My staple must wear jewelry for year 2014 was my armcandy of rudrakshas, Buddhas, hamsa hands, crystals and beads.
I collect stones, charms and beads from my travels and turn them into memories I can wear/carry with me on a daily. Constantly being asked if I sell them, I finally decided to do it;The response has been amazing & I can’t wait to explore all the options I can with the materials and styles I can come up with.
Calm like Buddha,

November is usually a busy month as I prepare for my Deeper Than Fashion Christmas collection & this year is no different. I’ve been preparing my usual packaging of DIY Rudolph paper bags and also decided I had to work on a do-it-yourself for Christmas inspired statement jewelry.
And here’s what I came up with: Things you’ll need:
– Scissors
– A pack of decorative ornament balls (Daiso at RM5)
– Recycled string (Daiso at RM5)
– Elepant glue (optional)
Step One: Cut up the string in 6 pieces. I didn’t exactly measure it. Basically what I did was stretch my hands with the string in it to get similar lengths. Remember, these 6 strings will be tied in half!
Step Two: Loop it and tie a knot at the end (as shown in picture). Ensure that one of your ornaments can go through it.
Step Three: You’ll need to start braiding the string. Make sure you have a proper place to loop the string as it’ll make the braiding process so much easier! I used my computer table;
Step Four: Start braiding! In this example, I’ve only used two strings (easier to follow), however I used 6 for the final result, so please use 6 as well.
Step Five: Measure the string around your neck to see where you’d like to start adding the ornaments. You can do a full ornament necklace, side one or a middle one like I did.
Once you’ve done that, start stringing in your ornaments as you braid. Remember: String ornament, overlap with two brands & then next ornament. This will ensure proper spacing (like mine!). You can however leave it to your creativity 🙂 Step Six: Once you are done and satisfied with how it looks, finish it off with an ornament & this time tie several knots to ensure it is really, really secure!
Add some glue to the knots for extra security!Step Seven: Cut off excess string and you are completely done!
There you have it! A little something handmade to wear on Christmas that’s completely your own! You can add other ornaments like stars, beads, pearls and such. Let your creativity flow 🙂
I had additional ornaments left, so I decided to tie them to my hair tie; How cute are these?! I’m pretty sure they’ll look amazing with a snowflake or mistletoe as well 🙂
Can’t wait to wear these for Christmas! 🙂

As much as I love to create magic, I like finding pieces of magic or as I’d like to call them my ‘travel treasures’ to share on Deeper Than Fashion. These elephant treasures were definitely a crowd favourite;
Double Elephant Bracelets &;
Ele Hug rings. How cute are these elephant rings that wrap around your finger, giving it a little hug?! 🙂
I also managed to find pieces that I can infuse into my own creations. Like this cameo Ganesha; & of course, no post is complete without my customised Ganesha dreamcatchers. These have been a constant hit and the orders for these haven’t slowed down one bit;
Sometimes I get orders without a price limit & I can let my creativity fully take over. Like I did with this gold Ganesha piece;
The blessings keep coming in abundance & I’d like to take a moment to thank the Universe for all it’s blessings.

I try to incorporate the vibrancy, culture and sense of heritage into my art and jewelry. I love being able to create fusions, mixing modern contemporary pieces with hints of tradition.
Inspired by the beauty of Indian culture while keeping the designs relevant and wearable on a day to day basis I created a signature piece to incorporate as many elements of the Hindu Gods & Goddesses as I could;
Ganesha charm, peacock feather to represent Lord Muruga, lotus to represent Goddess Lakshmi,Durga and Saraswati, Rudraksha bead for Lord Shiva & an ohm symbol representing both the unmanifest and manifest aspect of God.

These three piece natural stone titanium rainbow quartz are said to have high vibrations which helps remove energy blockages, especially when it comes to creativity and imagination. Each piece is different (size, colours, dents, everything!) making each necklace uniquely yours and the colours are permanent and will not fade easily.
Gypsy Coins. Perfect for the wanderlust gypsy goddesses! Intricate detailed whimsical little coins dangling and dancing delicately!
Boho Dreamcatchers. Made of zinc alloy, these dreamcatchers (both basic & tiered) are designed for the dreamer and believer of good vibes. Staying true to the brand and beliefs, these intricately designed dreamcatchers not only catch dreams but are also eye-catching.
