We've all had those days when mistakes seem to strike out of nowhere. Perhaps youre preoccupied with thoughts about what to prepare for dinner or anxious about an upcoming presentation. Its perfectly normal for your mind to wander, leading to small errors that typically cause no harm. You might accidentally end up with two oversized trash cans or purchase a toy thats comically large for your cat. However, in the business world, even minor slip-ups can quickly escalate into major disasters!
To explore how small mistakes can significantly impact a business, the team at Bored Panda spoke with Mridu Jain, the founder of Chiyo, a brand that specializes in quirky, handcrafted jewelry that catches the eye. With her vast experience in creating playful and artistic pieces, Mridu has witnessed firsthand how easily things can veer off course. She explains, Designing jewelry requires a high level of precision and creativity. However, after a long day, its easy to forget small but crucial steps. These little oversights can either result in hearty laughter or significant headaches.

Once, after spending hours perfecting a necklace design, I forgot to save the final version, Mridu recalls. I inadvertently sent the wrong draft to production, completely unaware! Imagine anticipating a sleek, minimalist piece only to receive something wildly unexpected instead. Thankfully for Mridu, her team conducts trial runs before finalizing products. If not, many customers would have received designs resembling abstract art rather than elegant jewelry. Its funny now, she reflects, but back then, it felt like panic mode! In fact, their studio features a special box filled with these amusing 'fail' designs. Dubbed the Museum of Mistakes, it showcases creations such as an earring that unintentionally resembles a mini carrot and a necklace that looks oddly like spaghetti. These oops moments serve as a reminder that even the most creative minds are not infallible. Sometimes the mistakes are so hilarious that they deserve to be preserved, she laughs. After all, creativity often comes with its messy side.

Custom orders pose their own challenges, Mridu elaborates. Even after everything is confirmed, customers sometimes send incorrect names or spellings, she shares. Autocorrect is usually the culprit, transforming Neha into Nehru or Anaya into Array. For a brand that prides itself on personalization, these small errors can lead to significant dilemmas. In the end, it results in wasted time, materials, and resources, she adds. This realization led Mridu to implement a rigorous triple-checking system at Chiyo.
Mridu also recounted an instance when a mistake turned into an unexpected success story. During production, we had a necklace go entirely awry, but it ended up looking really cool! she remembers. Instead of discarding it, the customer adored it for its uniqueness. Its wonderful when customers appreciate individuality, even if it wasnt what we originally intended, she reflected. Sometimes, whether in art or life, the most remarkable outcomes are born from surprises.

Color mismatches are another common source of blunders, particularly when using WhatsApp. Pictures can be so misleading, says Mridu. Factors like lighting, camera quality, and filters can dramatically alter how colors appear. There have been instances where a client anticipated a deep navy blue but received a lighter royal blue instead. Now, we share videos, multiple photos, and even send small samples via courier if necessary, she explains.

However, mistakes arent limited to the design phase, Mridu points out. Packaging errors can be equally stressful. Imagine sending a fragile handmade piece in the wrong box size; it could ruin the entire experience! she exclaims. Theyve encountered near disasters with packaging supplies running out or fragile pieces lacking proper padding. Consequently, her team now adheres to stringent quality control protocols. No piece of jewelry leaves our studio without a proper checklist, Mridu insists. Attention to detail is paramount, especially in the luxury market.

Nevertheless, Mridu emphasizes the importance of clients understanding the handmade nature of their work. Tiny variations make handcrafted jewelry special, she explains. No two pieces are identical, and this is precisely what makes them beautiful. However, in cases of significant errorssuch as misspelled names or incorrect designsthey take full responsibility. Custom jewelry requires collaboration with the client, she notes. Communication is the secret sauce behind satisfied customers and impressive designs!
