Charlotte $24

This pair of earrings is a bit pricey compared to the rest.. mainly because of all the materials used. Lovely tensha beads with vibrant pics of vivid roses, 14K plated rings. 14K gold-plated ladybirds are added for a hint of playfulness. Moonstone opal strips and a dark blue crystal drops all the way from Japan.

All the goodness, and hence, the price.

Pretty yet fun pair of earrings.. stands out yet not over-powering..

Sherry $18

A rather simple pair of earrings: Swarovski blings right on top and 2 sweet pretty cherry quartz carved flowers at the bottom. Hanging from kidney wires to provide a bit of length and swaying effect.

Looks simple but has a rather charming effect when worn.

Charlene $20

Smooth lavender amethyst rectangles , peach freshwater pearls, white seed pearls, Swarovski crystals... and of coz, 2 beautiful mulit-faceted pink brios hand-carried back from Japan. This pair of earrings is all about simplicity and elegance... The brios really enhance the beauty of the earrings when they reflect light.. with the clear cool sweet pink...

Bag Charm (Code: H09) $10

"Hearts & Spheres" -- This bag charm carries with it a "glam" factor.. Imagine matt gold hearts, copper and bronze beads with a pearly sheen and some gold and silver "metallic" textured beads...all hanging from 4 separate chains that meld together to form a nice cluster...

Goes really well with beige, white or black bags..

Bag Charm (Code: H08) $10

A pretty pink flower right at the top. Add in some pretty acrylic beads that are flat rounds or spheres... Throw in a couple of faux pearls and viola! A pretty creation to jazz up that bag.. This bag charm really lends some cheer and adds a fun factor to an otherwise plain or "boring" bag...

Renee $22

This pair of earrings speaks volume.. Detailed, intricate turquoise resin flowers form the focal point with 2 Swarovski pearl cores. 2 metal floral frames form the body and it ends with a pair of lovely turquoise blue Czech glass brios.

Measuring 7cm from the leverback earhooks, this pair is definitely a head-turner.

Regal NOW $12.80 (Was $18)

A truly unique piece since I "created" a metal frame by joining 2 metal filigees together - a beautiful flora one on top and a 3-hole one as the lower piece. Peachy freshwater pearls and a pair of gorgeous multi-faceted maroon glass brios with swirls dangle from the 2 frames.

Feminine-looking yet radiating a sense of 'royalty'.. this pair measures 6.5cm from the ear wires.

Bag Charm (code: G07) $10

A "butterfly princess" creation. I really love these pewter butterfly charms (that why u see me using them so often!). And what other colour suit a princess better than pink. So beads and "bell flowers" in shades of pink complete this pretty bag charm that is fit for a princess!

Bag Charm (Code: G06) $12 (SOLD)

A "roses and butterflies" combination. This bag charm is anchored by a heart shaped tensha bead and ends with a trail of butterflies. Looks great against a black bag.

Peaches and Cream $16

This is kinda of a 'back to basics' creation. Swarovski pearl in light cream rose dangles at the end of a chain and topped off with peachy pink round coral beads. 3.5cm drop from the earwires.

Simple and yet elegant. This is definitely a keeper. I think I will add a pair to my own personal collection :)

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.

Bag Charm (Code: H05) $10

A "lock & key" combination. A heart shaped lock dangles right at the top of the bag charm. Coupled with gold keys, faux pearls, "bling" beads and a black drop at the bottom, this charm has a "detailed" look. This picture is taken flat.. hence the effect of the charms and pearls falling nicely is not shown.

Approx length of 5-6 inches.

Bag Charm (Code: H04) $10

A "butterfly & lace" combination. A ring made of faux pearls with a butterfly dangling from it. 3 strands of acrylic beads and bellflowers dangle from the keychain to create a cascading effect. Again, a nice fat drop is right at the bottom to create the additional bling effect.

About 6 inches, this bag charm is great with bags in white, beige, different shades of blue and yellow.

Bag Charm (Code:H03) (SOLD OUT)

Doesn't this remind you of strawberries and cream?

This bag charm is made of a yummy golden strawberry, faux pearls in peach, yellow, white and gold colours and a mega transparent flat brio. Approximately 5 inches in length, it will definitely jazz up the look of any white, red or black bags!

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.

China Blue $20

Coin-shaped polymer clay beads featuring blue flowers on a silvery grey base. These beads are handmade by Charlene from the Tinkle Art Room.

These beads are so pretty by themselves that I decided to keep the design simple. So I have just added Swarovski crystals in shades of blue to compliment the blue flower motifs and the bling to compliment the base colour of the bead. Kidney earwires are used for the added length and a touch of elegance.

Miss Buttons $14 (SOLD)

Buttons! A fairly unusual material for jewellery making but it certainly ups the fun quotient ;)

A collection of buttons makes up this really petite and lightweight creation. Slightly embellished with some Swarovski crystals.

A really fun piece that is suitable for younger gals to wear.

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 :))

Ballerina $22

A bronze coloured charm bracelet made up of thick and thin chains. Dangling from the thinner chain is a dancing ballerina, a ballet shoe and a red Swarovski crystal with a bead cap. A really elegant and sweet bracelet.

When worn, the charms and crystal will dangle and sashay whenever the wearer moves. Toggle clasp.

Something Unpleasant

Something unpleasant happened yesterday. I felt that I had to let people know of the whole incident...
1) Last Fri, we bought some of our accessories to show our colleagues.
2) One of my colleagues, who was also a fellow crafter and had her own website for biz, saw my Honey Drops, and tried it on.
3) Seeing her keen interest and being fellow crafter and colleague, I offered to sell to her just slightly above cost price. She declined.
4) On Tue, she wore a necklace that was almost the same design of Honey Drops (well, except maybe she used Citrine and something else) and "paraded" around the office in it.

Well.... this person did not ask for permission at all whether she could replicate the design. She simply just copied the whole thing. One may ask though, why would this girl be so silly and wear it to office to show all other colleagues, especially when one of them was the original designer? Is it simply bochup or thoughtlessness? To show that she doesn't have respect for others? Or simply to show that she can copy designs as and when she likes it, especially since she does not have much creativity? Well, it may also not help to let others know that she has a habit of wearing the pieces of accessories she made for some time prior to selling to others.

There are so many of such accessories-makers out there.. it is hard to remain original especially since the more we see, the more easily influenced and inspired we are by others. I cannot claim that I've never been influenced by the designs of others. However, let's have some decency and not just copy wholesale, ok? Infuse some originality into your own creations.. if not, what is the joy of doing such handmade accessories when it is meant as a portal for creativity and self-satisfaction?
