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...

Paeon $20


I love Greek mythology. As such, this piece is named after Paeon. I got the inspiration as I was thinking of the peony... the clay flower here looks just like the magnificent flower.
The peony is named after Paeon or Paean, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower.

The beautiful ring is actually a bronze filigee ring, with the flower as the centre-piece and a lovely bronze-encrusted crystal dangles from the ring, adding to its charm and grace. This is an adjustable ring.



Rosa Centifolia $24


Rosa Centifolia - (lit. hundred leaved/petaled rose; syn. R. gallica var. centifolia (L.) Regel), the provence rose or cabbage rose or Rose de Mai is a hybrid rose developed by Dutch rose breeders in the period between the 1600s and the 1800s, possibly earlier. It is a complex hybrid.
I personally like the above bracelet a lot. Made up of a bronze chain, a heart-shaped and arrow toggle, with a translucent bead of the "fire" colour.. and of course, the centre piece - a reddish, pinkish rose set in a bronze pendant. A piece that is simple, vintage-looking, striking and graceful all rolled into one.
The picture speaks for itself.....

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.

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.
