Latte $35

Latte is a long necklace (about 28-29 inches) formed using glass and resin beads. Soothing and earthy. Perfect compliment to any outfit in earthy tones.

Powder Pink $18

This pretty pair of earrings features handmade polymer clay beads by Charlene (Tinkle Art Room). Complete with a little circlet of tiny creamy swarovski pearls and white clay rose with a sweet pink centre. A small glass brio in the same sweet pink ends of this delectable pair.

Ms Chickadee $15

My fren is born in the year of the Chicken. Hence Ms Chickadee is specially created for her. Little cute gal with brown curls wear a chicken cape and comes with a little pom-pom dress. Matching Swarovski crystals serve as arms and legs.

Again, availability of this baby depends on ability to get the clayhead. Drop me an email if you're keen!

Ms Love Pirate $15

This impish little gal that is dressed as a pirate. So cute and adorable. A bit different from the series of the previous babies since it has less of the "precious-moment" doll look but more of a cutesy look.

Themed with red and golden brown Swarovski crystals, this little baby stole my colleague's heart once she saw it. Hence, ability to recreate depends on availability to get the clayhead.

Lina $40

This is done at the request for someone who wanted something 'greenish'. It is actually a remake of an older design but this time round, I have added a pretty carved jasper flower sits on the side of this beauty. Olive Jade ovals teamed with freshwater pearls.

Have sufficient materials for 1 more remake. So do drop me a line if you are keen on this.

Swirls $24

I know that the silence has been pretty deafening.. Sigh.. but both of us really need some time to get back to the rhythm of creating all these pretty stuff and trying to manage the changes to our lifestyles... so do bear with our erratic uploading for the time being and check back often!

Ok.. a pretty and "clean" bracelet. Simple as it seems yet a striking piece. A pretty diagonal polymer clay bead created by a local artist who added some crystals to it for the extra bling factor. I added some icy pink Swarovski pearls to it and the silver chains give the whole bracelet a chic feel. The toggle used is a simple one with some wave. Again, taken at night, the picture does not do justice to the piece.. hence the shadow :(

Since I have only 2 unique pieces of these beads (slightly different in size and swirls since handcrafted), do grab them before they are gone. This piece will look extremely pretty on a fair lady. Length of chain can be customised.

Strawberry Shortcake $15

This is the 3rd baby ordered by one of my colleagues. Her nieces loved the ones she got for them last round and she's back to order more. She did not even see the completed product and just chose the strawberry head. It looks a bit like the apple girl... but with some holes to depict the "seeds".

Since my colleague's niece loves the colours red and black, I've used black and smoky Swarovski crystals for the legs and hands.

Again, will only recreate if there are orders. Subject to my ability to get these little cute baby heads. They are all handcrafted.. and hence, not cheap. So though I really like them, I cannot afford to buy too many... :p

Double-click for clearer pic.

Ms Mousy $15

Another cute baby... again, a handphone accessory (strap not shown). This baby wears a little mouse cape.. and has hands and legs made of red, black and opal Swarovski crystals.

Sigh.. bad photo since taken at nite.. but I really love this little baby.. coz it is so cute!!! Theming it with a black fluff so that it looks less like the real thing (btw, I do not like rodents no matter how cute :p)

Again, grabbed by my colleague even before the product is finished. Opening up for sale.. but subject to availability.
Double-click on picture for a clearer view.

La Petite $14

Hi all,

Sorry for the long radio silence. Between our day jobs and all the other bits and bobs, we haven't really had time to work on new creations... :p We do have lots of new ideas tho, just need time to execute them!

Meantime, here is a little something I did awhile back for a weekend fair. A simple butterfly charm and czech glass brio combi. Great for daily wear. You can mix and match between the 3D butterfly charm or the 'flatter' pewter butterfly with either the red or black brios.

Bag Charm (code: G11) $10

A charming piece with a bronze snowflake charm as the focus. Great for bags in neutral or earthy tones.

Close up of snowflake charm.

Missa $20

A totally elegant and sparkly pair of earrings. (Sorry due to bad photography skills, the shine doesn't really show but trust me, they are really sparkly in reality!)

