The monsoon brought the strong winds and heavy rains our way, but today we got some nice sun for a while. Good enough to enjoy the heat on the skin shortly before the chills came back again.

Watermelon Sherbet features 3mm czech fire polished pink glass beads matched with rectangle beads with gorgeous green wisps to remind you that summer is still around.

Entire necklace measures 38".

K + 79: Deuce | Reserved

A series of 3 white jade globes are divided by pyrite donuts. The pyrite donuts were a favourite of mine since i laid my hands on them almost 3-4 years ago. Everytime i took it out of the box, I never managed to find a way to use it that would have been different and to make it truly gorgeous.

Set against the white jade rounds, I think it's finally found its perfect match. Necklace measures a comfortable 18".

Deuce is part of the K + 79 series and is finished with a matte black lobster clasp for the final black accent.

Retail price: SGD 40

Aeryn - Sold

I've generally never been a huge fan of lockets coz the local supplies always didn't yield very pretty lockets, nor seem sturdy enough for long time use. But recently i managed to get my hands on a batch of heirloom lockets that were made from the same machines that made lockets 50 years ago. Yes, proper heirloom stuff made to last for decades.

I figured this locket would be a good piece of jewelry to start this decade. Aeryn features a thick brass filigree locket measuring 45mm width. I probably can't explain how good this feels in your hands, except that it's got a really good weight & sturdiness that you get when you touch good quality products. Some things just feel solidly built and give you that assurance y'know.

Currently on a 37" antique brass finished cable chain, length is customizable. For more views on this lovely, click here, here & here.

I know that the price may seem exceptionally high (and i'm not marking up much on it, not that i usually do but you get my point), but i'd assure you when this lasts you at least 10 years, you'd probably look at it differently.

Breakfast at Tiffany's - Sold

Paul Varjak's love story probably wouldn't have been as fascinating if the lady he pined after wasn't Holly Golightly. The way she reveled in the male attention, yet behave like an innocent bambi when she realised she could trust him. That probably is one of the modern fairytales that everybody loves to hate, yet hates to love. Breakfast at Tiffany's features a Love brass charm, that hangs off a 24" brass toned necklace.

Remember whoever's heart you're holding in your hands, remember to tread lightly.

Ribbon & Twine - Sold

Ribbon & Twine features a 14mm tall haematoid quartz with the lightest pink streaks against a clear quartz oval. Like pink ribbons that are wielded deftly by rhythmic gymnasts, the haematoid streaks across the clear quartz with the lightest of touches and brightens up with its delightful presence.

The black electroplated ball chain, as hardy as twine, serves to anchor the oval for a contrasting presence. Finally finishing the 23" necklace with an elegant 14k gold plated tab.

Elisabeth - Sold

Elisabeth features some really gorgeous moss agate teardrop beads.

The beaches of Prevally - Sold

Hey babes,

I'm back from the hols, it was a fantastic week spent in Perth. The weather was absolutely delightful, it being winter & all. And the view was the most amazing! Being a city girl always makes me yearn for the tall trees, the meadows, the rolling countryside and the most amazing beaches.

The trip took me from Perth, down to Margaret River, down to Walpole & Denmark and back up to Perth. Along the way we stopped at the many beautiful beaches. This mother of pearl starfish & glass briolette sums up the gorgeousness of those beaches for me. Clear blue seas, and white foamy waves that crash up against the rocky outcrops. Such is the simplicity of nature.

I hope it conjures up similar imagery for you when you wear this necklace. A place of serenity of your own.

K + 79:3 - Phoenicopterus - Sold

As we all know, flamingoes are famed for resting on one foot, some interesting reasons have been posited, but til now it's still not entirely clear. The most interesting one of which says that they are able to rest half their body, while the other half is awake. But of course, it remains but just a theory. Maybe wearing this necklace, will help u shut half a brain when you need to chillax from the daily grind. And if anybody says you're not as sharp, you can always say "yeah but i'm using half a brain." 14k gold plated flamingo measures 5cm, while black electroplated chain measures 22", finished off with a 14k gold plated lobster clasp.

K + 79:2 - Fool's Gold - Sold

2nd necklace of the K + 79 collection. Pyrite is also commonly known as fool's gold. Back in the gold mining days, pyrite with its silverish tone & gold flecks or brassy tone (depending on which spectrum of the gemstone you were getting), was easily mistaken for gold, therefore it's name. I've wirewrapped the pyrite gumdrop with 14k gold headpin, and strung it on a black electroplated chain. Chain measures 25", while pyrite pendant measures a tiny 5mm across, and finished with 14k gold plated spring clasp. See the complete necklace & close-up on 14k lobster clasp.

K + 79:1 - Half & Half - Sold

First of the Black & Gold collection, as the name of the collection states, it's all about black & gold, in colour and its various interpretations. It's definitely something edgier, funkier and more close to my heart than the other collections that i've come up with, coz it's just the way i dress. Also in the little touches where, i've tweaked it for that really personal feel, so I hope you like it!

A black cinnabar bead & 3 textured 14k gold plated rings hold fort in this design. Gold chains drape close against your chest, while the black chains go round your neck in Half & Half. To look at the close up of the cinnabar beads, go here, or at the other touch of personality, here.

Half & Half measures 34" and is completed with 14k gold plated parts & black electroplated (over nickel) parts.

Cerulean Seas - Sold

As I looked at the faceted quartz oval bead, the scene of crashing waves came to mind. Unfortunately my memory is failing me so i can't quite remember what specific quartz it was. When i bought these semi-precious babies my memory was tip top, sigh. I rummaged through my charms box, and the natural selection was for the conch shell to be matched with something that inspires me of the deep blue sea so much. Cerulean Seas measure 21" long. Chain length can be customized to wearer's preference.

Infinitas, the latin word for eternity, is a mark of the beginning and the neverending. For everlasting, for a love that never ends.

This gilded gold ring will carry you through a simple tee & jeans combo, across the LBD, to formal wear with it's classic style. 14k gold plated eternity ring measures 1.5cm across, while chain measures 19".

Frolick - Sold

Chalcedony carved seahorse matched with a 14k gold conch shell. Pictures of blue waters, corals, me finning in the deep blue come to mind. I can already hear the ocean calling me. The quietness that surrounds you when you're 15m below the surface and you gaze in wonder what nature has given us. Feeling like a visitor allowed into someone's gorgeous home, you take in the magnificence that is in front of you.

Silver Drop - Sold

A textured silver briolette pendant hangs off a 20" cable chain. I guess this piece doesn't have a really special story.

View close-up of pendant here. A silver cleaning cloth included with the purchase.
