TAPESTRY

A very special piece for a very special friend.

Four sumptuous beautifully faceted soft yellow Lemon Topaz stones and a crystal-studded 14K Gold Vermeil Flower were the main feature of this piece when I first started on it; then all kinds of other things came to mind and I added more and more. Each and every golden element & cluster of precious stones, symbolizes something meaningful of the golden life, spirit and soul of a phenomenal girl to be encapsulated forever.

DEONE Necklace

This necklace was made for a very caring, wonderful Mother of 3 with a very big heart. She never spoils herself, always putting her kids FIRST. As she's been through A LOT in the past few months, I wanted to surprise her with a Mother's Day gift as she is so deserving of it.

I figured her as a person who would feel comfortable wearing timeless, elegant, undertated pieces, and as I wanted to incorporate something from this part of the world, I chose handmade Thai Hilltribe Silver & artisan made fancy Balinese beads to go with the lovely Onyx barrels.

It reached her safely, about a week after Mother's Day, having travelled over the oceans and thousands of miles between us, and I was ever so touched when she sent me a photo of herself wearing it, and not only that, she said that she loved onyx + silver :))))) Yeay !!!

ISABEL - Custom

Request for a Trillium ROSE Set with petite short chain, to which I've added green onyx and peridot rondelles, which meet in the middle with a single moonstone, followed by the trail of Trillium ROSE gemmies and enamelled/sterling silver Trillium flower. Closes with a Balinese Silver Toggle Clasp.
The earrings have been kept simple with matching rondelles & freshwater pearls, but without the Trillium flower charm, so that this set would be "in balance" when worn together.

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.

ALLEGRA - Custom Bracelet

What do you do when you get a request from an exuberant, sociable & very out-going young lady for a bracelet to wear to a semi-formal cocktail function with an off-shoulder LBD...

It had to be Black & Silver ONLY, along simple lines, yet classy, modern/timeless and to speak for itself ..... Precious advice from a wonderful friend and talented crafter immediately came to mind, ie. "Keep it simple, and if you'll wear it yourself, you're on the right track".

While A-AA grade beautifully faceted black Onyx rondelles (in 2 sizes), strung into 6 strands rule in this dark sparkler, smooth & "basket weave" 925 silver beads come together as a 'silvery' focal point. And, ALLEGRA was born. Its also versatile in that it can be worn with the toggle either at the front or back of the wrist.

Heart FILIGREE Pendant - $36

This filigree-patterned Balinese 925 silver, artisan-made Pendant, with semi-precious stone, is really feminine & charming; a gold-vermeil plated harmony bell sits within. The pendant has a little clasp on the side, which allows you to remove the little bell chime. You could put in a little keepsake, like something from your loved one to wear close to you, or even a little aromatherapy oil on a teeny piece of cotton.
Measures: 1" height (with the bale); 3/4" wide, and its nice and 'puffy' in height - almost 3/4".
Your FILIGREE pendant will come with a complementary black suede cord, to tie behind your neck.

Only 4 Pendants in stock: Onyx, Pearl and two Aquamarine;
Sold - Pearl & Aquamarine
Still Available - Onyx & 1 more Aquamarine

JOANNE ...

JOANNE ...

The central focal of this bracelet is a handmade black polymer sqaure pillow with a pretty rose by Karin Moendjen of Kamoe Clay, Germany. It is flanked by loads of fine cable gun metal chains on one side, and bigger link chains on the other with fresh water pearls and black onyx. Closes with an ornate clasp. This was a special request for a girl turning 21.

TRUDI - S$38 - Sold

Another angle.

TRUDI - S$38 - Sold

An elegant and chic bracelet, TRUDI is composed of 18mm black agate rounds, that are slightly puffy in the centre, very pretty smooth undulating smoky quartz nuggets, black onyx round beads and bali silver 'basket weave' design beads. Spacers here are faceted smoky quartz rondells and swarovski 'hematite' crystals. Except for the pewter toggle, other accents are 925 silver. Measures 7 inches.
With 'TRUDI', you get just the right amount of oomph from the black of the onyx and agate and the translucency of smoky quartz balances off 'the look' perfectly. Great for a function, the office, or casual chic functions.
