Golden Showers $22

In this frenzy of posting up some of the items I've completed some time back, I decided to save the best for the last.

Imagine the rays of the sun falling on you.. bathing you in warmth such that you seemingly radiate an aura of light...

14K gold-plated filigees with an AB gold finishing glass briolettes dangling in the midst (the colours of the briolettes just do not show up in this picture). Sweet peachy Swarovski crystals swaying and it ends with another treasure: a pair of multi-faceted carnelian drops.

This pair is pricier due to the use of gold-filled earwires (which are as good as gold). Do note that as the carnelian drops are natural stones, each stone and each pair will differ in terms of colours and shapes. If you need just 1 pair of earrings, this will be it.

Tips: Care of your jewellery

Pls note that all the pieces sold here are handcrafted and hence, delicate. Some tips on taking care of them to ensure they last:

1) Those pieces with crystals and semi-precious stones are fragile and might chip or break if you drop them or hit them against hard surfaces. Hence do take care!

2) The jewellery can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Unless necessary, there is no need to wash them. However, if that is required, they should be washed with water and wiped DRY with a cloth. Although the metal parts of the pieces are tarnish-resistant, it's still better to keep them dry.

3) Perfume, hair spray or any other chemicals will damage the jewellery. So do take care to protect your jewellery when using these products.

4) For pieces with coral, DO NOT ever use detergent on them. Coral were previously living things and detergent will destroy them.

4) For pieces with freshwater pearls, the pearls will become shinier with wear as they absorb the oil from our bodies to increase their lustre.

5) The lighter-coloured jade pieces may turn darker with time as they are quite decent quality jade pieces. According to the Chinese, jade pieces will help to ward off evil or mishaps and hence, the colour of the jade pieces will change with its owner (i.e. become greener) over time.

6) Should any of the pieces be spoilt due to wear & tear, do not throw them away! We can attempt to repair them for a small fee if the damage is reversible.

7) For best maintenance of your jewellery, keep them in small ziplock bags after wearing. Try not to mix different pieces together as metals tarnish faster when mixed. In general, the gold pieces (unless goldplated or gold-filled) may tarnish faster than the silver ones.
