The Flower Picker

I know I know, Leaf.. this is not quite the Chinese antique look you expected (neither did I expect it to look like this). I failed to source the blue and white porcelain beads you requested at the beads market (tho' once found at Etsy's supplies), so I substituted with some cloisonne.. and loads of Czech glass and crystal beads, also cat's eye stones. A silver loop connector unites the parts with a big oval Japanese tensha bead; finished off with a vintage flower toggle.

A symphony of ladylike flowers and funky bead fringes. Leaf, I hope you and your lady would treasure her as much as I do. 

*This is a special customization. One piece off, no remakes.*

Trial Run: BAGaholic

Glass and crystal beads.. never a fan of them. Thus I have used those to practice on my upcoming bracelet: BAGaholic, at the same time aiming to make it wearable alone. This tote bag, gonna be one of the charms, is now a single earring cutie. See, this is why I've got fascinated by the whole beading thing.

Swarovski crystals, faceted iron beads, sterling silver 'bag handle' connector and chain, sapphire ear-stud.

HK $80.00 (single piece, exclusive of ear-stud)
