Loop Earrings & Pearl Sliding Hair Pins!!!

The weekend was spend mainly on making new items and updating online the items!

Latest items includes round loops with 3mm and 8mm White pearls dangling on the loop! A more trendy way to mix pearls together!
I notice many girls now adays like to wear big loop earrings with lots of items dangling on it! I wasn't too adventurous and didn't add too many bits and pieces to start off my first round spiral earrings! Instead just 3 pearls to bring out the trendiness and yet the elegant of pearls! Trying to kill two birds with one stones! :)
Did a similar pair of these loops with Orange and White pearls to create some contrast in colour! Personally i am not this "trendy" person and wear loop earrings but got to expand the " market range"!





The other creation i am proud of this weekend is --- new pearl collection hair sliding pins!!

First one is : 14 (3mm) white pearls knitted carefully in a zig zag pattern on to a "15 teeth" sliding pin. I had to re do this a few times in order to get the pattern perfectly and the pearls in the right place!
and i had to knot it every now and then to ensure it doesn't all unwind in one go! Item was finished and i must say. i was proud of it! it was SO pretty, very suitable for wedding or ball or formal events!
I knotted the pearls on rather than glue them on to the pin coz didn't want to ruin the pearls on the clip and once its glued its permanent fixed. Also if knotted together first the chance of falling off is much slimer!
 

To accompany the sliding hair pin, i made two "singlet" pearl hair pin, one Lavender and one White. The simply one pearl on the end of the hair pin makes its very elegant and lady like". These 'one' pearls had to be glued on to ensure it stays in place, as its just one pearl on its own!







I think starting any business is very hard but with many great friends to support and sharing their opinions with me, i think its truly a blessing! My usual style i would have given up already by now! So many thanks for all your ideas, support and sales to keep this little workshop afloat......... Really appreciate it!! ...............Thank YOU!!

Taking pics & Updating Website Day!!

Most of the day was spent updating photos and taking photos!
Website work is a lot of maintenance! making an item is easy when you have ideas and inspirations, its the "after work" that takes a long time! Work that has to be done to share the item but not always 100% enjoyable!!

But the good news is after a few hours, i managed to upload 10 new pairs of earrings online and on to the Fan club! Pretty happy with that! Hopefully more time and can upload more this weekend!

Tomorrow i want to design some smaller and shorter earrings, like studs but maybe dangling ones! An other friend suggested some people like more simple " single item" earrings, not always dangling and very trendy ones! Good suggestion too, despite i already have a few simple, shorter designs but no harm in created more designs along this idea! Thanks again to another good friend for sharing her opinions and thinkings with me!

The latest designs are up on www.belovedjewels.com but heres some to share.......




its 3.30am............. an other late late late nite!!

Pure Sterling Silver items & Flower Pearls Earrings

Yesterday was a busy day for my little workshop!

Had lots of ideas and inspirations and wanted to try them all out! Really wanted to create something beautiful that others would like too!

Firstly, instead of just always doing pearls, i created some pure 925 sterling silver earrings - such as Star earrings with silver frills- chains dangling from below the star. This was actually very nice and more trendy! Did similar items with Sterling Silver " BIG round hollow balls - engraved with hearts and stars pattern" - again with the chains dangling from the oval ball..



Next i wanted to create a flower type earring but with the pearl being the flower. This was made with a white pearl as the flower, wrapped with silver petals and then with silver chain dangling from the pearl! It was very pretty, simple design but with a bit of movement from the chains! Perfect! I again tried this similar style flower pearl but instead of using silver chains, i used a simple silver leaf to hang from the bottom of the pearl!




I tried again to think of different designs for the cross earrings, but wasnt too successful......... Tried one different design, where i use much smaller pearls to hang from the crosses - 3 diff directions, somehow i am not too sure if its that nice! need 2nd opinion!

Got too tired........... slept before midnite for a change!!



Beloved Jewels.........

Stars & Crowns & Butterfly Earrings.........

Started making star earrings dangling with white pearls. The star itself is quite big and very silver in colour, dangling with a single 8mm white freshwater pearl........ Creates a very trendy fashionable piece of jewellery..




an other item i started to make is... small silver crowns on silver chain dangling with a pearl at the bottom, more elegant and simple... Pearl colour varies from white, black and orange!

Also made these very cute sterling silver butterfly dangling earrings with 3mm white pearls. they are more petite in style and very girlie and feminine!
also made with pink pearls.......










all 925 Sterling silver earrings and items! Hooks are sterling silver and suitable for sensitive ears!

New "Cross" Line........

A few weeks back a sweet young girl - suggested to me i should make some acessories with cross in it and that would create more interest for her! That inspired me to venture in to the "cross" world.
In addition, there are my christians and catholics in HK, so its not such a bad idea at all! So thank you to my dear friend! Very good idea indeed!

At the weekend, i ventured out to buy some sterling silver cross materials...... theres many different types, some more holy than others... in the end, i picked a more trendy cross where i think non religious people will wear too! its a silver cross but more roundly curved and has a slit in the opening of the cross.

But the tricky thing with crosses, its very hard to add additional accessories to it, with out covering up the style of the cross! The only i could think of was pearls dangling from the cross or of coz on its own, just a pair of sterling silver cross earrings which then its just ordinary!

So..... my first pair of cross earrings has a White 8mm Freshwater pearl danging to the bottom of the cross. I later tried this with lavender and orange colour pearls. Result wise, isnt bad, quite trendy and not 100% religious, suitable for everyone!

But of coz my perceptions are different to others.. so got to see for yourself -

What do you think?

My first set of hair creations!

Have decided to start a blog to share my creations and ideas with you and myself!!!

"My first finished products for Hair accessories" - Dark Pink Flowers with pearls

I have made many different attempts at making hair accessories but i never finished it fully until yesterday nite! At around 12 midnight, inspirations came and I started to make flowers related items.

I feel flowers are very girlie and cute and when accompanied with pearls, it brings out the elegance and classy style of the flowers and pearls together! Flowers alone are more targeted for younger girls while the pearls bring it to a different level and brings out a more feminine side and gracefulness side suitable different ages of women!

Made my first Dark pink ceramic Rose hair clip - decorated with four 9mm and two 7mm white freshwater pearls. I have yellow, white and pink and dark deep pink flowers but i chose the deep pink one to try first. The reason for this is because the dark colour of the deep pink contrasts nicely against the white white pearls! Making the flower stand out but with the pearls highlighting in the background! Different sizes of pearls from 9mm to 7mm creates a subtle slope effect, like small steps of a stage.

Also adding to this flowers collection...

I made a smaller white flower with pink and green leaves (size of a HKD 0.50 cent coin) pin and also a Medium size Pink flower pin also!

Both i found are very girlie and cute! Quite suitable to wear on coats/jackets.
