When Doves Cry - Sold

I still remember skipping school to watch Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet. The technicolour scenes on Venice Beach and the modern interpretation of the age old Bard's tale was truly fresh & inspiring. Watching the fresh faced Leonardo di Caprio & Claire Danes in love against all odds, and Harold Perrineau as Mercutio defending his friend even if it meant death. I know this is probably romanticising it, When Doves Cry is a tribute to the loves we will have in our lifetime. And that they are worth fighting & protecting, no matter how difficult it can be.

When Doves Cry is 14k gold plated and measures a total of 2.3cm.

Novus - Sold

It's been a really long break for me since I last made any jewellery and posted them for sale. Occasionally I'd pull something out, make a complete necklace, not take photos & just keep them in a bag. Not quite sure why, but things got really stale, and I felt like I had nothing new to offer. I don't even know if this time round I'll manage anything spectacular, but I do have some beads that I don't want to keep in the drawers, left to be forgotten. So hopefully I do those beads some justice, and we'll see how things go.  

Novus means a new beginning, a fresh start. Hopefully I dig deep enough to find something, to call as Earring Addict's own once again. 

Novus kickstarts with a classic design that everyone is familiar with, Swarovski opal starburst matched with amethyst drops on sterling silver hooks for the starstruck and the bejewelled set. Plenty of pastel tones to fit into Spring's latest colour palette. The amethyst drops measure a hefty 1.5cm height, if i could measure it in carats i'm sure it wouldn't be a lacklustre number. 

Novus measures a total length of 32mm.

Mint Royale with frosty mint Swarovski crystals, matched with 14k matte gold plated lace & cream Swarovski pearls hanging off your ears, as your body sways to Kirsty Maccoll's Mambo de La Luna is probably the best way to spend a Saturday like today.

Claire - Sold

Claire is the look of elegance, class & grace. Many try to seek her attention, but in the process find out more about themselves than her. She listens patiently, and delivers her wisdom in the softest touch possible, before leaving you feeling like the biggest fool for not seeing it earlier. Her clarity of thought belies a character that holds more within.

Bearing a pair of mysterious black agate that seems entirely opaque in some angles, Claire shows her true depth with the agate inclusions, telling of the strength of her character. Topping it off with matte black faceted glass beads & 14k diamante ear posts. Claire's grace measures a skyscraping 7cm.

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.

Augello - Sold

Some people want it all
But i don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby

Some just want everything
But everything means nothing

- Alicia Keys, If I Ain't Got You

Some men will tell you they'll buy you diamond rings, pretty dresses and sparkly things. Here's for you to say to them that I'll buy my own, Thank you very much.

Green Bottles - Sold

The refreshing rains have come along, and Green Bottles captures that refreshing feeling perfectly for me. The cool, transclucent pale green glass beads has such a softness to it that reminds me of the cool air that is left behind by the heavy, cold rains. I've match a yellow-based polymer clay bead that is dotted with colourful flowers with the soft green glass beads, and as an accent, i've included an irregular opalescent glass nugget to complete this bracelet. Green Bottles measures 7.5" long.

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.

Mystic Falls - Sold

If you watch Vampire Diaries, you'll know what i'm talking about. Mystic Falls, home to the supernatural, vampires, werewolves, amongst i'm sure more creatures that we'll see as the seasons unfold. Mystic Falls is also home to a few love stories, a story of strong friendships, and of growing up. We all know how all that feels. Almost aww-inducing.

The 2 hand blown glass beads from Perth kind of remind me of that deep pooling of mystery, as well as something less sinister, and perhaps a little squishy love. When sometimes the darkness threatens to overcome us, we always step out of it, that bit more grown up, that bit stronger.

Msytic Falls measures 3.8cm tall and comes complete with 14k gold plated ear hooks.

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.
