Gracia $21

Gracia is a beautifully hued bracelet. Featuring nicely plated rhodium charm of an eternity knot (I think I remember the name correctly) and matched with Czech glass beads of bright aqua and green, she sits on the wrist with so much energy coming from within.

A certain calmness that belies a vibrant spirit.

(Part of a set, complete with earrings and necklace. Available for purchase singly or as a set.)

Love, Music $22

I was reminded of J and M as I did this piece. M just celebrated her birthday and was treated to a lovely song item by her boyfriend, J. I think it was a lovely gesture, act of love and something that the two will remember for a while yet.

This piece is made of silver toned kissing couple charm imported from USA, silver plated music symbols, cat's eye, Swarovski crystals and pearls all hanging from a silver toned chain. Closed with a lobster clasp.

Please note : this piece featured is a bracelet. Customisations for a whole set (earrings and necklace) is possible. Enquire for more details.

Pamela $30 ++ reserved ++

Pamela is a long flirty piece. It has a duo purpose, to adorn either your neck or your wrist. Let it sit in a loop around your neck or wind it round your wrist three times accented by the silver toned tassle.

Made of faux purplish pearls and complementary freshwater pearls inbetween. Closed with a silver toggle clasp.

Enquire for more pictures if interested.

Sunshine $27

Karin's polymer clay pieces just exude so much life... This piece uses her lovely beads paired with Swarovski crystals and gold plated hoops. Simple, sunshine-y feel... Just right to dress you up and brighten your day.

Customisations -- Xi --


A customised bracelet centred around the "xi" charm. Made with gold plated hoops and links, freshwater pearls and Czech glass, this bracelet is sure to dazzle.

Perhaps I should a mini series on these charms...!

Papier Rosetta $10

... is exactly as the name is. This pair of earrings is made of paper roses twirled around Czech glass leaves and fixed to gold plated hoops.

These roses always have a special place in my heart. I kind of swarmed our wedding invites and church bulletins with these. At that time, we bought tons of the roses... now, there are a precious few left.

Please note : as the roses are made of paper, they are not as hardy. Take special effort to keep them away from excessive moisture. I used them in spite of their "weaknesses" because the colour graduation and life-likeness is still difficult to beat in more hardy materials.

Posy Delight $26

Gold plated hoops are given life with Czech glass flowers and beads... and charmed with a kissing couple charm imported from USA.

Jessica $25

Gold plated hoops and butterfly charms are teamed with wonderful duo toned Czech glass beads and Swarovski black crystals.

Mismatched but feel free to enquire for a matching pair... I could not decide whether I preferred the pair with the crystal or not.

Fresh Blossoms $24

A feminine piece... Fresh Blossoms features a gold plated hoop adorned with Czech glass flowers and beads. A butterfly charms with its tassle down the middle to complete the look.

Light summery fun.

Jennifer $19

A earstud pair, Jennifer features delicate cloth flowers with light rhinestone accents. Enhanced with white Swarovski pearls and rhodium plated square hoops. Silver toned.

Featuring a selection of polymer clay squares by Adeline, Sunrise with its bold colours reflect the strength with which the sun's rays burst through the clouds as the sun makes its gentle climb up the horizon.

Cupid's Wings $18

A fun piece to start the work week :)

So In Love -- SOLD --

The signature piece for this particular collection is a simple one... An intricate heart locket hangs from the middle of the chain with a crystal trimmed star sitting upon it. Simple, pure... just how love should be.

Royally Made $28

Rich hues dominate this bracelet... Gold toned hoops, duo toned beads and purplish pink elongated ones are thrown together to form a piece that is so full of life.

Raspberry Swirls -- SOLD --

Don't the swirls on this pair of hearts look delicious enough to eat?

Raspberry Swirls is another delicious creation featuring handmade polymer clay hearts with inset rhinestone crystals, topped with Swarovski crystals and silver toned hoops.

Dessert topping for the ears anyone?

Snowflakes -- SOLD --

Frosty blue winter cold... yet this pair of earrings is simple enough to dazzle and great for both casual and formal wear. Made of light blue glass beads and rhodium plated charms, let them jazz up your day.

Gardenia -- SOLD --

My own take on wire wrapping which is so popular nowadays. Imagining a garland, I wired this blend of Swarovski crystals on the gold toned hoop to sit alongside a polymer clay rose. Finished with a tassle and a dainty butterfly, this piece sits nicely to bring to mind a day out in a secret garden...

Queen Pink $12

A relatively fun piece and oh so pretty in pink. With kidney earhooks, this pair of cat's eye hearts and glass beads just dangle on in sweet delight.

Heartfelt Fantasies $27

Heartfelt Fantasies focuses on polymer clay... with its centrepiece of a handmade, custom ordered heart, the blue themed necklace evokes memories of the ocean. Together with the gold toned tassle, it is at once rich and opulent.

As each polymer clay bead is handmade, expect slight variations and a unique piece with each bead.

(Also available in silver tones)

Sizzling Hot $22

A vibrant piece...! Reddish toned Swarovski crystals are matched with red dyed acrylic beads to hang on a gold plated frame. Watch as the beads sway with every movement of your head.

Somehow I am thinking salsa dancing... Hmm.

Pazzion is a "pretty in pink" pair of earrings. Featuring cloisonne beads that are teamed with Swarovski crystals and Czech glass, this pair is sweetness personified.

Ocean Blue $21 ++ reserved ++

A necklace featuring another of Karin's wonderful polymer clay creations. She is really great with the clay...!

Ocean Blue centres around a blue hued polymer clay lentil flown all the way from Germany and acrylic beads in rich blue tones (its not meant to be blackish looking!). Simple yet sophisticated. Great to dress up crisp white tops.

Customisations... :)

Red Hues $24

Couldn't help sneaking in a new piece while working on the customisations. :)

Web Links

Being sick is really no fun at all. This is the second time in about 3 weeks that I am down with flu... and I am totally not enjoying it. Just been sleeping day in and day out, trying to settle orders but having very little success with the beads. The head's just too heavy to think of new designs.

All I have managed to do is work on a new header and profile picture (pretty similar actually) for the site.

And since it is finished... it is time to share. :) Link back to this site on your blog / website /whatever, send me the link and you will be in for a little surprise. Just pay for the postage ($1.50 or $3.50, you decide), and I will send you a cute lil pair of earrings as a "thank you gift" for your support. Whilst stocks last.

Just copy and paste the codes below ;-)
It's that simple!
