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 ❤

Customization: Narresh

I made bracelets for Narresh a few years ago, always chunky ones for his girlfriend. This time, he contacted me again for a new set, to be gifted to his girlfriend-turned-wife! Congratulations :) 

He requested for bright and warm colours, and I added a house charm to symbolize their new home life together. Flower charm and flower beads for a touch of nature to it.

May you be blessed with wedded bliss :)

Bluet- Modifications

The Bluet design has been very well received, so much so that I grabbed all remaining stock of the blue flower cabochon. I usually prefer variety instead of quantity, but in this case, loading up on blue flowers was the wiser choice. 

But, what if you fancy this design yet you don't want blue? Giri, Jesz and others have requested it to be made in different colours, here are the results :)

In turquoise green:

In red and purple:

In pink:

Which is your pick? All of them or none?

Beaded Bracelets - Xin Wei & Malar

Beaded bracelets are always fun to make, you can either fill up the chain with one colour in a variety of shades or embellish it with multiple shades. Let's have a look at both options-

•••

Xin Wei went with just pink, but it's definitely not dull especially when this sweet colour family is available in a multitude of shades. We have got fuchsia, plum, lilac, rose & peach all in one. Surrounded by the charms is the enameled gift box charm, also in pink, of course!

••••••••

Malar, on the other hand, wanted hers to be more varied.

She really liked the Mawar flower, but wanted it in the form of a bracelet. So, I made this with the purple & olive flower as guidance first, then filled up the rest with complementary turquoise, fern & forest green.

••••••

There really is no wrong way to do these bracelets, just go with the colour(s) of your choice. 

Have it your way :)

Lone Pine- Modifications

Fancy a rainbow set for your friends or just go sweet in pink for your bridesmaids?

Here are examples of pieces customized according to the Lone Pine design.

Customization: Jessica

Hi! I'm currently going through some old emails and finding a treasure trove of customized pieces that I have never shared here. Rather than keeping the photos to myself, I thought might as well upload them here on the off chance that some of these may give you an inspiration hit! Or if you like these as it is, just contact me at craftedbymei@gmail.com to discuss :)

Originally made for Jessica- 

striking colours of electric blue & purple for the first piece, and bright fuchsia offset by lighter rose piece in the second bracelet.
