Friday, April 4th, 2008

Handmade stuff always captivate me, whether it’s made of sterling silver, fused glass, recycled metals, wool, scraps of fabric, gemstones..etc.  I came to know about the works of Simone Walsh via Moose: Art for Living and this cool gal specializes in a variety of metalwork techniques, including often very detailed sawpiercing, etching, repousse, casting and [...]

charm for life bracelet

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I’m not one of those who replenish new issues of women publications on a monthly basis. As a believer of saving the trees, I have opted to read fashion news online and an occasional purchase of a magazine when I need to keep myself occupied on a vacation. I get my printed fashion news when [...]

handcrafted jewelry by freshie

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

If you want to read about child entrepreneurship, read about how Freshie & Zero founder, Bethie, started making and selling jewelry at the age of 10.

drop earrings and more

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I can get very fussy when it comes to choosing a pair of earrings. Personally, I like to keep my earrings simple and elegant. Due to the hassle of removing and changing earrings, I have two pairs of diamond post earrings all year round. As much as I like drop earrings for special occasions, I [...]

jade bracelets

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

This is a pretty jade bracelet that catches my attention. I’m one of those who used to think that jade is suitable for the older people since I often see it worn on mid-age women and grannies. But seriously, jade is a very pretty stone and all it takes is a good designer to bring [...]

pearl paradise

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Almost every woman would have at least a garland of pearl necklace, bracelet or a pair of pearl earrings in her jewelry box. I must confess that I was never a big fan of pearls until a good friend started shopping for her pair of freshwater pearls for her wedding. She looked so gorgeous and [...]
