Porcelain - Customised

Helloooo!

I'm going off on a mini-vacation from tomorrow till Sunday, so gotta rush! This will be a short post. :)

When Jaycee customised the mushroom and macaron handbag charms, she also wanted to put her own spin to this Porcelain bracelet. Here's the customised version:

 Off-white clay beads handpainted with swirls and zigzag patterns, in porcelain blue and jet black ink, and a reminder to be courageous and have hope.

 Gotta love the painstakingly hand-painted swirls and zigzag patterns in these Lun Bawang beads.

Item Code & Name: 378 Porcelain (Customised)

Price: RM30.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials: Blue Swirl, Black Swirl and Blue Zigzag Lun Bawang Beads, Clear Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Courage Bead, Heart Bead, Toggle Clasp

Measurements: Approximately 16.5cm (including clasp)

I've run out of the Black Swirl beads, but if you wish for a remake without those beads, we can work something out.

I'm travelling, so responses may not be as frequent, yeah? :)

That's all for now, be back early next week!

Amulette

Oh, Mondays.

Mondays aren't fun days.

But the worst is over and it's 4 more days till the weekend!

You know what else starts with the letter M? Mushrooms and Macarons! Way back when, I posted this Jars of Clay collection, featuring clay beads and charms. Among these beads and charms were the cutest mushroom and macaron charms ever. :)

 

Jaycee wanted to customise some handbag charms for herself and for her friends, and wanted to include both these charms. Here are the matching accessories. :)

 Swarovski Hearts that dangle from ribbon links, faux pearls, macarons and mushrooms, and a reminder to never, never give up! Amulette is French for "amulet" or "charm". From left to right --> rose, pourpre, rouge (French for pink, purple and red respectively).

Cupid Strikes

Hello!

Sorry I've been missing in action. I wanted to post yesterday, but was so tired I fell asleep at 9pm. (If that's not a sign of ageing, I don't know what is!). It's been a busy, tiring couple of workdays, so yay TGIF!

Before I go off and enjoy the start of my weekend, here's a pretty necklace customised by Melanie. She liked the circle links and arrow links from the Noir bracelet, and after a few revisions to it, we arrived at this design in sweet rosaline and lilac tones.

A slightly asymmetrical necklace with rosaline faux pearls and chinese crystal doughnuts accompanying circle and arrow links on each side, with a lilac rose cabochon pendant and twin dangling chains.

 Named Cupid Strikes for the little arrow heart links and circle links (almost like Cupid's target). This is possibly one of Dainty Little Trinkets' sweetest creations. :)

Item Code & Name: 374 Cupid Strikes

Price: RM25.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available (unless you don't mind substituting the lilac rose cabochon with a different colour)

Materials: Rosaline Faux Pearls, Rosaline Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Circle Links, Arrow Heart Links, A Lilac Rose Cabochon on a Flower Filigree

Measurements: Approximately 44.5cm (including clasp), extender = 4cm

If you'd like to customise something, all you have to do is email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com to discuss ideas!

Rich, unique colours matched with dainty butterfly links - supplies are limited so this is only available for one last remake - if you like this, hurry up and order it!

For The Little One

This day, Saturday 20 December, is the day my little brother officially graduates with Honours and is released into the scary postgraduate world. I am currently away and have most likely just spent my Saturday morning being bored to tears by the graduation ceremony in some majestic-looking hall somewhere in Melbourne. With my luck, it will be 38 degrees like it was during his graduation last year. Oh the sweltering heat and the gaping hole in the ozone layer above Australia! *pengsan*

Anyway, since it is the little one's graduation date and all, this post is dedicated to him. (Also, he's at least a head taller than everyone else in my family, so he's not little at all. But once a little bro, always a little bro - I'm sure some of you can relate.)

My brother is as big of a Harry Potter fan as I am, so this is a plain and simple Deathly Hallows keychain to accompany him through his many more years away from home.

Unfortunately, this ain't available because I don't actually have any antique brass keychains available (I recycled this one from an existing trinket I had lying around). But if you're a fan of all things Harry Potter, never fear! Check out more stuff here!

