Winter Sonata | Seasons Collection: Part 1

Lovely evening to all ye readers.

Hope your weekend has been a lovely relaxing one spent with your loved ones.
I've just returned from Singapore and I am dead tired, so if this post is slightly wacky or does not make sense, I apologize!

 Part 1 of the Seasons collection is an ode to winter. Winter has received much spotlight lately thanks to the fantastic Disney cartoon Frozen. I'm sure I speak for a lot of us when I say that the snow and ice in that movie are a glorious sight to behold. 

I am particularly fond of wintry hues - from the frosty whiteness of the snow that covers every surface, to the icy blue of the sky on a cold winter's day. Hopefully the long necklace below captures this.

 A long necklace peppered with dainty snowflake links and snowflake charms, clear blue and frosted blue round faceted chinese crystals, frosty white Czech Preciosa crystals, flower links and clover links. 

 A closeup of the assorted crystals and links on the necklace. I am particularly fond of the embossed white Czech Preciosa crystals.

Best matched with boat-necked tops and dresses, this long necklace adds a little flair to any outfit.

Item Code & Name: 202 Winter Sonata

Price: RM33.00

Status: [Sold 2], Available for different remake (Alas, I have ran out of the embossed white Czech crystals - remakes will have to be substituted with some other crystal/bead)

Materials: Snowflake Links, Snowflake Charms, Clear Blue and Frosted Blue Round-Faceted Chinese Crystals, Embossed White Czech "Preciosa" Fire-Polished Glass Beads, Clover Links, Flower Links

Measurements: Approximately 88cm (including clasp)

I loved this necklace so much that I've made it my own, but it is available for remakes.

Just drop me a line at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com, and we can work out other details from there. :)

If you're a fan of long necklaces, do also check out this other one I made some time ago: Seachelles

Signing off with a lovely song from Frozen, where you can see Winter and Snow in all its magnificence - Let It Go:

Stay tuned for Spring, Summer and Autumn! :)

Seasons Collection - Masterpost

525,600 minutes

525,000 moments so dear

525,600 minutes

How do you measure, measure a year? 

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife

In 525,600 minutes

How do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? 

Measure in love

Seasons of love.

- Rent

 Seasons come and seasons go - I hope all of you live each season with love in your life. :)

This new collection is a tribute to the four seasons in a year - to winter, spring, summer and autumn. I know the region we live in is just one big season of scorching humidity and can be more accurately described as "rainy season" or "hazy season", but that makes the appreciation of the changing seasons all the more wonderful. I love how as the temperature rises and falls, all that surrounds you changes with it. From the freshness of spring to the sun-soaked summer, from the vivid richness of autumn to the frosty hues of winter. 

Part 1: Winter Sonata

Part 2: Spring Waltz

Part 3: Summer Scent

Part 4: Autumn in My Heart

If you're wondering why the titles sound familiar, it is because they are intentionally so! Being the corny ridiculous person that I am, I thought it'd be funny to name them after the famed Korean dramas that basically started the whole Korean craze. Ah, those were the days.

Posts start tomorrow (Sunday).

Also, just an additional note that this is a scheduled post as I am currently in sunny Singapore! I'll be back late Sunday night, so if you do not receive any responses from me before then, it will be because I am Without Internet.

The lyrics I quoted above come from the musical Rent. Lovely lovely song, so do give it a listen.

Measure your life in love.

Seasons of love.

Sexy Black Collaboration with I Can't Sew - Part 3

I'm bringing sexy back

Yeah

When at a loss of how to start a blog post, just sing some lyric that is very vaguely connected to the content of your post! Heh. That's the extent of my knowledge of JT's song. Those 5 words. :p

Here's part 3 of our ongoing collaboration with I Can't Sew - Sexy Black promotional packages at awesomely affordable prices!

Bring sexy back with this sexy black figure-hugging pleated dress, matched with the lovely dark silver, midnight blue and jet black Midnight in Paris bracelet. The gorgeous Bermuda Blue AB Swarovski Heart adds a little sparkle and glamour to this outfit, suitable for nights out, parties, or you know, midnight in Paris. :)

The dress was originally RM49 and the bracelet originally RM22 - now you can get the whole package for RM49! Essentially you get a free bracelet when you purchase the dress. Cool, eh?

