Simply Garnet (14 K Gold-filled Necklace) $35

The pictures don't quite reflect the right colour since I am using my table-lamp to provide lighting. Garnet beads in 'diamond' shape attached to good-quality 14 K gold-filled chain, with tarnish-resistant brass wires. The dangling centre piece comprises of two expensive well-cut garnet pieces. A delicate piece. All garnet stones are maroon in colour.

Length is slightly longer than choker length. Adjustment of length is not a problem to me :)

Christmas Collection - Rings ($ 20) and Collar Pins ($ 15)

Be the first to announce the arrival of Christmas! These definitely make interesting Christmas gifts for your loved ones. The size of both the ring and collar pin (brooch?) are just right, not too overwhelming. And the colour is simply striking!

I have used faceted natural coral as the red 'berries', green adventurine as leaves and a big golden pearl to add on to the richness of this collection. While stocks last.

Pinky Rock Sugar (14K Gold-filled Necklace) $ 42

Ok this is the one to get if a woman feels like pampering herself a little...a super-sweet necklace which goes for any occasion, because it is also at the same time very hip, very 'womanly'. I don't recommend choker-style. It should dangle a little. Wear it outside a collar-shirt, or with a turtle-neck, or V-neck. Ha it goes very well with what I bought for myself today at Country Road Sale - a pink leather handbag! :)

The rock sugar-like stones are rose quartz, with peridot, pearls and garnet in between. You can rest assured that there is bound to be someone who notices this necklace! One of my proudest works.

Again, I have used good-quality 14K gold-filled chain to minimise fading of colours and tarnishing.

Compatible earrings at $15 per pair.

Gloria's Wedding Pics!

You must be confused....this time it is about someone who's both a friend and a satisfied customer, not the choker itself. I borrowed her name for my 'Gloria' choker as I thought the name suits it - a piece of jewelry to be worn on a glorious day! Thanks Gloria! You both look great really. Somehow can't enlarge the pic leh...

My Little Namecard

My namecard is ready! Simple and nice, clean and white, and it is square in shape. Designed by my Laogong. Will be attached to any product ordered from now on, and the back of each card states clearly whether the setting is 925 Silver, silver-plated or etc etc.

Baby Flower Collar Pin / Brooch $22 (Price revised on 23/11/07)

This is another delicate piece of work in the Baby-flower series. Comes in either pearl or coral for the flowers. Good to pin onto white blouses, esp. those with little collars....again, I am thinking Jap style again!

Size is around 2.5 ~ 3 cm, tiny one.

- Ceased - Mid-Summer's Night Garden Bracelet (Choker possible) $ 38

This is a bracelet in the same range as Baby Flower Ring or Bouquet pendant. These pictures seem to paint the picture of summer flowers in the backyard flourishing under the moonlight, with dews collecting on the leaves!

Stones used are garnet, peridot, moonstone, pearls and some cherry quartz.

Choker of similar design is not a problem to me! :)

Late Night Jazz

WOw look at the time....one of those days when I work through the night. This time I am working on Cindy's jewelry. She is planning to give her bridesmaids earrings, how sweet of her! I wish I can take pictures of all her 12 pairs of earrings which are almost unique.

My Laogong was designing a namecard for me today. I told him that it better have little flowers on it :) Hopefully you will get to see it soon. Thinking of printing little stickers for FloralBox too.

I really thank God for such a wonderful experience of doing something that I truly enjoy. Every piece of jewelry was made with joy! Hmmm I better go bathe and sleep liao. Keep coming back as I have many photos taken yesterday.

Spring Basket (Revisted) $ 38

This is the top selling bracelet amongst my friends. Like I mentioned, from the seller's point of view, this is the BEST BUY because not only the design is very classic, the stones are generally better cut and the setting is in 14 K gold-filled chains and wires. It has a higher gold content and will not tarnish so easily as silver.

I have made a few pieces with the stones further spaced, so that they will not all dangle below the wrist due to weight.

Anklet possible.

-ceased- Gloria (revisited) $ 45

This should be a better pic for Gloria (refer previous). I am on leave today morning and so I am taking pictures of certain items again. Still, the real thing looks better, trust me! The Swarovski crystals don't shine in the photo.
So, brides-to-be, make me proud by wearing Gloria on your wedding day!!! :)

Blue Moon $ 28

I can't think of a name for this yet. Help me! Running out of creativity for apt names.

Both sides are of different colour. The orangy-pink (or pinky-orange) one consists of a white quartz and coral beads, while the blue one is amazonite. Set in 925 silver.

To the more conservative folks - YES, I can make the same colour for both sides :)

Better View of Bohemian Rhapsody No. 1 and 3

Hope these pics are slightly better!

