First Silver Bracelet!

Hi again,

I have been wanting to do this with silver wire but i guess i was lacking the courage, after all, quite a length of wire would be wasted if the piece was not executed properly.

Luckily, I am pretty happy about the outcome of this first piece of silver bracelet here!

Name/Code: Sakura Blossoms bracelet SB0020

Flower 2

Pink & Blue

It took me a while to decide on the colour scheme for the flower beads to complement the Swarovski tear-drops, which is rather bluish-purple.

I finally chosen pink & blue beads, with a ice-blue pearl for the flower centre.

Name/Codename:Tear-Drops on Pink Petals SE0019

This pair could jolly well go with a floral dress or any clothes of pink/blue/purple/white colours. Infact, I have just the very dress here!

It has purple lace with pink embroidered flowers and lace edging at the V of the bodice.

Starting on The Flowers Series

Hi again :)

I was checking my inventories, not many gem stones left (except for 2 Lapis which can be made into either 2 pendants or a pair of earrings).

But I do have some Swarovski crystals....

Thinking about what to do with them for a while, I decided to start a flower series ( since i have many assortment of Toho beads left, these could be fashioned into flowers), & pairing these bead flowers with crystal is a way to go too!

Tada!! this is just the first one, and i am excited to start on the second pair asap!!!

Cheers for the flowers!!!

Name/Code: Ruby drops on white petals SE0018

Welcome to SilverSmith Design Room

Hi, welcome to my design room.

This is my first forray into silver jewellery making, so I will use this blog to feature all my creations and works.

Silver jewellery design is so fun and I am so excited to show you my first few creations.

Infact, for a first timer, I think my creations look divine :) hehe

My objective here is to try things out as they go (see if there is any business opportunity for custom made silver pieces ) ...

At the same time, I am also cataloging my designs :)

So, here's the preview of my first rings

Name/Code: Blue Bubbles SR001/SR002

(Ice blue pearls and beads on steel wire as a trial out before actually using silver... )

Inspirations drawn from the graphic below, titled 'Out of this world', which I have done for the sennheiser graphic design competition. The blue tone is missing after I have copied and pasted this image here so it looks rather yellowish. The actual work is very much centred on blue...like silvery ice blue. :)

(see http://prettysyl-sylviasblog.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html for the actual image)

Design is fun but there is also much hardwork...when I was starting out with wire, my fingers hurt for 2 nights! & each piece took a long time to finalise the design as well.

Slow hard work, but when I see each completed piece, my heart swells with pride and satisfaction of my labour :)

Please feel free to contact me for your interests or kind suggestions with regards to my works and pieces.

I cant wait to post my next series of creations! Do come again and check out my next blog for more! Cheers