Dusk to Dawn

Drive-by post as I have to be somewhere sometime soon. :)

Today's post is a tribute to an animal that makes for a very good motif in clothing and accessories - owls! Owls were all the rage a couple of years ago, and as a result I have 2 cute owl shirts and a pair of owl earrings. Owls are no stranger to this blog, having previously featured in this Golden Snitch bracelet (Hedwig! ;___; ) and also this pair of Hoot! earrings. 

I've always wanted to make a pair for myself, so here they are.

Embossed blue and embossed purple Czech Preciosa crystals, silver-clear crystal doughnuts and crystal teardrops paint a picture of the gloriously beautiful sky during dusk and dawn, paired with the tiny hooting nocturnal birds.

Item Code & Name: 201 Dusk to Dawn

Price: RM12.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Silver-Clear Chinese Crystal Teardrops, Silver-Clear Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Embossed Blue and Embossed Purple Czech "Preciosa" Fire-Polished Glass Beads, Owl Charms

Silver Filigree

Feeling a little under the weather today, so I shall keep this post short and sweet.

Way back when, this intricately-patterned silver filigree featured in some of my bracelet designs (see: Peach Petals and Pink Peonies), and it was always at the back of my mind that I should make myself a pair of earrings with these filigrees. Then other shiny things caught my attention and I moved on to making all the trinkets under the sun, and promptly forgot about this idea. Recently when I was gazing adoringly at my bead stash like an obsessive magpie, I was struck with the inspiration to finally make that pair of earrings. 

So much for keeping this post short and sweet. I'll stop with the grandma stories, I promise. Picture time:

Intricate silver filigrees paired with sky blue crystal teardrops - simple yet elegant.

 If you have dark, long hair, the silver filigrees will look particularly striking when you wear your hair down.

 

Item Code & Name: 200 Silver Filigree

Price: RM12.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Square Silver Filigree, Sky Blue Chinese Crystal Teardrops

If you like this pair of earrings, do note that I have crystal teardrops in other colours too! Drop me a line at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com if you're interested in customising it in another colour.

Sexy Black Collaboration with I Can't Sew - Part 2

I can't sew,

therefore I buy.

Haha, gotta love I Can't Sew's tagline. I certainly live by that principle. :)

Anyway, I'm back to promote yet another promotional package - our 2nd collaboration with I Can't Sew for their Sexy Black promotional sales. Every time I post about this promotion, Justin Timberlake's suave voice reverberates in my head. Not that I'm complaining. :p

This promotional package has a trio of suave, glamorous, sexy colours - Black, Gold and Silver. Gaya, mutu, keunggulan -

A gorgeous black dress with floral cutouts that show off the lovely muted gold lining underneath, paired with sleek silver accessories from yours truly - the Milky Way bracelet with a galaxy's worth of silver crystals and pearls, and matching earrings where silver crystals and pearls dangle like little constellations from your ears.

Originally RM88, this set is now available for only RM57! The original price of the bracelet and earrings was RM33... so if you think about it... that's only an additional RM24 for the dress. So worth it, I'm almost tempted.

Ze promotion ends on 15th April (ignore the date written on the picture above), and it's limited to ONE piece only, so hurry before someone beats you to it!

Mystique (Shades of Gray) - Customised

There's been a lot of hoo-hah about 50 Shades of Gray, what with the purported raunchy scenes, and the revelation that it was originally written as Twilight fanfiction with Edward and Bella as the main characters. Not that I've read it, and I don't intend to. :p It's just been fascinating reading the news about this much-talked-about book. 

Anyway, why am I blathering on about random things when I have accessories to wax lyrical about!

The Mystique necklace, which has appeared originally here and been remade here also comes in Shades of Gray! Not fifty shades though... just three. :) This was also customised for Soo Fong, who gifted her old friends at the reunion with different variations of this necklace. I hope your reunion was lovely, Soo Fong! :)

 Clear gray Czech Preciosa crystals and silver-black chinese crystal doughnuts connected by twin chains to a round double-twisted ring on the other side, with a montana AB Czech Preciosa crystal encased within.

