The ocean represented here by huge faceted mystic blue ovals, above the ocean are silvery pearls, deep blue iolite, glistening tanzanite and above it all the brightest star you'll ever see a teardrop shaped quartz. This drops @ 5cm, Ovals measure approx 20mm.

ELIZA BL527-11 CUSTOM ORDER


This is one of the custom order necklaces I'm currently working on.....I am going to just sit and chill because the weather is probably hitting 38 degrees C in sunny Singapore!!!!! Beautiful 'photography' weather but its like the desert outside.....blazing sun, a wind is blowing but its not doing much to cool the place down. These photos have been taken indoors with just the first one taken with my left arm extended out the door. Deep ruby red vermeil encased quartz and cool moonstones form this simple and elegant necklace. All other metal components are 14k gold filled.

I can think of many adjectives to describe this breathtakingly beautiful bright red topaz pendant but a picture speaks volumes so I'll just leave it to the eye of the beholder. 22mm x 18mm and weighing approximately 26 carats.

Dangling safely in an almond shape gold filled hoop which I've embellished with pristine, eye clean white topaz rondells. The necklace is made up of faceted pink topaz ovals and rondells.

LAVERNE BL520-11 S$145 SOLD






Another beautiful Saturday slipping through our fingers. Cool, slightly hazy and just quietly beautiful. Like this emerald cut 24ct bi-coloured pendant.

Measuring 22.9mm x 14.8mm, this beauty is crowned by faceted hessonite garnet straight drilled brios, and faceted prehnite and petro tourmaline rondells.

CRIMSON & CLOVER BL518-11 S$78 SOLD




I love spinel....Especially black spinel. Black onyx cannot be compared to this gorgeous stone in terms of lustre, hardness and sheen. These are ample size microfaceted brios, 15mm x 10mm.....and I've fastened them to gorgeous teardrop shaped quartz encrusted earposts and from the handcrafted goldfilled loop, a mixed symphony of rounded rondells drape around the spinel. Total drop of these beauties from the earpost to the base of the spinel .... slightly shy of 4 cm.

BRENDA BL517-11 CUSTOM ORDER

Pretty blooms in a pearly vase. Multi coloured faceted tourmaline rondells sit prettily atop a smooth freshwater pearl brio.

Galangal has a beautiful 'perfume-y' fragrance and this creation has the colour palette of this wonderful fragrant root.

This pendant is a AAA grade checker cut pale lemon quartz measuring approximately 21mm x 17mm, eye clean, clear and pristine, approx 12 carat weight. I've attached it to a goldfilled almond cut hoop to which I've done some wire coiling and added faceted little garnet kisses (onion shape) and round smokey quartz.

SWEET CHERRY PINK BL515-11 S$55 SOLD


Today has been a lonnnng day. Been out most of the day and just got home and only barely managed to take some fairly decent photos whilst there was still some light.

These hot pink chalcedony smooth heartshape briolettes are the most cheerful set of stones I currently have in my collection. Whilst they were "touted"as red, I had my doubts but still went ahead and purchased them as I found them unusual and quite out of the ordinary!

I've dressed them with gorgeous pearly white topaz, silver freshwater keishi, spinel and pink topaz. White topaz rondells have been wirewrapped around marquis shaped links. Pins and wirework in sterling silver, so are the earposts. Drop of: 42mm

Brios here measure 25mm x 15mm

BELLA BL511-11 S$75 SOLD

Good end to a bad start.....Apparently Windows did an update whilst I was asleep, caused my PC to crash and the whole day was spent restoring everything.....a lot of stuff has been wiped out :((

Anyway, its given me a chance to reload my photos for this lovely set which is going to a wonderful new owner. Only fair to let her see what I'll be putting in the mail tomorrow.

Really pretty mystic AAA sky blue topaz brios, cascading down from the earposts, on a gold filled chain are little rondells of lapis lazuli, iolite, tanzanite, freshwater pearls and a couple of dark blue iolite brios. Dainty orchid earposts.
