Elizabeth has this opulent look about it, no?

Over and out.

Angel of Mine -- SOLD --

Was reminded of this set of charms by the endless Phantom of the Opera publicity going on a week or so ago. Wanted to do something with them then but just had no "inspiration". The creative juices flowed and I decided to keep things simple and match the charms with the gold hoops, chains and dainty Swarovski crystals.

Both sides feature the SAME charm. I intentionally photographed this pair to show both sides of the charm.

Summer Bliss -- SOLD --

Flowers still bloom around here at Bead Haven. This time, light pink flowers are paired with a rhodium plated flower charm and Swarovski crystals in complementary green. Just nice for summer dresses or weekend fun.

Ice Beauty -- SOLD --

Silver toned hoops, earhooks and chains are matched with rhodium plated charms and enhanced with sparkly Swarovski crystals to create this look of icyness yet alluring charm.

Tensha Gardens -- SOLD --


Another one of piece because it is pretty hard to find this lovely printed beads. They are not the usual patterned ones thus adding to the rarity (and exclusivity).

This pair is adorned with small Swarovski crystals, Czech glass and rhodium plated charms. Finished with silver toned earhooks for a delightful pair that dances upon your ears.

Porcelain Charm $18

The earrings does not look as nice here as it does in real life. In my opinion anyway. Made of porcelain beads, Swarovski crystals and rhodium plated charms... they are dainty, feminine and charming all at once.

Great for the weekends!

Golden Gardens $40 ++ reserved ++


I am tempted to keep this!!! Definitely one off item with slightly more expensive materials... hence the price.

The delicate and intricately formed filagree butterfly sits atop an elongated tensha bead. Finished with mismatched lengths of a gold chain dangle, the whole drop hangs elegantly from the chain to charm and attract attention. Tastefully of course!

Worlds Apart -- SOLD --

I know, not quite... but the circular rhodium beads remind me of globes!
Features silver toned charms dangling beneath and Czech glass above. :)

Jazzy Pink -- SOLD --


A hot pink number for some weekend fun. :P
Swarovski crystals, rubbery pink beads and rhodium plated filagree...

Mary-Anne -- SOLD --

A double "bonus" of two different shaped tensha beads in one necklace. Mary-Anne features the hot favourite black tensha roses paired with Swarovski crystals in black and light pink. She dangles from a corded chain that has an extension chain to allow you to adjust the length.

Amelie $18


Pretty swirls that form little flowers decorate these lampwork beads. When matched with pink Swarovski crystals and rhodium plated filagree, they form an integral part of Amelie, a dainty and very feminine pair of earrings.

Floral Ribbons $16


A peep into the bead box revealed this pair of cloisonne beads in cheerful orange. Paired up with gold toned ribbons and bright orangey Swarovski crystals, Floral Ribbons is set to brighten up any top you have.

Matches best with white summery peasant top dresses. You know the look!

Springtime -- SOLD --

Elegance and beauty. These pretty pair of tensha beads are used together with dainty chain tassles and gold hoops to create a look of timelessness.

I love the beautiful print of these tensha beads. Expensive beads but I guess, they know what they mean when beauty comes at a price. Strictly one piece only. No remakes. I only managed to lay my hands on a pair of the tensha beads... and I must say, I am tempted to take this off the market.

Tensha Love -- SOLD --


Rose printed tensha beads are enhanced with frosted pink hearts and odd shaped crystal beads...
Feminine and charming. And not quite the norm.

Strawberry Shortcake $23


Not quite the cartoon series of yesteryear but still charming nonetheless. This bracelet features silver toned strawberry charms, Czech glass leaves and pinkish Swarovski crystals. It is finished with a double chain at back and closed with a toggle clasp.

Lampwork -- SOLD --


The quiet beauty of lampwork beads are enhanced with a light tassle and Swarovski crystals. Quite the chinois chic without looking like, ahem, a waitress in a Chinese restaurant.

Twinkle Stars -- SOLD --

Rhodium plated elements take centrestage in this piece. Silver toned outline of stars matched with star charms, loop their way to your wrist along with rings and fun light pink beads. A lighthearted piece that holds its own.
