Absinthe and Bling - last day to enjoy Mailing List Exclusive!

Have you seen Moulin Rouge?
Remember the Green Fairy? The Asbinthe fairy?

This lip balm was a play on Absinthe--

Absinthe smells of black licorice-- and though I absolutely despise eating black licorice, this scent is addicting. I added a bit of Stevia to the formulation to give off a sweet scent; attempting to capture the essence of Absinthe prepared with sugar (as it often is).

I had a customer request earrings with more dramatic chains + larger in size... so these are what I came up with-- Olivine SWAROVSKI flat briolettes with dangling gold chains!

These were a customized version of an existing design for a customer:

I found some Cherry Blossom shaped paper stamps, and for the life of me could not figure out how to utilize them. I was cutting out paper from Washi sheets and... ended up glueing them together to create these layered paper earrings:

I've been wearing them to work, and am quite happy with how they turned out :)

And some of the newest findings are featured in these beautiful bridal pieces:

Really adorable bow earrings:

^ These are quite interesting. The bows are definitely all silver, but they are textured so that it shimmers slightly. Very cool!

In a popular application, with pearls!

A few months ago I hoarded some beads I did not know how I wanted to use. I took a minimalist approach and made really simple bracelet with a Clover:

... and Heart

I was unsure about these geometric posts when I first ordered them, but I think it goes quite well with the black teardrops!

Lastly, I made a more dramatic bracelet. I was scared it would be overkill but I ended up really liking how it turned out:

In closing, my housemate was planning to use this dish as a bread basket. But Kratos decided that he was going to take over..

He tried really hard to make himself small to fit.

Lastly...

Today is the last day to enjoy the 20% off anything on the website!

Serious Note and Midnight Blue Jewelry, Blast from the Past

It's come to my attention that a couple of my recent, original designs have started to circulate some blogs, and one in particular. I try really hard to create my own style. Even when I'm inspired by something else, I tweak it, mix it up, change the elements to make it truly mine. Please give credits! I really don't care when people make similar jewelry, but plain copying is disturbing and super rude. If you even want to COPY a piece of my jewelry, DO IT, but give proper credits to the creator/inspire-er person, thank you!

I've compiled a list in the side bar of original HQCD work. Felt like it was necessary. Boo. At the very least, it'll make me feel like I've put myself out there.

Okay, Done with that.

A couple days ago, Marie requested dark blue pearls on bows.
Here they are, love!


I've also been in an angel craze recently...
So I made a bracelet in honor of that, using Marie's colors to create the piece.

^ Only ONE available, then waiting list!

And another dark piece, in my signature hearts on hearts style.

Blast from the past.
