What Am I After All
What am I after all but a child, pleas`d with the sound of my own name? repeating it over and over;
I stand apart to hear - it never tires me.
To you your name also;
Did you think there was nothing but two or three
pronunciations in the sound of your name?

Thank you to the London Underground who during the nineties started printing poems and putting them in the train carriages to amuse and educate commuters (of which I was one). This poem has been with me since then.
My name is Chaya ( ch – represents a guttural H ) - my name means living or life.
I have always believed that names are important and thank my parents for having given me such a great name to live up to.
This is my jewelry – made with all of my love for life as inspiration

Bless you Chaya, sweet child of life. You have a wonderful gift in your jewellery.
My name (my real name) means "gold circle or light depicted round the head, e.g. a halo" which is hysterically funny, if you know me.

Ah Chaya, your jewelry is beautiful and filled with life ... exactly like your lovely name!
I had thought Chaya was pronounced with the Ch as in Charles, but now I can actually *hear* it correctly in my head. Lyrical and so appropriate for you!
I love tracing names. Mine is a diminutive of Mary, which is a form of Miriam, a Hebrew name meaning strong-willed and rebellious. Ahem.
There is so much in a name! Thank you for sharing your meaning and such beautiful jewelry!
Amazing collection. i really loved it

Chaya, this is a beautiful post and your jewelry is just as gorgeous.
enjoyed your post and your beautiful jewels! thank you, Chaya, for including something of mine : )
-my name comes from a greek nymph turned into an almond tree to save her from some naughty greek gods who were chasing her
Lovely post and jewelry!!!!, in Hebrew they are saying my name is a gift from god and in French - like the lord, very interesting first time I knew this, for I was named after my father Michael.
I have no idea what my name means, but my shop namesake meant everything to me.
A beautiful and thoughtful post. Thanks for sharing the sweet sentiments.
Beautiful post, Chaya. Thanks for choosing one of my designs for this lovely post.

What a lovely post, Chaya - and gorgeous jewellery too - and how interesting to hear that your name means living or life.
Mine is Scandinavian and means powerful, courageous and forever strong, which I guess just about sums me up!
But ah, those poems on the Tube used to drive me bonkers! Some were brilliant but others were just SO awful!
Nice post Chaya- and I'm glad to know how to properly say your name!
My name is actually Tolkien- Lorian I think that Lori means victorious or crowned with laurals
I'm so happy I met you guys !!
Thank you for a wonderful JOD :-)
Wonderful post , thanks for sharing this beautiful jewelry too!
AWeso0me post and lovely jewelry.

I'm not sure what mine means. Great post and Stunning jewelry!

It's always great to gather some insight into the "real" being behind a name...and it is certainly reflected in your jewelry--each piece is a new life and enters someone's home as an extension of life.
