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"

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.
Clean cut and elegant.

Length:  17-1/4" 
OOAK - no repeats

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

MEGAN BL865-12 S$85 SOLD


Lazy, hazy Saturday afternoon and whilst this is a perfect day for lounging and doing nothing else I've been productive and worked on some of my custom orders, delivered 2 sets and came home and decided to complete a rather fun necklace.  Fun because I've mixed a huge bouquet of earthy tone czech glass flowers into a polymer clay and carnellian necklace.  The irregular shaped carnellian nuggets are really not that appealling on its own so I selected polymer clay beads which would complement and enhance the  gemstone nuggets and the said bouquet of czech glass vintage style flowers.  For the stigma of the flowers I've used swarovski crystals.  This is a perfect piece of accessory to wear on a day when you really want to wear something that will perk you up.

Necklace measures 17-1/2"and ends with a vermeil toggle.

CAMILLE BL858-12 CUSTOM ORDER


It's Friday folks! Spent the day sorting out my recent purchases.  I've been working on orders - and still working - for a few weddings that are coming up so I didn't really have the time to do my 'cataloging' of my new supplies.  Sorted out most of it today and also found time to work on a request for a labradorite necklace.  I am quite blessed to have very patient clients and I managed to finish another WIP.  No touch-ups or photoshopping (I don't have PS unfortunately or fortunately) with regards to the blue flashes in these stunning faceted lab stones.  I've used a solar quartz, ruby and pink topaz rondells for the side focal embellishment.

JULIET BL854-12 S$100 SOLD


It's been a long while since we woke up to a cool, beautiful Saturday morning. The intense heat the last couple of months have been a little too unbearable, especially if its the weekend and everybody is attempting to do something out of the house.  Malls are packed, eateries are overflowing, parks and beaches are filled as if its the Apocalypse and its safer in numbers so we all congregate..........today, its different.  Light pitter patter of rain drops and a constant 'cool' which in Singapore would mean a low of 24* C!  By C, I'm talking metric.....Celcius :(  Well, we can't be too fussy after having braved soaring temps of 35* C....yup.....that hot and with probably 99.9% humidity.


All this talk of heat brings me to this red hot whopper of a shell pearl! 23mm x 18mm its one fat shell pearl! 1/2 drilled, I've attached a gorgeous crystal studded bail and designed the chain using faceted black onyx.  A couple of elongated torpedo shape red coral brings the focus back to the dazzler - the Pearl with a capital "P".  Necklace length is 18"/45.5cm and the centrepiece drop is 2"/5cm.  Check out http://candidlee.blogspot.sg/  I've done a quick 'outit' ensembleto go along with this necklace.  Of course jeans and a simple top would do just as well!

SAHARA BL850-12 S$75 SOLD

After weeks of sweltering heat, finally there's some relief.  Since late last night till around 5 am this morning we had a thunderstorm with abundant rain following.  Up till an hour ago there was beautiful sunshine with a cool breeze - hard to believe that the two descriptive phrases could be used in the same sentence; beautiful sunshine and cool breeze - but its true.  


After the post office and a package 'by hand' drop we had a relatively early lunch and I decided to take a 'break' from the 3 custom orders I'm working on and do up something different.  


Inspired or rather, influenced, by the recent heat wave, I've called this SAHARA, like the dessert, hot and barren with mirages of oasis' on the horizon.



Smooth oval impression jasper, corresponding mooakite smooth beads and a lovely irregular shaped flat oval drop orange and sand tone impression jasper pendant.  Lariat style, this measures 19".

JOVELL BL046-09 S$40 SOLD

A lush bounty of beautiful orange, plum, fuschia and buttercup czech glass beads on a natural brass chain. Secured by a pewter toggle, this piece has an added point of interest - a padlock and key set of brass charms. 7.5"

ISABEL BL533-08 S$75 SOLD

A bright and sunny Sunday morning here in Singapore. What better colour to start out the day than these smooth rectangular yellow turquoise stones. Separating each bead are 14k goldfilled beads. Creating a sort of "centerpiece" with slightly larger rondells and round 14k goldfilled beads, the other stones are separated by smooth and ridged 14k goldfilled beads. Although these are termed yellow turquoise stones, the actual colour is a cross between light mustard yellow and sage. Subtle yet noticeable. Measuring approx 16" this ends with a toggle.

Simple and pure. Opaque and clear, beautiful lampwork rondells measuring approx 12mm. In between the lampwork beads, I've included smooth white agate. Goldplated washers and bicones separate all the beads. This necklace measures approx 20 ins. Absolutely beautiful

APPLE JASPER (BL 769-07) S$65 SOLD

.
I have done up another necklace for a private order, with these jasper stones closer to the neck - choker style, with the chain shortened towards the back and not visible in the front. This is slightly more versatile in that it is long enough to sit nicely under a shirt/blouse collar with the stones showing in front. With copper tone washers as spacers, I've secured the stones with double copper tone chains. Ends with a copper tone toggle. As with all jaspers, these have beautiful colours and natural inclusions.