Bohemian Rhapsody No. 1, 2, 3 $ 15 each (all 3 for $ 40)

Hmmm.....need I say more? :)

Coral (orangy-pink), pearls, peridot (green), carnelian (orange), natuarl crystal, white quartz and aventurine (dark green).


Photos taken by myself, quite lousy, sorry!

Red Mansion (earrings) $28

To be frank I never dared to try large earrings - til recently. Ladies with small faces look good with almost anything, small or large earrings. But for people like me with a large face, this is definitely something you have to wear! I never believed it til I tried it, how incredible.

The frame is 925 silver, red beads are red coral (natural, un-dyed), and blue beads are amazonite. There is also a white, round pearl at the lowest point. In the middle, I have attached a white quartz bead. How I love the red here!!

This pair or earrings come in one piece only, for other colour combination, please contact me directly.

Felicia's Earrings

I am glad that Felicia asked me to customise something purple for her dear friend...I really enjoy the process of mixing and matching different stones and crystals, and trying to picture how the person will look like when wearing the earrings.

Purple = amethyst
Transparent = Natural Crystal
Purple pearls set in 925 Silver hooks.

Berry Nice! Ring $ 25 Nett

You will have to click on the pictures to see clearly.

This ring was made at the request of a Berry Nice! bracelet buyer. The theme again is berries! Like I said, the berries will distract you from work! Recently I managed to buy small, red coral beads and I might just use them to replace the bright pink ones you see here, because those are running out.

As for the size of the rings, it will be helpful if you can measure with a piece of string the circumference of your finger, but leave an allowance as the joint of your finger is usually harder and thicker.

10% Discount from 19th Oct - 26 Oct

To express my appreciation for all your notes of encouragement, orders and frequent visits to this blog, all orders above $15 will be entitled to a 10% discount from 19 Oct to 26 Oct!!!

I will try to entertain all requests within this period of time, but in case materials run out, do pardon me if I am not be able to accept your orders. :(

-ceased- Bubbles on my Neck!

Hoho.....the focus should not be my neck, but the Bubbles feature earlier. As you can see, the colour of the necklace is pastel and yet shiny due to the lustre of the pearls. You can see even the purple amethyst clearly.

- Ceased - Bouquet Pendant $ 35

When you feel like wearing a skirt, put on this little bouquet too! Little pearl summer flowers among some berries and other plants and leaves - something pink, something sweet.

Every pendant will not be exactly the same. I might vary the colours. You won't get this anywhere else, I take great effort to position every bead nicely! :) Perfect gift for Christmas.

The pendant is about 2.5 cm in diameter. Chain not included.

Christmas Orders...

Hey folks online, hope that you are happy with the new pics. I will post more during weekdays, and hopefully I can make new ones fast enough. Thanks to those who placed their trust in me......THANKS!

In case you do not know yet, purchases over $100 will entitle you to a FREE pair of earrings - customised to your liking. :)

Elizabeth $ 17

I named this pair of earrings after the lady who came up with this design. She knows exactly what she wants that suit her personality -uncomplicated, confident and yet feminine. Only for the sophisticated.

Enhanced cherry quartz set with oval pink pearls - a classic look indeed.

- Ceased - Bubbles (Necklace) $ 43

This is another piece of jewellery with pearls being the main theme. I love pearls. During my wedding 2 years ago, I also wore pearls as I marched down the aisle. The thing about wedding jewellery is that once your BIG day is over, you are unlikely to use it again. But not for this one.

This piece is an exquisite one, it can be worn during a wedding or even with any pastel-coloured blouse, and this way you don't waste $$, as after wedding, you can always use it again. The pearls used here are of good quality. The centrepiece pendant is free to move and dangle. If you look carefully, there are 4 pieces of amethyst dangling among the pearls! AGAIN - remember that the photo just doesn't show the pink shade of the necklace well enough.

-ceased- Gloria (choker) $ 45

This photo is badly taken - again because of the dark weather. It is supposed to showcase a generous amount of off-pink/white pearls, large and small, woven together with colourless, shiny Swarovski crystals by tarnish-resistant gold wires. There are also three pieces of Botzwana agate as centre pieces for the three clusters.

On the whole, it has a very subtle yet glittening pink that fails to show here, just right for any white wedding dress or non-wedding functions (D&D)!

Wedding Jewellery Collection

As my friend is getting married soon, I will take the opportunity to showcase some wedding jewellery for the bride/bridesmaids/mothers of brides etc.

Most of these are one-off pieces, you have to be quick if you intend to buy them for your wedding. Any repeated pieces may be different from what is posted here because when materials run out it is hard to get the same thing again! My apologies....

Blissful Memories (Revisited) Bracelets $32 Each

Colourful variations. Previously I posted only the off-white one. My photography was not as professional today as the earlier pictures, because it was raining heavily today, not much sunlight. So these pictures were taken on my study-table under the table lamp!

