JULIET BL887-12 S$88 SOLD


It's such a beautiful, nostalgic Saturday afternoon out here in sunny Singapore.  The breeze that is filtering softly through the opens doors into the house bring me back to the time I was just a child growing up in a beautiful bungalow by the seafront.  The bungalow was the home of my Dad's cousin and we were blessed to spend a few years of my parent's early marriage years in that house.  For someone who grew up by the seafront I truly don't understand my fear of the sea.  Photos of those years show me with my huge beautiful dog, on the beach, without a care in the world, just happy.  Nostalgic and slightly sad.  Those days are long gone.  

Back to the present, the breeze, mild sunshine and the sounds of silence all around me, make me want to sit and cry but I'm not one to dwell on negativity, instead, I've been working on lots of stuff - custom orders, random creations.......

JULIET is a cheerful pair.  Bright cheerful coloured rondells with a sprinkling of sober, toned down colours.  The rondells comprise garnets, pink topaz, iolite, black onyx, carnellians, labradorites, mooonstones, blue topaz.....this cloud of happiness crowns an outstanding set of fan shaped London blue topaz measuring approx 18mm x 14mm and weighing in @ approx 18 carats.
They drop at around 4 cm.

CLARA BL868-12 S$50 SOLD



We've been enjoying cool days out here in Singapore but the air quality isn't too good due to the haze caused by forest fires somewhere in Summatra.  I've had to start my day with antihistamines as I'm super sensitive to smoke particles but I'm not complaining as the weather has been a wonderful reprieve from the hot sweltering days we were experiencing before this.

I'm working on earrings this period - custom as well as my own 'choice' creations.  Here, another set of gorgeous polymer clay elongated briolette beads - grey, shades of purple, green, white and off white.  I've used the same colours to pick out the stones I've used for embellishment - shaded green onyx, citrine, purple amethyst and moonstones.  I've chosen silver tone for the metal work.

Brios: 25mm x 10mm
Drop: Approx 4 cm

KASSIE BL853-12 S$90 OOAK SOLD

Continuing with the lovely cool weather - "the kind of weather you'd rather chill to than work"- I too have been working full speed.  With several wedding orders to complete, anxiously awaiting supplies to be delivered, I de-stress by creating new pieces.  Here, I've used baguette cut amethyst brios.  What I love most about these baguettes that I purchase are the bevelled edges.  Precision cut, these beauties are extremely lightweight - just 9 carats and measuring 23mm x 6mm, I've also selected dainty square cut earposts.  These precious lovelies have a drop thats slightly under 5 cm.

SELENA BL845-12 CUSTOM ORDER


The new owner of AILENE requested a 2 layered necklace that she could wear with the earrings.  I've used soft pink rhodochrosite smooth nuggets, swarovski coral tone glass pearls and faceted pink chalcedony wheels plus the gorgeous polymer clay in 2 shapes - round and lentil - and the little bunches of rondells similar to the ones used in AILENE.

AILENE BL844-12 S$50 SOLD


We've had hot, sweltering, humid days out here in Singapore.  Our Summer?  Could be.  We have perpetual tropical summery-y weather all year round but the months of May/June/July tend to be really hawt!  All our flowering plants are thriving and in full bloom - hibiscus, bougainvillea, alamandas.......flowers unique to our hot weather.  That has surely inspired me to do up a cheery flowery inspired pair of earrings.  Like a light yellow vase bursting with yellow, orange, pink, cream and blue flowers.  The polymer clay beads measure approx 13mm and the carnellian, topaz, lemon quartz rondells measure between 3 - 4 mm.  A tiny swarovski palest of pink cube separates the rondells from the clay beads.  Total drop of: 4.5cm

HEIDI BL843-12 S$50 SOLD

It's high noon out here in sunny Singapore and like most days these past couple of months, its a scorcher!  Nice light breezes can be felt but generally hawt!


I'm not really complaining though.........just stating a fact.........not complaining because the sunlight is my ally in photography.


This gorgeous pair of handmade polymer clay brios measuring 18 x 12mm are in gorgeous shades of blue and green.  As the brios on their own are so pretty, I've just complemented them with peridot,turquoise,aquamarine, amethyst and topaz rondells.  Total drop of this pair - 4cm

I finished off a few more custom orders and then decided to use these gorgeous brios which I received in a recent shipment.  Emerald green checkerboard pear shape brios measuring 17x16.5 mm and weighing in at approx 22 carats I've turned them into festive and sassy little eye candy for the ears.