Made entirely from Swarovski components. Square donuts in light silver, topped off with bicone crystals ranging in shades of clear to greys to blacks. Drop of 4cm.

Versatile enough for the LBD or any party dress in ur wardrobe. :)

Rose Blush $35 (SOLD)

Another rose quartz creation for the V-day season.

Faceted rose quartz ovals form the main stone for this choker length necklace. It is accompanied by purple amethyst chips and creamy white pearls.

Great for the office and any function after hours.

Rosettes $35

My first attempt at an asymmetrical necklace :)

A rose quartz donut suspended from a 925 silver chain on one side and a chain of Swarovski pearls and rose pink cat's eye on the other. Hanging from the donut are more Swarovski bicone crystals and brios.

A beautiful piece that would be suitable for weddings or dinner functions.

All hardware in 925 silver. A drop of 5 cm from the top of the donut.

Que Sera Sera

Another picture of Que Sera Sera to show it in more details...

Apple of the Eye (SOLD but can request for customisation)

This is another cute baby... Wearing a cape shaped like an apple... Totally adorable :))

Extremely tempted to keep for myself.. but as stated earlier, it was reserved by my colleague. The picture did not show the sparkle of the Swarovski crystals used: sweet pink, peridot green and bright red.

The little flurry body is red with a few streaks of darker colour so it is pretty unique.

SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!! :ppp

Longing $18

Decided to try my hands at mismatched earrings after so long.. A cute little giraffe on one side and the other, a gold-plated flower, lead and a trail of coral, freshwater pearls and clear Swarovski crystal ending with a lovely dark red Swarovski drop.

Great for CNY and for weekends! See the way the giraffe look longingly at the flowers on the other side?? :pp A totally fun yet cute piece!

Freedom $20

This pair of earrings is made of 2 lovely gold-plated curvy frames.. I absolutely love these frames.. hanging from the earwires, they will move with the wearer.. swirling around with much grace. I had previously made another design with these frames for a friend.. and when she put it on, I just couldn't keep my eyes off the movement of them!

Hence, decided to make a pair for myself too.. Themed it with pretty garnet rounds and trailed some 14K-goldplated chains from it...

Freedom to move... Freedom of art... Freedom of speech.. Bold and daring with a touch of grace...

Que Sera Sera (SOLD but can request for customisation)

Really much apologies on the long absence.. We were both extremely busy with the festive season and a couple of bazaars..

This is a unique one-piece item that I did. I saw all these lovely cute doll heads - all handcrafted polymer clay with beautiful features depicting cute babies.. Couldn't resist buying them.. and then figuring out what to do with them. Decided to make them into hp accessories.. by adding in a little flurry ball as body with silver chains and Swarovski crystals for legs and arms.

Viola! Even before I had the time to post it up, my colleague who saw it already reserved it... and she reserved the other baby doll that I had yet to craft too!

Interested buyers can check with me on availability.. Not too sure if I can still get these lovely doll heads.. but the last I saw, they came in the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals - cute little babies wearing the different animal headgear!! Will post up the 2nd lovely doll once done.

Naming it Que Sera Sera.. as this gal looks as if she would ask her mummy what she'd be when she grows up :))

For My Bridesmaid and Flowergal

Decking out my flowergirl and bridesmaid in pink crystals and pearls, 2 of my favourite things! :)

Top: For my pretty flowergirl who is so excited about being part of the bridal procession :) Kept her bracelet girlie and suitable for a young gal with the dangling of white clay roses with pink centres at intervals. A very labour-intensive piece of work but well worth the look of pleasure on the little gal's face when she saw her pretty bracelet.

Bottom: A whole set of accessories for my bridesmaid. Kept it simple in line with her outfit, so as not to overwhelm. Missing from the pic is the bracelet, done up in much of the same style as the necklace.

For My Bridal Entourage...

My big day is coming! Instead of making wrist corsages for my bridal assistants, I decided to make bracelets for them so that they can still keep it and wear them after the wedding :)

Triple stranded bracelet with cream rose pearls, facet czech glass beads in lt pink (sorry the colour din quite turn out) and a pretty chain with clover links. Finished off with a heart shaped pewter charm and a toggle closure. I hope that my bridal assistants will like it!

