The long-awaited earrings are now back in stock, sorry for the wait.
See them HERE.
Being a... somewhat perfectionist when it comes to crafting, it really bothers me when I can't find feathers that're identical. However, I've learned to appreciate how different each feather is-- that's just nature! So keep this in mind-- if you can't stand that something is slightly asymmetrical, I do not recommend you purchase these! These go QUICK, so if you want em, get them right away. I started out with 15 pairs today! There are 9 pairs left for this batch. You may have to wait another couple months for the next batch.
Here's me modeling them quickly, just to give an idea:
Also made 2 new pairs of earrings w/ gemstone carved flower coins. Really in love with these, and again, gotta thank Alyssa for introducing me to these beauties.
Pale Yellow Jasper Carved Flower Earrings:
Cherry Quartz Carved Flower Earrings:
I have a midterm tomorrow! I know, the cycle never ends. Can't wait till I graduate in Spring.
Finals end on the 8th or 10th of Dec, forgot. So that still gives me some time to ship those last minute Xmas orders.
Enjoy your Tuesdays! What are YOU excited about this week?
I've been pretty busy, catching up with custom orders and doing school-related stuff. I'm also scurrying to finish a bunch of new items for Whole Earth Festival from May 7- 9 at UCD. I'm going to be displaying jewelry for sale at the UCD Craft Center's table =)-- if you're in the area, stop by!
I also wanted to thank everyone who dropped by and left an answer to the question from my last post: What drink would you be, and why? I thought this one was pretty interesting, and wanted to share:

Congrats, joey! You've won the a pair of kidney wire earrings :D. If you can drop me an email with your shipping address. that'd be amazing =) heqicrystaldesigns@hotmail.com
For future reference, creativity counts when answering these questions! The more memorable you are, the more likely you'll win =)
Free Shipping? In honor of Mothers' Day, I wanted to offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders placed between now and May 3rd, 2010. Please put the code "MD2010" in the comments section during checkout. You'll be REFUNDED your S/H charge after you make payment.
And on the topic of shipping, how do you guys feel about me changing my prices a bit so that it includes free worldwide shipping? Shipping costs includes cost of time, materials, boxes, packaging and postage. I know it turns people off to have to pay an additional cost on top of what you see, and refunding shipping charges can be a hassle. Thoughts? Keep in mind a package with 1 earring in it takes about $2.50 to pack and ship.
Here are some new things I've added to the website that I haven't had the chance to show off on blog just quite yet:
Oh man, the rondelles on these POP and are SUPER shiny. This is the second time I've worked with multi-faceted rondelles (the aquamarine beads), and they are PHENOMENAL. Well worth the price. SWAROVSKI crystals are priced not only by the size of the crystals, but also how many cuts a crystal has-- making this one shiny piece.
This bracelet also makes a beautiful bridesmaid bracelet!
More kidney wire earrings:
Another Galactic (popular) earring!
I had these floral hoops in white gold a while back... now introducing them in gold =)
Starfish!
These red/gold earrings were inspired by one of my older designs, but with a "lucky" twist. Red and Gold are the luckiest colors in Chinese culture =)
Violet AB version of Butterfly Dreamin'
Now these hooks are kinda special-- they're not disconnected from the piece! Generally, we see french ear wires separate from the piece, but these are connected. Grab these quick at such a low price!
This particular green is STUNNING. There are few words that can describe how awesome it is. Not quite as dark with emerald, but definitely darker than peridot. It's called "erinite". PRETTY.
Greige is the hottest color of the season! Grab these for your everyday/work wear!
I finally settled on a signature style of pearl bracelet... pearls with some extra "bling".
I also tried really hard to price this reasonably-- can you believe those small sterling silver spacer beads are $1 each by themselves?
The leaf toggle really makes this piece a classic.
Another uni-sex necklace! I know that the jet pegasus has been really popular among the dudes-- so this one's for you! It comes on a nice 17-inch leather necklace =)
BTW, Jen WAS having a giveaway on Youtube to celebrate her 10K subscribers on her channel.
I was going to post this earlier but was too swamped with work :(. Oh well, doesn't hurt to visit her channel anyway-- she's got tons of beauty reviews (her recent batch of items are Lioele).
