CUSTOM XIX. (19)
a bday prezzie made for my friend! :)
nearly took my lifeforce away as it was quite difficult to make. x.x nonetheless, i persevered on & now it's completed! it looks exactly as i've imagined! :D must say that i feel accomplished after making this triple-chained (of different thickness) bracelet. it's like a breakthrough & improvement for my skills! haha! x)
1st charm - treat or treat! 2nd charm - haunted castle~ 3rd charm - martini, since she likes to party & have fun (like me) haha! :)
might be making more of this kind of bracelets should time permits me to. ;)
made up of black matte thin & thick shiny chains, gold chain, gold [exclusive] charms & fireopal swarovski crystals. :)
"Ring around the rosy, A pocket full of posies; Ashes, Ashes We all fall down!"
Posies means "small bunch of flowers, typically given as a gift". :)
thus the name for this uniquely dainty creation! :D
beautiful sparkly fairy charm, with various genuine swarovski crystals & pretty small blue flowers, in 3D!!! :D :D :D
front view :)
view from another angle :)
made up of non-tarnish silver wires from USA, sweet baby blue flowers, opal white flowers, diamonte encrusted fairy charm, capri blue, white opal, aquamarine, indicolite, peridot, zircon, pacific opal, crysolite etc genuine swarovski crystals & cream pearl.
about its design: top less wiring so as not to cover the sparkling fairy charm. blue crystals for dewdrops; green crystals for leafy grass meadows. :D
inspired by 3D necklaces from Edynae, but have hopefully added my own style to the wirings. ;)
views from other angles. :)
in real colour. :)
pendant: approx. 7cm (length) by 3.5cm (width) long necklace.
made of shiny, rodium solid butterfly, with pink dew flower attached. plus strings of chains with rose, light purple and clear swarovski crystals attached!

Yours for: $12.00as necklace. $7.80 as hp keychain. (as seen in 2nd pic)
a newly thought up idea - an adjustable necklace! :)
might be coming up with other different kinds if time allows, but this will be a stepping stone for other creations for now. ;)
made up of pewter ballerina 'top' & 'shoes', white swarovski pearls and non-tarnish rodium chain.
when it is 'worn'.
top of the assemble can be adjusted to be higher or lower. ballerina's shoes will hang down as a pendant as well. :)
another way to wear it would be to hook the top to the shoes, and make a chain necklace! :)
inspiration was from these kind of adjustable necklaces sold outside haha.. :)
the necklace can be alternatively used as a bookmark. with the top above & shoes below, & chain in between the page of the book..) like this as seen in CUSTOM XIII.:
bookmark! :)
'top' charm can be removed and used as a hp charm as well. it's up to your creativity yeaa! :D
made of gold earhooks, rose swarovski heart, gold flower charm, teddy bear charm, clear, rose and rose opal swarovski crystals, rosaline swarovski pearls.
Remakes (max. 4) are possible. but may differ from the one shown on the picture as it is difficult to replicate thr original. however, ~S.L~ will try her best to replicate it to her best ability. :)
remakes with different coloured swarovski crystals & beads are possible! :)

made up of black matte rose, gold filigree fan and gold ballerina charm, along with japanese black tensha bead with gold twirls & black anna sui mirror charm.
black anna sui mirror charm (front).
black anna sui mirror charm (back).
when hung-
drop of approx. 14cm.
only one available, no remakes.
can be made into a bag charm (gold clasp) ornecklace(black chain).
this keychain was inspired and made specially for the cause to 'Stop the Massacre of Dolphins and Whales!' (Click on the link, it'll lead to a facebook group dedicated to this cause.) disclaimer: not for the light-hearted. :x
as i only have dolphin charms, i've made this creation haha..no offence to whales at all. of course i would want neither to come to any harm! x.x
ohh, and my comp experienced some problems and i'm unable to do any photo-editing. do pardon for the poor photo quality. x(
for those looking forward to the 'glam' combi of colours in my previous customisation (for a friend), here it is! :D
made up of black hp strap, jet black, zircon genuine swarovski crystals, gold filigree ball, black swarovski heart, gold diamonte bling, gold chains and gold dolphin charm. :)
made up of black hpstrap, silver chain, lobster clasp, purple clay flower, silver handwired heart, white swarovski pearls and dark purple swarovski heart.
much thanks to the customisation (CUSTOM X.) which allowed me to explore the use of 925 sterling silver materials. :D
it is soo very much easier and malleable to twist&turn into the pretty shape you want! & it always looks perfect! what's more, it is very durable. it is really great to work with! ♥! that explains the cost of it ain't it? :(
haha..nonetheless, have used some on it on these pretty earring creations below! the diamond-shaped charm is silver too & is really, really BLING! :D
Check them out! the photos don't do them justice somehow, can't seem to capture the shine of them. haha.. Genteel = SOLD OUT :D.
~ E39 - Rosary ~
due to sweet rosy blush colour it exudes, i've decided to name it thus. :)
925 sterling earhooks are used. :)
same shiny diamond-shaped frame used! :)
as mentioned, 925 sterling silver costs more than average silver materials as it is good quality silver' & will not tarnish. suitable for pple w senstive ears! :)
made up of silver earhooks, genuine pink twisty swarovski crystals, rose, opal, light rose swarovski crystals, swarovski pearl and clear swarovski crystal teardrops.
made up of genuine pink twisty swarovski crystals, rose, light rose, opal swarovski crystals, along with white swarovski pearl and a clear swarovski teardrop.
when worn, but it will look longer than this as chain provided is abit longer. :) no remakes.
made up of special white love bead, clear rose swarovski heart and shiny-cut star charm.
ohyes. what makes hp keychain extra special? ;)
other than the unique love bead (both sides are printed & are of the same print), the bead is held up by chain, and not the usual "hooped-finding"! the swarovski heart is translucent, which means the hp keychain, even when it's flipped over, will look exactly the same both ways. :D
Ballads are simple narrative songs, or, alternatively, narrative poems suitable for singing. :)
"She gave her impulse to the dancing Hours, To winds that sweep, to stars that noiseless turn; She marked the measure rapid hearts must keep Devised each pace that glancing feet should learn." - Julia Ward Howe
I enjoy ballads. They each unfolds a story, though at times whimsical, to audiences and the music complimenting it makes the story flow smoothly. Now, don't you love them too? ;)

BUT! feel free to email me regarding your orders, and i'll check my mail after my work.
Customers with the word 'Confirm!' in their email subject head will have priority over those who don't, and now worries, enquiries are welcome as well! :) All items will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. while stocks lasts too. haha xp
By the way, some very important announcements:
1) As material prices are increasing, and unfortunately, the bulk of the increase in cost will fall on you, the consumers. :( but not to worry! prices will not increase by leaps and bounds haha! only by a few dollars and cents. :p
p.s: have gone around and seen mass-produced necklace with a single swarovski crystal costing at least $10. so i believe my pricing is somewhat reasonable. :)
oh yes. i ensure you that prices for keychains, bracelets and earrings will remain below $30. unless it's a complicated and one which uses a lot of materials to make. otherwise, yups. :)
2) Any discounts scheme will not be applicable to customisations.
3) I'll be adhering more strictly to my pricing system on my Customisation Page as customisations requires abit more of my time compared to my handmade items. i seek your understanding on this. :)
4) [OVER!] And good news! in conjunction with GSS, there'll be * FREE NORMAL POSTAGE for all items! :D * not applicable to remakes or customisations. new items - have! :D [OVER!]
