STAR -- SOLD --

I was watching the television while doing this piece. The programme on was some selection round for those interested in Jean Yip's slimming campaign -- beauty makeover session.

The ladies told their stories, cried some tears and well, obviously wanted to become a thinner person. I felt that everyone has their own inner beauty that is waiting to be unleashed. And it is not a matter of size.

STAR is a simple, uncomplicated bracelet that is made up of both faux and freshwater pearls, Czech glass beads and a solitary star paired with a butterfly.

It will match well with pastel tops.

Eden -- gifted --

A whimsical piece... I have had this piece of smoky quartz in the bead box for a long time and have dreamed up many different ideas. But never this. :P Yet today as I looked at it, I felt that it should be the backdrop of the centrepiece. Twirling silver wires around the piece, I added clay roses, czech glass leaves and plastic pearls.

It sits daintily on a peach coloured organza ribbon which is tied round the neck to desired length (choker or otherwise). It is time to stop and smell the roses!

Classic Pearls $14

Pearls never really go out of fashion. They make a quiet statement of elegance that can be carried throughout all ages.

Made of plastic pearls and intricate metal balls.

i *heart* you

A bracelet that sits serenely on your wrist and brings out whimsical thoughts of romance. This bracelet is made of crackled czech glass, faux pearls and a cloisonne heart. Let the heart dangle from the centre... and work its charm.

The picture below is simply to illustrate how it dangles. (I know it's blur!)


A Girl's Rose Garden $20


I have just returned from Shanghai and am just taken in by the chinois culture there. So when I got back, I felt that it was time to bring a lil bit of China to Bead Haven. Thankfully, there were enough cloisonne beads to fulfill this desire in the bead box.

This piece is made of silver balls, coral lookalike beads of differing sizes, new jade beads and two heart shaped cloisonne beads in a pretty peachy pink shade.

ps. for the buyer : the bracelet is a little long. I will adjust it according to the length required.
