Minimal jewelry is so on trend right now and it's no surprise, they are simply gorgeous. So feminine and adds a little something to every outfit. Plus they go well with everything, so you don't really have to change up your jewelry from day to day.
Eva Schreuder hand makes these gorgeous gold and silver pieces that are just a bit out of the box. A favourite of ours has got to be the label necklace. So understated and delicate, looks perfect layered up!

I'm so proud! Coming back home to Singapore yesterday and seeing how Zara has launched her first collection S.A.L.U.
True eye-candy or beads-candy ... call it whatever you like…but you will like S.A.L.U….! The marble effect makes me want these necklaces very badly, but only a few are available so hurry up and chose your favourite…
I remember Zara showing me the polymore clay one day in the office and telling me about how much she enjoyed wearing those candy necklaces when she was a child…these necklaces look indeed to take a bite out of but you really shouldn’t as the beads while looking and feeling very soft are actually very robust and durable…
I'm sure we will see Zara exploring her crafty side a whole lot more during the years to come ... so stay tuned….Bloesem is already her biggest fan and says Salute ...
Marble softness is what I see when looking at the S.A.L.U. necklaces. I hope you will love them as much as I do and enjoy Zara's take on adult candy necklaces. All pieces are handcrafted by her and every necklace is unique. (sorry no.#1 is looking pretty on my neck)

When designers face a problem, they find a way around it. That's exactly what Jody Kocken did.
Finding out she was allergic to perfume, Jody found away around this with Perfume Tools. Her series of Industrial jewelry pieces are able to attach to the openings of perfumes bottles and the tools then work as a means of holding the scent and diffusing them, all the while acting as a barrier between the sensitive skin and the actual perfume.
Though the designs were a way to solve a personal problem, they were more than that. They were an expression of herself as a designer.
We love the tough industrial look of the pieces, which contrast to the delicate nature of frangrances and the body parts you wear the pieces on or spray your perfumes on. All in all, a beautiful collection!

The last couple of days I have been working on shooting images of a new series Bloesem Wear handmade jewelry ... yes hopefully next week I am able to open the Bloesem Wear shop again this time the 2013 collection.
I thought using little edible flowers would be a perfect styling idea ... they are so sweet, fragile and delicate just as I want my new necklaces to be ...
And although I am a bit nervous ... I'm already going to show you one picture of one of the designs from this limited new series Bloesem Wear,
Like I said hopefully a couple of more days and I am ready to open the shop... but in the meantime I would love to hear your response get some feedback from you whether you like this style! xoxo irene
- Soon the Bloesem Wear shop will be open again -

In a previous post, Irene had mentioned that she loved looking through Emeeme's shop. It was my turn today to shop and I've picked out some dainty jewelry that would go perfectly for everyday wear or an evening out. The gold touch makes it just that more dressier I think. I especially love the different materials Emeeme uses such as that Cedrela Calantas Pod Beads Necklace.~ Sufiya