Little one, I'll leave you with this quote from the indomitable, quirky and ever-wise Dumbledore:

'Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.'

Remember this as you face each challenge that comes your way.

I'm very proud of you.

 

Much love,

姐

Tranquil Isles - Customised

Hi folks!

Today's post is the continuation of a series of necklaces that have been customised for Felicia, who likes all things asymmetrical and random. :) Today's necklace is quite unique, comprising different beads, crystals, flowers, and filigrees. The colour scheme for this necklace is blue, mint, and white, with inspiration coming from the Peaceful Waters bracelet from the Jars of Clay collection. Since this necklace was inspired by that bracelet, I have expanded on its name and named this creation Tranquil Isles. 

Representing tranquility - silver filigrees, mint and off-white flower cabochons, a white shell teardrop bead, frosted blue and air blue opal chinese crystal doughnuts, shiny white faux pearls, an aquamarine glass bead, and a single aquamarine zigzag-patterned Lun Bawang.

A closeup of the eclectic mix of beads and links that comprise this opera-length necklace. There's something soothing about this colour scheme.

Item Code & Name: 305 Tranquil Isles

Price: RM38.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials: Aquamarine Zigzag Lun Bawang Bead, Air Blue Opal & Frosted Blue Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Aquamarine Glass Bead, Shiny White Faux Pearls, White Shell Teardrop Bead, Silver Filigrees, Off-White and Mint Dahlia Cabochons

Measurements: Approximately 72cm (including clasp)

 

I've run out of the off-white dahlias, so if you'd like a remake without the off-white dahlia, this is possible. :)

 

daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com

 

Hope you're having a tranquil evening / day / week, whenever it is that you're reading this. 

I'll leave you with a song that to me epitomises tranquility - May It Be, from Enya 

(with beautiful snapshots from the epic Lord of The Rings trilogy)

My Fair Lady - Customised

Happy Saturday!

It's been a while since I featured any necklaces on this site, so necklaces it is today! Well, one necklace in particular, in a series of necklaces that I customised for Felicia. Felicia is a necklace person - in one shot, she purchased 7 necklaces from me, 4 of which are customised! Over the next few posts, you will get to see them in all their glory (haha).

The first is a customisation of an existing trinket of mine - the My Fair Lady bracelet that I made for myself some time ago. Felicia liked this bracelet but wanted to make a necklace instead, so I expanded on the existing beads and here is the result:

Against a silver background for clearer depiction of the white beads and crystals. An off-white dahlia on a square filigree, followed by a sequence of ivory faux pearls, frosted white chinese crystal doughnuts, white faux pearls with gold swirls, and shiny white faux pearls. 

 White necklaces go quite well with dark tops, as you can see in the picture below - pair it with a boatneck top and you're good to go! This necklace is longer than my standard "princess" length necklaces that end somewhere below the clavicle. This is regarded as the "matinee" length. The things you learn when you delve into accessory-making! 

Item Code & Name: 303 My Fair Lady

Price: RM22.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials: Ivory, Shiny White & White (with Gold Swirls) Faux Pearls, White Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Off-White Dahlia, Square Filigree

Measurements: Approximately 54cm (including clasp), Extender = 4cm

Alas, I have run out of the off-white dahlia and it is not being restocked by my supplier. *sad*

If you like this design, I have dahlia cabochons in other colours and a selection of beads that I can try to customise to fit this design. I'm just an email away!

Enjoy your weekend now, ladies.

Sunshine

Alas!

The shopping bug has bitten and I have been going on a half-crazed bead-shopping binge these past few days. I am now surrounded by a mass of my shiny new purchases and my eyes are gleaming with the sparkle reflected off of the beads and charms and I am slowly starting to transform into Smaug - he who hoards treasure and breathes fire at anyone who dares disturb him (I only wish I could be like him, haha).

Wow, that was a long monologue, but I guess this blog is basically one long, extended monologue from me, so I'm guessing you either skim over all my text and stare at pictures only, or you actually find my neurosis amusing. Heh.

ANYWAY.