 I particularly love the AB shine on the Czech Preciosa crystal within the ring, where different facets reflect different colours.

Item Code & Name: 199 Mystique (Shades of Gray - Customised)

Price: RM20.00

Status: [Sold 2], Available for remakes

Materials: Clear Gray and Montana AB Czech "Preciosa" Fire-Polished Glass Beads, Silver-Black Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Round Double Twisted Ring, Toggle Clasp

Measurements: Approximately 50cm (including clasp) 

 

If you like double-chained trinkets and would like to check more out, look no further!

That's all for today, wishing all my lovely readers a wonderful week ahead.

Mystique 2.0 - Customised

Hello my friends. :)

Hope you're having a nice, relaxing Saturday. I woke up not too long ago, which was lovely. Ah, sleeping. My favourite hobby next to eating, singing and making accessories. Hard to make a living out of sleeping though, so here I am.

Back when I posted the Double Double, Toil and Trouble collection, the most popular item was the Mystique necklace, I guess because of the slightly unique twist where the toggle acts as part of the necklace. So when Soo Fong emailed me to say she wanted to order 6 of the Mystique necklaces for a reunion of old friends, I was quite happy to oblige. Due to the quantity, we decided to change it up a little, with 2 of the original, 2 in shades of grey, and 2 in different shades of purple, which you will see today. I've named it Mystique 2.0, coz I'm a geek, and proud to be one. :D

 On one side - clear purple Czech Preciosa crystals and lavender round faceted chinese crystals. On the other, a metallic purple Czech Preciosa crystal encased within a round double-twisted ring. Both sides are connected with twin chains.

 

The difference between this and the original Mystique is the colour of the Czech Preciosa crystals. Here, the embossed purple crystals have been substituted with clear purple crystals, and the purple AB crystal encased within the ring has been substitued with the metallic purple crystal.

Item Code & Name: 198 Mystique 2.0 (Customised)

Price: RM20.00

Status: [Sold 2], Available for remakes

Materials: Clear Purple and Metallic Purple Czech "Preciosa" Fire-Polished Glass Beads, Lavender Round-Faceted Chinese Crystals, Round Double Twisted Ring, Toggle Clasp

Measurements: Approximately 50cm (including clasp)

I'll be back tomorrow with the other Mystique necklace, this time in (50) shades of gray. Haha. Not really.

Sun-Kissed Spring - Customised

Hellooo~

Today's post will be relatively short as I am rushing off for some other thing. Life's a little hectic at the moment, which is both challenging and fun. :)

Here's a bookmark that Anujah customised for her sister, with soft, pale yellow tones.

 With flower engravings swirling around the bookmark, pale yellow watercolour-print faux pearls, a diamond link and a pale yellow daisy on a flower filigree, this bookmark is reminiscent of sun-kissed springtime

Item Code & Name: 197 Sun-Kissed Spring

Price: RM20.00

Status: [Sold], Available for different remake (I've run out of this particular bookmark, but there are others for you to select from. Just email me to check! :))

Materials: Pale Yellow Watercolour-Print Faux Pearls, Diamond Link, Pale Yellow Daisy Cabochon, Flower Filigree

Check out other bookmarks here :)

Diamond Ring - Customised

Hi again!

It's funny that I'm posting about this particular accessory today, because the person who customised it - my colleague and friend Anujah, wore it to work this very day! :D

I love customising stuff, and I especially love customising stuff for people I know, partly because there's a much more personal touch due to our friendship, and partly because they'll probably be too nice to tell me that I suck if they're not happy with the trinkets that I make. So this is a shoutout to all mah homies who support mah hobby. I love you all! *smooches*

As you can see, I'm a little hyper. I had coffee today, you see. :D

Anyway, onto the trinket, which is the actual point of this post. If you remember the Double Double Toil and Trouble collection, where I took great glee in pairing things together and doubling all my chains, this Lockheart necklace was featured. Anujah has since time immemorial (do I get points for melodrama? :p) longed and pined for a double-chained necklace, and thus seized the opportunity to customise something similar, with different pendants. I love the result better than the original:

An elegant double-chained necklace with 2 corresponding geometric shapes as pendants - a diamond link and a round-double twisted ring link. At the time, I found it the most hilarious thing to call it Diamond Ring, since it features a diamond link and a ring. Who am I kidding, I still find it hilarious. :p Can't afford the real thing? Get yourself this necklace!  

