Luxe Pearl Collar $70

I love pearls and when I spotted this in a magazine that a friend and fellow beader lent me, I couldn't resist doing it up. Woven using Swarovski pearls in various sizes and lots of effort! Very bridal-looking too.

Necklace is choker length and is meant to sit around the base of the neck. I have attached a extension chain for the perfect fit.

Faye $20

A pretty blue and white combination of glass beads. Great for a casual weekend :) Necklace is about 30inches long.

Ethnic Bling $30

An interesting mix of materials here: Wooden black squares, multiple faceted "crystal" blings of different shapes and tones, black faceted elongated beads, matt gold beads, faceted "crystal" balls and two round black beads with gold carvings all linked together with a weaved thick silver chain.

A piece that is both elegant and unique...

Edwina $32

This is a very unique piece (pardon the bad photography). It has 2 toggles with lovely flower design. Roses and leaves dangle from a thicker chain. If you un-do both toggles, you have a simple straight chain as below:

And viola! You can actually wear the thicker chain as a bracelet! Just imagine roses and leaves sashaying either on your waist or your neck...








Esmeralda $52


Sometimes, what ideas we started out with may evolve into something totally different as long as we keep our minds open...

The jade donut was one of my spoils from a trip in Hong Kong. I bought a few pieces in varying shades, thickness and size. Was wondering what to do with them and decided to try to put them in a trendy light... Jade is often perceived as old-fashion.... but some of them are simply so lovely! However, in the midst of crafting this piece, I ran into some minor issues of fitting in the filigee. As such, the idea evolved into something still traditional, but with a twist of modern look.

Aventurine beads, Swarovski pearls and elongated Czech glass beads form the length of necklace. As the main focus is the jade pendant, I've made this necklace the length of something similar to a choker so that it sits higher on the collar bone. Ending with a dragonfly toggle, the jade donut shows a soothing green colour with some translucency.

Pearl Beaded Ball Pendant ($22, excluding chain)

Must confess upfront that this is not the most original of ideas. But I couldn't resist making this when I came across a pretty string of freshwater pearls that's the perfect size for weaving into this ball of pearls. Looks best when worn with a thin gold chain.

Angel Snow $35


This is truly a unique piece.
When I was in Japan, I only bought 2 of these beautiful glass pendants.. 1 with gold trimmings and white painted flowers, the other with "black" trimmings and white flowers against a maroon background.

I've decided to keep the design simple.. so as to show the loveliness of the floral pendant. Featuring the gold pendant here while I decide what to do with the other one :p

A lovely pendant on a 14K gold-plated necklace, accentuated by freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals.... The length of the entire necklace is 16 inches.. a short necklace sitting nicely on the collar bone...

Simple yet elegant piece..

Exuberance $35


My mother wanted something to wear to a dinner. Hence, i created this super glam series....
Introducing the first of this series which I've been experiencing with recently:

Exuberance. Made from 925 sterling silver and cubic zirconia and a beautiful high-quality multi-faceted teardrop Swarovski crystal, she is simply too radiant. I've attached various pictures here to show her in different light.

The "fiery" amethyst shimmery tone... that catches light at every angle. At one moment, she appears pinkish purplish.. at another, she seems darker and emits a bluish tone.

Simply string her up with a silver or white gold chain and you're all ready to dazzle! (chain not included but can be sourced for at an additional cost)

Lina $40

This is done at the request for someone who wanted something 'greenish'. It is actually a remake of an older design but this time round, I have added a pretty carved jasper flower sits on the side of this beauty. Olive Jade ovals teamed with freshwater pearls.

Have sufficient materials for 1 more remake. So do drop me a line if you are keen on this.

Rose Blush $35 (SOLD)

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.
Great for the office and any function after hours.

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.

For My Bridesmaid and Flowergal


Decking out my flowergirl and bridesmaid in pink crystals and pearls, 2 of my favourite things! :)
Top: For my pretty flowergirl who is so excited about being part of the bridal procession :) Kept her bracelet girlie and suitable for a young gal with the dangling of white clay roses with pink centres at intervals. A very labour-intensive piece of work but well worth the look of pleasure on the little gal's face when she saw her pretty bracelet.
Bottom: A whole set of accessories for my bridesmaid. Kept it simple in line with her outfit, so as not to overwhelm. Missing from the pic is the bracelet, done up in much of the same style as the necklace.

