Frosted Hearts - Customised

Relatively short post coz it's late! :D

My friend Ai Li is no stranger to this blog, and now makes a reappearance in the pair of earrings that she recently customised. She really liked the pretty crystal doughnuts that I recently featured in this pair of earrings, you see, and wanted me to customise something with them.

Here's Frosted Hearts -

 Chinese crystal doughnuts of the opal/frosted variety - soft and sweet shades of white opal, rose opal and lavender opal, with celtic heart beads. The white opal crystals are almost invisible in the picture above (largely due to my lack of photoshop skillz), so the picture below is against a silver background for clearer viewing.

Item Code & Name: 388 Frosted Hearts

Price: RM8.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: White Opal / Rose Opal / Lavender Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Celtic Heart Beads

So if you're looking for a demure and sweet pair of earrings, look no further!

Opalline

Hi folks!

I'm excited about this post as it's the first to feature beads from Bangkok! So after braving the scorching and sweltering and crawl-out-of-your-skin and douse-yourself-in-icecubes heat of Chatuchak, I found the section and lanes that sold beads! Row after row of semi-precious stones and crystals and beads. *___* Being the fine example of self-control that I am, I limited myself to a few choice purchases. 

Here's the first, named opalline, as it features chinese crystal doughnuts in pretty opal shades. 

 I've not been able to find these shades here -- rose opal and lavender opal chinese crystal doughnuts, coupled with my favourite clover links and cutesy rose charms. Absolutely adoreee the cloudy opal shades of these crystals.

Item Code & Name: 383 Opalline

Price: RM8.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Rose Opal / Lavender Opal Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Clover Links, Rose Charms

If you like these lovely frosted shades, order a remake of this or customise something with them. 

All you gotta do is email me at

Now excuse me while I go stare at my beads for a while. :D Adieu!

Garden Blossoms - Customised

 Happy Thursday!

Sometimes, my customers come up with the best ideas. :) When my well of ideas runs dry, they manage to dream up ideas that look much prettier than what I could've envisioned. :D Crowd-sourcing, yo!

Melanie, who is a necklace enthusiast, really liked the gorgeous magenta flower ceramic bead from this necklace. She wanted it combined with faux pearls, and after a few revisions, we incorporated the lovely Believe ring and this is the result!

Faux pearls in an almost-ombre sequence of sweet pink, dusty pink and maroon, and a ceramic bead with magenta blossoms dangling from a Believe ring.

The antique brass links and chain complement the pink/purple/red tones of this necklace.

 

Item Code & Name: 381 Garden Blossoms
Price: RM22.00
Status: [Sold], Available for Remakes
Materials: Sweet Pink, Dusty Pink & Maroon Faux Pearls, Believe Ring, Magenta-Flower Ceramic Bead
Measurements: Approximately 43.5cm (including clasp), extender = 5cm

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).

Item Code & Name: 375 Amulette (Rose)
Price: RM31.00

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!

Happy weekend, my dear readers! Go revel in it!

Interlinked - Customised

Way back when, I posted this pair of earrings by the name of Interlinked - fairly simple in design, with chinese knot links and crystal teardrops. :)

Melanie, who customised a bunch of necklaces that shall soon be featured on this blog, wanted this to be made into a simple and classy necklace. So here you have it - the necklace version of Interlinked -

 A chinese knot link attached to a burgundy chinese crystal teardrop for a pendant, with little heart links and purple round-faceted chinese crystals that fall at the clavicle.

 Chinese crystal teardrops make for good pendants.

Amethyst Medley

Sisters are doin' it for themselves!

*attempts to groove around like I got soul* 

I ain't got no RnB soul, unfortunately. Can't dance, can't groove to save my life.

Anywaaay, there was actually a point I was trying to make. Today's post features 3 bracelets that were made for 3 sisters! To be very specific, they were made for my 3 aunties, who are all strong admirable women worth looking up to. 

Once upon a time, about 2 months ago, my youngest aunty saw my mummy wear the first bracelet I ever made for her (click here!) and liked it quite a bit. At the urging of my mummy, and also because I recently acquired some lovely semi-precious Amethyst beads, I decided to make my 3 aunties matching bracelets! I quite like the similar yet slightly varied bracelets -

A medley of amethyst-themed bracelets, with silver and dark silver faux pearls, and faux pearls with different shades of purple. All fixed with a heart clasp, and capped off at the end with a Made with Love charm.

Item Code & Name: SET041 Amethyst Medley

Price: RM67.00 (3 bracelets) - items can be sold separately, please look below.

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Please see below.

 Soft lilac faux pearls mixed in with shades of silver, all paired with the lovely amethyst beads. This is my favourite.

