LOVINIA BL3006-15 S$95 SOLD

We've breezed thru' the first month of the year.  Many, many things happened in the month of January.  Not all of them good.  Hopefully February will be better, all round.  I've chosen 'hammered' rose quartz nuggets - rose quartz being the stone of unconditional love, opening up the heart chakra - and smooth rose quartz nuggets to finish off this romantic piece.  Polymer clay pillows and posies of peridot, pink quartz, rock quartz and rose quartz rondelles and brios enhance and complement the lovely colours of the clay beads.  Ends with gold filled chains and vermeil toggle.  27" from end to end.

JUST PEACHY BL3002-15 S$70 SOLD

Another necklace featuring polished titanium quartz irregular shape sticks, artisan lampwork beads and a suede threadled chain.  Necklace measures approx 36"/91 cm and the toughest part was weaving the suede through the chain links.......I kid you not :)

IVANA BL2102-14 S$90 SOLD

Still feeling Christmassy but the day has passed ....soon it'll be the end of another eventful year and I do hope that 2015 will be a better year for all of us, no matter where in the world we may be located.

I couldn't sit another day without playing with my precious stones.

I've decided on elegantly luxe for this gorgeous pair of inverted green onyx brios measuring approx 12mm x 8mm.  To secure these beauties, I've chosen a really unique set of sterling silver earposts embellished with cubic zirconia.  These could pass off as a brick and mortar jeweller's offering.  This pair drops at a 28mm.  Elegance personified.

GRACE BL2100-14 S$98 SOLD


 It's a lovely, quiet, restful Sunday afternoon out here in Singapore.  Like the cool, calm and sunny afternoon, I've created this lovely soothing necklace comprising smooth oval natural chrysoprase ovals that measure 10 x 14mm and a carved jade bead measuring approx15mm in diameter.  The carved jade is flanked by jade rondelles as well as vermeil rondell beads.

Necklace measures approx 19"/48cm

OLIVIA BL2070-14 S$88 SOLD




Gold, grey, bronze, creamy white, chocolate, tile...........these are the shades of pearls used in this gorgeous piece.  I've used a mixture of Swarovski glass pearls with some shell pearls.  The colours in reality are stunning.  A non-tarnish floral embossed connector allows me to create this triple layered necklace with a sleek single layer towards the neck.  Drop from toggle to longest outer layer is approx 38"

SEAFOAM BL2066-14 S$88 SOLD

Inspired by the gorgeous shades of blue/green in this photo, I dug out my faceted cushion cut green onyx - the colour in reality is a beautiful jade green.....showing up on my monitor as a lousy green tone :( - and added to it green onyx, apatite and natural chalcedony.

Cushion gems measure 2cm x 1.5 cm.  Drop - 6cm

JONQUIL BL2060-14 S$95 SOLD

I was immediately attracted to this line of yellow opals and bought it inspite of its cost.  Beautiful shades of yellow with excellent facetting and cut.  Irregular shape nuggets with a half line of smooth multi coloured fluorite wheels.  Metal components are a mix of gold fill and gold vermeil.  Total length approx 17"

OLIVIA BL2058-14 S$85 SOLD

SANDRA BL1015-13 S$38 SOLD


Red gingham checks, sunshine, lemonade, butter cake, strawberries, ice cream....these polymer clay pillows are reminiscent of picnics in the park....

CLAIRE BL1011-13 S$90 SOLD

This has been really difficult to photograph mainly because of the clear stones used.  I've used 2 display sets to show off the stones of this necklace as best I can.  Exquisite, faceted white topaz coins measuring 6mm x 6mm and 'hammered' and polished crystal quartz coin brios measuring between 8mm - 9mm. Goldfilled chain/wire work. Vermeil toggle.

SUNSHINE BL1010-13 S$65 SOLD

Like the rest of the world we're experiencing crazy weather patterns - incessant rain for 48 hours and then bright sunshiney days with humidity in the 90 percentile range.  The one saving grace is the constant cool breeze accompanying our sunshine.

This pair of earrings is absolutely apt in describing our climate out here in Singapore.  The lampwork beads are gorgeous transparent pale yellow with spashes of white, shades of green, darker yellow and even bits of orange.  I've kept the embellishment to the bare minimum, emphasising instead on the  crisp citrine stones atop and below the lampwork bead.  A small cluster of prehnite, citrine and pink and light purple amethyst rondells have also been included. 

Drop: 5.5cm

As with all the lampwork bead earrings, these are OOAK

LAVENDER & LACE BL1009-13 S$80 SOLD


Almost etheral, these beautiful brios are faceted white druzyt and I've kept the whole arrangement 'soft' by using faceted natural blue chalcedony, tanzanite, pink and purple amethyst and iolite rondells in shades of lavender, lilac and blue.  

Brios measure approx 20mm x 12 mm
Drop: 4.5cm

Crazy weather patterns around the world - floods, smog, pollution......so how about something nice and pretty instead.

Beautiful handmade lampwork glass beads, keishi pearls, garnet, freshwater pearls, amethyst, citrine, prehnite and pink topaz rondells.  These stunners drop at 5.5 cm.  OOAK

BLUE LACE BL883-12 S$75 SOLD



I love agate....especially these.  Blue and white striation throughout the little trapezoids of blue lace agate.  Soft blues with interesting blue and white layers, separated by tiny silver beads and for the centre I've used faceted blue lace agate balls and silver filigree balls.  Extremely soothing to the eyes.

Measuring approx 18" I've ended it at the back with sterling chains and toggle.  The chains make it more comfortable that fiddling around with a toggle attached to a not so small stone.

Trapezoid agate - 15mm x 10mm
Faceted balls - 14mm diameter

TOFFEE - CUSTOM ORDER



She was attracted to GWENN but she wanted something with larger brios.....


Fan shape, beautiful smokey quartz brios measuring approx 22mm x 19mm, these have almost similar embellishments as GWENN.

GWENN BL882-12 S$85 SOLD


I'm not sure if petite would be the correct word to use when describing these gorgeous smokey quartz pillar brios.  They are approx 2cm long and 8mm across.

I've added colour and sparkle to these dark beauties and with the chains, garnet, pink topaz, carnellian, rhodochrosite, pyrite and a couple of songea sapphires, these are now glitzy and glamorous.

The earrings drop at 3.5 cm but from the earpost to the base of the longest chain that would take you to about 5 cm.
