Pearl and Chain Bracelet, Petrona


This pearl and chain bracelet is a classic melding of beads and chain in silver and gunmetal with petrol colored swarovski crystal pearls. I finished with a round textured toggle clasp and a gothic heart charm.

Teal Bracelet, Serenity




This teal bracelet was made with apatite; the color of light green/teal which was so light and fresh that I wanted simplicity to reflect the serenity of the crystal.  Finished with silver beads, a flower shaped toggle, a butterfly and leaf charm and Voila!!!

White Crystal Bracelet, Not All White


You could wear this white crystal bracelet with a plain silver chain bracelet, or a black beaded bracelet or stacked it up.

Peony Bookmarks, Brass Bookmark, Unique Bookmarks - SOLD


I bought these brass bookmarks, which are topped with a large peony in bloom and has small peonies 
and trailing leaves engraved on it.

These peony bookmarks are inspired by the headpiece and hairpin ornaments 
worn by the Chinese court ladies.






Just like the hair ornaments that would swings with steps, these unique bookmarks will also swing gently and prettily over the outside of the books.

Only for You


I would like to say thank you for the Heart Pendant tutorial from
 Deborah Roberti of Around The Beading Table.  

I just added two strands of brass chain  to the heart pendant to finish the necklace.

Blue Flower Bracelet, Maya



I am so glad to know that floral jewelry is the season's latest fashion trend.  I love flowers, all flowers in any colors and shape.....so this is an added motivation for me to use flowers in many of my jewelry pieces.

I bought the czech blue glass beads with luster round cut from  Katerina of MayaHoney.  The blue is just amazing, right? It pairs so beautiful with brass findings and I am totally happy that the bracelet has this vintage, elegant and feminine look to it.  I added the cat lady charm to inject a little fun to the  blue flower bracelet.

Blue and White Glass Bracelet, Isla


A very simple blue and white glass bracelet and yet I am totally pleased with it. 

My sister bought these blue and white striped beads from Australia and when I saw the glass beads the first time, I will be honest to say that it was not likey-like at first sight.  It took some sitting and staring and cursing before an inspiration came to me..... Hallelujah!!!!

The blue and white glass beads reminded me of the color of the sailor's uniform and I didnt want to go for the blue and white theme too much.  So I added the brilliant pink and green seed bead  and look how amazing it makes the blue and white bead's color pop.  The copper color of the lock and key charms and toggle clasp completes the glass bracelet so well.

Red Flower Bracelet, Camellia



".....a field ablaze with poppies....."  

That was the inspiration for this flower bracelet while reading an article. 

I arranged vibrant red acrylic flowers in a circle using Toho frosted oxblood seed beads, interspersed  with Preciosa® Czech pressed glass emerald green leaves, Swarovski  metallic brown bicones and accented with gold-plated finishes. 
For a dash of drama, a dangle of gold-plated bell wrapped onto a red flower was added.

This red flower bracelet is perfect for adding some color to your wardrobe.  
It is lightweight and easy to wear too.

I have always love flowers for its beauty, the color, its multitude of shapes and the wonderful fragrance that can evoke so many sweet memories and joy.  Having flowers around me always makes me happy.  So  wearing and making flower jewelry has always been one of my favorite. 

Silver Tube Wrap Bracelet, Silverlight


This is a silver tube wrap bracelet that can be coiled twice around your wrist.  It can be worn stacked with other bracelets or as it is for any look you desire.

To me, the main appeal of a wrap bracelet is that it looks like I am wearing mutiple bracelets.  Add with an array of other bracelets and it is another fashion style.  So effectively, I am getting more than my money's worth.

Swarovski Crystal Bracelet, Georgia

A little razzle and dazzle for this beautiful sparkling bracelet.

Vintage Inspired Beaded Earrings, Elena



A fresh take on the vintage inspired look.
The deep red garnet colored czech fire polished beads really pairs beautifully with the brass beads.


Practice makes perfect or does it not????

These are the first few rings that I have just learnt to make.  






As you can see, I still do need lots of practice to make polished-looking rings.  

Blue Flower Pendant Necklace, Blue Ivy


This blue flower pendant necklace or "Blue Ivy" as I named it, 
was made to complement the bracelet , Ice Princess.


On a seed bead chain of almost similar color, the flower pendant has a gorgeously iridescent effect.  I can also interchange with a silver chain and have this pendant necklace shining away with my everyday outfit.




Orange and Black Seed Bead Bracelet, Maeridia



A row of diamond panes from bugle and seed beads for this simple and delightful beaded bracelet.  


You would be surprised to know that the color palette was inspired by the color of fire.... 

orange - to represent the passion of fire
white - when fire is at its hottest
gray - ashes from the aftermath of a fire
black - the aftermath of fire

It totally is a misrepresentation of a blazing fire energy....but I love how the bracelet turned out.  A bold daring palette but the result is clean lines and simple details.

This orange and black seed bead bracelet is now listed at my Etsy shop.

Blue Swarovski Flower Bracelet, Aquamarine Crystal Bracelet, Ice Princess


Recently, I found this beading pattern and decided to make this beautiful flower design into a flower bracelet.  I linked the flowers together to make this dazzling blue Swarovski bracelet, which I secured with a round silver plated toggle.  Since it was a flower bracelet, I dangled two different shape leaf charms at the end of the bracelet.  

The cool and icy aquamarine Swarovski crystals makes the crystal bracelet looks elegant and delicate, doesnt it? 

 Blue is the universal favorite color for both men and women, dont you agree?  The color blue embodies the uplifting spirit of a sunny sky or soothing ocean, perhaps explaining why so many of us choose blue for a calming, for beauty, tranquility and peace.

By the by, aquamarine is the birthstone for March.
