It's been a while at least 3 weeks I think but i'm not so sure since I touched my pliers / tools and created something out of impulse ... I'd been so , so busy really with travelling lately and when at home , I'm pre-occuppied by my building of other websites and blogs and getting more news & updates in between from other Beading & Jewellery sites.
Truth is, I just realized tonight that I had neglected creating my own jewelries for sometime. So tonight I went to check my boxes and drawers of beads and found my untouched box of Austin Hamilton Lampwork Beads I had imported from Canada more than a year ago! I took out all my armaments ( Pliers and Bead Materials ) and started opening vials & compartments of Sterling Silver Findings for a change coz I always use plated metals. Since these Lampwork Beads are special ones, I prefer to use even much better quality materials to give it more life and importance. Here are the 2 pair of lampwork Earrings I had made ...
#GBER129 = SUMMER HOLIDAY SGD$35
These are Original Austin Hamilton Glass Lampwork Beads which are bold in color and truly attractive to the eyes . I had used 925 Sterling Silver for all the Headpins, Bead Spacers & Bali Sterling Silver Flower Designed Hooks to keep it safely in place.
#GBER128=DAZZLING PINK SGD$30
This 2nd pair of Earrings also had the Austin Hamilton Lampwork Beads as the Focal Drops accented with 925 Sterling Silver Bead caps, Silver Spacers, Swarovski Crystals & Crystal Rondell Beads in Very Light Pink Color.
#GBN054+E=GOLDEN WHEELS ( Fuchsia ) N+E Set SGD$50
This is a long Lampwork Beads Accented Necklace measuring at least 26-30" in lenght with Czech Glass Fucshia Color Beads & Gold Plated Designer Metal Chain . I had created this sometime ago but I took a photo of it only this afternoon which came out ok.
#GBN081+B+E = GOLDEN BLUE N+B+E Set SGD$35
I think I had missed my Pearls that I had mixed some into this design together with some Cathedral Beads & Foil Glass Puff Coin Beads in a lovely Gold & Turquoise Blue Combination. All Metals used are Gold Plated.
Ok, it's been a while since I made any Charm Bracelet too coz whenever I plan to make one, I get distracted when called by friends to lunch meetings , for coffee or tea or even night out to go dancing ( which I prefer the most ! ) somewhere in the city. For this kind of design I always make sure I have at least 3 hrs straight for me to sit and have the item finished . This Bracelet took me at least 2 Hrs at least but it's worth it ... see ?
#GLCH30 = I'll REMEMBER YOU Bracelet SGD$60
So far , this is the chunkiest charm Bracelet I had ever made. Quite heavy coz it's full of Glass Beads although I'm not really accustomed to very chunky ones I like the way this Bracelet feels on the wrist. Heavy so I have to raise my hand and bend my elbow to balance my arm and to release any stress from my wrist and arm. Good Exercise tool though ha-ha !
#SPN0129+E = Aventurine n Lady Bug N+E Set SGD$20
This is a set I had given as a birthday present to my daughter's classmate in Grp 8 from the Hollandse School. It was a cute set with Glass Lady Bugs with Aventurine Round Beads. The Chain is Rhodium so it has a nice shiny finish.
