CHERRY GRACÉA

Specially named them after both our hubby's favourite ice-cream!

ROYALE BLUE


My mom-in-law got me to 'fix' some of her earrings and I 'tore' them apart to re-create her something NEW!!! She hasn't seen them yet but I'll be presenting them to her for her birthday on the 6th. Fingers crossed she'll like them...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY : Gold Studs & Gold Ball from Mummy's Original Earrings with Cloissonné Flower Bead.













Mummy simply LOVES Turquoise. These Stabilised Turquoise Beads* just complimented the 'remains' of her former earring. If you have any 'old' stuff you'd like 'revamped' or 'updated'... send them to me!

SURPRISE MUMMY :
Stabilised Turquoise Bead* Nugget 5 - 7mm with Gold Glass Beads & Gold Ball on Gold Stud

*note : Stabilised Turquoise has been infused with a clear epoxy resin. The resin, under pressure, absorbs into the rock, which permanently hardens the rock and deepens the color. Unlike natural turquoise which deepens in color over time by gradually absorbing oils from the skin as it is worn, the colors in stabilised turquoise are permanent. (source : The Collector's Guide)
