Update in November

It's been some while since my last update.
How have everyone been? How's your thanksgiving?

Here in Hong Kong we don't have thanksgiving but I can still feel the joy and warmth through TV news :D

I would like to share some updates about me and my little store~

Firstly, my etsy store is finally in operation again. It took me sometime to do so. At first I was so desperate when my etsy shop was suspended and what I read from other seller's experience really terrified me. So i decided to established my own shop. After I set up my own store I tried to reach etsy again. After all, etsy is a great platform which brings in many searches and sales. From what I learnt from other flagged sellers, probably it's not working at all to fight for yourself. I decided to give up stepping up for myself and simply follow what they want me to do. Luckily, my shop was reopen soon afterwards. Yet I think getting my own store is a good idea since you just don't know when would the bad things happen again!

Secondly, I participated a bazaar at a local university. It's my first time to join a bazaar and it was really fun! Though it was a rainy day that affect patronage, I was still able to make some sales. It was so good to see the university students loving my jewelry!

My counter, such a lovely table cloth!! Thanks to my colleague!!
The pattern stud earrings and bunny necklace were the most wanted items :D

Simple Pattern Stud Earrings and Rings 簡約花紋圖案耳環戒指

Among all kinds of jewelry I like simple pattern stud earrings most. It could easily match with different colors of clothing and styles. Recently I've been crazily in love with different patterns and create a collection of stud earrings. The pattern is set on a bronze plate earrings and on top of it is sealed with a glass dome. Each of them has a 14mm diameter.However it is not 100% waterproof. A stroke of rain will be fine but please do not wear to bath, shower or swim.
所來瘋狂愛上弄這些花紋圖案耳環, 因為夠簡單又靚又易襯衫又多選擇! 於時乎, 一下子就將自己喜愛的圖案弄了很多款作品!

Here are some of my favourite style (and in fact, I love them ALL!!):

Counting down to Christmas 倒數聖誕

Still nearly 2 months to go for Christmas yet the festive atmosphere is around me due to all kinds of festive jewelry I'm making! It makes me getting very excited for this festive season, especially when my birthday is also nearby the Christmas day :))))

I really love the soft color tone for this set of Christmas necklace. It comes in 3 styles - "Holly Night", "Silent Night" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

雖然還有2個多月才到聖誕, 但近日因為趕著製作應節飾物, 家裡堆積了不少聖誕作品, 連帶我的心情也非常期待這個一年一度讓我感到興奮的節日了(因為剛巧我的生日也在聖誕節前夕)!

這一系列聖誕頸鍊上淡淡的色彩卻有著濃厚的冬日氣氛. 吊飾共有三款, 你會喜歡那一個呢?

Let it snow...Snowflake Bracelet

I'm starting to work on some designs for the festive season...yet it's odd to know I'm making something in blue color again!!! But don't you think navy blue looks very cool in winter with the silver snowflake? I've specially selected a floral engraved bracelet clip for this lovely piece.

I could also custom made a necklace or anklet with this design. Simply let me know what would you like ;)

Something Blue - Rustic Copper Ring

This time I'm doing something which is not quite my own style - a rusty copper adjustable ring in acid blue color. Yet I still make it simple to align with my whole set of collection :)



Fall is here already. I put on the chocolate brown nail polish and surprised to find it looks so well with the acid blue ring! This may give you some accessories and clothing idea for the season.

I still have another style of rusty round stud in the same color for making ring and a pair of earrings. It will be launched soon!

Silver and Gold Crown Rings

Some of you keep asking me if I offer silver and gold color for the bronze crown ring. After some trial of different paints, these two new colors are now available! The metallic paints are made in Japan with high quality. It has been proven that the paints are water-proof and won't wear off after long term wearing (tested on myself!)


The rings are not selling on etsy store, please order via Facebook page or email to littlepieceswithlove@gmail.com

Simple Customizable Czech Glass Beads Necklace, Bridesmaid Necklace

It's been a while since my last update. I was enjoying the Mid-autumn festival holidays here and spent some time with my fluffy kids. We had a great time in swimming pool with friends!

My kid Nikki - the tri-colored corgi :)

In fact I've also work on a few custom made order during the holiday. Apart from the geometric minimalist necklace I've mentioned before, I have received a request to custom made a simple necklace in another style. I thought of the Czech glass beads which I bought before. The beads are so special - half side of it has a matte surface and the other side has a shiny finishing. When several no. of beads are placed together it gives an amazingly beautiful effect. It is also a good choice for bridesmaid gifts - a minimalist necklace that looks simple yet elegant and last every season. Too bad that the photos here cannot shows its originally beauty though I've took many photos using different lightings.

You could also customized a simple beads necklace. You may choose up to 15 pcs of beads for the necklace. The same design could be custom made as bracelet too.

Please check out my shop for details!

Happy Mid-autumn!!

Circle Gray Felt Vintage Button Adjustable Ring 灰色戟絨復古鈕扣戒子

I bought a large pieces of gray colored felt some time ago and was decided to make it into some personalized purse. Unfortunately, I found felt is not an ideal fabric for purse or bags since it will go fuzzy when it rub against other fabric. So later I decided to use felt on jewelry design, as the fuzzy problem wouldn't happen when you are wearing it as ring, earring or necklace.

不久前買了一塊灰色戟絨布, 原意是想用布造一些個人化的小袋子, 但後來發現戟絨布並不能用於造袋子, 因為當布與其他物料磨擦時便會產生毛粒....面對一大塊布料, 唯有把它用於首飾設計好了, 這樣就可避免毛粒的問題~

The 2mm thick gray and 0.5mm creamy white felt is stitched together with shiny silver thread. On top of the felt is an adorable vintage silver button with rhinestones in the middle. The design is inspired by retro circle pattern. The silver and gray tone adds a modern shades. The ring is adjustable and could wear on most fingers. Looks best on first finger, ring finger and small finger. A great accessories for fall and winter and an ideal gift for the xmas holidays!

戒子底部用了2mm厚的灰色戟絨布, 並用閃銀色繡花線縫合0.5mm厚米色戟絨布, 最上層則是一粒復古風格鈕扣. 設計靈感來自懷舊的圓形圖案, 灰白兩色配銀線則帶來現代感的味道. 戒子可自行調較大小, 帶於食指, 無名指和尾指也很好看!  亦很適合冬季配戴。

I could also adopt this design on different types on accessories: necklace, brooch, earrings and hair pins. Please convo me for a custom listing.

Size: Circle Felt - 26mm diameter, Inner Ring - 18mm diameter, adjustable

Felt is spayed with fabric protector to prevent stains and spills.

此設計另可造心口針, 頸鍊, 耳環及頭飾等, 歡迎訂造.

尺寸: 灰色戟絨布直徑 26mm, 戒子內環18mm可調較大小.