Today's post is dedicated to Ren, who is a hardworking PhD student in the windy land of Wellington. She's always a ray (or multiple rays) of Sunshine, always a friend of the world and always ready for all sorts of fun and hijinks. Here's a little bookmark I made for her. (Ren if you're reading this, come back and claim it! Haha)

 A flower-and-sunny-yellow-themed bookmark: yellow and white-striped faux pearls, a diamond link, a gorgeous yellow rose and a Never Give Up charm.

Item Code & Name: 285 Sunshine

Price: RM22.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available (I've run out of this yellow rose, but I have roses of other colours. Email me if you're interested!)

Materials: Shiny Yellow & Yellow/White-Striped Faux Pearls, Diamond Link, Yellow Polymer Clay Rose, Never Never Give Up Charm

Ren dear, continue being the sweet, sunny person that you are. Keep on keeping on with your research work - I have no doubt that you'll get there, one step at a time! ♥

Check out other bookmark designs here! All totally customisable. :)

Thank ye!

Time to go back to staring at my preciousssssssss treasures.

Toodles!

Reinventions

One of my favourite things to do is reinvent old knick-knacks.

When my friend Jah wanted to recycle an old chunky bracelet, I thought it'd be cool to take it apart and make earrings out of them! Voila - one bracelet now has become two pairs of earrings. :)

Wirework using miyuki beads in shades of gold and brown - whoever made these initial circular and square bits is definitely far more skilled than I am. :) They make two pretty pairs of funky earrings,  no? :D

Materials: An old bracelet :D

Happy Saturday, my friends!

Sorry for the lack of new content this week. There's some new stuff coming up this week! :)

Hummingbird

So, the last post was about this beautiful Sterling Silver double infinity link that I purchased from a cool silversmith from the U.S. When I was perusing this person's exquisite creations, I couldn't resist buying something for myself too!

Here's an adorable little hummingbird pendant, which I've paired with a tiny aquamarine Swarovski bicone.

Materials: Hummingbird Charm, Aquamarine Swarovski Bicone

Double Infinity

Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.

Guess the quote. :)

In one of the tv shows that I used to love and watch regularly - Revenge - a father asks his daughter: "Do you know how much I love you? Infinity times infinity." Cheesy though it may be, the idea of loving someone so much that infinity isn't enough, that your love is bigger than an infinity, is a beautiful one. 

I made a necklace for my friend using a sterling silver double-infinity charm imported all the way from some super cool artisan in the U.S. It's not available for remakes, but I thought I'd share it anyway, coz the charm is exquisitely beautiful.

Infinity times Infinity - I love the way the two infinity symbols intertwine with each other.

Status: Not Available

Materials: Double Infinity Charm

Happy birthday my friend.

May you find one who loves you infinitely, always.

Lil Shroom | Jars of Clay Collection: Part 7

Hello everyone.

First things first -- my deepest condolences to the families of those on the MH17 flight. My heart goes out to the Malaysian Airlines employees too - two flights in such a short span of time. I can't imagine how the families and friends must be feeling. Wherever you are, say a little prayer for them, yeah? ♥

Today marks the last part of the Jars of Clay collection! 

It's something quite simple, and to me, very cute. :3 Here's a handbag charm with a charm that may look pretty familiar - 

 Yup, you guessed it - this cute lil' shroom resembles the mushroom that we all know and love so well from Super Mario. Ah, I feel nostalgic just looking at it.

 A clover link and flower link with a shiny red pearl in between, leading to the adorable mushroom charm. 

Also available in made-to-order purple and pink options, below!

Item Code & Name: 266 Lil' Shroom

Price: RM12.00

Status: 

1. Lil' Red Shroom - Not Available

Just email me at

daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com

Also, do check out the clearance sale section!

Lastly, let's all be thankful for all that we've been blessed with. Love and appreciate the people around you, as life is as temporal as it is precious, and who knows what tomorrow may bring?

Have a happy blessed weekend, my friends.

Purple Storm | Jars of Clay Collection: Part 4

Testing out this phone blogging thing. It is indeed much harder than blogging from a computer. Formatting is tough, so I'll switch to the computer later and add some photos!

