CLEARANCE

A few items added this week. Sorry for not adding them faster but I have a whole lotta stuff on my plate right now. For now, I made a few spin-offs of the very popular L-O-V-E bracelet.



Royal L-O-V-E - $20


L-O-V-E III - $20

&




Pendant - $20 (only pendant is for SALE as I have no thin chains to pair this with)
This all crystal piece on a gold toned circular frame is simple yet BOLD. Cascading butterflies, a mix of crystals in assorted shapes, sizes & colour are used. Right now I have no thin chains to model it with so the above mismatch of chains versus the pendant.

CLEARANCE - Ribbons!

I started out beading loving beady pieces. In fact, I started on my accessories journey(the buying completed pieces kind) on beady pieces but progressed to liking chains & charms. I was clearing out my beads but I got sidetracked by the charms I have. I went out to get satin ribbon & made this.





This is the modified version. It has a toggle closure so no hassle in tying the ribbon. All you need to do is tie up the bow real tight.


This is how it looks worn.

The original designer of these Ribbon bracelets is Rachel Leigh or that I have seen around. Not sure if other designers made them before her?


That ribbon is a muted/dusky gold toned dual sided satin(or the ribbon seller claimed). This is a nice neutral shade on most skintones. It's about 15" on each side wrapped two times over. All you do is knot it into a ribbon when you wear it.

OK next come the fun part. You can choose a charm other than mr elephant since the trunk might look phallic to some of you(like me) & not want it so near your delicate wrists in broad daylight for all & sundry. ;) OK I am way off tangent! *smacks self*

Back to this bracelet, I have crowns, hearts etc. LMK what you are looking for. ALSO I have a rich chocolatey brown ribbon & a rich dark blue. You can choose any of that. If you want other colours(say fuchsia, green, white etc) ribbon, it would be @ an additional $2. Round up 3 friends(or strangers) & no additional charge!!! Say 3 of you want green ribbon(& subject to availability), each of you pay $10 ONLY for the bracelet. Free normal postage to all of you even if it's 3 addresses!

YES, this is going @ $10 each. Psst if you are game for a choker instead, that would be $16. I have bigger charm pieces like this. The ribbon colour thing in the above para applies.

    If you are in Singapore now, it is HOT HOT HOT!!! Great time to bake in the sun & get all bronzed up! Just don't forget Sunblock!!! If you do not like to be a bronze goddess then the heat is a little overwhelming to just step outdoors.

    Thanks to the sun, here's a FIRE-y cheery shade of red & yellow. What's special in this piece is Ade's handmade polymer clay heart piece which is a swirl of red, yellow, turquoise & bronze. Doesn't it just spell summer?






    Worn 17" & close to the neck. You don't want fuss in the heat yeah? ;) The back are 14k gold plated chains. Yes 15% off this piece since it's still GSS!

    Queen of Hearts *NOT Available*




    In 2006, I did a double strand piece that I named Queen of Hearts. Then it was an icy piece of clear beads, red heart beads & crown chains.

    This time round it is another double strand piece which are hooked together near the clasp. It was meant to be all brown & old gold but I added the HUGE fuchsia beads on thin antique gold chains so bright pink dances on the translucent white beads. The brown heart has gold-y detailing on the flower. Cute Kettle toggle clasp.


    Edited to add - I ♥ this so am keeping this! :)

    Old Skool Charm - S$58 *SOLD*



    This pic shows a clearer pic of the old cameo piece that is part of the Vintage Kid collection.


    This piece features my favourite antique gold chains that are so precious to me coz I don't have all that much of it in my collection & it is hard to hunt them down. Beads used to match the illustration on the cameo. Chains are not removable but can be removed if you prefer to get more mileage out of them by wearing one at a time or doubling with your other pieces. Shorter chain approx 26" length.
