Alia Inspired Customizations // Chapter 1

Here are 2 pieces modelled after Alia's customization, 

a popular design with many remake requests,

so much so that I have remembered every detail of the bracelet & can recreate without a single glance at the pics ;)

While the original Alia piece is vibrant with bright colours, this does a 360 change and goes monochrome!

taking the safe, classic route of blacks & whites.

Accompanied by nature themed charms (flower, birds & butterfly).

Material

Silver Night Swarovski Heart
Smoky Quartz Swarovski Bicone
Midnight Blue Faceted Round Chinese Crystal
Opal White AB Chinese Crystal Cube

For Grace.

Instead of a heart, focal piece here is the snowflake photo charm,

surrounded by crystals of turquoise & sapphire.

Baby's Breath // Crystal Ball

Crystal ball is one thing that fascinates me since I was a kid, from the happy ending fairy tales to the gypsy psychic carnivals, who wouldn't want to know what their future holds? ;)

But this post is not about fortune-telling nor do I believe in powers like that,

so let's get back to what a girl does best and get girly with this baby's breath instalment!

A popular choice for bride bouquets is this flower called baby's breath.

Dried & dyed in many colours, they are commonly weaved in hairbands too.

But put these dainty buds in a glass sphere, don't they look just like falling snowflakes in a snowglobe?

breathtaking ;)

Baby's Breath is available in 7 colours plus 3 choices of bottom capping.

7 colours:

Blue, Red, 

Beige White, Yellow, Orange,

Purple, Green

For the bottom capping, there are 3 colours available:

White Cap, Black Cap, Brass Cap

* colour is more of beige white, not pure white
with 50cm chain.
(75cm chain available upon request)

Be the belle of the ball!
