Annual Christmas/Holiday Sale

I have listed some of my new designs/current collection of gemstones and they are on sale at the moment. The annual Christmas/Holiday sale will be until the 13th of December. Friends and fans get an additional 5% discount just by entering this coupon code XMAS13 during checkout. I will be flying off to Bali on the 14th of December. All purchases made on the 13th will be shipped out before I leave.  I will be closing my store for about 3 weeks. I will reopen the store when I get back, most probably by the 3rd of January. :) 

Some of the necklaces are not in store yet. I will be listing them tomorrow.

Creating & making

I have literally locked myself at home for the past few days, just concentrating on making more jewelries and photographing them whenever I can get some sunlight. I love how I'm able to create something and not think too much about the cost. Previously I didn't allow myself to do that, worried that it might not sell because of the high cost. Now I just let it happen, let the ideas just flow. 

Garnet with pink mystic quartz

Rainbow moonstone necklace

Sunstone with rainbow moonstone

Rainbow moonstone earrings

Cubic zirconia cross with slate green mystic quartz necklace

I will be listing them up in my store tomorrow. There are also some that I haven't got the chance to photograph yet. I also have quite a few sterling silver pieces that was from our initial purchases. I'm still contemplating on whether I should sell them off here as it is or try to incorporate it with my designs. I love how the cubic zirconia cross with slate green mystic quartz necklace turned out so beautifully. It almost looks like a rosary. 

It's good to be back

It has been a very long time since my last post. Nevertheless I'm back and I will be making a lot more jewelries in time for Christmas. Really excited and looking forward to it. I haven't listed this pair of earrings yet. A combination of two of my favourite stones, garnet and rainbow moonstones. It is actually one of the first few things I've made and I've been hoarding them for quite a while, not sure if I wanted to sell it. lol. Because the availability of the stones changes throughout the years and like this garnet here, I don't think I've seen it anywhere else already. 

Same goes for this lovely peridot and citrine nuggets. I can't seem to get them anymore. And this happened to be the last one available. Been hoarding these stones for a while too. lol. I know I tend to do that a lot. It's time to let them all go, they deserve a good home. They are too beautiful to be kept in a box. They will be up in my Etsy store very soon. :)

Rainbow Moonies

New batch of rainbow moonstones arrived a few days back. Thought I'd share some pictures here. Hit me up for a custom order if you're interested in owning one. ;)

Bloodmilk

One of my favourite artist, Bloodmilk, just released her Sea Witch line which is absolutely mesmerizing. A brilliant collaboration between Bloodmilk and Ovate. My favourite is definitely Ariel - the conjoined seahorse spyglass necklace. Cannot wait to add that to my collection. ;)

Perfection 

The Real Deal

This has been long overdue. A very sweet reader emailed me sometime back to let me know about the real exact Caroline's ring that she bought from the Antique Jewelry Mall. They are the people who made the ring worn by Caroline in the Vampire Diaries. Here's the link to it http://www.antiquejewelrymall.com/ssr15la.html

The ring is much sturdier with the diamond drilled into the stone and slightly bigger too compared to the one on Etsy. If you're into vintage design jewelries like me, then you will love Antique Jewelry Mall. 

New Stuff

Will be posting some new items over the next few days. Here is just some of it. Please excuse the ugly pictures as it was taken indoors.

Amethyst onion with lever backs

Shell with garnet and black spinels

Rainbow Moonstones

The idea of the rainbow moonstone necklace came about when I layered my rainbow necklace (http://www.etsy.com/listing/90106055/rainbow-amethyst-peridot-citrine-garnet) with a marquise labradorite necklace. I tend to get ideas at the craziest time sometimes. lol.

This is the labradorite necklace I was talking about

Experimenting

This was the first pair I made which didn't turn out as expected because apparently I'm not good at following instructions. lol. There was a slight error which affected the stones. I will have to get back to this design again soon though.

The second pair turned out just right, with much smaller hoops of course. I used my hair vitamin bottle that I saw lying on the table. :) The design was supposed to be whacky with different coloured gems and different shapes. Unfortunately I didn't have much variety in terms of shape so most of it are rondelles. I just love the garnet nugget in the middle. Such great clarity.

Already in my Etsy store

One of a kind

Coffin Love

So lately I've been obsessing with coffins again and here are some interesting finds on Etsy. Oh and I meant rings. hehe. I definitely have the dopest GEMSTONE coffin ring. Nobody makes it better than Idle Hands Designs.

I absolutely love gemstones so Idle Hands is of course number one in my books. However there are some really cool sterling silver only coffin rings I came across on Etsy. The first one by Jewels Vine really blew me away. I'll show you why.

Yep it opens up exactly like a real coffin and all. How brilliant is that??

And skeleton as the band! Can't get any better than that. :)

The first thing that came to mind was "Omg! Creepy!" Lol. Just look at the expression. Yikees! :) But I absolutely love it. So unique and the detail on the ring looks great. Oh and I forgot to mention the amazing seller. It's by Wicked Metalz.

Besides this wonderfully unique and creepy ring, they have other equally amazing rings as well so do check them out. My other favourites are the wolf ring (Lobo The Mad Wolf), dragon ring (Ancalagon The Black), wings with a tire ring (Wings Of Freedom) and Grim Reaper ring. They have quite a lot of cool skull pieces as well. Oh and did I mention their rings are reasonably priced as well? ;)