Bag Charm (code: G10) $10

For now, here's a little something that I did some time back but have yet to post. A bright and cheery piece to get you started for the new year!

Jubilee $29 (1 pc only)

I had a hard time deciding what to do with this very pretty pendant.. bursting with vibrant colours, comes with 4 crystals inlaid in a curve and a little butterfly sits at a corner.

Finally decided to theme it with something that will contrast the vibrancy of the pendant and display it to the fullest. Smoky quartz chips and 2 clear quartz carved flowers flank the pendant and the chain ends with a dragonfly toggle.

Just the item to jazz up plain clothes.

Danellea $35 (1 pc only)

Another vintage piece. This one shows a decorated cameo of a sweet demure lady holding her hands in a clasp. There are 2 pretty brass roses wired on the side of the pendant. A floral charm and a pretty little crystal (again, bought from Japan) dangle from the pendant.

This necklace is slightly long - one side of the chain comes with onyx beads and elongated gold beads with rutted lines on them. The other side is made up of a unique chain with various links to create an interesting effect.

A totally unique and pretty piece :)

Audrey (SOLD)

This is a totally beautiful piece. I wanted so much to keep it for myself. However, I decided to release it at the SMU bazaar though. Great that it went to a very nice lady - sister of a fellow vendor, Agnes. Agnes' stall was right beside mine.. and she really has some amazing stuff.. selling those little clip-on accessories for clogs and those cute watches with holey straps. Think it's a fairly new concept in Singapore.. hence, not much penetration for her products yet. Nevertheless, Agnes, do persevere! Btw, your 2 baby boys are totally adorable! :)

This vintage piece has a picture of Audrey Hepburn on a floral pendant has a focal. A brass rose and beautiful glass brio (hand carried from Japan) dangle from the pendant. The chain is made of 2 different types of chains to give it some variety. The hook used is actually a floral S-hook.

Since we're talking abt the hook, I must confess that there is some manufacturer defect with it. Nothing irks me more than buying something back and realising that it is defective. This pretty but useless hook will actually break if you bend too hard. I really must apologise for this. I absolutely have no idea this hook is such a filmsy one. Pls be assured that we try our best to ensure that our creations will not break easily with normal wear. However, I guess at times, we are unable to help it if it's a manufacturer defect. The only saving grace is that I've only sold 1 or 2 pcs of creations with this ridiculous hook. Hence, for the 2 ladies who bought the necklaces with this hook, kindly let me know if you had encountered this issue. I'll replace it for free. Much apologies on this.

Late Night Shopping at SMU ( 7 - 9 Dec 07)

For those who are keen on doing some X'mas shopping and also to reward yourself with some gifts after a whole long year of continuous work or studying, pop down to this bazaar this weekend! SMU is organising a 3-day bazaar from 7 - 9 Dec, 11am to 11pm. There will be close to 200 stalls there featuring all sorts of products. Do pop by and take a look... skip all the crazy long queues in the shopping malls this festive season and go somewhere fun! :)

We'll be there all 3 days. SMU is just a 5-min walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT. Our stall is located at School of Economics and Social Sciences Level 1. Our stall is near the aisle, opposite Mr Bean. Do come take a look! Attached above is a map showing you how to get there..

Hearts of Lace $18

Pretty heart shaped frames that looked like they have been edged with lace. Dangling from the frame are freshwater pearls and a minty green glass brios, giving it a refreshing appeal.

Charlotte $24

This pair of earrings is a bit pricey compared to the rest.. mainly because of all the materials used. Lovely tensha beads with vibrant pics of vivid roses, 14K plated rings. 14K gold-plated ladybirds are added for a hint of playfulness. Moonstone opal strips and a dark blue crystal drops all the way from Japan.

All the goodness, and hence, the price.

Pretty yet fun pair of earrings.. stands out yet not over-powering..

Sherry $18

A rather simple pair of earrings: Swarovski blings right on top and 2 sweet pretty cherry quartz carved flowers at the bottom. Hanging from kidney wires to provide a bit of length and swaying effect.

Looks simple but has a rather charming effect when worn.

