Carved Leaves - Green Tea Leaves $ 33 (Exclusively 2 pairs ONLY) SOLD ALL





Aventurine leaves which are smooth and curvy! Didn't think moonstones would go with this colour, but to my surprise, the combination looks fabulous!

The other pair will have peach moonstones being slightly more orangy (while this pair is more nude in colour).

My latest Bridal Project



It was a challenging but quite fun one; all I had was a photograph of the necklace LC hoped that I could imitate. I couldn't wait to start on it upon getting the materials. Worked through the night til 5am :) Proud to be able to finish it before my little girl woke up!
The sparkle of the crystals caught my little girl's attention and she couldn;t help but to feel it with her tiny finger.
Hope LC can send me a picture of her actual day photo. Will post up the matching earrings once completed.

Sakura II $ 40 (Choker cum Brooch, 2 pieces ONLY, pls read details)



This piece you see here has been sold, but I have materials for another 2 pieces with slight variations. Instead of pairing carved Peach Aventurine and Green Aventurine flowers, I am going to make the next few pieces in Peach Aventurine and Amazonite flowers, with the same brown Keishi pearls and prob the same freshwater pearls (see how). I haven't got the suede leather straps yet but I will match the colours accordingly.
Interested parties will have to make payment first.

Maize $ 35 (Exclusively ONE Pair only)





This is a pair of elegant, clean-cut earrings suitable for daily wear. The same Prehnite drops in Linen Green. The golden maize beads are Vermeil beads (gold on silver), while the earwires are goldfilled.

Garden of Colours II $ 45 Uniquely ONE piece SOLD





Another goldfilled chain with freshwater pearls.

This has more clusters and this time, the mix is of earthy colours such as green, gold and peacock blues.

This chain can be adjusted to be longer (or shorter around the neck) as it has more clusters of pearls, so you can wear it over a white shirt with collar, or a plain white tee.

Garden of Colours $ 42 Uniquely ONE piece SOLD





I love the springy combination of these colours!

Freshwater pearls of various happy colours make up this goldfilled necklace. It is extremely easy to wear and brightens up earth-tone tees, shirts and blouses.
Length of chain is adjustable.

Wild Lavender $ 39




I have been going out quite a bit for the past few days, catching up with friends whom I have not met for sometime. So I wasn't able to catch the sunlight during the weekend. Today, after a day's gathering with friends in church, I took a nap and woke up to find that it was past 5pm! I quickly scrambled for my camera and took these pictures with whatever was left of the natural lighting.
I am quite pleased with the dainty look of this pair. (Note that my camera always distort purple and pink colours.) Peridot, dark Amethyst and Rose Quartz with 925 silver chain and earwires.

Tender Shoots $ 40




Clear, natural crystal quartz with white freshwater pearls and Peridot (onion and rondells). A slightly-chunky pair suitable for daily wear. Earwires are goldfilled.
First picture shows the colours more accurately while the last picture was taken against the light.
