Antz


I am not running out of names to call my designs. It is just that when taken with flash, these pretty mandarin-looking glass beads remind me of ants' bodies. Personally don't think this picture does justice to this pair... so pls contact me if you'd like to have a look at the real macoy.

It's hip to be a Pearl (Huey Lewis & the News)


Apologies for the untidy-looking lint particles on the velvet backdrop! can't find my lint remover. This is a slightly more playful take on the usually docile and dripping-with-decorum pearl bi-cones. I've chosen to mix two tonal colours in order to bring out the youthfulness of pearls. Who says pearls can't be hip?!?

Purple Daze


These purple Peruvian drops remind me of my favourite drink at Breko's - the Purple Daze. It is a combination of blueberry and vanilla (i think?). Whatever it is, the drink is very tastey. Not to mention, very, very purple.

Our Mother Earth


Second up for the collection is an ode to one of my favourite themes - Nature. Bought a couple of colorful Peruvian drops in Queenstown. I gave this to my mom, who although is not as huge a nature lover as my dad, is always game enough to join us on our public holiday expeditions to Sungei Buloh, fish farms, chicken farms, you get the idea :)

Snow White


Kicking off Huil's Spring/Summer 2006 collection is this pair of elegant ebony-white Rose Czech tubes. They were bought in Queenstown, New Zealand. The twirly connecting bits and all others are locally bought though. These earrings are for my colleague Hema - white for genuinity (is there such a word?), and roses for a sweet disposition (don't gag, HA). Happy 25th!