 On the inner chain are tiny heart links flanked by metallic silver and burgundy round-faceted chinese crystals.

If Lockheart was demure and sweet, this necklace is elegant and regal, befitting a lady.

Item Code & Name: 196 Diamond Ring

Price: RM26.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Metallic Silver & Burgundy Round-Faceted Chinese Crystals, Tiny Heart Links, Diamond Link, Round Double-Twisted Ring Link

Measurements: Inner Chain = Approximately 43cm (including clasp), Outer Chain = Approximately 50cm (including clasp) + 3.5cm extender chain

Sexy Black Collaboration with I Can't Sew - Part 1

Hope y'all have been having a lovely Monday.

I spent mine in a sleep-deprived, head-achey haze. Think I'mma take it easy and relax tonight.

But before that!

I'm here again to announce yet another collaboration with the awesome people at I Can't Sew. We make such good partners in crime fashion. :p They're bringing sexy back in the form of Sexy Black clothing, so we've contributed a few accessories to their promotional packages, some even from the Little Black Dress collection! Ah, memories.

Part 1 of our collaboration goes like this:

A chic-looking black dress that comes with a red belt, and our own Vive la France bracelet. With flared edges, this dress is right up my alley - all at the price of only RM62 when the original cost for this combination would've been RM92. 

Tempted? I know I AM. ;)

Check out the promo package on I Can't Sew's webpage here ♥

Good night. :)

Turquoise Trails

Howdy.

Not sure why I decided to greet you like a cowgirl from the mid-west, but let's just roll with it.

Yeehaw!

Continuing in my love affair with all things Cloisonne, here's another pair of earrings with cloisonne beads. I think I like this one best. This is the last trinket in a row with cloisonne beads, I promise. :)

 A pair of earrings with crystals and beads dangling at the end of 3 chains: carribean blue opal Swarovski bicones, silver-clear chinese crystal doughnuts and intricate turquoise blue cloisonne beads.

Item Code & Name: 195 Turquoise Trails

Price: RM15.00 SALE: RM10.50 only (30% off, while item remains Available)

Status: Available

 G'night, folks.

Continue to pray for the crew and passengers of MH370 and their family members. Maybe miracles can happen. If not, then at least some resolution for their loved ones.

The Empress

Good morning!

I am sneakily writing this from work (on a Saturday T__T), so hopefully no one from work sees this. :p 

If you think the title of this post sounds regal, it is because it is intentionally so. My mummy has featured quite a bit on this blog, and here she is being featured yet again. Since I think she is super awesome, I always name the trinkets I made for her with royal themes, the first being Queen of Hearts, and now, The Empress.

When I think of the word empress, the mythical (or historical) regal, powerful queens of old come to mind. This one comes with an Asian twist, and the pictures below are self-explanatory.

 Turquoise blue cloisonne beads alternate mellow green faux-jade stones in this relatively simple piece. They bring to mind an ancient bygone era, where peasants paid respects to their reigning emperor and empress with their finest wares. Though I'm not one to love jade, I like the vintage touch of this piece. 

 Mummy fell in love with cloisonne beads at the same time that I did, so I decided to make this piece with some old gemstones of hers. Unfortunately, I have no idea what these mellow green stones are actually made of, but they're smooth and cool to the touch.

Item Code & Name: 194 The Empress

Price: RM26.00

Status: Available for remakes (if you don't mind that the jade-like gemstones are "pre-loved") 

Materials: Turquoise Blue Cloisonne Beads, Jade-Like Gemstones

Measurements: Approximately 17cm (including clasp) 

Check out other trinkets featuring cloisonne beads here!

If you'd like to order, just send me an email at

daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com

Happy Saturday, dear readers.

:)

Cloisonne

Cloisonné is an ancient metalworking technique that is prevalent in many beautiful decorations all over the world. :) Luckily for us beading enthusiasts, this technique is used in the production of beads too, leading to gorgeously intricate cloisonne enamel beads. These glass enamel beads often contain beautiful painted flowers lined with a unique electroplated gold / silver film.

