Purse Charm Cross - gift idea Ⅲ

It looks like a choker but it is a new purse charm featured cross.
I used a filagree cross for the main charm. I added some Swarovski crystals Art. 5301 and set CZ on the center of the filagree.
Also added a couple of Swarovski round rondells in a beaded string part as a design accent.

Beaded Dangling Bookmark - gift idea Ⅱ

More bookmarks.
It has the dangling circle motif on the top and the fringe on the other end, made mostly with Swarovski crystals Art. 5301 and bronze colour fire polished beads.
Some of them were sold as Thank You gift for teacher or Birthday gift. My friend Angela told me she is considering to get one for her daughter.
Her grade 1 daughter really liked this bookmark. Angela thought it'll be a prize for her effort of reading. That's very nice. The perfect prize for the great reading!

Handcrafted Jewelled Bookmark - gift idea Ⅰ

These are bookmarks I made with a beautiful Swarovski crystal component Art. 4461, the fancy stone classical square. Looks like a genuine gemstone, don't you think? Its perfectly facetted surface add class to this design.
I got three different colours of them a couple years ago. I was going to make a necklace once but I stopped with some reasons. The size, 16m/m square is pretty big and thickness of this stone is unstable on the bust. I couldn't decide what do I make with them for a long time then finally decided to make a bookmark.

Indian Sapphire (sold) / Tanzanite (in stock) / Smoke Topaz (in stock)

The bookmark in the market...
there are a lot of different designs, materials and price ranges. I wanted to make something like a tresure. The result is simply beautiful and very special. I loved it. I want one for myself.
I think this would be a one-of a-kind gift for someone special for you. And it also would be an ideal gift for a great reader as well.
It made exclusively with Swarovski elements, Art. 4461 16m/m was framed with Art. 5000 6m/m and Art. 5301 4m/m and two of beads ball were made with Art. 5301.

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.
