Iced Velvet


This has to be one of my favourite necklaces. I actually started making this way before Christmas, but it just wasn't coming together right. So I saved all the bits and forgot about it. I was looking through my work in progress folder last week (where I save all my experiments and current projects) and pulled it out again. After a bit of rearranging and tweaking, I ended up with something I'm now really, really happy with :)

'Iced Velvet' is an unusual square linked necklace, with cube beads along it's length. Anyone in my update group may have seen a plea I posted asking for help naming this set - I have terrible trouble coming up with names for things! Anyway, I got some wonderful suggestions, and 'Iced Velvet' from Persian Chevalier just seemed to fit perfectly :)

It comes in both gunmetal and silver, in the 7 colours shown on the poster. The gunmetal looks more casual... silver more dressy ... I love both looks though! Here's the silver/wine pic for comparison:


See? more delicate and dressy :) (I think I get waaay too involved in these things!)

Again, available inworld at my Gisborne store, on SLX, and SLB as soon as I've updated it.

New bangles


These have been ready to go for a week or so, but I held them back until I had something else to release too. (look! proper product ads! Hooooo!) They are called 'Chunky Cuffs' (I know, I suck at naming, more on that later), and come in polished gold with a choice of 12 different stones. There's so many stones because I couldn't choose which ones I liked the most, so I released the lot. I came to regret that decision 12 box pictures later.

Available now inworld at my Gisborne store, or on SLX. I'll be updating SLB a bit later, I've got 50+ items to upload and my willpower is drained for today.

Lillyane Bangles

Finally, a new set of bangles called 'Lillyane'. These feature *huge* stones, surrounded by tiny diamonds, and look stunning on your wrist. Available in gold and silver, and also in a fab black gunmetal which shows off the stones beautifully!

There's lots of stones to choose from - amber, aquamarine, emerald, opal, pink rhodium and ruby. Box contains sparkle and plain versions as usual.

New Earrings!

On to the new stuff! Made a few sets of earrings - I'll start with my favourite pair :)


These are my Pearl Drop Chain Earrings, they are very long earrings which brush the shoulders and they will look great with a long slinky dress and a fab updo. Only available in silver.


Pirate Hoops! A fun pair of earrings with various different beads, chains and charms attached.


Finally, my Heart Drop Earrings. I forgot about these for Valentine's Day *sheepish grin* so they're coming out now. Available in pink, red and white.

Updates to Edwardian Rings

The next updates are to my Edwardian Engagement Rings. Again, I had a request, this time to make a matching wedding band that could be worn together with the engagement ring after the wedding. I thought this was a great idea, so I created a set, and then added a matching wedding band for the groom too. So now, it's called the Edwardian Engagement & Wedding Ring Set, and is available in the original 5 stones - amethyst, emerald, blue topaz, ruby and sapphire. Emerald shown below.


The box now contains a lot of rings - the original women's engagement ring, a new womans engagement + wedding ring, and a new mans wedding band. Plus sparkly versions of all three for those that like bling. The original engagement rings are still available seperately for those that just liked it as a dress ring.

Updates to Christobel

I've added a few new colours to my Christobel set. I had a request for sapphire, amethyst and jet versions, and so that's what I've added!


My personal favourite is the jet version - black goes with just about anything (except maybe brown) and so it's so versatile. And it looks all shiny, which is never a bad thing!

Lots of new stuff to blog about!

But before I do (going to do several posts to cover it all) I'd like to say thank you to everyone for all the birthday good wishes, cards, flowers, clothes and baby pandas! awwwee cuuuute things!


I had an awesome birthday, and you all helped to make it special. <3 you all!

Coming up

*bats away the tumbleweed*

Sorry about the lack of blogging - RL has taken over again. Just to reassure you all I've not stepped under a bus, walked off a cliff, or anything sinister like that. I missed my 4th rezday in SL (10th march) - oh well, never mind. It's my RL birthday soon (19th), have to make sure I don't miss that one!

I've got a ton of stuff to release, as soon as I've made up 56million box pics (ok, slight exaggeration!) Two new bangle designs, several new earrings, new ring, plus updates of Christobel and my Edwardian Engagement Ring. Hopefully I'll have them out in the next week or so.
