english masquerade ~ $20

When we think of english balls, we think of the most outrageous masks held by englishmen and ladies twirling around in a sprawling dancehall.. i suppose this is how i got inspired by this piece, the tensha beads have rose motifs on them which prints are charming in an english sort of way. and the swarovski crystals add sparkle and shine that is definitely present during the night of masquerade. the masks speak for themselves :)

flitter flutter ~ $12

I thought the hummingbird charm was tres adorable, they face different ways for different earrning sides! yes these little gold charms go so well with the faux white pearls! like the hummingbirds are fluttering above the clouds. a tad too high but oh what a pretty idea...

ying&yang ~ $20

I love this pair of earrings! A lot of effort has gone into this pair which would explain the higher price. Made of faux off-white/tan pearls, clear faceted drops and swarovski crystals, Ying & Yang has an apt name because the little doves represent the holy matrimony of love that transcends different colors and backgrounds, hence the fusion of dark&gold in this meaningful lovely.

taj mahal ~ $25

I love how everything just flows in this piece, it's like all the different parts are meant to be! initially i had such a difficult time looking for something that will complement the elephant charm and the little tusk but i looked at them again and thought that the blingy heart framed with gold would be perfect. And of course the vintage ivory gold button adds a touch of glamor to this enchanting piece, a sync with the tusk.

parfait!

geisha charm ~ $ 20

Fans and cherry blossoms, the best of traditional Japan that everyone associates with, so I introduced Geisha Charm to you.. Because every girl loves flowers and fans :)

It took forever for me to find these red cinnabar fans and when i finally did, i got them shipped to my house in maryland so that my hubby can bring it with him when he visits. later i found out his bags were lost in the hassle of transfering flights at snowed in chicago but they finally found it and here they are now!! hurrah! with these pretty tensha beads which japanese cherry blossoms have been drawn on, these pair of beauties bring out the chic in rouge-noir through the ruby faceted drops and the dark chains. slight pricey but a well deserving pair that took me a while to make.

im gonna keep it for myself if nobody gets them.

emerald paradise ~ $25

This pretty necklace has a green and gold theme that makes it soo attractive. a single parrot perches on a ring of gold while a heart locket offers endearment. the focal centerpiece would be the vintage emerald button and the unique pearl-in-cloisonne that is gold and has pretty green-white flowers drawn on it....
