LILLYBETH Necklace




Karin's Polymer Clay Heart here, looks very much like either a beautifully painted porcelain vase from a romantic era, or a lovely wrapping paper bouquet sleeve to hold this pretty floral arrangement of carved Shell Flowers, Garnet, Rose Garnet & Citrine Rondelles, Labradorite Brio. and a beautiful Ruby for that dash of colour.
Trailing etched chains complete this Spring-looking floral sweetie, which is snuggled prettily between similar etched chains lightly sprinkled with smooth pink Tourmalines and a blue-flash Labradorite coin.

Delicate, girly, feminine & flirty ..... that's LILLYBETH.

Trillium ROSE & Trillium JAUNE Earrings - S$42, Necklace - S$26 - SOLD



... are a pair of demure and feminine earrings, featuring a trail of Citrine & Green Onyx (in Trillium Jaune) & Rose Garnet & Green Onyx faceted rondelles (in Trillium Rose).

My husband remarked that they're quite Peranakan looking, so I photographed them with a Kebaya, and they turned out to be quite an enchanting match. I'm sorry that I had to hang the ear-rings in a odd way on the "neck", but it was the only way to give you an idea of how they'd look together with the necklace/kebaya, and an idea of the size.

I've also made a matching necklace in faceted round Grade A Green Onyx, keeping it plain so that it won't detract from the ear-rings, or overpower the look, if worn together.

TRAMONTO



Inspired by the SUNSET shared with my husband when we visited Italy last year, TRAMONTO starts off with 14K gold-filled ear-hooks, followed by a trail of sunset colours of shaded Carnelians, shaded Pink Tourmalines, teeny smooth Rhodolite Garnets, linked to the ear-hooks by pretty little swarovski connectors, in the softest yellow. A pair of lovely smooth Carnelian briolettes hang off these sunset-trails like the last drops of sun to go down that evening. 14K gold-filled throughout.

Silver Pods Necklace



Remember the Balsam plants most of us had growing in our gardens and also in School? We had so much fun poking their ripened seed pods and watching them split open explosively, scattering their cute dark seeds everywhere.

These lovely Silver Artisan Hand-Coiled "Pods", in fine 925 silver transported me back to my fun childhood days when making this necklace, and I've added deep burgundy faceted Garnet rondelles reminiscent of the seeds, and sprinklings of creamy freshwater pearls along multiple silver chains.
A sweet, under-stated piece, that closes behind with a toggle clasp.
Made this necklace way back in May, and with everything that's going on here, was lucky enough to get my little model to help me out with this pix before she SIN left for her studies.

Falling Leaves - $33 - Sold
























Like leaves blowing gently in the wind, dainty-looking Natural Brass Leaves, with almost true-to-life leafy stem and vein detailing. The nicest part of these leaves, though, is the way their tips curl upwards in such a 'natural' way. Rich coloured garnet rondelles and fresh water pearls add a pop of colour. These danglies have an approx. drop of 3 cm, including the 14K gold-filled ear-hooks. Leaves are approx. 1 cm long.
