New Necklace - Pearl Heart Necklace

It's been a while since I added to this category, mainly because I've wanted to offer customisation.

This pearl heart necklace is simple and yet cute and elegant. Made from almost 40 genuine Swarovski crystalised pearls in rosaline, together with silver seed beads, the heart motif pendant is 3D which makes it more dynamic and even cuter!

The chain is strung with seed beads, and all the hardware is 925 sterling silver.

You can purchase this lovely necklace from:

New Charms - Elegance & Sweets

2 more additions to the charms category:

* Pear parfait charm: vibrant and bright fire opal AB, together with peridot, chalk white bicones, as well as very cute seed beads make up the dessert, and cup. The base of the cup uses an acrylic trumpet flower bead to give stability. It is decorated with a "pear" by using a brandy teardrop bead and a very fancy bead cap.

As depicted in the photo, it looks GREAT against a black background!!

* Gather dot bag charm: only fuchsia Swarovski bicones were used, together with other components such as czech glass beads (used as the "clasps") and acrylic beads that fill the interior. This charm has a long "shoulder strap" made with 925 sterling silver so it is ready to be used as a bag charm. It has a spring clasp so it can be attached and detached with ease without putting a scratch on your favourite bag!

New Charm - Milky White Flower Parfait

This milky white flower parfait charm is still working progress.

I used Lt Azore throughout to create the fancy dessert cup, and silver seed beads to create the fine details on the rim of the cup. If you look at it from the top, the cup itself looks like a flower!

It is still working progress and not listed for sale because I don't have the right part to put inside the cup. Right now, I'm using a polymer clay rose bead but it is not the right size.

I'm also still debating whether to include the leaf poking out near the bottom of the cup. Well, it is a flower parfait.....

If you are interested in this charm, please feel free to contact me! :)

New Charm - Princess Bag

I LOVE this princess bag charm!!!

Made out of white opal bicones, and seed beads, and cats eye beads, it is simple and yet elegant. 2 different sizes of bicones were used to create the rounder bottom, and acrylic beads fill the interior so the bag stays puffy and stands up on its own.

The "clasps" are represented by the cats eye beads, and the "metal rim" is strung with seed beads. The 925 sterling silver handle gives a different style to the other bag charms in the same category.

Of course there's a cute heart-shaped charm attached to the side. It doesn't get any more feminine than this!

New Charm Necklace - Rose Ice-cream

This Rose Ice-cream charm necklace is REALLY fancy and gorgeous!!! Even more so than the other ones I've made, I got to admit.

I think it's mostly due to the 2 polymer clay rose beads that I used that added elegance to the piece.

The charm consists of peridot, lt rose, rose satin bincones, a fuchsia cube, and genuine Swarovski crystalised pearls,
seed beads, polymer clay beads, czech fire polished, czech druk beads, twisted bugle bead, 925 sterling silver and silver-plated findings.

The necklace is handcrafted with 58 Swarovski crystalised pearls in rosaline, and the findings include 925 sterling silver and silver plated material.

The necklace is optional, which I'm offering at USD$15.00. It is 24" long with a 2" chain extender. The length of the necklace can be customised at USD$2.00/inch increments.

But the combo of the 2 together is breath-taking! Did I mention that it's really gorgeous??? ;-)

Well, it is!!

New Charm - Matcha Parfait


If you like green tea, here's another 0-calorie (metaphorically speaking, of course) matcha parfait you can enjoy all year around!

This charm uses a lot of different crystals and beads: Swarovski turmaline green, olivine, purple velvet, white alabaster bicones, olivine rounds, acrylic beads, czech druk beads, teardrop bead, seed beads, bugle bead, and a very fancy vermeil gold bead cap.

Unlike the Strawberry, and Ice Frappes, I didn't attach a spoon but instead just a straw. The top are decorated with various colours of beads. Mmmmm....yum!!!

New Earrings - Dangle

Also...new dangle earrings! I just had a sudden surge of colour combo inspiration and I made all of them in one go.

They all have a focus piece, a pendant, in very striking colours to attract attention, as well as other more subtle crystals to compliment those colours.

I wanted to cover more colours on the spectrum because we all have our favourite! If you like purple or yellow, then you're in luck!

The terrenum teardrop pendant is very special (as mentioned in a previous posting) - it has a cascading effect from topaz to lt topaz.

Matching necklaces can be made for these earrings. If you're interested, simply let me know! :)

You can purchase these earrings on my etsy shop:

New Earrings - Almond Dangle

This pair of dangle earrings consists of 2 terrenum almond pendants, with a topaz to lt topaz cascading effect, which makes it look very mystical, as well as a total of 6 lt topaz and crystal bicones.

Matching necklace can be made to complete the look!

Custom Order - Cake Slice

My first custom made order from Linda (nice lady, btw)!

This is a custom made version of the cake slice:

Crystal AB was used for the sponge layers, lt rose, lt sapphire, peridot, jonquil, and tanzanite for the fruits, and of course to top it all off, a petite strawberry made with rose and chrysolite bicones.

The original version has a hollow bottom, but this customised version is filled on the bottom so you can enjoy it from every angle with a slight additional cost but it's worth it!

New Series: Designer Series - Boston Bag

This is the first in the new Designer Series - Boston Bag, inspired by a very famous Italian designer brand. :)

It has OVER 165 Swarovski crystals together with seed beads and other small charms and findings to create such a delicate charm. I would LOVE to hang this with my designer bag to attract extra attention!

Check it out! You can purchase this charm at:

New Earrings + Necklace Set

My first necklace with matching earrings creation!

I used genuine Swarovski crystalised pearls (NOT czech glass pearls) in rosaline and powder rose as well as crystal AB bicones beaded onto 2 headpins of different lengths. This colour combo is so gentle, it will look great for all occasions.

The chain is an Italian sterling silver chain, 18.5" long with a 2" extender.

Similar for the earrings, the design is slightly different. The drop is approx 2".

New Charm - Bumble Bee

Another addition to the Nature Series!

This cute little bumble bee is SUPER tiny it's not that much bigger than a real one except this one won't sting you!

It is made by using 2 different shades of yellow for the head and body, sun as those puffy cheeks, and of course jet for the stripes, crystal for the wings, and seed beads as antennae and mouth.

With the lesser amount of crystals, this is listed as cheaper than my other products. But none-the-less it still shines and sparkles!!!!!

The "matcha sponge" layers were made with various shades of green, sandwiching 2 layers of smooth "buttercream" made with sand opal and white alabaster. The top of the cake is decorated with "assorted fruits" arranged with rounds of different material including Swarovski and acrylic beads.

Instead of a split ring, I used a head pin this time to assemble the parts.
