Wedding Bells


Do you hear what I hear? :) It's that time of the year again!

Silver Gloria $ 55





For the newer visitors, you can check out my previous versions of Gloria by using the 'Search' field at the top lefthand corner of the page.


This was requested by Elaine who wore the first version of Gloria with her wedding gown (go check out that photo too!!!). Errrr of course this is not for herself again, but for her future sis-in-law.

I always thought that only gold wires can accentuate the beauty of pearls. But to my surprise silver wires helped to make the white pearls even whiter.

White freshwater pearls of various sizes with Swarovski crystals.

Gloria Mismatched earrings (Silver/white) $ 35


Something grand for the BIG day.

Set in rhodium-plated chain to prevent tarnishing.

Jady $ 40 (Exclusively One pair only) - SOLD


I love these silver chains but I nearly went blind trying to tie the wire through them.

For the jade-and-pearl lover :)

My little girl :)


She looks cute even when she cries!

Clara - from $ 40 (subsequent stones may be bigger)


A feminine creation that will fit anything wearing a skirt/dress :)
The popular Pink Amethyst with excellent clarity and pastel colour that is more light purple in colour rather than pink, as its name implies. Adorning the stone is a cluster of Ruby, Garnet, Rose Quartz and white pearl. Set on rhodium plated chain to avoid tarnishing, while hooks are in 925 silver.

Coral Party $ 38


All the interesting things of the sea coming together - a tiny piece of the coral reef (natural colour which is white/peach) and a blister pearl (looks like what the name implies!).


To make the earrings richer in colour, I have added a Pink Tourmaline drop, a white pearl and a genuine blue Turqoise. Another great conversation piece that will not go un-noticed.



These coral sticks are the newest addition to my stock. I am really mad about them as each of them is so unique in shape and colour and is nature in its rawest form.

After-Rain $ 55


Tender-green shoots that spurt out after a rain.
A refreshing mix of Citrine and Peridot set in 925 silver.

All About Pearls $ 30


For the purists who want just clean, white, nice pearls :-)

Chain, bead caps and hooks in 925 silver.

Finally ironed my old handkerchief!!!

And that makes quite a lot of difference.

Tonia's Matcha


Beautiful mix of two shades of green.

(Subsequent pairs available with carved pale-green jade flower instead of white.)

Tower $ 30 (Exclusively one pair)


As mentioned before last time, my liking for Smoky Quartz was not immediate, but rather developed over a long period of time, after seeing so many other stones of 'more likeable' colours. It signifies a maturity in taste, I hope :)

Smoky Quartz is mysteriously attractive. Usually it is very clear without much inclusions. I wouldn't say that it has a dark grey colour, but rather it is brownish grey, like Tobacco.


Freshwater pearl with a irregular shaped Smoky Quartz, with lots of goldfilled chains that become antique in colour over time. A lot of efforts in this pair!!!

Smoky Dew $ 22


Smoky Quartz set simply and elegantly with goldfilled parts. Contrast between dark grey and gold is so amazingly classy!

Again a stunning gift for a special someone this Christmas.

Honey Dew $ 22


An ideal Christmas present (looks more than it's worth!) for loved ones.

Good quality Honey Citrine set simply and elegantly with goldfilled parts and 925 silver hooks.
Chains on earrings are optional - shorter earrings for daily wear, while long ones for special occasions.
