sweet dainty pearls

Pearls have gotten into most people’s minds for the wrong reason. Stereotypically thought as ‘your mother’s pearls’ they can be part of today’s fashion in the sweetest of ways.

Sweet Daisies :: The first hint of spring. A dainty daisy pearl is strung on 925 silver earhooks for a soft, delicate look. Pearl daisies are sweet and dainty with just a hint of colour. They are petite, measuring in at a 1cm drop. All findings used are 925 silver.

Newly stocked in store.

Or you might prefer Sweethearts instead. Also available in gold. See store for details.

****************

Thank you too for your warm response to Glistening Sunshine and Deep Blue Hearts. These are now SOLD OUT.

glittering new stocks

We took a short break over the last few days to rest and recover. Some silly bug was getting us down. And we are back. Not a 100% recovered but ready to take on the new week with these yummy glittering earrings!

First up, watch for our restock of Glistening Sunshine. She’s back for a limited run again so hurry and catch her before she’s gone for good this time round. But even if she didn’t steal your heart, perhaps this series of three heart-filled earrings did.

All are limited edition pairs. Grab them fast! All are available in store now.

Pardon the bad lighting. We are in monsoon season already and dark grey skies are, well, happening almost everyday!

Some eye candy

Fresh out of the oven, there are 3 pieces of these altogether. I’m really tempted to keep all 3 for myself (and to give away to good friends). Ok, I might just keep one. This will be released for sale at SGD 65. A really really beautiful piece, this works well for brides on their special day. Or any special occasion or really, when you feel like dressing up. A faceted citrine takes centrestage on the longer strand whilst a delicately carved flower takes the focus of the other. Different yet totally complementary. Note that these two necklace strands are joined. Shorter length is approximately 16 inches long.

On An Olive Branch is a different take on Somewhere In Time. A delicate leaf motif tops the olive green pearl teardrop, for a dainty elegant finish. Exclusively ONE pair only. Retails at SGD 28.

Also… for those who loved Somewhere In Time (and regretted not buying earlier), I’m pleased to announce that there are 4 2 more in stock. Retails at $26.50.

To order, just leave a comment or email me. I’d try and load them in store as soon as I can.

for your shopping pleasure

We know that sometimes, you just got to shop on a budget. Heck, everyone does. Just a matter of whether the budget is BIG or small. So we added a new feature in store. Now you can shop according to price range, below SGD 20, below SGD 30 or if the sky’s the limit, go Luxe Deluxe!

Other changes we have made in store include deleting all the old, sold out items. So no more odd errors about ‘no such product’. If you miss them, the full collection of Sparkle Thots’ jewelry is still showcased here.

Lastly for all who are waiting for new items, erhmm, time is quite tight right at the moment. Believe me, I have been trying to set aside time to bead new stock. But I guess updates will be erratic until the Christmas period rolls past us. By the way, the last day for all our international friends to get their orders in is 5th December. So hurry, surely you won’t want to be late!

(these pretties are some citrine faceted drops that I have gotten my hands on… for almost a week! but still left untouched. sigh)

Somewhere In Time

One of the first few pieces I did when I returned from my break, I somehow forgot to list it. It is a real beauty. I have selected from the mixed coloured strand a pair of light hued pearls to do up this pair of earrings. A lovely drop if I may add.

One of a kind. Now available in store.

A Hint Of Spring

A Hint of Spring

A different combination from When Autumn Leaves Fall, this one has a predominant hue of green, almost as if hinting at the first signs of spring. One piece only, she has been loaded in store.

of happy thoughts

Happiness is …

A 925 silver shuang xi’ pendant is lightly accented with a sunstone rondelle for a soft feminine touch. Strung on an 18 inch silver chain, this necklace is understated elegance for someone special. All findings used are 925 silver.

What are you celebrating today?

Limited Edition.

(Necklace)

(Funny given my craze over all things pink that I actually took so LONG to do up and all pink pair of earrings. :D)

This pair made of silver plated findings features a cluster of pink czech glass rondelles strung from round loops. Loops have a heart ‘finish’, a sweet accent to this girly pink pair. Rondelles have a translucent look that lets light through in a really beautiful way.

Things have been moving a little slowly (but steadily!) since we returned from the short holiday. We are back in the swing of things and are enjoying the breather to create. Yes, we still pack orders off for shipping and answer all the mails, but there is time to spend on the little joker. And I think he is happy for that.

When Autumn Leaves Fall has been sold, and here are two more items fresh out of the oven. I love the direction the new range has taken. Very ‘me’, very Sparkle Thots. Everything is coming together now… even the packaging. You’d see!

Leave a comment or email me if you’d like to order either of these. I’m rushing off to spend some time out before it pours again. Will load in store later, if they aren’t sold that is.

When Autumn Leaves Fall

The weather is all gloomy here today. Heavy downpours the whole morning. The leaves are taking a beating and the ‘weaker’ ones have fallen. This pair of earrings has a somewhat golden tinge, almost as if mimicking nature in the mid of autumn.

The czech glass leaves have a gold foil kind of glistening finish within and when topped by Swarovski faceted rondelles, make a perfect match. Measures approximately 2 cm in drop excluding earhooks.

One of a kind. To be loaded in store soon. Retails at SGD 22.

bling it up

Remember these? Well, I was surfing around and found these door handles being featured on Please Sir.

The resemblance made me laugh. I don’t quite know what to make out of it except that both are pretty :D Door blings are available at Graham and Green for £23.95 and Stacks of Fun earrings (Christmas Cheer & Winter Frost) at Sparkle Thots.

We say these make great Christmas presents! We can also see these as gifts for the bridal entourage. Simple, versatile, feminine, dainty and romantic. What’s there not to love?!

Silver coin pearls are topped with sunstone rondelles for just a touch of colour. Made with 925 silver findings and earhooks for a subtle yet elegant look to complete your outfit.

As earrings go, I felt this pair was elegant chic. A combination of pearls and stone for an elegant finish. They are already available in store. Grab a pair today. Makes a lovely present in my opinion. That is if you can bear to part with them.

Charms measure an approximate drop of 1.5cm each and dangle off gold plated earhooks. I hope to load them in store soon but leave a comment to reserve if you are anxious to get your hands on them.

home again!

After a week out, we are back and are adjusting to the swing of things again. We are busy clearing the mountain load of laundry, tidying things up at home, restocking the fridge and cuddling the boy. Work on orders will resume tomorrow. And hopefully, so will the launch of new items.

Thanks for being so supportive of Sparkle Thots even during this short period when we were out! And remember to stay tuned for more goodies. Really, goodies because we shopped up a storm. Watch for little luxuries that spice up your outfits. :)
