DJ NizaMinx's statement necklaces: Silver Sensation & Seductive Grey

An amazing order from an amazingly talented Dj Niza.
She provided 2 photos of necklaces, as reference and I was given a free will of creativity to turn the original into something special for her.
The 1st necklace is a silver piece:

Original idea is from the above metal and rhinestone necklace... which was not using beading technique.

It's interesting to transform a certain silver jewelry or fine jewelry into beadwork because it's challenging.

I selected a variety of different shapes of metal beads and metal findings, rhinestone beads, silver pearls, rhinestone spacer wheels and  multi color coated glass beads.

A wedding gift for a dear bride, Pearlyn Teh.

My dear friend from Astro - the TV station i used to work had invited me to her wedding dinner, which was held last Sunday.
When Pearlyn called me a month before the event, I offer to design some fashion jewelries for her to go with her wedding dinner outfits.
After several emails and photo sharing... I started work.

Revamp SooChin's Natural Crystals Part IV

Last bracelet, another favorite of my dear girl... golden rutile..
Since I did several different bracelets... I decided to make her something different.
This beautiful natural crystal with gold needles growing inside of the beads needs a make over...

Revamp SooChin's Natural Crystals Part III

Continuing this revamp project...
The original black rutile bracelet is gaped using rounded shaped 4mm size clear natural crystals... I decided to turn this into a modern black and nickel necklace.
Added some Jet color faceted bicone shaped Swarovski crystal beads, teardrop shaped glass beads and nickel metal connectors and other parts and finished with toggle clasp.

Revamp SooChin's Natural Crystals Part I

I have promised my dear friend Soo Chin to design some jewelry for her, and weeks ago, she,handed me a bunch of her "EXPENSIVE" precious natural crystal collection during our dinner session.

I feel so thrill to see those "collector items" which she has been collecting years ago and still keeping them like precious.. I know that some single bracelet cost few thousands  for each.  I'm glad I have the honor to redesign and make them fashionable, special and most important made by me  :).

All 13 natural crystal bracelet has 5 very interesting varieties of Rutiles, 3 Amethyst, 2bStar Rose quartz, 1 Star Garnet, 2 Green Phantoms, and some clear crystal beads which was originally beaded with the rest of the crystals using just elastic cords.

Soo Chin's Natural Crystals collection.

I start with Rutiles... especially the one which are most pricey... There is the Round beads Cat's Eye Golden Rutile bracelets.., Oval Rutiles and I had combined 2 multi color rutile bracelets into one design and decorated the beads with some metal bead caps...
