Inspiration 8 - Simple and Sweet

This bracelet I made for my boss as I copy the design from her. I like the design, simple and sweet. As she got a rose and light rose combination, decided to make a green tone .... so I put together the olivine and light olivine combination.








This blue combination is a gift for Cheryl, a lovely lady from Atlanta, USA. She is here in Malaysia working on a project. She had helped me a lot by getting some beading tools and gorgeous loose beads, findings from Atlanta. Thank you, girlfriend.

Inspiration 7 - Enhanced skills

Thanks to my sisters I am able to enhance my skills and creativity. They like all the fancy and dazzling designs, compare to me I like the simple design. This is the latest that I make for my youngest sister.



This is the one I put together for my eldest sister. The loose crystals bought by her husband in Sabah.



And this is what I had made for myself. Using 4mm bicone. The width of the bracelets is only about 10mm.

Inspiration - How I got started

This craze in making jewellery(bracelets in specific) all started when my sister gave me a beautiful swarovski bracelets as a Hari Raya present.



At that point of time I also got some spare time with me as I just completed a very stressful project. Trying to find a de-stresser and looking at the crystal bracelet..I knew then ... that is going to be my de-stresser. I started my research on the internet on jewellery making, buying crystal/beading books/magazine and looking for where to get the loose material.




My very first creation is using top-drilled 6301 swarovski crystal.The crystal bought through a family friend in Kota Kinabalu.








This is my second output, bracelets from cherry quartz gemstone chips.
