14k Collection

Hello! So excited to finally share these here, made with new materials in a brand new style.

A new collection to ring in the new year :) 

I have wanted to play around with gold-coloured findings for quite a while already, but I have been hesitant to sell them as most of the time, the colour tarnishes / turns darker just after a few uses. But alas, I finally found these 14k-plated, copper-based premium quality supplies. The finishing is much more refined and its shine do last longer than average fashion jewellery.

Another feature of this collection I would like to highlight is the adjustable length :)

Notice the doughnut shaped gold colour bead holding the 2 chains together?

Its position can be shifted, just pull it downwards to loop over your hand and then push it back up to tighten it.

Absolutely convenient to wear and ideal for gift-giving.

This is how it looks once worn, with asymmetrical chains dangling over the wrist. 

(If you prefer the dangly chains to be shorter, just let me know your wrist measurement and i'll adjust accordingly)

14k bracelet: Iced Over

These matte rectangle Czech beads, I have been hoarding them for a long time. Smooth to touch, and quite a rare find (or at least, I can't find these in stock any longer). 

To allow these to be the focus of this bracelet, I spaced them out with lighter crystals and finished off with a few dangly small sized opaque beads.

14k bracelet: Limonene

When I was on the lookout for new beads, the first thing that caught my eye was strawberry shaped beads.

It resembles an upside-down teardrop, but plumper and rounder, and therefore cuter? :)

In this bracelet, I placed a green one right in the middle, surrounded by butterflies, melons, cubes and even fresh water pearls. 

4 sets of flower and clear teardrops dangle in between.

14k bracelet: Sorbet

Here's a sweet one! In fact, the very first piece I made from this collection, I just feel that pink goes very very well with gold parts.

As such, other than the red star, I deliberately chose very light coloured pinks to highlight this point, and mixed it up with various bead shapes to keep it interesting.

By the way, take a look at the spacer cube bead next to the red star, it has a starburst design that makes it appear even shinier.

14k bracelet: Flutter

Dark fresh water pearls and matte butterflies spaced apart by mini matte gold cubes, an exquisite combination in my opinion :)

Also, the butterfly bead is quite unique, in that its hole is horizontal instead of the usual vertical, adding a slight bulk in the middle of the bracelet before tapering towards the sides.

Customization: Julia

Here is another set of personalized bracelets, this time it's for Christmas presents!

Julia ordered 6 of these in two different designs, grouped according to the ages of the recipients. 

First up, there 3 are made for teenagers, in cool shades of black, dark blue and turquoise blue. 

Above is the black white and grey version, 

while this below is the dark blue, sapphire with a hint of aqua.

 (I forgot to capture individual photo for the light turquoise piece, so it can only be seen in the group pictures)

•••••••

Next group of 3 bracelets were made for younger kids, aged 10 and below. 

For the young'uns, colours are considerably lighter and more cheerful.

In pastel shades, each comes with a row of 4 beads and several dangling charms, connected by a butterfly link.

The photo charms have their names printed on it too!

A cute cat (image by Julia) features on the pink and purple bracelets, while the blue has a smiley heart photo.

And here's a recap of all 6 bracelets customized by Julia.

Merry Christmas! ♥️

Customization: Zetty // Farewell bracelet gift

 Zetty's order for a friend's farewell. Bracelets in various colours as their parting gift. 

Initially, I mistakenly called this as Infinity bracelet because I didn't notice the link charm in the center was not exactly twisted into the symbol for infinity. On hindsight however, I think using this is even better, because it looks as if the heart is the lynchpin holding up the entire design, which is fitting as parting gifts. It is the heart that matters after all :)

Each piece comes with star shaped and alphabet nugget charms,

and when placed side by side, it reads as 'Just For You, Z'.

More colour choices made earlier: 

Blackpink

Named after the colours of this bracelet ;)

I really like the thick black border used in the photo charm, it's my first time designing it this way. Together with the sharp geometric lines making up the heart, it makes it appear bolder.

Perhaps that's how most of us are, in that we appear bolder than we really feel inside?

With that, I placed a padlock charm engraved with 'Open my heart', may this embolden us to always be true to ourselves ❤
