaking a design until I love it!
mfl: Is your work available at any retail outlets?
I wholesale to boutiques and shops all over the country and even to some internationally.
mfl: What do you hope to achieve from this year?
I don’t set big goals, good things are slow to happen and you just have to keep working hard and pushing forward. I am working on ways to increase exposure for both snapadoos.com my jewelry designs and cgonsa.com my web design business. I am still proving myself and doing my time.
mfl: Name your top three favorite songs?
Beautiful …Christina Aguilera, Lucky Star …Maddona, Angie …Rolling Stones
mfl: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
Be persistent -don’t give up.

further, and that is reason why I’m contacting you. I am going to have a
photo session with my photographer on 28 November. After that I would like to
send you some photos for your consideration, and I wanted to ask you what sort
of photos you would like to see. I want to promote my self as a model who
specifically works with jewellery and accessories.
My photographer thought that was going to be a good idea if I bring a few
outfits for the session, and we thought that 3 would work:
- one “evening/formal” outfit with high heels, nice necklace, etc
- one “business/corporate” outfit, perhaps trouser suit or matching skirt
and jacket with stylish but more business-like shoes
- one simple outfit, where we focus on the top, very low cut, showing your
shoulders neck and upper torso
We can focus on the different styles that you think would suit you and show
off a variety of jewellery and accessory styles.
I hope the above makes sense and I look forward hearing from you in the near
future.
Kind Regards
Andreina