I've been looking for cloisonne beads for a long time (for some reason, none of my suppliers in KL have them), but managed to chance upon them on a trip to Penang! So I bought a gorgeous strand of turquoise cloisonne beads, which will be featured in a few upcoming trinkets. Here is the first, which I've named Cloisonne, because I'm unimaginative. :p

Cascading clear, blue zircon and carribean blue opal Swarovski bicones, ending with a clear crystal doughnut and the lovely turquoise Cloisonne beads with flower motifs.

Against a silver background for a clearer view of the clear crystals

Price: RM15.00 SALE: RM10.50 only (30% off, while item remains Available)

Words to Live By - Conclusion

Hellooooo.

It's been a while since I posted a pic of all items of the same collection, so here is one that has all items from the Words to Live By collection! :)

Aaah, J'adore. :3

Hope you live your life by these words - by believing in love, by laughing and loving, by never giving up on the things that matter.

With that, I bid you good night.

おやすみ.

Je t'aime | Words to Live By Collection: Part 5

Good evening, friends.

Hope the week is treating you well so far. :)

We've reached the end of the Words to Live By collection. Do you have a favourite? Mine is definitely the Live. Laugh. Love. keychain featured on Sunday. In fact, if no one buys it in the next few days, I might keep it for myself. :p


Part 5 of this collection will end with a necklace, a simple choker-style necklace with a simple message: all you need is Love.

 Adorn your neck with this dainty design - Love in cursive script, flanked by tiny faux pearls in lavender, rosaline and ivory, and a gorgeous light amethyst Swarovski heart dangling off the L of Love.

 Je t'aime is french for "I love you", which I thought would be a sweet and romantic name fitting for this dainty necklace.

Item Code & Name: 191 Je t'aime

Price: RM18.00 SALE: RM13.50 only (25% off, while item remains Available)

Status: Available

Materials: Lavender, Rosaline and Ivory Faux Pearls, Cursive Love Link, Light Amethyst Swarovski Heart

Live. Laugh. Love. | Words to Live By Collection: Part 4

As I am writing this post, there's still no confirmed news of the whereabouts of MH370. My heart goes out to the passengers and crew of the flight, and their family and friends. Please spare some time to pray for them, if you can.

Unexpected and inexplicable tragedies like these really remind you to cherish your life and your loved ones. Life is short, and one never knows what the future may bring. So as much as we can, let us live meaningfully, laugh with abandon, and love one another.

In some ways, Part 4 of the Words to Live By collection is quite apt for these times. Simply titled Live. Laugh. Love., may this be a reminder to you and me to make the most of this temporal place we call home.

 A keychain with grey AB, embossed white and metallic dark silver Czech Preciosa crystals, a slate blue daisy cabochon on a flower filigree, a chinese knot link and the focus of it all: a charm encouraging you to live, laugh, and love.

 This is my favourite of the collection, partly because of the slate blue daisy, partly because of the chinese knot link that has for me symbolised the bond of family and friends, and particularly because of the message. If there are any words one should live by, it is these.

Customisable in various Made to Order colours, as seen above and detailed below.

Item Code & Name: 190 Live. Laugh. Love.

Price: RM18.00

Status: Original (Slate Blue Daisy) - [Sold 2], Available for different remake (Alas, I have ran out of the embossed white Czech crystals - remakes will have to be substituted with some other crystal/bead)

I Believe | Words to Live By Collection: Part 3

Good morning! (Or good day, or good evening, whatever time it is for you as you are reading this!)

Oh how I love Saturdays, let me count the ways. :D

It's a packed day for me, things to do, places to be, so this shall be a rather short post. Still longer than standard blogshop posts, but that's what you get from a verbose person like me! (Colin Firth, in Bridget Jones' Diary, referred to this condition as "verbal incontinence", which is both hilarious and a little bit gross. Colin Firth though. Mmm. British accents. Mmm.)

Anywaaaaay!

Part 3 of the Words to Live By collection features a bookmark that I am rather fond of, simply named I Believe.

 Adorn your books with this dainty little bookmark featuring a lone lilac pearl, a flower disc bead, a lovely lilac and purple polymer clay rose, a deep purple round faceted chinese crystal and a charm to remind you to Believe in love.

