Closed!

Hi there!

Crafted By Mei is now closed.

I am currently overseas for further studies, have been planning this move for more than a year and it finally happened :)

Thanks for your support all these years, I just want to say that a sale wasn't just a sale to me, it meant a lot more. Thank you for trusting an online stranger to make your accessories, you made me believe in myself too. Thanks too for putting up with my long order processing time. Over the years, I had the most wonderful customers, thanks for your repeat purchases and some who gave me gifts in return too!

This little shop has been part of my life for so long, it was bittersweet to clean up my worktable and pack up all my materials into storage. If you would like to keep in touch, my personal Instagram is @meliameis although I doubt I will update often (I'm not very into social media haha). 

So, I guess that's all for now.... 

Thank you very very very much for everything.

God bless!

Customization: Anthony

A bracelet and earrings set customized by Anthony for his girlfriend.

She likes red but doesn't want it to be too striking in colour when it comes to her accessories.

As such, we decided to keep the red to just the focal piece- a salmon red Swarovski heart (official name: Padparadscha) and the bicone bead at the tail end.

The rest of the bracelet is made of shades of white and cream, with a touch of light amethyst here and there.

We worked on a pair of matching earrings as well, design is minimal so as not to clash with the chunkier bracelet.

Sparkly dangly crystals with the same padparadscha Swarovski hearts.

14k: Edge

 

Here's one with cool metallic shades, contrary to the sweet style I usually favour. 

The colours are uncommon too- a hint of violet and purple, a dash of blue greens, and a splash of silver.

No rounds beads are used here, only faceted ones to maximize on 'edginess'.

14k: Gatsby

Gatsby... brings to mind rich, gold, flamboyant, glitz & glam.

This piece attempts to capture all these with the rich ruby lampwork glass beads, cotton shell pearls, glass crystals in champagne and maroon, and an alabaster white oval with tiny facets.

But these alone wouldn't do, aye? Gatsby gotta be eye-catching and a little over-the-top too ;) Hence I adorned it with a dome bead connected to gold chain tassels.

Lots of details going on in a bracelet, including the gold accents in between the beads, perfect for those who like bling bling that stands out.

14k: Calm

Made with dark pearls, slate blue rivolis, thistle purples and opal whites, this group of calming hues were chosen that I hope they might bring a little peace and quietness to anxious souls.

Tucked midway is a cluster of blooming purple flowers, representing a sparkle of hope in the midst of season of uncertainty.

14k: Regal

I rarely use maroon in my pieces, and when I do, it mostly served as an accompaniment colour, subtle in the background.

This time round, I made it the focal colour, as I find it pairs very well with gold accents, in that the gold takes this unassuming colour to a new level of elegance.

Particularly, the 2 gold lantern balls help to direct the focus towards the middle, culminating with a dangling maroon heart crystal.

But don't worry, that's not to say that the sides were designed with less thought :) White pearls and opal pinks stacked together with gold hematite spacers are another feature that I love.

14k: Icicles

With the white squares mimicking ice cubes in the sea of icy blues, I reckon naming this 'Icicles' is an apt choice.

Nothing but good quality glass crystals are used in this piece, which means that the beads are sparkly at all angles. 

For those who can't get enough of blues, check out the rivoli triplets- featuring aqua, electric and light denim blues!

14k: Juiced

Juicy in yellow & green!

But I didn't want to go overly bright and loud with this (let's keep it for next time...), hence I chose mint chalcedony stones as the main beads to tone it down. 

Added chrysanthemum design bead caps for an extra dose of sunshine joy. 

Overall, a bright cheery piece that I hope makes you smile whenever you see it :)
