Jade Rhapsody II (翡翠绵延篇) (1 pc only) (SOLD)
Was wondering what to do with the remaining pieces of bloodstones.. not enough for another Jade Rhapsody I and yet too beautiful not to be used.
Hence, the 2nd version is born. I mix in more aventurine rounds and copper rondelles for a more modern look than the 1st version - similar yet looks quite different.
Great to be worn with a tube dress to exhibit its beauty or even under a collared shirt for that little peek!
Only piece..

Jade Rhapsody I (翡翠之恋) $50 (SOLD)
I was wondering what to do with the few pieces of excellent carved arc jade that I had. Was inspired by the HK drama serial that was showing on Channel U not too long ago. Hence, the name, Fei Cui.
The design on the centre jade piece is intricately carved.. and strung by seed beads to join up with bloodstones and aventurine rounds.
The closure is a unique antique gold toggle in the shape of a flower.
The picture somehow does not seem to do justice to the actual product.. I absolutely love this combination. What's more, it will look good on a young lady but equally elegant on a mature lady.. great as a Mother's Day gift too! My mum just couldn't take her hands off this once she saw it.. :p
Meant to be worn short and sits just niced slightly below the collarbone. Only piece of this design since it's hard to get bloodstones of these shape and colours.

Black and White - Necklace $40, Bracelet $25
What could be more contrasting then the classic combination of black and white? Beads used are longish twisted white howlite beads, white howlite chips, black chips (not sure of the name of the stone) and black faceted glass beads for the bling factor.
The necklace is structured such that it looks like a double stranded necklace when worn.
A matching bracelet is also available. A triple strand beauty that looks like a cuff when worn.

Purple Royalty $18 (SOLD)
Was asked recently to create a simple pair of earrings in purple. While shopping for the materials, I realised how hard it was to find nice natural stones in the colour purple. So you can imagine how happy I was to find these African Purple Jade ovals. :) Purple stones with some bluish hue in it. Very pretty.
To create a simple look and not to distract from the beauty of these stones, I simply crowned the stones with white and pink freshwater pearls.Monday, April 2, 2007
Turquoise Dreams NOW $25 (Was $35)
A carved turquoise bead framed by some coral red discs, and stringed with white howlite chips with turquoise beads in between to break the otherwise monotonous chain. A versatile piece that can be worn with jeans and a simple spaghetti top or a white tube dress for a dinner.
16 inches in length with a toggle clasp.
Green Fantasy $15 (SOLD OUT)
Abundance $40
Black Beauty $48
This is a totally elegant and striking piece. Multi-faceted elongated oynx beads and small rounded beads form the entire necklace. A brownish, reddish agate flower with a pearl in the centre garnishes the necklace. Bronze antique looking filigee beads add as spacers. This necklace is to be worn with the flower on the side and is about 16.5 inches long.
The closure is a dragonfly toggle clasp as shown in the 2nd picture.
