Rainy day ~~ more little raindrops collection

Recently its been a miserable day in Hongkong! Raining and raining non stop!!
But then this goes well with my " little raindrop collection"!
Over the weekend, got more time to finish off and post up my latest addition to the little raindrop collection!

Now we have orange raindrops ( rice pearls) earrings, light pink, white and orange Raindrops earrings the longer version. All can have matching bracelets and necklaces - tailor made!







 

Also added a more petite - cute pair of orange pearls & crystals on 925 Sterling Silver Hooks! this pair is quite smart and elegant! quite lady like but also trendy. Suitable for going out in evenings or even for work!




On a slightly different note, i was very touched today as i was out crossing the street, it started to rain really really heavily ( no surprise) and being the naive me, i didnt have my umbrella with me! As i was under this bridge crossing - waiting for the lights to change and already being half wet! and this really nice " british western - old lady in her 50s" invited me to share her small umbrella with her! She walked  me to the shopping mall where its covered and where i had to go then she left! I will prob never see her again but there are nice people out there!  Such a small act of kindness but has made my day!  thank you!

Cross my heart!!

Weekend was pretty relaxing as went on a short trip!!


Sitting under the sun and palm trees in a relaxing resort! V nice! Giving me time to think and dream about new styles and designs!

Blue skies and white fluffy clouds - and a swimming pool and a cocktail! Cant ask for much more than this!!

heres a few pictures to share with you all!


 

I managed to find time to make 1-2 items! This item is a cross pendant + 925 sterling silver necklace!

The pendant is made up of 6 white coin freshwater cultured pearls! It is glued together and has a pin adjoining them, making it very secure!

I find this design - simple but elegant! Previously I made Cross earrings with dangling pearls - so heres a pendant to match! I havent had time to ask my team members to take better photos of it yet...... but heres it is to share with you guys first!!

 
Any comments are welcome!!!!

Active Blogging time!

Its been almost 3 months since i last posted in here, then today i posted 3 new posts!! Thats a record! Recently i have created many new items - that havent been uploaded to the website yet! must do that very soon!!

One of the latest items i quite like and wear alot myself is the 9-10mm huge black baroque freshwater cultured pearl necklace! Its not exactly black  - but peacock blue/black/green in colour - so sort of shiny when you wear it! The size of it makes it stunning and sort of stands out! Its not 100% round which gives it even more of the uniqueness!  I fell in love with it when i saw the strands in the shop and had to buy some to make SOMETHING nice out of them! This is the first time i have made a design using such big pearls! i have to say its very pretty - not very outdated or suited for posh old ladies only!! That was my original thought!

Heres the necklace and a pair of 925 sterling silver dangling earrings using these Black Baroque Pearls!! The pearls are knotted again every 6 pearls to ensure extra security and then closed firmly using a 925 sterling silver lobster clasp!

Very Touched!!!!

So touched and really made my day! One of my inspirational friends really loves my designs and is a great supporter! She has bought many pieces of jewellery from me and one of the items that she ADORES is the " Little Raindrops collection".


This is made of 4mm size white rice pearls shaped all stringed up together. She purchased the necklace and a pair of matching earrings to go together. It can be worn causually or formally depending on how u mix and match yr clothes! it suits her very well as she is very elegant and enjoys simple but pretty styles matched with different accessories! But infact she is actually very stylish too and creative with her styles and clothing!

Infact she loves it so mcuh she creatively took a pic of her beloved items on her own blog and shared it with us all! heres the pic of it below and if your chinese is superb... heres the link to her blog on her new items













many thanks for sharing this Ally!!! xoxoxx

how did it all begin??

I dont think i really shared deeply with many of you how i became a handmade jewellery designer!! I am sure many have asked and i properly responded with 1-2 lines only!! I decided to share it all with you - forever..... as i have left a piece on this - in my Profile but here it is also...

**********************************************************************
So how did i start making handmade jewellery?

My mum had bought many strands of white pearls from a wholesaler! We kept bringing it to jewellery shops to get it properly string and designed. The people there kept coming back with simple, plain and similar designs and was charging alot for the labour, design and clasps! After having them specially make around 3-4 plain pearl necklaces - all looking the same, i thought this is just a waste of money! so i started to look in to it myself and since when i was young I took lessons in making jewellery, i thought i give it a go!

I started to mix and match different colours pearls together, different weaving patterns and made necklaces, bracelets. After a while i thought hey mabye some earrings to match them, then i started off my earrings journey and have not turned back! after playing around with pearls, i then started to look at gemstones, crystals and pure sterling silver pieces! Of coz with out saying i jumped from making one item to an other! Now i have necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hair accessories, pendants and keyrings collections!

so this is how it all started.......... and this is where my journey and dream has began!

*****************************************************************

I never dreamt i would design my own jewellery and never dreamt of every sharing any of my handmade pieces with anyone! But now this dream has come true - and i am so happy to see you all enjoy my designs and actually wear my jewellery!

Many thanks for helping me make this dream come true! It gives me great strength to design more pieces and the inspiration to go further! Thank you!
