For Li-Sha

Yesterday, the baby of the office, Li-Sha, turned 24!

Oh so young!

Probably giving away my age here. :p

Li-Sha has this skirt in the colour of bright, cobalt blue that she likes to wear often, and so I made her this pair of earrings to match. Wishing you a blessed birthday, young padawan (and now I sound like Obi Wan Kenobi). 

 Round-faceted crystals in shades of frosty and cobalt blue cascade down a chain, ending with light sapphire crystal teardrops.

Item Code & Name: 248 Ultramarine

Price: RM12.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Frosty Blue & Cobalt Blue Round-Faceted Chinese Crystals, Light Sapphire Chinese Crystal Teardrops

If you like the teardrop-shaped crystals (they're favourites of mine as well!), check out this following link, as well as these 2 with the "cascading crystal" effect - Every Teardrop is a Waterfall / Pretty Pastels. :)

Happy Monday, y'all. <3

Sunday Stylefile #3

Happy Sunday!

Our monthly Sunday Stylefile is back again... this time with a tinge of green. 

For some reason, green isn't that popular a colour for accessories, with most people sticking to sweet shades of pink and purple, or glamorous shades of black, red and gold. So, I thought it would be good to give the underdog some focus. After all, we are surrounded by all that is green, and it is what sustains our environment.

Today's stylefile will focus on the Fasten You to Me necklace, a simple asymmetrical necklace with a gorgeously intricate Tree pendant, and crystals in shades of green and clover links on one side of the chain. 

The very mild green tones on the crystals could complement many types of dresses, but I've matched the necklace with the following 3 dresses that are in different shades of green.

On the left, the figure-hugging, confidence-boosting Teal Green Bodycon Dress from Emcee Couture.
In the middle, look professional, chic and elegant in this Dark Teal Boatneck Executive Dress from Dressabelle.
On the right, perfect for a garden wedding or a day out in the sun, the Blue/Green Paisley Print Flare Dress from Whitesoot.

*Disclaimer* I own not the images above, they are from the sites that I have credited. 

Click on the links to go buy them pretty dresses and dress them up a little with this pretty necklace. More pictures here :D

Originally at RM18, the necklace will be 10% off in the month of June - RM16.20 (let's round that off to RM16)! :)

Happy Sunday and have a good rest-of-the-week.

I'll end this post with a song from Kermit -

It's not easy being green...

 

*heehee*

Burgundy Bliss

Short post ahoy, as I am busy planning another holiday!

That's right - just back from one and already planning another. :D This one is far away - I'll be travelling to Osaka / Kyoto in early 2015! Can't hardly wait. On that note, AirAsia has some really good deals right now - go forth and travel the world!

This post is dedicated to my mummy. She has a lovely burgundy dress that she'll be wearing to yet another one of my brother's graduations. Of course I had to make her a matching bracelet. :) Here, in shades of dusty purple and burgundy, is Burgundy Bliss:

A bracelet of faux pearls in shades of burgundy and dusty purple, celtic heart beads, and a flower filigree as the focal point.

 This is the first time a (Dainty Little) trinket is featuring dusty purple faux pearls. I love this shade and it goes so very well with burgundy. Lovers of purple - this bracelet is for you!

Item Code & Name: 247 Burgundy Bliss

Price: RM15.00

Status: [Sold], Available for remakes

Materials: Burgundy & Dusty Purple Faux Pearls, Celtic Heart Beads, Flower Filigree

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

 All orders are customisable, just email me at

Now back to planning my holiday.

Osaka is known for takoyaki, okonomiyaki, kushikatsu, YUMMM.

Crimson Butterfly

I'm baaaaaack!

Not that you noticed me missing. :p

But yes, I'm back, with a couple of blisters on my feet from traipsing through Singapore's botanical gardens in heels for the bridal party photoshoot (being a bridesmaid is tough stuff yo!), and with a heart full of looooove (Les Mis song reference yo!), and as verbose as ever (evidently). Beautiful, beautiful wedding, and I am so blessed to see my friend so happy. :) ♥

Today's post is something I made for meself. Red and black is a timeless colour combination - they go together like milk and cookies, burgers and fries, bacon and eggs. In all of the red and black accessories I have made (check out some here!), I came to the grave realisation that I didn't make any for myself. That is of course an oversight that had to be rectified.

