Handcrafted Beads Jewellery Birthday Gift

I chose these Swarovski components for the special custom order from my friend. This is a birthday gift for her daughter. She purchased a white gold necklace chain before. She ordered me something nice for it. I suggested her to use Swarovski chandelier components STRASS #8721.
Don't you think simple is best?
Swarovski #8721 is pretty large drop and Blue Aurora Borealis is very sparkly. I think design should be simple for using the component like this. She liked my idea. I also chose Swarovski #5000. Here is the custom ordered necklace top, special birthday gift from the mother to the daughter.
Look at the beaded clasp on Swarovski #8721. I like this way more than putting a jump ring directly through the component's hole.
It shows the handcrafted detail and avoid to scratch on the surface as well.

Angel Chandelier

This is my angel and my little chandelier as well. It's been giving sparkle to my living room since last December. I had a hanging plant on the same spot before. Unfortunately plant didn't grow well because doesn't get enough light at that corner. I decided hang a decoration instead of a plant.
I got this angel ornament when I was shopping for Christmas. An idea flashed on me when I was looking at that sit on the shelf.
It might looks good if it hang from the ceiling like an angel watching over from the heaven. I picked colour Blue AB of Swarovski chandelier component "Baroque".
I hung larger "Baroque" (50×35mm) from the top inside of the angel then added six smaller "Baroque" (38×27mm) around it. I also put "Briolette" drop beads on both wing and "Briolette" faceted roundelle beads on the top.

I really liked the result. I couldn't stop looking at my angel for a while... even now I'm still following its sparkle sometime.

NEW! item - Purse Charm/Glasses Holder

This new item purse charm/glasses holder is made for my friend Mayumi.

She got an idea when she was looking at some of my purse charms and glasses holders. She chose one and asked me "Is this purse charm able to change to a glasses holder?" Yes! Almost everything is possible handmade by me!! I added a ring parts which holds glasses to that purse charm then added some more chains and beads to spiced up. Actually it is a great idea. The glasses holder doesn't have to be a way used to be. (wearing around your neck) It's okay to hold glasses anywhere you want.
Thank you Mayumi for giving me the new design idea.

Purse Charm + Glasses Holder

= NEW! item and detachable charm

And one more neat idea, I put a lobster clasp on the top end of the charm so it's removable now. You can attach it wherever you like.

A Little Charm for Hoops - Hoop Loops

Hoop Loops is a little charm for hoop earrings. There is a french based store "AGATHA". I loved this store's collection especially charms for hoops at my 20's. I used to enjoy different styles and colours of these charms for my hoops everyday. One day I reallized I have nothing on my hoops. Ummm I need something... I can make something... then I made this little charm for my hoops, just for myself. But almost everyone who see this ask me "Did you make this?" then "That's a good idea... Do you have any ... colour?" Now I'm getting orders constantly. So I made colour samples.
