CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ORDERS - DUSTY PINK

This is the same design as "Bougainvilleas" (http://bintangjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/10/bougainvilleas-sgd19.html) but with different colours. I used dusty pink Czech Glass briolettes and Swarovski crystals in Topaz with AB effects. I wove all these together with seed beads and durable nylon thread. Front pad screwback clips are gold-plated.

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ORDERS - LADY


Pink. My favourite colour.

For me, Pink is the colour that best represents femininity. Like a woman whose nature can be so soft, nurturing and gentle and yet bold and dynamic, Pink's myriad shades range from light and subtle to bold fuchsia.

I wire wrapped these pretty light pink Czech glass briolettes and capped them with rose quartz rondelles. Leverbacks and wires in 925 Sterling Silver.

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ORDERS - JOY I

Over the next few days, I will be showcasing the pieces I made for Mrs Kool, who ordered so many pieces of BintangJewelry to give as Christmas Gifts.

There is great joy in using one's hands to fashion an artistic piece of work in which another sees sufficient beauty and value to offer as a gift to loved ones, more so for a special season; the Yuletide season of Joy, Peace and Giving.

Here is a pair I've named Joy, because of the bright colour scheme among other things. I've used turquoise teardrops wire-wrapped with 925 sterling silver wire and red coral rounds. All findings in 925 sterling silver.

HELLO 2011...

I would like to extend my best wishes to all my friends and supporters this New Year.

2010 has passed just like that. Swallowed in the belly of the Past. Besides memories good and bad, it has left me in wonder: Where has it gone? Where am I now? And where will I go from here?

2010 for me was a year of many uncertainties. Seemingly good things turned bad and many times, I felt lost and confused.

But as the saying goes, "This too shall pass..." and with passage of time comes opportunities: for Renewal and Hope.

And I find my Constant Companion, in the form of Love and Faith, taking me by the hand through the portals of 2011.

Have a fantastic year ahead.

BIRTHDAY PARTY GIFTS - PEARLIES

I have been so busy making jewellery these last few months (thanks to my dear friend Rebecca Kool) that I simply have had no time to update my blog. I figured that I should get busy updating my Blog with LAST YEAR's work before I progress further into THIS NEW YEAR!

So here are 2 pictures of Swarovski Glass Pearl earrings in a range of pretty colours : Cream, Powder Rose, Powder Almond, Peach, Light Blue, Light Green, Copper, Burgundy, Light and Dark Grey, Gold and Mystic Black. I made these Pearlies for Nadya as it was her thoughtful gesture to give her gal-pals party gifts on her birthday (which was 2 months ago....Sigh...). I used gold plated french ear hooks and clip ons as some of Nadya's friends do not have pierced ears.