So here you have one of my favourite colour combinations, with some of my favourite new beads and crystals, and with one of my favourite charms - the Crimson Butterfly -

 A single butterfly charm flanked by crystals doughnuts in an opaque crimson red and black faux pearls with gold and silver swirls, interspersed with dainty maroon faux pearls.

 This bracelet has a combination of all of my favourites from my recent bead binge-shopping expedition. I partiularly love the black faux pearls with gold and silver swirls. They are the tinier versions of the same pearls that have appeared in this Moulin Rouge set.

Item Code & Name: 246 Crimson Butterfly

Price: RM15.00

Status: Available for remakes

Materials: Black Faux Pearls with Gold and Silver Swirls, Maroon Faux Pearls, Opaque Red Chinese Crystal Doughnuts, Butterfly Charm

Measurements: Approximately 15.5cm (including clasp) + 2cm extender chain

Customisation is possible!

Spotlight - Nature

Hola amigos!

I'm still on vacation, so this is a scheduled post!

Ah, mother earth. What a wonderful world - and how beautiful is God's creation that is all around us. Sometimes when I pause to think about it, I am in awe of the intricacies of each living thing, of each breathtakingly beautiful sunset, of the mystery and magnificence of the ocean, of the roots and origins of each tall tree. Nature is truly wondersome, and here are some pieces that I have made in the past in tribute to it:

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

 Under the Sea (RM22)

 Fasten You To Me (RM18)

 Autumn in My Heart (RM18)

Pocahontas (RM20)

Are you a nature-lover? Want something to wear that represents your love for the environment? 

Email me at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com to order!

Still on vacation, but will be back soon.

See you soon. :)

Spotlight - Teardrops

"He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar..." croons one Taylor Swift.

You say teardrops and that song immediately comes to mind. How's that for branding eh? The teardrops I will be blathering on about today are not of human origin, but crystal teardrops beautifully and meticulously crafted by machines - sparkling, multifaceted, elegant and alluring... (I could go on)

(Hello, if you have just chanced upon my humble blog. Stay and shop for a while, if you'd like. :) I'm actually on vacay right now, and this is part of a short series of posts that cast a spotlight on a particular theme  - today's being teardrops! I'm also slightly ever-so rambly and eccentricquirky, if you find that kinda thing amusing. :p)

So, teardrops.
I love them, and I love using them in my accessories.
They just have a certain je ne sais quoi about them.

Here are some previous creations featuring teardrops (click on the names for the original posts):

 Nightingale (RM28)

 Pretty Pastels (RM15)

 Love in a Vineyard (RM12)

Interwoven (RM12 each)

Ah, I just love them.

If you love them too, you can always order them or customise something unique for yourself!

Spotlight - Swarovski Hearts

Hello dear readers!

This is a scheduled post as I am in Singapore at the moment. :)

I've prepared a short series of posts that kinda cast a "spotlight" on a particular theme. Today's theme is Swarovski hearts!

I've not come across anyone who does not love these tiny, faceted hearts that glitter and sparkle and accentuate every little trinket. I love them in allllll the colours, and have featured them quite liberally throughout my creations. Here are some:

 (Click on the accessory names to be directed to the original post of these accessories!)

 Arielle (RM21)

 Je t'aime (RM18)

 Clair de Lune (RM22)

Moulin Rouge (Set: RM50)

From top to bottom, the colour of the featured Swarovski hearts are: Rose, Light Amethyst, Bermuda Blue, and Red. ♥♥♥

If any of the above have caught your eye. you can order them at daintylittletrinkets@gmail.com.

If you're as in love with these hearts as I am, do remember that you can consider customising something for yourself! Just email me and we can begin discussing how to make your ideas a reality.

Replies may be slow as I am out of the country and without wifi a lot of the time (plus there's the whole being a dutiful bridesmaid thing), so I apologise in advance.

For Ai Li

Short post ahoy!

It's late at night, I haven't packed yet, and my flight is tomorrow morning! Oh noes! So yes, this will be short. Hopefully.

Tonight's post is an early birthday greeting to my pal Ai Li who has been ever supportive of my "creative" endeavours and is turning 26 in a couple of days! I previously gifted her with this pair of pastel-toned earrings, so here's a double-chained necklace to match. :)

 A Swarovski affair - on the inner chain - rose, aquamarine and violet Swarovski bicones and a cross charm. On the outer chain - an exquisite rose Swarovski heart.

 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