Jubilee $29 (1 pc only)


I had a hard time deciding what to do with this very pretty pendant.. bursting with vibrant colours, comes with 4 crystals inlaid in a curve and a little butterfly sits at a corner.
Finally decided to theme it with something that will contrast the vibrancy of the pendant and display it to the fullest. Smoky quartz chips and 2 clear quartz carved flowers flank the pendant and the chain ends with a dragonfly toggle.
Just the item to jazz up plain clothes.

Danellea $35 (1 pc only)


Another vintage piece. This one shows a decorated cameo of a sweet demure lady holding her hands in a clasp. There are 2 pretty brass roses wired on the side of the pendant. A floral charm and a pretty little crystal (again, bought from Japan) dangle from the pendant.
This necklace is slightly long - one side of the chain comes with onyx beads and elongated gold beads with rutted lines on them. The other side is made up of a unique chain with various links to create an interesting effect.
A totally unique and pretty piece :)


Audrey (SOLD)


This is a totally beautiful piece. I wanted so much to keep it for myself. However, I decided to release it at the SMU bazaar though. Great that it went to a very nice lady - sister of a fellow vendor, Agnes. Agnes' stall was right beside mine.. and she really has some amazing stuff.. selling those little clip-on accessories for clogs and those cute watches with holey straps. Think it's a fairly new concept in Singapore.. hence, not much penetration for her products yet. Nevertheless, Agnes, do persevere! Btw, your 2 baby boys are totally adorable! :)
This vintage piece has a picture of Audrey Hepburn on a floral pendant has a focal. A brass rose and beautiful glass brio (hand carried from Japan) dangle from the pendant. The chain is made of 2 different types of chains to give it some variety. The hook used is actually a floral S-hook.
Since we're talking abt the hook, I must confess that there is some manufacturer defect with it. Nothing irks me more than buying something back and realising that it is defective. This pretty but useless hook will actually break if you bend too hard. I really must apologise for this. I absolutely have no idea this hook is such a filmsy one. Pls be assured that we try our best to ensure that our creations will not break easily with normal wear. However, I guess at times, we are unable to help it if it's a manufacturer defect. The only saving grace is that I've only sold 1 or 2 pcs of creations with this ridiculous hook. Hence, for the 2 ladies who bought the necklaces with this hook, kindly let me know if you had encountered this issue. I'll replace it for free. Much apologies on this.

Ballerina Necklace (customised)


After seeing the bracelet Ballerina, a client asked me to customise this necklace as a gift for her friend who dances. Other than using the same ballerina charm and shoe, I've also added in an extra dangling crystal. Hence, you see 1 red and 1 black crystals swaying at the bottom. I've also added 2 floral beads to connect it to a different brass chain. I've also changed the original toggle used in the bracelet to a pretty flora S-hook.
One of my colleagues saw the end product. She immediately ordered 2 more pcs - 1 for her niece who dances ballet and 1 for either herself or a gift to another friend.

Honey Drops ("S" Edition)


This is the 925 silver version of Honey
Drops. There are 3 reasons why I called this the "S" Edition:


1) The lady who commissioned it is called Sally

2) It is done in 925 Silver

3) A special edition

The colours of the accompanying pearls are peach instead of bronze that were used in the original Honey Drops. Thought that it would go better with the bright silver chain and create a softer look.

Emelia $32 (SOLD)


A double-tiered necklace.. I've done this quite some time back and kept forgetting to post it. A lovely tensha pendant coupled with coral, black czech glass and red Swarovski crystals. A dark red Swarovski brio dangles from a silver chain to form the upper tier.
A necklace that is bold and sophisticated, yet the rose tensha pendant lends a a touch of feminity to it .
One of my colleagues saw this before I had the time to post it up.. and I've decided to "usurp" her name for it since hers is a pretty one and somehow, it seems to fit this necklace perfectly: her dressing is also one that is bold and sophisticated :))

Aphrodite $30 (SOLD)

Aphrodite... the classical Greek goddess of love and beauty. This particular piece reminds me of that..

A long necklace with a cameo showing the portrait of a lovely lady. The cameo sits in an ornately designed vintage pendant. 2 golden czech glass leaves and a jet black teardrop dangle from the pendant. Connecting the pendant are 2 different types of bronze chains with 2 floral bars and rose balls connecting them. (Click on the pic for a clear look on the details.)

The clasp is an S-hook with a flower carved on it. The length of the chain is 56 cm. This necklace will look great with a simple top. To really carry out the Victorian look, wear it with a high-collared lacy white/black top.
