My Story of Necklaces

By

















These are some of my bead necklaces made throughout the years. I started this interest and self expression in 2005. The same year blogging became a way of expressing oneself. I was busy searching for stones and looking for cool beads for my next creation. I was also working in 'Charlotte Atelier'. That makes it even easier. I learned my precious stones, gems, diamonds and precious metals @ work. It's my job.
My 1st precious stones and assorted beads was from by my dearest mum-in-law. She is indeed a successful Jewelry Designer herself. That's how i got hooked. Some beads were bought here in Singapore. Places like Holland Village, Arab Street, Chinatown and Orchard Road. Others were bought in Jakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Do you know that there are no such name as semi-precious stones in the Gem & Jewelery world?
All real stones are precious.
