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 Door blings are available at Graham and Green for £23.95 and Stacks of Fun earrings (Christmas Cheer & Winter Frost) at Sparkle Thots.

Glistening SunShine

Something I had done up over the weekend and quietly loaded in store.

Glistening Sunshine …

Like how the sun rays glisten on water, sparkling and twinkling as the waves move on and on, this pair of earrings as so much shine. Swarovski teardrops hang delicately from sterling silver earhooks to glam up the outfit. Fits almost everything, she is the perfect piece to dress a bride’s ears. Not stealing the thunder, she instead glistens in complement of her natural beauty.

The Blushing Bride

The Blushing Bride

As I was packing up for the day, I managed to squeeze in a final pair of earrings! And I am very pleased with it. If you haven’t already known by now, I’m easily influenced by all things wedding. To me, all the notions of romance and femininism come out to play. The lushness factor is upped and everything is beautiful.

This pair, The Blushing Bride, is a petite drop feature rhodium plated charms that are encrusted with diamante for the added sparkle. And to round it off, a tear drop pearl. Elegant and full of poise. Only two pairs available… I wonder if any would, be worn by a blushing bride on her big day!

The shop has been restocked! And this is my favourite piece. A decidedly feminine beauty, it is choc-ful of semi-precious materials. Exclusive… only ONE piece available.

Elizabeth, available now in store

Yes, I know the shop front has been looking a little quiet these days but things have changed. I’ve been sick and busy with personal stuff, not to mention packing orders and private sales. So there was a delay but its all ok now. I’ve been tinkering around with wirewrapping and a number of the new pieces feature it. Oddly enough, they are mainly necklaces but they are really gorgeous stuff.

This range is made largely with amazing semi-precious stones and have an understated luxe quality about them. Many are available only in limited quantities and are quite exclusive. Great for Christmas presents. Shop early for Christmas! Before the mad mad rush!

green with envy

Faceted Prasiolite Marquis Briolettes

Yummy! I had this for a while, maybe a month (?!) but just could not get the right photo. In the end, I gave up and set it aside. Now I broke into the stash to do up this piece.

One of a kind.

This piece features a single prasiolite drop with wire detailing handwrapped to turn it into a pendant. Total drop is approximately 2 cm long. Gold plated chain is approximately 16 inches long and closes with a lobster clasp. Faceting and reflection of light on this is really beautiful.

And now, to figure out what else to do with the rest of the loot!

This piece is NOT yet listed in store but will be shortly. Hopefully by the end of today. Meantime, if you are interested, do drop me an email.

what's up?

I quite like the front page of the shop right now. There’s a quiet mood to it, like it is waiting for something to happen. Truthfully, a number of things are going on at the backend. There have been various changes to the frontpage because new stocks get added and others are sold out.

There are a few custom orders to work on and it is keeping me from listing new items. Soon perhaps? Meantime, I have decided to make the SALE section permanent. There will be a selection on sale all the time. Surely that is music to your ears?

Lemon Tango

Lemon quartz and pearls. A duo, with a match made in heaven.

The necklaces are separate, allowing you the flexibility to layer them as is, with some other necklace in your collection or to wear singly. The choice is yours.

Lemon quartz is stranded on an approximately 16 inch long chain whilst the pearl bead is strung on a 15 inch choker length chain. Both close with lobster clasp.

Sweet Cravings

Sweet Cravings

Thanks everyone for your interest in My Baby Girl. It truly was a case of fastest fingers first. How about Sweet Cravings to satisfy your desire for earrings?

Or Swallow’s Garden? We’d see you soon! Packing orders now.

Casual Fridays :: Matchmade!

A couple of sms-es came in late last night… little bundles of joy had arrived to a couple of our friends (erhmm, two couples, two babies!) and it got me in the mood to bead. So out came this pair trio of earrings.

Something different eh? I have not done mismatched earrings for the longest time and all a sudden, out come 4 sets. Do hop on over to the Shop to see what’s new.

And here’s a bumper set of FOUR studs. Retails at SGD 35 for the full set. But if you find it one too many (is that ever possible?), contact me and I’d work out a different price based on what you want.

So, have yourself a great friday!
