Pearls on Gold

Do you love pearls? Or did you always have the conception that they were accessories more befitting of your mum (granny even)? Well, I love pearls. I remember as a child, I had this long strand (it seemed long then!) of pearls that I loved. As I flip through the old photos, I see countless images of me wearing them.

Now, I am rediscovering my love for pearls. And I share my interpretation with you.

And till end of May, these will go at a special introductory price. To order, leave a comment here. Please note, all prices stated are in SGD.

Tina V

A request for something with onyx dangling off gold hoops resulted in this pair. I’m loving it! Maybe I’d keep a pair of myself.

Ssh.

Tina V is a luxurious pair, she is made of gold plated findings with a faceted round onyx dangling off a hammered gold disc. She measures in at a 1.5inch drop excluding earhooks. Perfect to complement the LBD and quite the classic that never goes out of fashion.

daisy chains

Hello! It’s Monday and I’m back. With more than I expected. I was thinking of taking a short break from crafting but I couldn’t keep away from them. So up till late last night, I was busy twisting and twirling wires at my workstation.

I must say I absolutely adore the results. Simple, elegant necklaces to adorn the necks of mothers and daughters! I do hope to list them soon. But if you cannot wait, drop me a line and tell me which you’d like. I am most likely to list them in sets.

This particular piece, Daisy Chains, features freshwater pearls in two different shapes (flowers and ‘nuggets’). Stranded on gold plated chains, they are pretty and elegant. Simple enough for everyday wear and everything else in between.

It was made in tribute to all mothers. And the children that they groom and whom they sacrifice so much. It reminds me of the ‘traditional’ daisy chains that mothers teach their children to weave. I like the idea of interaction taking place!

Hope you had a great Mother’s day with your mum and / or children.

Happy Mother's Day

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty

Bubble Gum

Oddly enough, this piece has been with me for a while. Everyone loves the colour but no one has been brave enough to take her home.

In any case, I’m looking for a wonderful owner for her. She is pretty in pink yet with a touch of jazz. Sure to liven up your mornings. I see her layered a top a white cotton blouse, sashaying to the cool weekend mood. Grab her now. Especially for Sparkle Thots’ blog readers, she is going at a 20% discount. Just quote “BLOG IT” in the comments box on check out and wait for our revised invoice.

Shipping charges still apply. In case you were wondering, 20% off means Bubble Gum retails at $36. So what are you waiting for? She comes packed in a pretty organza pouch with a handmade gift card. Only ONE piece available. Offer good till 11th May.

If she does not catch your eye, and you still have not found the perfect Mother’s Day gift, check out “A Mother’s Heart“. 15% discount applies on all items within this range!
