Michelle's gifts to her friends


How I keep my little necklace from entangling


Not a pretty sight, but what you can do is to use a straw.

Slide one end of the necklace into a straw thick enough, and 'close' the necklace. Keep the necklace in an air-tight box or zip-lock bag to prevent oxidisation.

It can be really frustrating when the necklace entangles. But do not tear it apart in frustration! It can be un-tangled with some patience.

Palette of Colours V (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) $ 53 - 2 pairs left ONLY




And I really mean that the stones twinkle and sparkle under light!!!!

Highlight here are the carved Citrine flowers. This colour combo is subtly feminine. Pink Tourmaline rondells and Pink Amethyst with a 925 silver cross in the middle. Earwires are 925 silver lever-back.

Palette of Colours IV ('Anna Sui' Colours) $ 45 or $50




These are so gorgeous!!!!

Close-to-perfect Amethyst (look at the clarity and colour!) with sparkling Black Spinel and Ruby rondells. Lovely in gold-filled setting.
$45 is for goldfilled hook-type earwires. while $50 is for closed-loop kind as illustrated above.

Denim and Flowers (All three for $78, pls see below for respective prices)

I love the suggestion from customers and friends that these Impression Agate could go well with denim! As for myself, I like the earthy tone of the blues and it sort of complement the beauty of the flowers.


Denim and Yellow Flowers - $ 29 (2 pieces ONLY)

Materials: Serpentine carved flowers, Canadian Jade, Citrine leaves, freshwater pearls, Amazonite and Blue Impression Agate.

Denim and White Flowers - $28 (2 pieces ONLY)


Materials: Mother-of-Pearl carved flowers, coral, freshwater pearls, Blue Impression Agate.

Denim and Blue Flowers (formerly named Impressionist, price reduced $ 28) 2 pieces ONLY

Botanical Gardens $ 38 (check out the carved elements!) - ONE pair only





Carved Carnelian Tulips, carved Green-moss Agate leaf, carved Citrine flower...woo so yummy! These form a little garden for a little gold-plated bird. Earwires and chains are goldfilled.

All Natural $ 28 - ONE pair only SOLD





I LOVE these leaves, each of them are so unique and looks SO MUCH LIKE A REAL LEAF! They are carved out from Agate :))))

I have paired them with a tiny piece of jade, and added a floral touch with vermeil little flowers. Earwires are 925 silver.

Pink Amethyst Onions $ 23 - 3 pairs ONLY SOLD ALL




These onions are of good quality and cost a little more for their carat size. Anyway, destashing them and hopefully they go to good owners :)

These dangle on silver-plated textured rings with a little white freshwater pearl and a dainty vermeil flower. Earwires are silver-plated.

Frosted Bi-colour Lemon Quartz (Pls state accompanying stone) $ 20 per pair, ONE pair each

These are very very sparkly and very affordable as gifts. I love these bi-colour Lemon Quartz but I am de-stashing them by pricing them lowly. Each pair of these earrings comes with varying shades of darkness, ranging from charcoal colour to lemony shades. Earwires are goldfilled.

Refreshing green of the Peridot...

My personal favourite - very versatile...

Elegant blue Apatite... Pearls never go wrong.... Feminine fuchsia pink from Ruby...

Petite Lilac Amethyst $ 18 - 2 pairs ONLY



Another little pair of earrings with clear stones, this time with 2 sterling silver little flowers. Earwires are in 925 silver.

Daily Garnet $ 18 - 2 pairs only




Little red Garnet tied to a light-gold hoop. Great for daily wear. Earwires are goldfilled.
