Ok, so the posts haven’t been as regular as before. But we have been working behind the scenes on new pieces. Which, I guess is nicer. I mean, eye-candy galore.
I’ve a soft spot for the ultra bling-ed Fleur. It is really all sparkly in real life. A very versatile piece, I’d have worn it for my wedding in a heartbeat. Plus, it can be worn out on other occasions. Worth the cost per wear!

Ain’t it sweet?
I tried googling (yes, Google’s a best friend) for more information but wasn’t successful. I love the idea behind it. Simple, sweet and effective. Truly, sometimes the simplest things are the best.
The Promise Ring ~ To Have and To Hold
2 years ago, babyK was born. Today, she turns 2. She’s been quite the muse, and occasionally charming enough to model pieces whilst I finetune the designs. She used to sleep in her lil basket at my feet as I crafted in the workroom, calm and peaceful. A quiet companion to an afternoon of crafting. Today, she has moved beyond that. She talks endlessly, and resists naptime. She’s grown. 2 right now and many more years ahead.
I crafted The Promise Ring yesterday. It came out perfectly, exactly as I had envisioned. It reminded me of the Ribbons ring I had crafted when she was still a bun in the oven. It felt fitting that today, I do a special sale on this new ring.
It retails at $26.50 but just for this week or until stocks sell out, get the Promise Ring for $22 (inclusive of international shipping). Swarovski crystal handwrapped in goldfilled wires to your desired size. A delicate ring for everyday wear.
More details of the ring available at our Etsy store. Please note: special pricing is only available here on our blog. All prices cited are in SGD.
** Free normal shipping. Please contact us if you’d like to upgrade to registered mail
** Do remember to indicate your desired ring size. If unsure, leave a comment on checkout and I’d get back to you asap.

Now tell you that didn’t make you smile… Cheesy? Maybe. Charming? Extremely. Have a lovely Friday. The weekend is near!
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!
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?
Baroque Chandeliers ~ crystal clear is already in store. all others… coming soon!
If you have cake decorating skills that are like my kids’, cake bunting is probably the easiest and nicest way to personalise your cake without destroying it. A simple idea, you can either purchase the bunting or make it yourself. And to get you inspired, here are some images of real cakes.
If you’re buying, perhaps the most famous Etsy seller is Kiki La Rue. Right now though, she’s put her shop on vacay (she’s on maternity leave).

blessings ~ a house full of sunshine
I’m on a minimalistic streak right now. Preferring my pieces returning back to the basics. A simple charm, a contrast in elementary materials, a focus on the singular beauty of the stones. I’ve fallen in love with Swarovski again. I’ve restocked my box labeled Swarovski and its filled to the brim with manmade crystals. Each one sparkling as they reflect the sunlight.
In a hierarchy of supplies, Swarovski are very much preferred. They have got their craft perfected well. They may not be natural but they hold their own. They are much prettier than the china knock offs and lend a nice weight compared to the colour coated plastics. They aren’t exactly cheap. I guess it’s a matter of paying for what you get. In some cases, they may be more expensive than natural stones. Though it really depends on what they are erhmm, imitating.
Compared against their more expensive counterparts like citrine and blue topaz, Swarovski crystals give a middle ground for the budget conscious. A much appreciated market for wedding parties and gifts.
I’ve delved into my gemstones chest too. And uncovered forgotten treasures. Bits of blue, of pink. Little crystals of natural beauty, each one beautifully faceted to show off their colours. They make me think of summer weddings. Of exuberant hues and light cotton outfits. But those, they’d be showcased on another day.
