Live. Laugh. Love

Dance, as though no one is watching you.
Love, as though you have never been hurt before.
Sing, as though no one can hear you.
Live, as though Heaven is on earth.

Pearl-lynn $30



My favourite chain, Pearl-lynn. This is the design I have learnt from Jes.

Freshwater cultured pearls of 2 sizes, smaller round peach and larger oval cream. Eight of them hanging off a vine and one at the drops. Something special, got to wear the hooks in front.

Very versatile, with many coloured, black or white tops. I wore it to work and someone asked if I have got this from Chomel... hee.

Comes with matching bracelet, Pearl-li, too.

Serenity $20 (one pair only)







The Serenity for SH is in Brown quartz. When I told her this is called Serenity, I didn't know it shares the same meaning as her English name! How nice.... : )


Serenity here in Peridot, with 2 cream pearl drops.

"In the mist of a waterfall, bird builds nest. In the mist of trouble and chaos, God gives me Serenity." -- me.

Peach bloom $15 (sold)



Peach bloom is like a bouquet with single stalk of peach rose, green leaves and brown branches complimenting and surrounding it. I have used Peridot and Light brown quartz with a Pearl in peach. Something dainty...

Pearl-nuts $20


I really like this one! I so wanted to call it peanuts at the first sight of it's completion. Ha! It really look like peanuts. Finally I decided that Pearl-nuts will do more 'justice' to it.

I have thought showing you what's a Rondelle looks like. Pearl-nuts is Freshwater cultured pearls with different colour and lustre, one pink and one cream, and a Rondelle set in-between.

Pearl-nuts is a classic best seller!

Lantern Aventurine $24 (sold)



Lantern Aventurine - - Aventurine with Swarovski crystal: Jet, set in 925 silver french hook and wire, in a lantern design. My hubby thought it's quite 'old fashion'. Or should I said it's retro. The trend is back, isn't it?

I have used Aventurine and Rondelle (round barrel with sparkling 'diamond') to made a 2-tiers bracelet for my mum. She kept saying nice when I gave it to her. Think she couldn't 'bear' to wear it, ha... Should have taken a pics to post it in jewel box!

Bubble drops $18 (sold)



I have moved on from using Swarovski crystals to Semi-precious stones. There is such a wide variety! Really thrilled to learn more about them: different shape, size, texture and colour they come in... They bring me back to Nature! I am, but still, a Biologist...

Bubble drops you see here, putting together Faceted tear-drop in aquamarine, Freshwater pearls in black, in cream and Shadow crystal with 925 silver french hooks and wire. So cool for a hot sunny day!

Summer Fern


This is made for WF, for her birthday. I used Peach and Cream pearls with Light brown quartz.

Summer Fern was what I named it. It was like the fern plant, bright lust green in spring. When you find it in summer, it's still a beauty.

Crystal bliss $25




Stringing of Swarovski crystals: Smoky quartz, forms Crystal bliss. Crystal bliss with reflective rainbow went well with neutral cotton cord. Simply her with jeans and round-collared tee for a casual afternoon outing! Simply love it!
Crystal bliss is a all-time best seller. Great as a Christmas present too!

Misty dew $24


Misty dew was made with 20 swarovski crystals: White opal, Shadow crystal, Crystal, Blue Zircon, Light Azore and Turquoise, put together in a ring.

I gave a Misty dew to XL. She likes ring in this form, with crystals, lots of them. Ha, but it was too big for her fingers, including the thumbs. So I took it back from her and customised another design for the slender fingers of our flutist. But think Misty dew is still her favourite!

Morion elegance



This is one of my first stringing projects... Swarovski crystals: Morion and black seed beads, strung together, in elegance. Pictures taken by my artistic hubby, hee... His idea of being elegant -- Paris and colourful ribbons.

Swan


Couldn't remember when did I made this... probably some years ago. I made 2 pairs: one pair was with me and one pair was given to my best friend, B10, on her birthday.

3 Swarovski crystals: Crystal, Light Rose and Burgundy, structured in the shape of a Swan. Imagine a pair of swans, swimming in a lake, peaceful sight...
