The Dhanyas and the Sindhus. I've been inspired by two of my friends recently. I made two similar custom-made pairs of earrings for them a couple of months ago and a few days ago, started making earrings that I thought somewhat represented them.
This one is Sindhu's custom-made pair of earrings. I was doing these in a silver colour initially, but she seems to love wearing gold coloured earrings, so she put in a special request. I can make similar pairs upon request, so feel free to email me about it. You may pick any colour you'd like.  This pink and gold pair was inspired by Sindhu and she loved it to bits. She loves pink, so this pair was made using gold tone wire, with pink Swarovski crystals and pink Japanese glass beads. Again, I can make similar pairs in whichever colour you'd like. Price: S$20

Here, I've matched the heart with brass-toned fixtures and blood red fire-polished glass drops. The end result looks like a gothic chandelier. At the risk of immodesty, I'm calling this one a masterpiece. I want one like this too, Twinnie! Price: S$35 Saturday, September 27, 2008
Rush rush rush! Hello again! Had a massive amount of work the past few weeks and I'm afraid I had to abandon the jewellery-making for a while. :( Anyway, got down to some serious business today and finished a custom order and another pair of earrings I'm dying to add to my private stash. I've also decided to stop putting these up for sale on eBay. It's very very hard work, maintaining an auction. Here's what I have to offer:  This one was custom made for Rajah's wife. He wanted it to go with her blue punjabi suits. I was just a tad apprehensive about this because I haven't really worked very much with anything blue and I thought I'd have trouble finding the perfect shade for this pair. Spent half an hour examining the Swarovski aisle in my supply store before I settled on this amazingly clear shade of royal blue. I sure hope your wife likes it, Rajah!A few others have expressed interest in this pair, but I'm a little hesitant to imitate this exactly because if I do, the custom design will cease to be unique. However, I'm sure I can make a few alterations and give you something very similar to this one. :) Royal blue Swarovski crystals, baby blue Japanese glass beads and gold-tone metal. Price: S$30  This chandelier piece was inspired by the blue and gold version and I'm madly in love with it. I mean it, this is by far, the most beautiful pair I have ever made and I'm very proud of it. I'm making another exactly like this for myself because it's just too lovely to let go. I love how gypsy-like it looks!Swarovski crystals in Hyacinth, matte red Japanese glass beads and rhodium fixtures. Price: S$30   These 2 little things were inspired by dragonflies. I think it's easy to see the resemblance. I used rhodium wire to create the centrepiece and the beads are made of Japanese glass.Available in sweet baby pink and fiery red. Price: S$4.99  This one here was made with a semiprecious gemstone called Peridot. Peridot's known for it's lovely deep olive shade of green and it's one of my favourite gemstones. Five little Peridot nuggets dangling from brass-coloured chains. They're awfully pretty. Price: S$12.99 Thursday, September 4, 2008
The orders are pouring in! Thanks for the interest, everyone! I've had a few emails requesting custom orders and I'm just about to get started on them. Shouldn't take too long, so hang in there! I've finally gotten a bit of a break.  This one's one of my favourites because I love the colours. Bright red czech glass beads with Swarovski (yes, they're Swarovski. I checked!) in a clear, brilliant olive-green. It looks so bright and christmas-y. I like! Price: S$7.99 Click here for eBay listing!  I actually prefer working with semiprecious stones rather than glass and plastic beads. I have tons of pieces made using semiprecious stones, including a rather impressive garnet jewellery collection, but most of that is for personal use or have been custom-made for family and friends. I'm gonna be making more soon, so watch this space! This piece here is pretty cool. White howlite chips, with a centrepiece of bright red coral and turquoise. I love the contrasting colours. It's a very bold pair of earrings and it's bound to grab people's attention.  This is somewhat similar to the white howlite piece. Olive-green peridot chips with very sweet rose quartz. I've always had a thing for the pink and green colour combination. It's so pretty. The rose quartz in the centrepiece is very special. Unlike the rose quartz chips in the hoop, this one's a beautiful, polished rose quartz teardrop bead. Hard to come by, and I have very few of them left, so I may not be able to accept custom orders for this one. You can give it a shot though, I hope I'll be able to do it. Still working on finding more rose quartz teardrops. Price: S$15.99 Click here for eBay listing! Monday, August 18, 2008
Red, black and gold.  This is brand new, just did it today. I love the red, black and gold combination to bits. Black czech glass and red plastic bicone beads. Price: S$9.99 Click here for eBay listing! Sunday, August 17, 2008
And so it begins. After ages and ages of making jewellery for myself and giving them away to friends, I've decided to start selling them! *crowd cheers* I'll be listing them on eBay and posting them up here as well. First come first serve basis! It would be best if y'all bid for the items on eBay, makes my life just a tad easier. If you don't have an eBay account though, I'll be happy to accept orders via phonecalls and emails as well. Everything here is completely original and painstakingly handmade by me, so quantities are limited. Get em while you can. :) I've got 2 pieces for sale today, lots and lots more to come (depending on how much free time I have).  This pair's made of black glass beads, twirled around 2 separate metal hoops using tarnish-resistent craft wire, with a centrepiece of a rhodium ball topped with a lovely onyx nugget. The pair pictured here is something I made for myself, but I have an identical one up for sale. Price: S$11.99 Click here for eBay listing!   I'm so in love with this pair and I worked doubly hard on it! Green plastic bicone beads (most people try to pass them off as Swarovski, but don't believe em!), with black czech glass beads on tarnish resistent craft wire. I made the little loops on the metal hoop all by myself, so I'm pretty darn proud of it. I'm working on an identical pair with all pink beads, it's bound to look awfully sweet, so look out for it. I'll post it up as soon as it's done. Price: S$12.99 Click here for eBay listing!