Not that that was information that was relevant to any of you. :p

Part 4 of the Jars of Clay collection marks the end of the first section of this collection - accessories featuring Lun Bawang beads! Next week you'll see a bunch of accessories that are vastly different from these classy and elegant ones. :D I'm excited for those too! But for now - after the calm, Peaceful Waters before the storm - here is a Purple Storm. 

Off-white Lun Bawang beads painted with dark purple and black swirls, deep purple and jet black chinese crystal doughnuts, and lattice links.

 Accompanying the purple-swirl Lun Bawang bead are tiny metallic silver chinese crystal doughnuts.

Item Code & Name: 263 Purple Storm

Price: RM19.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available (I've run out of the black swirl Lun Bawang beads, so if you'd like this bracelet without those beads, that can be done!)

Materials: Purple & Black Swirl Lun Bawang Beads, Deep Purple, Jet Black & Metallic Silver Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Lattice Links, Toggle Clasp

Measurements: Approximately 18cm (including clasp)

See anything you like?
Email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com to order!

If you'd like to customise something, don't hesitate to email, yeah? In the meantime, check out some of the customised trinkets here!

World Cup final tonight! Germany vs Argentina - I can't wait!

Porcelain | Jars of Clay Collection: Part 1

Hi hello!

I'll try to keep today's post short because I have to sleep early because I have to get up at 4am to watch the Brazil vs Germany match and I would like to not be a zombie at work tomorrow. Haha. How's that for a run on sentence!

The first part of the Jars of Clay collection features clay beads from the Lun Bawang, part of the Orang Ulu of Sarawak. They have long been producing various handicrafts as a supplement to their income from agricultural work, and I chanced upon their booth during a handicraft market at Tropicana City Mall some time back. Naturally, I spent quite a bit of time poring over hundreds of pretty and so painstakingly handcrafted ceramic beads made using local river clay, and ended up buying lots!

Here's Porcelain, named for the clay bead's resemblance to the porcelain wares of olden days, for that specific, always recognisable cobalt "china" blue. 

 Off-white clay beads handpainted with swirls and zigzag patterns, in porcelain blue and jet black ink.

As each bead is painstakingly hand-moulded then carefully hand-painted, no one bead is identical. Of course the same patterns and rough sizes are there, but each bead is unique, thus making this bracelet all the more special. :)

Item Code & Name: 260 Porcelain

Price: RM20.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials: Blue Swirl, Black Swirl and Blue Zigzag Lun Bawang Beads, Clear Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Toggle Clasp

Measurements: Approximately 18cm (including clasp)

 This is my favourite creation from this collection, and I hope you like it too!

If you like the beads but would like to make something different for yourself, you can always email me to customise it!

G'night!

My Fair Lady

Ahoy July!

So fast these months come and go. For those who are fasting, wishing you a happy and reflective Ramadhan month. :)

Now that we're done celebrating the past with the Remix collection, it's time to showcase some new stuff! Flowers are no stranger to accessories from Dainty Little Trinkets, with 2 collections - the Dainty Little Flowers collection and the Daisies and Dahlias collection focusing on a variety of flower cabochons, and various other flower-themed trinkets (check out the flower label). In making all these accessories, I have somehow managed to not make myself anything with flower cabochons. 

Since I recently splurged on two white/cream dresses with floral motifs, I thought I'd finally make myself a bracelet featuring a flower cabochon, whimsically titled My Fair Lady:

 At the centre - an off-white dahlia on a square filigree, flanked by beads and crystals in various fair shades - ivory faux pearls, cloudy white chinese crystal doughnuts, white-striped acrylic beads, white faux pearls with gold swirls, and shiny white faux pearls.

