Jade Butterflies | Bold & Brassy Collection: Part 4

This post is a scheduled post, as I am in Penang for the weekend!

Yet another one of my (many) cousins is tying the knot, and since all my extended family lives up north, up to the north we go! 一路向北, as Jay Chou would put it. Haha. Anyway, that is neither here nor there. I need to learn to be less verbose!

Here's the 4th installment of the Bold & Brassy collection - Jade Butterflies.

Antique brass butterfly links with a gradient of faux pearls in pale green, teal and moss-green. I am loving the shine on these uniquely-coloured faux pearls! I had previously bought these very butterfly links in silver, but supplies on that are running low. So here's the brass equivalent! :)

Item Code & Name: 311 Jade Butterflies

Price: RM8.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Pale Green, Teal Green and Moss Green Faux Pearls, Antique Brass-Plated Butterfly Links

That's all for now, friends.

Hope you have a great weekend ahead!

Birds Atwitter | Bold & Brassy Collection: Part 2

Second in the Bold & Brassy collection is a pair of earrings!

I've always loved using various bird-related beads and charms in my creations, which you can see some of here, here and here! :) So when I expanded my collection of beads and charms and pretty things (heehee) to include antique brass items, I of course had to buy at least one bird-related charm!

I really love this charm - it's cute, dainty and slightly whimsical - here's Birds Atwitter -

 Two adorable little bird charms (looking quite like the Twitter logo), with dangling faux pearls in a gradient of sweet pink, dusty pink and dusty purple - the ombré effect lasting from the last collection to this one!

Item Code & Name: 309 Birds Atwitter

Price: RM9.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Sweet Pink, Dusty Pink and Dusty Purple Faux Pearls, Antique Brass-Plated Bird Charm

That's all for tonight - hope you like this cute and quirky creation, :)

Celtic Frost | Ombré Collection: Part 5

As the saying goes,

all good things must come to an end.

We have reached the last post of the Ombré Collection, which features a pair of earrings that I rather fond of, and would rather like to keep for myself (but am choosing to sell because I have far too many earrings and only one pair of ears and only 365 days in a year to wear them all). 

Celtic-themed beads and links are no stranger to this little site of mine. We've seen creations featuring celtic hearts (here, here and here!) and celtic flowers (here and here) and now it's time to introduce a new type of bead - a diagonal square bead with celtic patterns that resemble flowers:

 Dainty celtic-patterned diagonal square beads amidst chinese crystal doughnuts in lovely frosted / opaque tones - frosted blue (making their first appearance in a Dainty Little Trinket), air blue opal and aqua blue opal.

Item Code & Name: 300 Celtic Hearts

Price: RM8.00

Status: Available

Materials: Frosted Blue / Air Blue Opal / Aqua Blue Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Celtic Diagonal Square Beads

If you fancy adding a pair of cool and frosted earrings to your collection, just drop me an email at

daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com!

 And that, my friends, is the end of this collection.

I'm excited about the stuff that's coming up - stay tuned for more as we fast approach the end of the year!

I'll leave you with a song that has been tugging at my heartstrings and playing in an endless melancholy litany in my head - High Hopes by Kodaline.

 But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, when it all comes to an end
But the world keeps spinning around

Fuchsia Fusion | Ombré Collection: Part 4

Hello, my friends.

I hope the weekend has been treating you well!

We are nearing the end of the Ombré Collection. Hope you've been enjoying yourselves so far. Part 4 of this collection of pretty colour gradients is a bracelet - it's been far too long since this blog featured a bracelet. I've named this trinket Fuchsia Fusion because fuchsia is a vivid purple-red colour, named after a pretty genus of flowering plants, and because the word "fusion" implies that the colours are fusing with each other, which fits this collection's theme nicely. ❀

 Picture time!

 A bracelet with a fusion of vivid, rich colours, with the particularly-striking ruby red faux pearls flanking the antique silver-plated daisy charm at the focal point.

 Am loving this particular gradient of ruby red --> magenta --> burgundy --> plum --> dusty purple

Item Code & Name: 299 Fuchsia Fusion

Price: RM15.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials:  Ruby Red / Magenta / Burgundy / Plum / Dusty Purple Faux Pearls, Daisy Charms

Measurements: Approximately 17.5cm (including clasp) + 2.5cm extender chain

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

daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com !

Fun fact: did you know that you can browse this site according to colour? To your right, there are many useful labels, among which is a "shop by colour" function. So if you're looking for something specific, just browse those labels and click away!

