Sea Shell Bangle in glamor style

This bangle was commissioned by a young lady for her special occassion. She was fascinated with my sea-shell-bangle and wanted to make a more glamorous  bangle with more filigrees and lots of crystals.

So here it was.... I was so happy with the out come, it looked very beautiful .

The idea of using three shell pearls was the same as the 'old' Sea Shell Bangle but using wire stitching to stitched all pearls and crystals around them really made a big different. And adding more filigree also made it looked soooo glamorous.

I hope she will like it as much as I do ... if she doesn't I wouldn't mind keeping it for myself ... =D

My first brooch

Almost a year ago I was hooked to wire jewelry and I have been making almost all kind of jewelry except brooch. I bought tutorials and I took workshop in making brooch... but still no brooch....(lol)

" Well...I guess I'm not into brooch...." that was always my excuse. But a jewelry designer should be able to make anything including brooches. After I saw Rina's final shell collection, yesterday I decided to make brooch with sea shell to make a pair with my sea shell bangle.I have to confess, the process was not as difficult as I thought. So, who wants to order brooch from me?

Look at them.... aren't they a great pair?

Sea Shell Set

My first ornate ring

Sea Shell Necklace

After I finished the bangle, I couldn't wait to make the necklace. It just felt right to make a necklace to match the bangle. I needed about 8 hours to do these because the centre bead was made with sea shell pendant I made before.

Last Saturday a friend of mine saw the finished necklace and she exclaimed : "This is definitely a TO DIE FOR necklace...."

Here, let me show you....and I want you to tell me your honest opinion...

Sea Shell Bangle

This past week I got a creative block...I didn't feel like doing anything with wire.So, what did I do ? I went to book shop browsing in the hobby section, and I was lucky to find "The Crystal Bible" by Judy Hall. Then I got a chance to meet my friend Heri and she taught me how to make pipa. Still it didn't make my creative juices flowing... and I was getting desperate. My friend Heri, Rina and Annie already made several beautiful things and it made me more desperate. Yesterday, after browsing Eni Oken's Jewelry I stumbled upon the memory treasures bracelet. I suddenly felt like making those bracelet with my sea shell beads. I spent about 10 hours and more than 14 metres of wires.I hope this will keep my creative juices flowing....