Item Code & Name: 361 Amethyst Medley (Lilac)

Price: RM24.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Lilac, Silver and Dark Silver Faux Pearls, Amethyst Beads, Heart Clasp, Made with Love Charm
Measurements: Approximately 17.5cm (including clasp) + 2.5cm extender chain

 This is the dusty purple version of the bracelet, for a more elegant and refined look.

Item Code & Name: 362 Amethyst Medley (Dusty Purple)

Price: RM24.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Dusty Purple, Silver and Dark Silver Faux Pearls, Amethyst Beads, Heart Clasp, Made with Love Charm
Measurements: Approximately 17.5cm (including clasp) + 2.5cm extender chain

Burgundy faux pearls that add a striking dash of colour to the bracelet. This is the feistiest of the lot. 

Item Code & Name: 363 Amethyst Medley (Burgundy)

Price: RM24.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Burgundy, Silver and Dark Silver Faux Pearls, Amethyst Beads, Heart Clasp, Made with Love Charm

So, whether you'd like to purchase a set of 3 for you and your sisters / you and your sisters from another mother / just something for yourself, go to town! There's something for everyone! :)

Here's how you order!

Spotlight - Double-Chained

Yo yo yo!

 

This is probably the most ghetto my blog has ever been, bro!

Haha, if you're wondering whether I've lost my mind, the answer is no. My mind was lost a long long time ago. :p If you're wondering what possessed me to post a picture of 2 Chainz (is that actually 2 Chainz? I have no idea. Is his name two-chains or two-chainz or 2-chainz?)... well, in this picture, 2 chainz/two-chains/two-chainz is indeed wearing two chains. Two very bling, very in-your-face gold chains. Which brings me to today's spotlight post - double-chained trinkets!

(I know, I know, my mind works in mysterious ways). 

Here are some much less bling and IMHO daintier and prettier two-chained trinkets - click on the name of the trinket to go to the original posts!)

 Dusty Spring (RM16)

 Vintage Romance (RM20)

 Mystique (RM20)

Where Your Treasure Is (RM32)

So if you'd fancy some two-chainz for yourself, dawg, just hit me up at

(In Japan right now, so replies may take a few days, depending on whether or not I have internet!)

Butterfly Kisses - Customised

Does anyone remember the song Butterfly Kisses?

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair;
"Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning And butterfly kisses at night.

Today's post doesn't actually have that much to do with the song, except that they share the same name. :p My friend and colleague Kim asked me to customise a purple butterfly-themed set for our fellow friend and colleague Brenda, so I came up with this bracelet-necklace-earring set, in sweet shades of purple. 

Butterfly kisses - a set in various shades of purple, with butterfly charms and heart links.

Price: RM48.00 (bracelet + earrings + necklace) - items can be sold separately, please look below.

Wine Blossoms

Hello dear readers!

This shall be a short post because I am in the midst of planning for my trip to Japan (one month to go!) and it is quite late already and tomorrow is the start of a loooooong work week. /whine

Anyway, this is the part where I start featuring all the Christmas gifts that I gave to my friends during Christmas!

First is something I made for Wei Lyn, which is probably my favourite Christmas gift that I've given, largely because I adore the magenta-flower ceramic beads that this pair of earrings feature:

Spotlight - Christmas

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
Christmas is all around me and so the feeling grows
It's written in the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love Christmas c'mon and let it snow

Does anyone else love this hilariously Christmassy song from Love Actually? Also, Love Actually - one of the classics for Christmas, and one of the romantic comedy classics of our generation. :)

 Soooo I'm still on holiday, but since Christmas is just around the corner, this is a spotlight post that casts some bright wintry light on some of the Christmassy creations from Dainty Little Trinkets!

 (The names of each trinket link to the original posts!)

 Winter Wonderland (RM23)

 Poinsettia (RM18)

 Anna (RM18)

I'll leave you with the Love Actually scene where Christmas is All Around is being recorded (excuse the swearing, hehe). :)

Spotlight - Colourful Clay

You know the drill -

I am still on vacation and this is a scheduled post!

Today's spotlight post will feature all things made from polymer clay!

First, have a pretty colourful picture:

Isn't it amazing, the kinds of things humans can craft from clay? There is truly no limit to creativity (well, there's a limit to mine, but not some other creative souls). Aside from colourful clay jars and all sorts of beautiful decorative items, polymer clay has been used by all sorts of arty farty people to create gorgeous little charms and beads. 

Over the course of this year, I've purchased quite a lot of beautiful clay charms and beads, so here are some accessories featuring them (click on the names to go to the original posts for more pictures)!

 I Believe (RM22)

 Porcelain (RM20)

 Le Petit Macaron (RM18)

 Lil' Shroom (RM12)

How adorable are those mushrooms above, yeah?

So go forth and browse and email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com to purchase stuff!

I'm still on vacation, so email responses may take a few days, so please bear with me yeah.