 This bracelet was born from me digging deep into my treasure chest of beads and crystals and making a bracelet out of all the white ones. Quite happy with the result, and the plus point is it matches a lot of my outfits. :)

Item Code & Name: 257 My Fair Lady

Price: RM15.00

Status: [Sold], Not Available

Materials: Ivory, Shiny White & White (with Gold Swirls) Faux Pearls, White Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Striped White Acrylic Beads, Off-White Dahlia, Square Filigree

Measurements: Approximately 16.5cm (including clasp) + 2cm extender chain

It's available for remakes (update: not anymore! I've run out of the off-white dahlia, unfortunately), for anyone who likes. I'm running out of the striped acrylic bead though, so this is limited! 

daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com

(Who's watching Argentina vs Switzerland tonight? I certainly am!)

May July bring you lots of love, joy and adventures!

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)

1. Soft Peach Daisy - Not Available

2. Sky Blue Daisy - Made to Order

3. Translucent Peach Daisy - Made to Order

4. Light Lavender Daisy - Made to Order

5. Hot Pink Daisy - Made to Order

6. Dark Purple Daisy - Made to Order

Materials: Grey AB / Embossed White / Metallic Dark Silver Czech "Preciosa" Fire-Polished Glass Beads, Daisy Cabochon, Flower Filigree, Celtic Knot Link, Live Laugh Love Charm

** note: the Made to Order options may not contain Czech Preciosa Crystals, depending on the colour theme that you've chosen and depending on the availability of crystals in matching colours. Email me if you'd like to see how your preferred colour option will look like. :)

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

** 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.

For Ivy

So it is Sunday evening. 

As this post is being published, I am probably on a flight back from Sarawak, feeling dejected at the idea of another work week that looms ahead. Yeah yeah, enough melodrama from me, I know. :p This is not a personal blog to spring forth all my whiny complaints, I know. On to the accessories, then. :)

In yet another "look what I got you for Christmas" feature, here are a pair of earrings I made for Ivy. Like Ai Li, Ivy is no stranger to this blog - in fact, if you click on this asymmetrical tag, lots of the items there were made for her. So last Christmas, I was faced with a dilemma - what was I to make for the reigning queen of asymmetry, the champion of mismatched things, that would somehow still appeal to my anal-retentive nature and love for order?

Voila - use the same ingredients but shake up the order a little!

 Sweet lilac roses on flower filigrees, with tiny clusters of silver/purple/rosaline pearls (the rosaline pearls are somewhat invisible due to my poor photoshop skillz), and larger lilac pearls. The asymmetry adds a dash of originality and quirkiness to this sweet, demure pair of earrings - much like the owner. :p

Item Code & Name: 144 Rosy Posy

Price: RM10.00 

Status: Not Available 

Materials: Silver, Purple, Rosaline and Lilac Faux Pearls, Lilac Rose Cabochons, Flower Filigrees

Have a good week ahead, my rosy little posies.

Remember that each one of you is a unique little blossom, ready to bloom and take on the world!

(Wow does that not sound like a motivational quote gone wrong? Heehee)

For Anujah

Hurrah, it's the end of the year!

It also happens to be the birthday of my colleague and friend Anujah, who is, I think, frolicking along the pristine beaches of Batu Ferringhi at the moment. :D

Here's the bracelet and earring set I made for her -- it is in deep purple and rich burgundy tones, as she is a fan of rich, regal colours, and also quite fond of wine (or anything with alcohol ahaha). 

Crystals and pearls in various shades of purple, burgundy and black - Love in a Vineyard.

Rosalind - Customised

Hello!

I am on vacation in the land down under at the moment, so this is a scheduled post. I am not actually here. There is no spoon.

However, since I am an organised and well-prepared person (self praise is no praise, I know, I know), I have scheduled a couple of posts for the week that I am gone, so that I still have some sort of ~Internet presence during this Christmas season.

:D

Here's a customised version of the Rosalind bracelet that I posted all the way back in June. My friend Anujah wanted to make a new bracelet for her mummy out of some cultured pearls from an old bracelet. Recycling is the way to go! She wanted something simple and dainty, as you can see below:

Tiny clear and rosaline round faceted chinese crystals accompany each vintage-pink coloured pearl. 

Status: Not Available

Materials: Vintage-Pink Cultured Pearls, Clear and Rosaline Round-Faceted Chinese Crystals

Enjoy your weekend!
