Blushing Blue Loves ~ a dainty amazonite rose ring wrapped in silver

Interestingly enough, the last week has seen an interest in rings. Not that I’m complaining (I love rings!), just interesting to note. And since rings are custom-made for the buyer (or in some cases, special friend), they are made from scratch and not taken from a stockpile.

Entwined ~ Bound Together; delicate goldplated band for everyday occasions

They require a whole lot more work than most other pieces but so much more rewarding to see them taking shape. So here’s a couple of highlights from this week. Some new shots of ‘old’ favourites.

Swirl ~ Laced Delight; a romantic concoction of carefully twirled wires

I seriously fell in love with this all over again. It sat on my worktable for a while before I could bear to pack it away. Intricate, dainty and just beautiful to look at. Yes, I’m biased but I do think you’d agree!

Ribbons ~ Don’t Forget

I don’t think this needs any introduction. What I must say though is that the lighting that day was beautiful. And the rosy hint of the rose gold wire was picked up wonderfully. A subtle hint of rosy pink, a lovely dose of femininity.

Hearts ~ Simple and True; now in silver

** I’ve been working on other Swarovski staples too. Can’t wait to load them all in store. But first, say you’d still heart me?

Sparkle Thots Jewellery :: Blue Danube (Necklace)

This week has been a random assortment of releases. Inspired by the lilac flowers, I went in search of pretty violet/lilac/purple beads to craft up a storm. This led me to rediscover some of the neglected beads that I have got in my stash, as well as, find new ones delivered to my doorstep (eeps!). So, here’s what I’ve been up to this past week, a random mix of pearls, crystals and gold and silver.

Featured up above is the new Blue Danube necklace. A dainty, delicate drop of violet-blue, she’s a simple elegant piece to add just the hint of colour.

Sparkle Thots Jewellery :: Olive (Earrings)

Olive

Featuring Swarovski crystal cubes in a lovely shade of olive (from whence it got its name), these join Rosy (pink set in silver). More colours to be released (light amethyst, carribean blue and a smoky grey) soon.

Sparkle Thots Jewellery :: I'd Be Home Chocco Edition (Necklace)

We’ve also been blessed to have I’d Be Home featured in an Etsy Finds newsletter. The feature might have been small but no less thrilling. Thank you! We have one last piece in pink and brown. Grab it whilst stock lasts. Or both at a discounted rate. Contact me for details.

Sparkle Thots Jewellery :: (Earrings)

These are coming soon! We go together; a mini series of similar yet different pairs of earrings. For you to share with a friend or to keep all for yourself. These two feature lovely peach hued faceted Czech glass; and a fluted round with a light AB finish. All findings used are goldplated.

And lastly, a customisation. Quite forgotten I still had stock of these beautiful diamante studded earhoops. Set with pearls, they look gorgeous. All findings used are 925 silver. I just might release one for sale in the shop soon.

All in, quite a fruitful week! Now, SHOPPITY SHOP won’t you?

I think this makes a sweet Mother’s day gift… from dad to infant daughter, for mum. In a convoluted way of course. And oh, other colour selections available to suit boys / sons. I know we are talking about Mother’s day here but… you know, it really is always about the kids.

Available from Wrenwillow.

Yes, I know there’s a sudden increase in showcasing dresses. I don’t quite know when I’d actually get back to wearing ‘normal’ clothes. I do hope I’d lose the erhmm ‘baby’ fats!

This Vintage Purple Peasant Dress is from talynvintage.

We have launched a new range of items over at Sparkle Thots. This time, we are letting your shining glory take centrestage with our hairpins. We are adding items every now and then (when the dynamic duo sleep) so do check back often. Above two sets have already been listed and… just to whet your appetite, the ones below are coming soon!

debuting soon @ Sparkle ThotsHairpins!

Get a fresh pop of colour with these hairpins. Coming soon. These are quite fun really, whether their acrylic faceted jewel heads or the matt frosted ones, these add a touch of spunk to your bob minus the weight.

Coming soon, as soon as we have a breather to list them. Bear with us. Two young children are enough to keep us on our toes.

These ballet slippers adorned with delightful studs caught my eye. I have long since given up on ballet (ok, more like ballet gave up on me!) and have none of the graceful poise that said dancers have. BUT these still look so pretty that I’m just tempted to get them anyway.

Studded ballet slippers from Bona Drag.

I ‘fess. The clutch caught my eye partly because of the fabric used. I distinctly remember having a skirt with similar prints. It’d be too ‘matchy-matchy’ though to wear both the skirt and carry the clutch. But I think the clutch works rather nicely in this print. Available at Didi Lemoure.
