Luxe Pearl Collar $70

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:27:00 +0000

I love pearls and when I spotted this in a magazine that a friend and fellow beader lent me, I couldn't resist doing it up. Woven using Swarovski pearls in various sizes and lots of effort! Very bridal-looking too.

Necklace is choker length and is meant to sit around the base of the neck. I have attached a extension chain for the perfect fit.

Faye $20

A pretty blue and white combination of glass beads. Great for a casual weekend :) Necklace is about 30inches long.

Ethnic Bling $30

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:53:00 +0000

An interesting mix of materials here: Wooden black squares, multiple faceted "crystal" blings of different shapes and tones, black faceted elongated beads, matt gold beads, faceted "crystal" balls and two round black beads with gold carvings all linked together with a weaved thick silver chain.

A piece that is both elegant and unique...

All wrapped!!!

I felt so accomplished this period... I've been completing so many orders and creating quite a lot of accessories... so many orders of the little angels which are ideal gifts for X'mas and these lovely bag charms are affordable and unique too... First pic shows the number of bag charms created while 2nd pic shows them all nicely wrapped in organza bags ready to be gifted! :))

Bag Charm (Code: H13) $12

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:55:00 +0000

Do pardon the shadow... another late night photograph taken of this bag charm. I love strawberries and cherries charms... as such, the second in the bag charm series to have a big strawberry dangling from it. Lots of green and red glitter dust, but all nicely encased in a plastic cover so no worries abt any of it sticking to your bag. Complemented by faux pearls, red bead and green tear-drops...

Bag Charm (Code: H12) $12

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:40:00 +0000

Another customised bag charm for my friend as a X'mas pressie.. A purple cube dangles from the bottom with some white flower balls, multi-hued red and pink beads, pink and purple multi-faceted beads and heart charms.

Amongst Flowers $15

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:22:00 +0000

The third bookmark. A silver rod with designs of flowers imprinted on it. I've decided to keep things simple and just dangle a lovely yet striking crystallised butterfly from it. With the butterfly swaying around, the image of it flying amongst a garden of flowers is presented.

Reaching for the Stars $15

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:17:00 +0000

A bronze rod with stars, suns and rainbows.. A lovely ballerina trying to reach for the star that hangs on the rod... with some glass flowers sashaying in between. A picture depicting the arts and reaching for your dreams.

This is also the present we chose for bf's mother... Hope she likes it :)

I've sufficient materials just to re-create one more...

Golden Leaf $15

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:01:00 +0000

In cracking my head over a gift for my bf's mother, I came up with an idea of a bookmark since she loves reading just as I do. As such, I've created a series of 3 different bookmarks so that my bf can choose the one he thinks his mum will like best.

The ones in the series, a wavy rod from which a handmade polymer golden clay leaf hangs from it. I was wondering what to do with this beautiful leaf and now I've finally found a good use for it. The leaf has pearls and crystal embedded in it. A lovely trail of translucent white flowers with some multi-hue reflection hang from it. A really lovely gift for one who reads...

Sharmine $16

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 13:41:00 +0000

This is a first time attempt at creating a hair-tie... except for the leaves & the tiny Swarovski pearl, all parts are from Japan.

Whitish translucent petals shimmering with specks of gold with pink and creamy yellow centres, this hair-tie is totally reflective of a delicate beauty. Green leaves made of glass with painted gold veins complement the flower. It was a custom order for a friend who wished to order Christmas gifts for her colleagues.. I've only sufficient materials for one more such hair-tie.

It's X'mas season!!!

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:14:00 +0000

There's only about a month to X'mas!!
Do consider getting a unique gift for your loved ones....

We also have some lovely boxes such as those below in varying sides.

Edwina $32

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:05:00 +0000

This is a very unique piece (pardon the bad photography). It has 2 toggles with lovely flower design. Roses and leaves dangle from a thicker chain. If you un-do both toggles, you have a simple straight chain as below:

And viola! You can actually wear the thicker chain as a bracelet! Just imagine roses and leaves sashaying either on your waist or your neck...

Esmeralda $52

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:41:00 +0000

Sometimes, what ideas we started out with may evolve into something totally different as long as we keep our minds open...

The jade donut was one of my spoils from a trip in Hong Kong. I bought a few pieces in varying shades, thickness and size. Was wondering what to do with them and decided to try to put them in a trendy light... Jade is often perceived as old-fashion.... but some of them are simply so lovely! However, in the midst of crafting this piece, I ran into some minor issues of fitting in the filigee. As such, the idea evolved into something still traditional, but with a twist of modern look.

Aventurine beads, Swarovski pearls and elongated Czech glass beads form the length of necklace. As the main focus is the jade pendant, I've made this necklace the length of something similar to a choker so that it sits higher on the collar bone. Ending with a dragonfly toggle, the jade donut shows a soothing green colour with some translucency.