 On the bookmark, can you spy the intricate flower-pattern engravings? I believe in love - not just romantic love, but love in all its forms - friendship, family, love for country, love from God. Ultimately, that's what gets us humans through the day, and connects us to each other.

 As with Perseverance in the last post, there are also Made to Order options. :) I simple adore the polymer clay roses. They're so beautifully made, and the two-toned (in some cases three) colours blend together beautifully.

Item Code & Name: 189 I Believe

Price: RM22.00

Status: Original (Lilac/Purple Rose) - [Sold 2], Not available

1. Light Blue Rose - Made to Order

2. White/Yellow Primrose - Made to Order

** note: Made to Order options may contain different beads (i.e. may not be faux pearls / round-faceted chinese crystals). Email me if you'd like to see how your preferred colour option will look like. :)

That's all, folks.

It's Thursday! And soon will come Friday, and after that the weekend!

Hang in there and persevere, all ye who are tired and weary. :)

Here's a handbag charm to accompany you wherever you go, as a reminder to never give up on pursuing your dreams, to never give up on the things that are worth it.

Aquamarine, sapphire and cobalt AB Czech Preciosa crystals together with an ocean wave link represent stormy seas and a life that is unpredictable, and an antique silver-plated charm exhorting oneself to never give up.

 Closeup of the royal blue dahlia on an intricate flower filigree.

Everlasting Love | Words to Live By Collection: Part 1

Hello people of the world!

It's getting late, so I'll (try to) keep this post short. Today marks the first post in the Words to Live By Collection, and I'm excited about it for a number of reasons:

1. I'm always excited about new collections. :D

2. The bracelet is double-chained (which is a nice continuation of the latest Double Double Toil and Trouble collection)

3. This marks the use of a new material - faux suede! I'm venturing into the unknown, exploring new frontiers and all. :p

Without further ado, here's Everlasting Love:

 A double-"chained" bracelet featuring an infinity link wrapped in dark gray faux suede, and a Love link connected to a silver-plated chain. Infinity + Love = Everlasting Love.

 The suede and the silver chain are linked at the end with a lobster clasp and an extender chain.

Item Code & Name: 187 Everlasting Love

Price: RM16.00 SALE: RM12.00 (25% off, while item remains Available)

Status: Available

Materials: Infinity Link, Love Link, Suede

Words to Live By Collection - Masterpost

Hola!

A new month calls for a new collection!

Remember the Personalised Statement Bracelets collection?

That was a popular collection that is still getting requests for customisation till this day, I guess because of the personal (duh, haha) nature of the collection - that you get to customise each bracelet with a personal message to encourage and inspire yourself, or the person you want to give it to. 

Since I've bought a slew of new charms and links with inspirational words on them (and any reader of this blog would know that I looooove words, verbose as I am), I decided that it was high time to introduce another collection with inspirational and encouraging words. This time, in the form of not just bracelets, but a variety of trinkets - here are some Words to Live By:

Part 1: Everlasting Love

Part 2: Perseverance

Part 3: I Believe

Part 4: Live. Laugh. Love.

Part 5: Je t'aime

I'm excited! Join me in my excitement this coming Tuesday, when Part 1 shall be posted. :)

For now, I bid you good night, a good week ahead, and in general - a good life. 

For Ivy

... and another month arrives.

So swiftly time passes by. I hope each and every one of you are holding on to the moments and the people that matter. :)

Today's post is an early birthday greeting for my friend Ivy!

Ivy previously mentioned a liking for midnight blue pearls (which I happen to adore as well), so I decided to make her a bracelet that incorporates midnight blue pearls and some charms and beads that kinda embody her personality and her faith. 

Faux pearls in dark silver and midnight blue, jet black helix crystals, a flower bead, a Hope bead, a Bermuda Blue AB Swarovski heart and a cross dangling from a dainty clover link.

The jet black, dark silver and midnight blue hues of the pearls and crystals represent the dark night. I am reminded of the quote "Faith shines brightest in the dark". Ivy, may your faith always shine bright, even in the darkest of times. :)

Again, let me profess my love for the Bermuda Blue AB Swarovski Heart. Stunning.
