'Smoke on the Water' Set

With the luxury of time on my hands, thanks to a 'bum foot', its been great catching up on reading, listening to music, sleep, and the not so fun, but necessary pile of filing.

Listening to Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" inspired these earrings and the matching bracelet which is 'almost done', using Hexagonal Smokey Quartz with Apatite, Brazilian Onyx, Blue-flash Moonstone & Labradorite Rondelles, accented with Balinese 925 Daisy wheels, pins & ear-hooks.

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 !!!

ALAMANDA - S$49 (Sold)

These are Balinese "harmony bells" which my husband and I got from Bali on a holiday there not too long ago. I've have requests to make them into earrings, so here they are. This pair features a floral design (looking very much like the Alamanda, which is so lush all over Bali).

Three reddish brown Moroccan agate beads top each silver floral "globe" (about 1/2 in. dia.), which would fit snugly under your ear-lobes at a drop of 1-1/4 in. from top of ear-hook. The sound from the chimes is really very subtle, and is practically unnoticeable.

All accents are 925 silver.

If you remember, sometime back, I put up two other designs (paisley and the intricate filigreed vermeil ones on silver key-rings). This floral design has not been featured yet.
