Sunshowers and a wedding gift

Tweet

The weather in sunny Singapore is getting a little cranky with scorchingly hot mornings and dreary afternoons with strong downpours.  Today, we had a sunshower, while not exactly a rare sight, is still less common than grey rainy skies.  According to an old folklore, when it rains with sun, the foxes are getting married.... or is it the tiger?

How about a wedding gift to congratulate the couple?

Glorious Sparkles

I have been hard at work and here are the fruits of my labour for the week.  It's been a joy working with these gems!

The first is a lovely long, cluster drop earrings with sage green amethysts and sapphires of mauves, tangerines, warm yellows, and raspberry pinks.

The second piece builts on a classic design with the most gorgeous Swiss blue topaz.  My challenge with great quality gemstones has always been coming up with the best design to do justice to these sparkles.  A poor design could so easily put these fabulous gems to waste.

There is something intriguing about a person's backview that makes me want to find out more. What kind of person are they?  What thoughts are going through their mind?  Do they feel happy or sad?

Finding Your Style

Tweet

Like many girls, I often see a piece of fabulous jewelry and fret about when I would ever find the right occasion to wear it. I'm a bit of a lazy dresser and like to go with pieces that do not take too much effort to wear yet give the impression of effortless style.

So one day, I thought of putting a styleboard together as an experiment to see how I could wear my jewelry pieces. In the process, I had lots of fab discoveries!

I would love to know what your style is!
