Went christmas shopping yesterday with hubby. Visited my all time favourite shop "Das Erzgebirge-Haus" at Ion Orchard. I bought for myself a little Guardian Angel.

Also went Kinokuniya and got myself the latest issue of Imagine FX (my most loved Digital Art magazine). Free 2010 calendar enclosed inside with the magazine!

"Fall in Love" Necklace - My Best Love!

This is my best love, among all the creations I have done so far. I am SO in love with this precious necklace.

Rose gold necklace is what I had been thinking of doing but never had the inspiration so far... till today! I am so happy with what I have accomplished. The designing was not smooth sailing, I took several hours. The photo below is the concept design before I plunged into actual work.


These are photos of the finished piece. You can tell how much I love it by looking at the many photos I have taken and posted here. =)




The necklace looks even prettier in real life! ^_^ **hearts hearts hearts** Coincidentally, I read that Jill Stuart has updated its website. The new look is so beautiful and romantic... and appears to be in perfect match with "Fall in Love"! (photo below is from JS' site)


*****************
If you are like me, in love with this necklace, and wish to have one for yourself, pls feel free to e-mail me. However, I am open to making one more only. I want to keep her unique and special.

Besides rose gold, it will look great in silver or gold too.

Personal Collection - Labradorite Love

Personal collection - Labradorite Love bracelet

Just completed this 2 days ago during my off-day. Made of moonstones, labradorites and phrenites, with filigrees and seed beads. Finally used my stock of labradorites, which have been in my supply box for more than a year!

Shop update =)

2 new items were listed on my etsy and blogshop this weekend. Please do drop by and take a look.  =)

Things I made this weekend

This weekend has been tough for me emotionally. I'm thankful for a supportive hubby - he was understanding and gave me the personal space I needed. I took the time to make some pieces for my shops and also a piece for myself.

These are for my etsy and blogshop - "Take Me Home" ear studs (measuring only about 0.4 inches wide each... aren't they cute?) and "Ribbons" earrings (I love the little ribbons!).

The one below is my personal collection. New from my workbench. I used Japanese ceramic flower (see the shades of pink and white), huge blue fiery moonstone and a little one on the top left of the pendant. I also used lovely AB crystal teardrops and raspberry colour crystal bicones. Do you see the pink quartz chips too?

Have a good week ahead. Thanks for dropping by! **hugs

New work - Pastel Moonstone Bracelet

Ordered some components directly from Japan and managed to receive them last week. I was excited to test the quality and durability of the new shower caps. Made a new bracelet "Pastel Moonstone" yesterday. I used lots of my personal favourites, including a Japanese ceramic pastel blue flower, moonstones (see the beautiful blue fire!), seed beads, opalets and crystals.

I'm not sure if I should list it or keep it for myself. This piece looks much better in person than on photos. Here are 2 of my miserable attempts to capture a little of its beauty.





Have a great week ahead! Thanks for dropping by.

Store update ... and what I just ordered from Rakuten

Store update - "I Love Ribbons" earrings

Made of lovely pastel bluish green chalcedony gemstone beads, with 16K Gold Plate over Brass Ribbon Detailed hoops and swarovski crystals. Very sweet and elegant! Now available in my etsy store and blogshop. Please do check this babe out!

===============================================

After window-shopping at Rakuten for several months, I decided to give it a try -- by ordering a bag from one of the participating shops that could ship items overseas. I bought a blue leather bag from a shop named Yamamoto. It is a really simple but functional bag. I just love the blue colour! I'm still waiting for the seller to get back to me on the shipping charges. Hopefully the entire transaction would be smooth.

Store update

"Little Gem of Love" - now available at both my blogshop and my etsy online store.

Want something petite and lovely that you can wear everyday? "Little Gem of Love" Necklace is made with this thought in mind.

Packed with lots of treasures - citrine, peridots, argonites, seed beads and a darling Japanese yellow clay flower.  ^_^

Wordless Wednesday

Touching and inspirational... and more stuff from Rakuten

You might have seen this performance by Susan Boyle from "Britain got talent". If not, here is the video and link. Very touching and inspirational. Brought tears to my eyes. My heart was warmed by her lovely voice. Amazing! Check it out!  =)

===================================

More beautiful eye candies from Rakuten Japan website. Many shops now offer international shipping. If you don't understand Japanese, fret not. The website translates the Japanese descriptions to a language of your choice. E.g. English and Korean. I'm very tempted to get these for myself.  =)

1) White gold diamond pendant

2) Diamond and Pink Sapphire Gold (Pink/White) Stackable Rings

3) Ruby Diamond Pink Gold Pendant

4) Ruby Diamond Ring

Store update

~~ * Fairy Love - Floral Filigree Necklace * ~~

Inspired by the beautiful gemstone beads and Japanese clay flowers.

I weaved lots of treasures on 3 pieces of metal filigrees - Japanese glass cabochon (this is a rare gem I found at my local bead store), Japanese clay pink flowers, crystal bicones, ruby teardrops and seed beads. I also added sparkly pink quartz, glass faceted beads and crystals for the rest of the necklace. Realised copper and gold make a perfect couple. ^_^  

~~* Berry Nice Earrings *~~

Dainty pair of gemstone earrings. They remind me of sweet juicy berries in the fields. Made of sparkly pink quartz, crystal bicones and elegant silver bead caps.

-------------------------

Check them out at my etsy store and blogshop.  Thank you!

"Miss Me" Gemstone Bangle and store update

There are a couple of new pieces I've listed at my etsy store and blogshop over the weekend. You are warmly invited to drop by and take a peek! =)

Besides "Petite" Earrings, I have also made "Miss Me" Bangle. Made of fine blue gray micro faceted quartz, cornflower quartz, swarovski crystal bicones and durable 14k gold-plated tubes.

I love the blue gray quartz and cornflower quartz gemstones used in this bangle. They sparkle and their colours are beautiful! The tubes are durable 14k gold plated so you don't have to worry that the color would fade quickly. This bangle is truly a classic piece. I'm thinking to make more in different colours. =)

There are 2 new crystal cabochons on my etsy site - raspberry oval and wine rectangle. You'll love the colours!

"Petite" Gemstone earrings

Now in store - Orangetree etsy shop

Made of pink quartz, flower crystal and gold-filled spacer. =)

And I took a pic of the new earrings with my lovely anniversary ring.
