FLORA & FAUNA - S$15 (SOLD)



Using brass leaf branch connectors, I wire-wrapped these 8mm Crystal pearls onto them. Each pearl is capped with a leaf-motif bead cap.

I bought these red ones some time as I had never come across these colours from Swarovski. Nevertheless, they have the look and feel of Swarovski! I should have asked but the bead shop has sinced moved away.

Don't you think they look like a single bud on a stalk? For those who like the flora and fauna, here is a pair that will thrill you.

PEARLS REMIX - BRONZE S$22 (SOLD)



Pearls are always a classic and here is a classic way of how such a pair of earrings can be made. But instead of the usual white pearls, I used a combination of bronze and green coloured Swarovski crystal pearls and of course , for that classic touch, I added the Swarovski Gold-plated crystal spacers. The bronze pearl size is 10mm. I always like the uniformity of Swarovski crystal pearls- they are always perfectly round.
In music language, I present to you a remix of the classics!
