Prague SOLD


This is a simple yet elegant long necklace made out of special Czech beads which I bought in Prague this summer. The beads are purple, but part of them are silver, so the necklace is always glittering when worn and drawing attention!
They can be worn long, or as a shorter doubled up necklace and also wound round the wrist to make a multi bracelet.

Cocktail S$21.90/ 10 pounds/ 12.60 Euros/ USD22.90


The earrings are 6.5 cm in length. A matching necklace and bracelet will be uploaded onto this site soon- hopefully taken with better lighting! :P

Sea, sun and waves S$36.90/ 17 pounds/ 21.25 Euros/ US$38.60


'Sand, sand and waves' is a bracelet about 13.5cm in length. A toggle clasp is used to enable the wearer to put on the bracelet without any help- I've tried it, so rest assured! If a klutz like me can do it, I'm sure everyone else can too! :)
Again another one-of-a-kind as I no longer have those big Czech blue beads!

Delica S$70/32 Pounds/ 40 Euros/ US$73


This picture really does not do the piece justive. The Swarovski crystals look so delicate next to the mother of pearl and they really shimmer in the light. There are also little freshwater pearls interspersed between the mother-of-pearl beads which are very luminous and well, pearly! :)

Lumiere SOLD

'Lumiere' is crafted using a shell/ mother-of-pearl (I know that the flower is made of either one or the other of these semi-precious stones, but am not very sure which one it is. To avoid any misrepresentation, I am putting both down!) flower in the centre. It is suspended using 2 strings of freshwater pearls on one side, and a chain of pink Swarovski crystals on the other.

Garden of Serenity SOLD


The above piece is made using a jade flower, Swarovski crystals and Japanese seed beads (behind the flower and so not visible when this choker is worn. Alternatively it can be used as a belt.) Jade is a precious stone which is supposed to bring calm and serenity to the wearer- hence the name 'Garden of Serenity'! :)

Convenience in Pink S$29.90/ 13.80 Pounds/ 17.25 Euros/ US$31


This piece is what I would call one of my 'perenniel' pieces. It is a highly popular piece and I have made several of it, all varying slightly in the arrangement and number of each type of bead. The majority of the beads are Japanese seed beads which are used to accentuate the miracle beads and Swarovski crystals interspersed throughout.

It is called 'Convenience in Pink' as it is extremely easy to put on. The wire is a 'memory wire' and always retains in shape! So to put it on, you just 'wind' it around your wrist. It's great for people who love accessorising but get up late so always find themselves leaving the house without anything (any jewellery that is!) on. :)
Also available in other colours.

Swirls of blue S$50/ 23 Pounds/ 28.75 Euros/ US$ 52.30

Hello again everybody! I am feeling rather pleased as I managed to use Adobe to scale down the size of pictures today!! :)

I uploaded this picture in a slightly larger size than normal so that you all can get a better look at its intricate details. The main part of the necklace (i.e. that which goes around your neck!) is hand crafted out of stainless steel, Japanese beads and Swarovski crystal. The bit that dangles down, unfortunately, is not made of stainless steel. It also consists of Japanese bugle beads (the long glimmering ones) and Swarovski crystals.

This piece is again one-of-a-kind as I will not be making this design again.

Flights of fancy S$50/ 23 Pounds/ 28.75 Euros/ US$53


Yet again another one-of-a-kind! This is truly a unique piece, and no replicas will be made. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to, as the centrepiece is a button which I purchased in England! It is complemented by Swarovski crystals in green and purple. The chain is of an extraordinarily long length- about 70 cm in all, and can be doubled up to use as a necklace/choker or worn as a belt!

Turquoise necklace SOLD

This is another one-of-a-kind piece. I used silver-plated wire and brown beads which came all the way from Scotland to make the centrepiece. Unfortunately I am not very certain what the brown beads are made of! They are most probably acrylic, but no guarantees. Turquoise beads are used to string everything together.


Sunset in Scotland - SOLD!


This piece was created using stainless steel (i.e. will never tarnish! A godsend in a country like Singapore where the weather is so humid!! :) ) and glass beads. The little blue ones are Japanese seed beads and the centre bead and blue accent beads are Czech. I actually bought the blue accent beads when I was on holiday in California! :)


The piece can be wrapped around your neck and worn as a choker or around your wrist as a bracelet- very versatile! :) It is a one-of-a-kind piece as although I may produce similar pieces in future, none will be exactly the same as the wire is wrapped by hand.


A good start to the year

Ola chicas (and any gentlemen who visit my site! :) )2006 is over and 2007 is here- thankfully, I've started it on the right foot, by finally doing some of the things I've always wanted to do! :) On New Yr's Day itself, I had my first driving lesson. All in all, it wasn't too bad, I only stalled like 15 times! :P

More importantly, I have actually set out to create a website to display my beaded creations! I've been saying that I would do this since I was 17 ( no I'm not going to tell u how many yrs ago tt was! :P) so it's high time!

I've not yet figured out how to reduce the size of my images to upload onto the blog, but once I do, I will definitely get down to it straight away! I hope you like what you see! :)

Ciao bellas!