1st row from L to R: lime green, yellow, minty green
2nd row from L to R: tender green (my personal favourite) and off-white.

My friend ordered these for her bridesmaids/helpers. I am sure they will be thrilled when they receive their wedding favours!

Strawberry Fields - Limited Edition

This is a special gift to a special friend. We have been close friends for over 10 years. She is getting married 2 weeks later and I am really very happy for her. A wonderful girl like her certainly deserves a good marriage.

The beads i have used are cherry quartz (pink), rose quartz (light pink), amazonite (blue), peridot (green), yellow (citrine), light blue (aquamarine) and white/peach freshwater pearls set onto 925 silver chain.

A delicate piece of jewellery to a delicate girl.

Berry Nice! (Bracelet) $ 38

Aren't these little berries cute?! I made these bunches of little berries with 2 different shades of coral, as well as little garnet beads. The garnet is actually purple in colour but it looks a bit too dark on the photo. It is indeed a lively combination!

All these grapes and leaves are set on gold-plated metal. I will add an extension for length to be adjustable.

I brought this bracelet out once to show a retailer what I was looking for in her shop once, and the retailer offered to buy it from me! Haha!

Blissful Memories (Bracelet) $ 32

I made this for my good friend's wedding....she wanted something nice for her bridesmaids, thought that was really generous of her.

I set aventurine, rose quartz, citrine, peridot and pearls with tarnish-resistant wires on suede strings. The whole bracelet feels like a soft bangle that fits snugly on the wrist. The other parts are silver-plated.

Exciting part is that I made the same thing on 5 different colours of suede for the 5 different bridesmaids. I will only put up the photo on Sunday. I was so glad that my friend was very thrilled by the bracelets!

Spring Basket (Bracelet) $ 38

This is the MOST popular item and I have already received 4 orders of Spring Basket in a short period of time! The colours are very springy - cherry pink from tear-drop cherry quartz, transparent light yellow from smooth tear-drop citrine, subtle pink from rose quartz, very pale blue from blue quartz, tender green from peridot, and the pearls give the bracelet some life.

The price reflects the quality of the materials I used. The stones are generally well cut, and set in 14K gold-filled chain and 'clip'. If you search the internet, you will know that gold-filled jewellery has a higher gold content and does not tarnish easily, unlike 925 silver.

I have tried spacing the stones apart, and that works very well.

Sweet Tooth (Bracelet) $30

This is a design which is popular among both younger and more matured women, maybe because it is sweet but slightly bolder than the previous designs? The oval-shaped colour-enhanced cherry quartz looks like Strepsils! I have used good-quality peach freshwater pearls, peridot and green fluorite (transparent-looking stones), set in rhodium-plated chains and parts.

The photography did not do the bracelet any justice...this time I did the photography myself, turned out rather bad. I promise I will get my husband to re-photograph the bracelet!

Baby (Pair) Flower Rings $33 each

Sorry I realised that the colour and shine of the baby flower rings don't show very well, I can assure you that they are many times prettier than what you see here.

Again pearl flowers, but sometimes I do pair off one pearl flower with a crystal-clear aqua-marine (light blue) flower. So you end up having a tiny bouquet of flowers on your finger :)

Baby-Flower Rings $ 28 each

Hmm you have no idea how SWEET these rings are!! I love to make flowers with white little pearls. You will have to tell me your ring size (or use a thread to measure) and I will try to make it that size.

These rings have one single pearl flower each, but the setting can be in either pink, purple or blue (I will try to entertain special requests :) ) Click on the pic to see more clearly.

Hohoho.....these rings might just distract you from work - you can't help it but keep looking at it!

Dandelion $ 48

The centre-piece is a bunch of pale, shiny, tear-drop rose-quartz tied together. Looks like the plant Dandelion, which gets carried about by wind. It is quite versatile, can be worn with evening gowns, short dresses or just a spaghetti top. I will say that this choker has a very expensive designer look.

Hi people more pics are on the way....I have a lot of pieces but little time to take pics of them! Maybe tonite you will get a few more....:)

Semiprecious Stones and Detox Meals.....

Yes a new week has begun and I am about to embark on following the detox program - eating steamed or raw things like sweet potatoes and pumpkins. I really hope to shed off some fats before I go on holiday in December.

Many people have asked what are the materials I use for the jewellery....or why they are jewellery rather than accessories. Well the materials are stones, quartzes and semiprecious stones! You see, these things are so colourful and interesting and they are all natural.

I guess Marcus = Xiubing?? And Lili? :)

-Ceased - Fireworks (Bracelet) $ 25

This is a very unique bracelet that your friends definitely won't miss...quite stylo-milo and sweet at the same time. Peach and white pearls with garnet and my favourite peridot!

Close-up View of Maple-leaf Chokers

I thought the pic of the maple-leaf choker was quite well taken, thanks to my hubby....so let me show off another pic :)