Charlene $20

Smooth lavender amethyst rectangles , peach freshwater pearls, white seed pearls, Swarovski crystals... and of coz, 2 beautiful mulit-faceted pink brios hand-carried back from Japan. This pair of earrings is all about simplicity and elegance... The brios really enhance the beauty of the earrings when they reflect light.. with the clear cool sweet pink...

Bag Charm (Code: H09) $10

"Hearts & Spheres" -- This bag charm carries with it a "glam" factor.. Imagine matt gold hearts, copper and bronze beads with a pearly sheen and some gold and silver "metallic" textured beads...all hanging from 4 separate chains that meld together to form a nice cluster...

Goes really well with beige, white or black bags..

Bag Charm (Code: H08) $10

A pretty pink flower right at the top. Add in some pretty acrylic beads that are flat rounds or spheres... Throw in a couple of faux pearls and viola! A pretty creation to jazz up that bag.. This bag charm really lends some cheer and adds a fun factor to an otherwise plain or "boring" bag...

Wine Glass Charms II ($18 for set of 6; $24 for set of 10)

Another version of wine glass charms. Instead of using transparent colourful acrylic beads, this version comes with solid coloured beads with a pearly sheen.. to create a classic look... and of coz, a more christmassy look.. :)

From the top left:

1) Knot design (sorry..not sure what is this type of knot called);

2) Heart with the words "made with love";

3) Floral frame;

4) Another version of butterfly;

5) Heart-shaped lock;

6) Small snowflake;

7) Round "sun face" medallion;

8) Floral medal with swirl in the middle;

9) Heart with designs around it

8) Holly leaf

There are other charms that I've.. inclusive of Xmas boot, fish bone, cap, another version of snowflake, etc. However, not posted as too many. As with previous wine glass charms posted up, will ensure there's a fair mix. However, the choice to be made is actually the beads: pls state preference of Transparent acrylic beads or Pearly opaque beads.

Wine Glass Charms ($18 for set of 6, $24 for set of 10)

The season of giving is here once again.. Most of the stuff on our website has been catered for ladies thus far... now there's something that's unisex too -- Wine Glass Charms!!

Been to quite a no. of parties.. and the sad thing is, with so many guests, the glasses do get mixed up after awhile. What better gift for him (& of coz for her too) if he likes to entertain or appreciate wines?

Rodium hoops to ensure that they are more lasting and do not rust that easily, multi-faceted colourful acrylic beads and of coz, a different charm on each to ensure individuality.

The acrylic beads look really pretty when light falls on them (or through them)!

The charms from the top left down:

1) Cat, 2) Lady's hat, 3) Holly, 4) Strawberry, 5) Bicycle, 6) Heart, 7) Sandal, 8) Butterfly, 9) Pacifier. (Click on the pic to see details of charms.)

I do have some more charms and acrylic beads of different colours.. However, I'm unable to post all up.. So this is just a sample.. for each set ordered, I'll ensure that the charms are all different with various matching colour combinations. Some charms will be unisex, masculine or feminine to cater to all the guests! :))

Renee $22

This pair of earrings speaks volume.. Detailed, intricate turquoise resin flowers form the focal point with 2 Swarovski pearl cores. 2 metal floral frames form the body and it ends with a pair of lovely turquoise blue Czech glass brios.

Measuring 7cm from the leverback earhooks, this pair is definitely a head-turner.

Regal NOW $12.80 (Was $18)

A truly unique piece since I "created" a metal frame by joining 2 metal filigees together - a beautiful flora one on top and a 3-hole one as the lower piece. Peachy freshwater pearls and a pair of gorgeous multi-faceted maroon glass brios with swirls dangle from the 2 frames.

Feminine-looking yet radiating a sense of 'royalty'.. this pair measures 6.5cm from the ear wires.

Bag Charm (code: G07) $10

A "butterfly princess" creation. I really love these pewter butterfly charms (that why u see me using them so often!). And what other colour suit a princess better than pink. So beads and "bell flowers" in shades of pink complete this pretty bag charm that is fit for a princess!

Bag Charm (Code: G06) $12 (SOLD)

A "roses and butterflies" combination. This bag charm is anchored by a heart shaped tensha bead and ends with a trail of butterflies. Looks great against a black bag.

Peaches and Cream $16

This is kinda of a 'back to basics' creation. Swarovski pearl in light cream rose dangles at the end of a chain and topped off with peachy pink round coral beads. 3.5cm drop from the earwires.

