BUTTERFLIES IN FLIGHT

Butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts...Artistic depictions of butterflies have been used in many cultures including Egyptian hieroglyphs 3500 years ago. Today, butterflies are widely used in various objects of art and jewelry — mounted in frame, embedded in resin, displayed in bottles, laminated in paper, and used in some mixed media artworks and furnishings...Need I say more...

SUMMER ROSES

Roses. Love them or not so keen on them...they are popular.

Roses are among the top picks when it comes to flowers. Countless of bouquets of roses have been sent to millions every year and usually, they’re the default flowers of choice especially if the bouquet is given with a romantic attachment.

Roses come in an array of colours and each color symbolizes a different meaning. Whether you plan to give your special someone a bouquet just to make her smile, make a sick friend feel better, or convey gratitude, they carry a special sentiment with their velvety petals.

So, back by (very, very) popular demand, I have made more for the ladies who just love their roses...

*note :
They are all small and petite (measuring 2cm drop) and you can choose to have them set in hooks or studs.

TRUE BLUE

Precious Stones : Lapis Lazulli & Turquoise. True colours and hues of Blue placed on earth by God - The True Artist...

Fast facts on Lapis Lazulli:
  • The name "lapis" is Persian for blue.
  • Prior to 1828, it was used as pigment for ultramarine paint.
  • The name comes from Arabic "allazward" meaning sky or blue. At one time it was valued on an equal level, in weight, with gold.

PRIVATE ORDER





















Fast facts on
Turquoise:
  • The word "turquoise" is derived from the French term "pierre turquoise" which means "stone of Turkey".
  • During the 16th century there was a misconception that the turquoise gemstones, bought from Turkish traders were actually originated in Persia.
  • With dwindling global reserves of turquoise, high-quality turquoise jewelry pieces can be viewed as an investment in an appreciating asset - much like diamonds or other valuable gems and stones.
