Moving …
I’ve decided to move my blog to blesgems.blogspot.com so do look for me there!! I’ll try my best to get it up and running as soon as possible!!
Never knew running a blog could be so timeconsuming.
Anyway, some of the stuff on this blog may still be available, so feel free to email me about it!

Japanese Series
Sorry for not posting for such a long time. Life has been rather bumpy lately!
Anyway, I just bought quite a few lovely Japanese type pendants – rather nice sets – I love the colour combinations!
Do keep your eyes peeled!

Fun with Red Lanterns
![]()
Price: SGD 17.50
I was having a lot of fun making this pair because there was quite some colour matching to be done, letting the shades of red move from dark red to pink. The crystals are flanked by a white bead each, making them look a bit like Chinese lanterns.
Quite a hot favourite among regular customers. For weekend wear or with Indian-style clothing.

Pink Summer
![]()
Price: SGD 17.90
One of my first pieces, Pink Summer has a refreshing combination of pink and green, the pair of colours one thinks of in connection with spring and summer.
The purple crystal accentuates the pink, and the freshwater pearl (it’s not round) adds that touch of class to the mix.

Garden Angel Handphone Charm
![]()
Price: SGD22.90
One of the prettiest pictures in the angel collection! I put it on a black and white background so tht the difference can be seen.
This garden angel has a gown with blue and green, and has purple wings. It is seen holding a clay flower, though it can be substituted with other items.

Porcelain Blue Rose
Price: SGD 17.90
This is the sister of Misty Blue Rose – almost the same design, but with a different tensha bead.
What’s the difference, you might ask? The background of this is opaque, giving it a porcelain effect. The gold highlights can be seen clearly. The porcelain and antique setting complement each other to achieve the antique jewellery effect. The intricate bead cap at the base and top of the tensha bead take this effect one step further.
The colour combination is pleasant, and this design goes well with dresses (casual or formal) or just jeans! Very elegant and European looking.
You won’t regret buying this!
[Other cousins (different rose colours) are also available, but subject to stock.]

Orange Galore
![]()
Price: SGD 16.90
For the orange lover, this pair of earrings is O-R-A-N-G-E from top to bottom, from the orange-red hue of the crystals to the OJ-gold colour of the painted pearl which forms the centrepiece of the earrings.
The photo again does not do justice to the actual earrings but there are flowers painted on the pearls themselves on each earring. The bold contrast between the orange and green crystals is eye-catching too, and its setting on copper (or antique, you can choose) gives it a lovely antique finish.

New Year Goodies
![]()
Price: SGD 16.90
Now that Christmas is over, the new year is coming, and what better way to welcome it than with a new pair of earrings in your collection? This pair is very festive looking and is actually suitable for both Christmas (next year?), new year, Valentine’s Day and all other big occasions, so it’s a pretty worthwhile buy!
The gold/silver/red centrepiece of this earring hails from Europe, while the white cube is agate and the red cube below is coral. Pretty good value for money with all those materials!
Not too long, won’t get in one’s way at work. Very comfortable.

Spring Morning – Orange
![]()
Price: SGD 12.90
This is another of my favourites, because it is so simple yet so pretty. The cheerful shade of the bright coloured roses and the sheen of the coppery pearls are like a spring morning which is not quite fully bright yet …
Perfect for wearing with dresses or just jeans. Suitable for both short and long-haired gals. I think any hair colour would be nice with this pair!!
This is part of a series, look out for the pink/white, blue cousins too!

Tulip – Handphone, Bag charm, or Keychain
![]()
Price: SGD 29.90
This is the most versatile piece in my collection at the moment. It can be a handphone charm, a keychain or a bag charm. (Please decide which one you want it as, and I will customise it for you.)
This tulip is made up of crystal, and comes with three butterflies around it. In the picture above you can only see two, sorry about that! The third one is directly above the top of the flower, blocked by the petals in this picture.
I try to be realistic so at the moment this design comes in red-orange, pink (as per picture – it’s a lot sweeter looking than that, the picture is dark), and blue. If you want it in other colours such as purple I can try to do the best possible one for you.
The strap in this picture is pink because the flower is pink, but I can change the colour to match the flower, don’t worry! Just let me know your preference too.
*** Experiments for this design in a size larger are underway, will let you all know the results when it’s done!
Order format:
Colour: Pink, Orange-red, Blue (if others please specify)
Format: Bag charm, keychain or handphone charm
Butterfly colour: Depends on availability – or I can match them for you if you have no preference — in stock: pale yellow, pink, brown, dark brown, light brown, purple, transparent, pale blue.
Strap colour: Blue, black, pink, silver.
