Rubies $16 (SOLD OUT)


Brilliantly red lampwork beads with a tinge of gold (foil) in them. Throw in some fresh water pearls for a touch of elegance and some wired work, & voila! Rubies is born!!
Striking yet simple.. great when worn with casual clothes or even to dinners!

Citrine Rose $20



This picture does not show the colour of the citrine brio well. Multi-faceted that catches light & is a tinge of light yellow. With yellow rose tensha beads and 2 antique gold beads with beautiful engravings.

A really feminine pair... & comes with leverback or hook earwires.

Egyptian Gold (sold)


This is a totally unique piece. Bold gold engravings on black tablets. Topped with 2 gold-foil glass beads. One of the pieces where the picture will speak for itself.
This is the only piece.. I've not even the time to post it up and my colleague's sister grabbed it immediately.
Was still contemplating on keep for myself!! :*(

Yu Fei (玉妃) $28


Nice jade beads that are hand-crafted. Coupled with pewter beads and amazonite faceted squares dangling from 925 silver chains. A modern look to "old" materials.
Except for the pewter beads, everything else is 925 silver. Do note that since jade is a natural stone, the pieces of jade beads will come in differing shades of green. This pair appears to be "whiter" than others. You can let me know your preference for "green-ness" of the jade..

Jaslin NOW $12 (Was $16)


2 tensha beads in the form of pink roses against black background. Coupled them with some nice acrylic beads in various hues of pink and some dangling chains.. Nice longish effect.
Great when worn with pink or black clothings..

Peach Royalty $12


For those who are very particular about the weight of earrings, this is made for them! A totally light-weight piece.. nice intricate metal filigees topped with fire-polished beads that are a nice pinkish peachy colour.. with Swarovski crystals dangling in the centre..
The ideal pair for princesses..

Rose Chalcedony $20


There are some things in life that are worth waiting for..
In this case, I recalled that I was waiting for a couple of months for these semi-precious stones.. these beautiful red chalcedony! I saw them in a thick clustered strand in a shop that I frequent. However, the lady boss was not prepared to sell them separately till she could think of a use for them. I've seen other colours of these stones sold.. fuschia pink and another colour. However, they just don't look as good as this colour. I was tempted to buy the whole strand.. but the cost of it put me off.. it was a few hundred bucks!!
Finally, the boss decided to sell them separately. Hence, this creation: gold plated rose filigees that are beautiful on their own and themed with the red chalcedony. The red chalcedony are in a lovely fat tear drop shape and are crafted multi-faceted. There's a little shine to the beautiful stones.. and since they're natural, each looks slightly different... Totally dainty yet glam. With leverback ear wires.

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.

Sea Breeze $22 (SOLD)


A necklace of blue and green tones. Cool colours that are perfect for the hot weather we are experiencing now! Great for a casual weekends.

Necklace is meant to be worn long.




Glass Candy NOW $14 (Was $20)(1 pc only)


Doesn't this pendant look like a delectable candy bar?? Red with gold strips in varying shades hanging on the black multi-strand strings that form an intricate ribbon. 2 strands of gold seed beads form the loop to dangle the pendant.
A rather simple yet dramatic piece. Choker length.

Fluttering in the Wind $18


This is a totally sweet and nice combination. Pink Swarovski butterfly crystals themed with dark fuschia bicone crystals. The focus is on the tensha beads with silvery white background and pink roses hanging from silver chains.


When the wearer moves, the butterflies seem to come alive and flutter around!

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.

2 heart-shaped and 2 cubic goldfoil glass beads. Simple yet bold. The earrings hang about 4cm from the earwires.

Abundance $40


Another oynx piece. Onyx beads with some antique rose spacers. An agate handcrafted goldfish hangs from a floral metal piece.
This piece is very striking with the goldfish as a focal piece. Traditional symbol with a touch of modernity. For the Chinese, the symbol of the fish means abundance and prosperity.