Simple and yet elegant. This is definitely a keeper. I think I will add a pair to my own personal collection :)

Ballerina Necklace (customised)

After seeing the bracelet Ballerina, a client asked me to customise this necklace as a gift for her friend who dances. Other than using the same ballerina charm and shoe, I've also added in an extra dangling crystal. Hence, you see 1 red and 1 black crystals swaying at the bottom. I've also added 2 floral beads to connect it to a different brass chain. I've also changed the original toggle used in the bracelet to a pretty flora S-hook.

One of my colleagues saw the end product. She immediately ordered 2 more pcs - 1 for her niece who dances ballet and 1 for either herself or a gift to another friend.

Bag Charm (Code: H05) $10

A "lock & key" combination. A heart shaped lock dangles right at the top of the bag charm. Coupled with gold keys, faux pearls, "bling" beads and a black drop at the bottom, this charm has a "detailed" look. This picture is taken flat.. hence the effect of the charms and pearls falling nicely is not shown.

Approx length of 5-6 inches.

Bag Charm (Code: H04) $10

A "butterfly & lace" combination. A ring made of faux pearls with a butterfly dangling from it. 3 strands of acrylic beads and bellflowers dangle from the keychain to create a cascading effect. Again, a nice fat drop is right at the bottom to create the additional bling effect.

About 6 inches, this bag charm is great with bags in white, beige, different shades of blue and yellow.

Bag Charm (Code:H03) $10

Doesn't this remind you of strawberries and cream?

This bag charm is made of a yummy golden strawberry, faux pearls in peach, yellow, white and gold colours and a mega transparent flat brio. Approximately 5 inches in length, it will definitely jazz up the look of any white, red or black bags!

Honey Drops ("S" Edition)

This is the 925 silver version of Honey
Drops. There are 3 reasons why I called this the "S" Edition:

1) The lady who commissioned it is called Sally

2) It is done in 925 Silver

3) A special edition

The colours of the accompanying pearls are peach instead of bronze that were used in the original Honey Drops. Thought that it would go better with the bright silver chain and create a softer look.

China Blue $20

Coin-shaped polymer clay beads featuring blue flowers on a silvery grey base. These beads are handmade by Charlene from the Tinkle Art Room.

These beads are so pretty by themselves that I decided to keep the design simple. So I have just added Swarovski crystals in shades of blue to compliment the blue flower motifs and the bling to compliment the base colour of the bead. Kidney earwires are used for the added length and a touch of elegance.

Miss Buttons $14

Buttons! A fairly unusual material for jewellery making but it certainly ups the fun quotient ;)

A collection of buttons makes up this really petite and lightweight creation. Slightly embellished with some Swarovski crystals.

A really fun piece that is suitable for younger gals to wear.

Angels HP Accessories $8

Angel HP accessories that are made from Swarvoski components. Each piece is different and put together with much love and attention to the colour combination. They are great for keepsakes or as gifts to friends and colleagues for the upcoming festive season. :)

The pictures shown above show the colour of the angel wings that are available for order. (Pls click on the pic for a larger view.) Each angel is about 2cm in height, excluding the handphone strap that comes with it. And each angel will come with a little organza gift bag.

When ordering your angel(s), pls include the following information:

1) Colour (according to the colours listed). If you have a fav colour combination, do let us know too.
2) Choice of rose or "diamond stud"
3) Pearly or crystal face

Emelia $32 (SOLD)

A double-tiered necklace.. I've done this quite some time back and kept forgetting to post it. A lovely tensha pendant coupled with coral, black czech glass and red Swarovski crystals. A dark red Swarovski brio dangles from a silver chain to form the upper tier.

A necklace that is bold and sophisticated, yet the rose tensha pendant lends a a touch of feminity to it .

One of my colleagues saw this before I had the time to post it up.. and I've decided to "usurp" her name for it since hers is a pretty one and somehow, it seems to fit this necklace perfectly: her dressing is also one that is bold and sophisticated :))

Ballerina $22

A bronze coloured charm bracelet made up of thick and thin chains. Dangling from the thinner chain is a dancing ballerina, a b