If you like the colours in this bracelet, check out the
burgundy, purple and red labels. :)

Indigo Hearts | Ombré Collection: Part 3

Merah, Jingga, Kuning, Hijau, Biru, Indigo, Ungu.

As kids growing up in Malaysian government schools, this is how we learned the colours of the rainbow. Our teachers even taught us to memorise the order of the colours using the phrase "Michael Jackson Killed His Brother In USA". Heh. Notice in the list of colours translated into Malay, that Indigo is the only one that wasn't translated? Guess it's not common enough a colour to warrant creating a new word. :p

Indigo is generally regarded as the colour between blue and violet, and is thus an apt name for the following pair of earrings in a gradient of purple to blue. :)

 Dainty celtic heart beads amidst round-faceted chinese crystals of lavender, violet and sapphire blue. The violet crystals (below the hearts) are particularly interesting, as they look blue and purple under different lighting.

​Item Code & Name: 298 Indigo Hearts

Price: RM9.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Lavender, Violet & Sapphire Blue Round-Faceted Chinese Crystals, Celtic Heart Beads

Olive Grove | Ombré Collection: Part 2

It's Deepavali tomorrow! Yay public holiday, and wishing all who celebrate a wonderful and warm Festival of Lights celebration. :)

Now, onto the 2nd part of the Ombré collection!

When I was young(er), I went on a road trip with my friends to the United States, and spent 2 weeks travelling around the California / Arizona region. In Los Angeles, we ate at this restaurant called Olive Garden, which has a garlic shrimp linguine that I crave to this day. We also went to this mall called The Grove, where we saw Sandra Oh (of Grey's Anatomy fame!). What is the point of me telling you all this? There is none, except for the fact that I am a sentimental fool and I like rambling, and today's trinket's name happens to be a combination of those two experiences - Olive Grove​

 A bookmark with crystals in a gradient of green shades, and a tree charm. Let's pretend this is an olive tree, and imagine that this symbolises a grove of olive trees.

.

Item Code & Name: 297 Olive Grove
Price: RM13.00
Status: [Sold 2], Available for remakes
Materials: Light Green, Forest Green and Olive Green Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Tree Charm

This new bookmark is daintier than the previously featured bookmarks, and also more affordable than the previous engraved ones. So if you're a fan of simpler / smaller designs - here's something you can order! :)

Here's how you order! ​

Good night and see you soon for the third instalment of the Ombré collection - Indigo Hearts.

Cyan Blooms | Ombré Collection: Part 1

Fun fact:

Cyan is one of the colours in the colour model for many printers/photocopiers (CMYK: cyan, magenta, yellow, key (black)). Why do you need this information in your head? Knowledge is power, yo. Or something. :p

Part 1 of the Ombré Collection kicks off with a blue --> green gradient. This gradient is not as... gradual as some of the others in the collection, but I still think it's a pretty gradient anyway. (I claim artistic license! I can call it ombré if I want to! :p) It also has the added bonus of being asymmetrical.

 A pair of bright and cheery earrings, where turquoise gradates into lime green and vice versa, through the cyan/teal tones of the little roses on silver flower filigrees.

Item Code & Name: 296 Cyan Blooms

Price: RM9.00

Status: Available

Materials: Shiny Turquoise / Lime Green Faux Pearls, Cyan/Teal Rose Cabochons, Flower Filigrees

Someone quickly purchase this before I decide to keep it for myself! :p

Should you wanna make this your own, just email me at

daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com

If you like flowers, check out more dainty trinkets with flowers here!

If you like asymmetry, check out some asymmetrical trinkets here!

That's it for tonight - here's wishing you a wonderful week ahead. I am looking forward to Wednesday - Deepavali!

Ombré - Collection Masterpost

Derived from the French word ombrer and the Latin word umbra is the word ombré, which has been all the rage with the hairstyling community lately, and looks like a trend that is here to stay.

Ah, colour gradients. Who doesn't love it when various shades of the same colour blend so prettily with each other, or when one colour gradates so seamlessly into the next. Loving ombré designs like I do, I of course had to make an entire collection dedicated to pretty colour gradients. :)

Inspiration for this collection comes from the Ombré earrings from the La Perla collection - my first attempt at making accessories with colour gradients. Here, have a pretty graphic:

And this "celebration" of colour gradients shall begin tomorrow, my friends, so stay tuned! 

Part 1: Cyan Blooms

Part 2: Olive Grove

Part 3: Indigo Hearts

Part 4: Fuchsia Fusion

Part 5: Celtic Frost

See you Sunday!
