Product Care & Clean

After each wear, wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth.

Make sure that your jewelry is clean and dry before storage.

Clean metals beads, findings and parts with polishing cloth.

Some metals findings turn darker colour due to oxidized process. Re-shine with a soft toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste.

Make sure it is completely wiped dry before storage.

Store jewelries separately to avoid friction that can damage the stones.

Avoid direct contact with chemicals in beauty products and perfume.

Avoid direct sunlight which may cause discoloration and fading in some stones.

Store your jewelries in a box, clean them from time to time to prevent dirt from gathering in between wire, stones and findings.

Welcome !

I am a beaded jewellery maniac ! so interested and passionate about beads and beading ever since I discover this hobby and design talent few years ago .

With encouragement from friends and colleagues, I started selling my products and set up this blog.

In December 2007, I began teaching on a freelance basis and was appointed the trainer of a programme under the Ministry Of Women, Family And Community Development of Malaysia.

Currently, I conduct private beading classes for small groups who wish to discover beaded jewellery as their hobby.

It is fun and satisfying to DIY jewellery for yourself and as a gift for your love ones.

Join me today! and discover your hidden talent.
