Crafting his niche with some beads

DEREK Tan certainly has guts! He has a job most other guys would not do or even talk about. In fact, Tan’s ventured into a field that is much liked by women and is ever so comfortable when he’s deftly crafting with beads.

That’s right! Tan is a jewellery maker and, with nimble fingers, he creates exquisite jewellery from glass beads, seed beads, pearls, semi-precious stones and wire, much to the envy of women.
