A Review

I'm so pleased. A couple of months ago, Ama from Feminist Review
wrote to ask if they could do a review on my jewelry, in particular, my
Migration Earrings. Ama was so sweet. She sent me a preview of a
review written my Susan Vasquez and I was delighted to hear how
much she appreciated the simple pair of earrings. Knowing that the
passion that drives me to want to create something beautiful can
also help uplift, encourage or just help someone else feel beautiful
(especially when a customer writes me to say how she enjoyed an
item or how it perked her day) is extremely humbling yet positively
exhilarating !

Just an excerpt from the review :
"Although it’s always nice to receive positive feedback from friends, the fact of the matter is that one of the highest compliments I received came from my nine-year-old daughter, who is much more likely to recognize and let me know what is wrong about my appearance than what is right. She told me the earrings were "so beautiful" and she wondered if I could “please please please” let her borrow them when she grows up. What could I say? "Yes dear, of course."

Fall 2009 Collection - Cathedral

I've just launched my new Fall 2009 collection.

Entitled `Cathedral', I was drawn by the beauty

of the stain glass in the various cathedrals around

the world. The mosaic of colors and the channelling of

sunlight that gives the colored glass a rich warm glow are

aspects which I tried to capture with the use of

rich colored jewels and resin filled filigree elements.

Dominant colors are blue zircon, burgundy and purples

which I think are lovely colors for fall. I think they

would also make for perfect accessories for this

season's clothing trend and with the rich bohemian

styles and deep jewel colors designers are using.

Here are some of the items you can find on my website :

Dabbling Around

You'd expect each collection from a designer to be
a true reflection of his/her state of mind and passion
at that moment of conception and then each piece an
outward expression of that but the fun and passion
that's presumably involved in each collection is often
eroded by the practicalities of a business such as the
item's marketability, cost of raw materials and the time
required.

As I've been following my husband on his work trips,
I haven't had the chance to update my site as I could
not lug all my supplies with me. However, I managed
to bring a handful of brass items with me and I've used
this time to really get down to just having fun and
experimenting with them.

Ooohh, the lovely effects (glossy, shimmery, matte) I've
gotten while playing around with paints and dyes have
been inspiring. I expect to launch my fall 2009 collection
at the end of August and let it be known that it will be
borne out of a sense of wonder, inspiration and
experimentation!

Bagged A Beauty

I'd been shopping around for some time to see if I
could find something that was stylish, functional
yet a little boho and didn't cost an arm and a leg.
Having also scouted the malls both in Singapore
and Indonesia (where I'm currently residing), I
still liked the ones I had shortlisted in my earlier
post.

I've finally gotten my bag...yes, many months later
but here it is. Ta Da !!

The Foley+Corinna City Clutch in Glossy Eggplant

Love it's glossy patented leather in a deep purple
(darker than what's actually captured in the photo)
that it looks almost dark brownish-black at some
angles and the smell of new leather hmmmm..... !

High Summer @ Trixilini

I've just dropped off some new items for high summer
at Trixilini. The earrings are from what I call my capsule
`luxe' range as I'm using AA-AAA quality gemstones.
I'm just experimenting with them at the moment as
I was just so drawn to the deep gorgeous colours!

If you'd like any of these designs but in
different colours etc., email me and I'll see what I can
do!
