Every princess (at any age) keeps her jewellery in a 'treasure box'. I hope you find something here worthy to be a part of your little treasures...

I am tired of the rat race because I do not want to be a No.1 rat...so I'm trying out something that makes me smile.

LA PETITE

La Petite (The Petite) is the little-est earrings I've ever made and they are such sweet lil' small tiny ear candy. Literally!

SWING-A-LONG SONG

Ok, I'm in the rhymy-thymy mode...forgive my corny-ness... (I caught it from smelling too much acetone in OPI nail polishes - they have the most intriguing and unique names for their lacquer colours hence the inspiration for the names...hahaha) Btw, this 'SWING COLLECTION' design is by my Chief Construction Engineer - my Hubby (he inspects the tactile strength, construction and the way the jewellery sits when worn of every single piece - 1st class QC assured!)

BREAKING THE SILENCE

It's been a while...quite a while...work has taken me away from my lil' treasures and I've only managed to squeeze time for some private orders. But not taken the time out to photograph > post > blog them here. For the faithful, thank you for taking time to check on my blog now and then and keep me going - with demand comes supply too! Here's two recent creations:

MISS JOHANSSON* : A set of Earrings & "Y-Necklace" made with Crystal Moonlight** Swarovski (Austrian) Baroque & 42 pieces of Round Cut (from 6mm, 5mm, 4mm to 3mm in size) with Sterling Silver Findings embeded with Cubic Zircornia PRIVATE ORDER
*note : 'Miss Johansson' is commissioned by my mom for the daughter of a dear couple to her - the blushing bride will be walking down the aisle in August. Fingers crossed my creation will do justice to her beauty and enhance the lovely V-neckline of her dress...

**note : Unlike normal crystals that reflects clear, Swarovski's special Light-cut Moonlight crystal reflects light in mystical ways, offering brilliant faceting and sparkling light refraction - sparkles like diamonds!
















1978 PONY* : Rhodium Toggle Clasp on Stainless Steel Chain with Silver & Pewter Horse Charms PRIVATE ORDER
*note : '1978 Pony' took me a really long time to complete. I hunted for the charms high and low ('till Down Under - literally) and took a long, long time (since end '08) to collect enough to make a charm bracelet for a special girl born in the year of the Horse...

*note : The girl's name Arachne is of Greek mythology: a young maiden who challenged the goddess Athena to a weaving contest and was turned into a spider for offending her. (source : Wikipedia)

**note : An omega chain or omega necklace is made by assembling metallic links on a wire or woven mesh. The embedded wire provides the strength, so the links can be designed to please the eye. (source : Wikipedia)
