My Shimmering Works...

I stopped making jewelries for a while

2010-12-11T19:33:00.001+08:00

My Shimmering Works site has been inactive for a quite long time because I've been so busy even my hobby (jewelry making) was stopped and I hope it was just for a while and not for good...hmmm... I still have materials but not enough supply to make jewelries for sale, I just used the left over materials for making jewelries for myself and gifts for my friends and relatives I really wanted to push my hobby into a successful business but as for now being a mom was my priority i will just set aside my hobby for now...and just make some jewelry pieces if I have time and will post it here for someone having an interest in jewelry making, as a sample of my creativeness and own design...all my designs are free if you want to copy, modify and put your own touch it's a matter of imagination and creativeness.

Visit me often for my latest jewelry design.

Anklets now is a very well known trend in the jewelry industry because it also compliments just like any other jewelries and accessories anklets gives an instant boast of bling in an outfit.

CC dangling pearl 925 Sterling Silver Necklace Earrings Set

2010-08-19T09:11:00.000+08:00

Take a look of this beautiful Sterling Silver Set...this is made of 925 sterling silver CC (chanel) design with dangling Fresh water pearl that gives a very much nicer and elegant look in this jewelry.
This Sterling Silver Set I bought from my friend who's starting a Silver Jewelry Business here in our place is so affordable and the craftmanship is highly recommended. I bought this set for 1,800.00 php only, the necklace length is about 18 inches, the pair of earrings cost for about 495 php very affordable plus you can have it installment, it so called here in the Philippines "1 month to pay" so If you don't have money to buy it, you can still have it now then pay later isn't so nice? in my case I just bought it in full so I don't have to worry about the payment anymore but still the payment option is very great especially when you're working and it's not yet time for your pay date.
Many more varieties of design available and also customizable 925 silver jewelry to choose from I just ordered a name pendant for me and my daughter.

I hope you like it too...

Peridot... My Birthstone

2010-08-08T15:01:00.000+08:00

It's August my birth month and honestly I'm so excited waiting for my birthday because I'm getting younger and fresher again...(let's be positive..haha!) anyway I'm excited and thankful because another year of my life awaits me after my birthday on the 22nd and every day and years of my life is a blessings so I should give thanks to Our Lord and share my blessing to others including my giveaway weee...and goodluck! to all who joined.

Now, since it's my birth month and like any other month we have this Birthstone assigned to each month as symbols of something traditional, mythical, folklore, et al. As of my birthstone "Peridot" the origin name is uncertain some says it's from arabic and greek word "Faridat" means "gem" and pronounced as ( pear-a-doe) sometimes referred as " Evening Emerald" because artificial light it glows as a brilliant green. Peridot legends state that the gem was considered as a powerful amulet against all evils hmmm...that's interesting! I guess that's the reason I don't see such paranormal thing hmmm???another thing Peridot somehow believes to be a remedy for sinus, lymph, lungs, breast problems and lessen the thirst to someone who has a fever just placed it under the tongue wow! it has a healing properties associated but really the history, myths, legends and folklore surrounding its magical properties have been handed down through civilization up to now. But for me wearing and having this birthstone (peridot) is my personal choice and like, any beliefs and myths associated with it is not what I'm after, I just love the fresh green color of it.

Sterling Silver Jewelry

2010-06-24T17:29:00.000+08:00

Silver is a popular Jewelry metal, Silver used in jewelry is usually sterling silver or 92.5% fine silver.
Sterling Silver characterized as pure silver or fine silver means 99.9% pure silver but it's too soft for most uses, Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and the other 7.5% is another metal mostly copper that serves to hardened the result alloy so the metal can be set into shape.
Sterling Silver jewelry tarnishes simply by being contact with the air, and in continuous wearing often develops a lovely kind of glow combined with darkened area called "Patina" what causes this Patina is by hard rubbing or contact with the skin but it's exceptionally adds to its beauty so if you want that certain effect on your silver jewelry then leave it alone but if you want a certain polished glow of your silver then proper caring of it must be practiced by cleaning it regularly by simply buffing with a cotton cloth, apply a paste of baking soda and water, then rub, rinse and polished with cloth and tap dry. Toothpaste is the most common household products can be used to clean the silver, and other silver liquid cleaner available in the market. Do you know that Silver has enemies? like rubber it affects and corrodes silver, also table salt, vinegar, olive oil and other acid components.
Knowing these information will help our beloved Silver Jewelry retain its beauty and glow.

Men's Ring

2010-06-16T18:44:00.000+08:00

I'm always experimenting to make a unique design when making my crafts, jewelries and accessories when my hubby ask me why I not make a jewelry using gold filled and swarovski for men because he also wants to have a piece of it for himself so I came up with the idea of making a mens ring using a gold filled materials and swarovski crystal that will not look feminine but will definitely look masculine just for him.

And this is the finished product of my work, I used a 14kt. gold filled flat wire and balls and Emerald cube "AB" swarovski cystals and my hubby loves it...so who said swarovski's are for women's fashion and jewelry only? it is suitable for men too isn't it?