Isabella $20

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:37:00 +0000

Imported bluish-greenish flower balls with intricate design...Crystal rings... Blue glass brios...
A refreshing combination yet looking sweet at the same time...

Wine Glass Charms ($18 for set of 6, $24 for set of 10)

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:31:00 +0000

As with the angels, re-launching this series of wine-glass charms for the festive season!

Been to quite a no. of parties.. and the sad thing is, with so many guests, the glasses do get mixed up after awhile. What better gift for him (& of coz for her too) if he likes to entertain or appreciate wines?

Rodium hoops to ensure that they are more lasting and do not rust that easily, multi-faceted colourful acrylic beads and of coz, a different charm on each to ensure individuality.
The acrylic beads look really pretty when light falls on them (or through them)!

The charms from the top left down:
1) Cat, 2) Lady's hat, 3) Holly, 4) Strawberry, 5) Bicycle, 6) Heart, 7) Sandal, 8) Butterfly, 9) Pacifier. (Click on the pic to see details of charms.)

I do have some more charms and acrylic beads of different colours.. However, I'm unable to post all up.. So this is just a sample.. for each set ordered, I'll ensure that the charms are all different with various matching colour combinations. Some charms will be unisex, masculine or feminine to cater to all the guests! :))

Wine Glass Charms II ($18 for set of 6; $24 for set of 10)

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:30:00 +0000

Another version of wine glass charms. Instead of using transparent colourful acrylic beads, this version comes with solid coloured beads with a pearly sheen.. to create a classic look... and of coz, a more christmassy look.. :)

From the top left:

1) Knot design (sorry..not sure what is this type of knot called);

2) Heart with the words "made with love";

3) Floral frame;

4) Another version of butterfly;

5) Heart-shaped lock;

6) Small snowflake;

7) Round "sun face" medallion;

8) Floral medal with swirl in the middle;

9) Heart with designs around it

8) Holly leaf

There are other charms that I've.. inclusive of Xmas boot, fish bone, cap, another version of snowflake, etc. However, not posted as too many. As with previous wine glass charms posted up, will ensure there's a fair mix. However, the choice to be made is actually the beads: pls state preference of Transparent acrylic beads or Pearly opaque beads.

Raphaelle $22

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:41:00 +0000

Another ring with a filigee frame, adjustable with a lovely turquoise flower and a Swarovski pearl in its centre. A sweet blue faceted crystal drops from the ring.

Paeon $20

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:20:00 +0000

I love Greek mythology. As such, this piece is named after Paeon. I got the inspiration as I was thinking of the peony... the clay flower here looks just like the magnificent flower.

The peony is named after Paeon or Paean, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower.

The beautiful ring is actually a bronze filigee ring, with the flower as the centre-piece and a lovely bronze-encrusted crystal dangles from the ring, adding to its charm and grace. This is an adjustable ring.

Damask $18 (SOLD OUT)

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:07:00 +0000

Another rose creation... two clay roses sitting in the centre with crystals flanking them. Hanging from a slender filigee and accompanied by 2 purplish Swarovski pearls... Sweet....

Rosa Centifolia $24

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:52:00 +0000

Rosa Centifolia - (lit. hundred leaved/petaled rose; syn. R. gallica var. centifolia (L.) Regel), the provence rose or cabbage rose or Rose de Mai is a hybrid rose developed by Dutch rose breeders in the period between the 1600s and the 1800s, possibly earlier. It is a complex hybrid.

I personally like the above bracelet a lot. Made up of a bronze chain, a heart-shaped and arrow toggle, with a translucent bead of the "fire" colour.. and of course, the centre piece - a reddish, pinkish rose set in a bronze pendant. A piece that is simple, vintage-looking, striking and graceful all rolled into one.

The picture speaks for itself.....

Angels HP Accessories $10

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:02:00 +0000

Lanyard

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:43:00 +0000

Bored with the usual office lanyard? How about a beaded one that could also double up as an accessory?

This is a simple one that I made using seed beads and glass pearls. But really, there are endless possibilities...you can use glass beads, pearls, wooden beads, crystals.

These are great as practical gifts too. Do drop me a line if you are interested. The cost would vary with the materials used.

Christmas came a little early this year...

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:40:00 +0000

Went on a little trip to Japan this year and bought some jewellery parts and findings there. I barely scratched the surface of the many many beading shops there. Would love to go back there one day to buy more stuff.

This little guy was one of my finds there. Did it up as simple mis-matched dangly pair of earrings. No prizes for guessing what I would be wearing to this year's Christmas parties/events :)

Janette $16

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:37:00 +0000

Handmade clay rosettes with baby pink centres wired to light blue brios. Perfect for a garden themed party :)

Kimi $18

noreply@blogger.com (The Rose Box) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:47:00 +0000

Long and slim, Kimi is simplicity and understated elegance. Made of freshwater pearls and smokey quartz swarovski crystals. It can be worn with a classic dress to any function. This is one of my personal favourites.
