Missa $20

A totally elegant and sparkly pair of earrings. (Sorry due to bad photography skills, the shine doesn't really show but trust me, they are really sparkly in reality!)

Versatile enough for the LBD or any party dress in ur wardrobe. :)

Another rose quartz creation for the V-day season.

Faceted rose quartz ovals form the main stone for this choker length necklace. It is accompanied by purple amethyst chips and creamy white pearls.

Rosettes $35

My first attempt at an asymmetrical necklace :)

A rose quartz donut suspended from a 925 silver chain on one side and a chain of Swarovski pearls and rose pink cat's eye on the other. Hanging from the donut are more Swarovski bicone crystals and brios.

A beautiful piece that would be suitable for weddings or dinner functions.

All hardware in 925 silver. A drop of 5 cm from the top of the donut.

Que Sera Sera (SOLD)

Another picture of Que Sera Sera to show it in more details...

Apple of the Eye $16 (SOLD)

This is another cute baby... Wearing a cape shaped like an apple... Totally adorable :))

Extremely tempted to keep for myself.. but as stated earlier, it was reserved by my colleague. The picture did not show the sparkle of the Swarovski crystals used: sweet pink, peridot green and bright red.

The little flurry body is red with a few streaks of darker colour so it is pretty unique.

SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!! :ppp

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.
