New Designs

24 Sep 2009 by crystals



These are the bracelets that I did just recently. It took 2 hours for me to finish each bracelet design. I love making designs especially if I have time to spare. As a mother, housewife, and a teacher I find it interesting to make designs like these. It makes my life more meaningful with an accomplishment like this.

My hubby enjoys seeing me too, that in the midst of my hectic schedules – I could still make some of it.

Blue Crystals

24 Sep 2009 by crystals



This design is quite cheap. I sold it for only $25 for one set already. I was able to sell more of this design before. I thank the Lord for giving me this kind of gift to make designs out of swarovski crystals. It’s not easy at first, but when I learned to do it, I find it easy. Now, I can sell anywhere with the help of some friends who care.

Blue is my hubby’s favorite color but I love green. But then I learned to love blue as well. Many friends love this color.

Blue and White set of crystals

24 Sep 2009 by crystals



This is another design that I made last year. I had the chance to sell it through my sister. It’s quite simple but elegant crystals. I love this color too. It’s good that my sister took some pictures of my old crystal designs – last year. We were in the Phil. last year when I did these designs. I ask my sister to sell some because she was going out of the country and met different types of people. So I guess, she can sell it to her friends or to some people she met. And it’s true she sold some but not all because she went back to the Phil. after knowing that our niece was not feeling well.

A Set of Swarovski Crystals

24 Sep 2009 by crystals




Early this year, my sister took a picture of my handmade bracelet, earrings and necklace. I had asked her to do it because she was using a good camera. Many friends liked this set of swarovski crystals but can’t afford to pay because I was selling it for $127. It’s a quality one and the crystals are quite expensive so they said maybe next time if they extra money to buy.

Anyway, I love the colors and the design. Maybe in the future someone could afford to buy for it.
It’s blue and white with 10k gold. Anyone likes it?

A Memory that Lingers

11 Sep 2009 by crystals

Today is a memory that lingers to all of us. Not only for the bereaved people who had a traumatic experience during the 911 event but for all of us, who had been affected by this big unforgettable event.

It’s almost 9 years that it happened. But the memory is still fresh in our minds and had a part in our hearts. What would be our role as mankind? What would be our part as individuals? Maybe, questions would come to our mind, but God has the answer. Everything has a purpose and everything under heaven has a plan, we may not know exactly, but the Master Planner knows, He knows what ahead of us, because He knows the future! He is Omnicient and Omnipotent!

This is the kind of memory thatwe never forget and keeps reminding us that we can’t hold our future nor the things that will happen….

A tragedy that could never be forgotten….

Flat Bracelets

24 Aug 2009 by crystals

Early this year I discovered making this design. I did it in many colors with 4 lines. It looks like a flower. A technicolor, all in blue and another that looks like a flower in different colors. I made different designs before but I failed to take some pictures of it, so I end up making designs again and again.

However, it’s worth it because I learned a lot of designs, different from the other. I love making different designs alone in my own capacity to do it. I also love giving it to my friends and loved ones. It’s a kind of fulfilling and I’m blessed.

My Crystal Design – last year

24 Aug 2009 by crystals

I was glad when I went back to the Phil. last week for many reasons. One, for our bereaved family. Two, for our reunion as a family, and three, for this design that my sister kept for sale. Nobody could afford to buy this one because it’s a set and quite expensive because the materials are not common, you could seldom found this kind any crystal stores.
I made it a set of crystals; a pair of earrings, bracelet and necklace. It was bound by another 10- key gold with a strong lock. I guess, it’s good only for celebrities or people who like fashion. I mixed it with light blue and white ( a different one) which looks gorgeous.
Some friends of mine told me that they loved it but they can’t afford. So I decided to send it to my friend who will be going abroad to let them see the design. Hope someone can afford to buy it sooner.

My Favorites

24 Jul 2009 by crystals






Since I started making designs I had my own favorites. I mean, there were designs that I like most. It’s quite easy and cheaper than swarovski crystals. These are rice pearls. I have friends who were working abroad and they bought some of my designs to sell for their friends and others who wanted to buy. At least it’s cheaper and attractive, lol! for my eyes only…

Although other friends like swarovski crystals but these are some of my favorites. I’m still praying for a market either around our place or beyond the corners. It’s my prayer that the Lord will just send someone to help me just at the right time. It’s not so easy these days to have a good market, people will buy what they need first then later if there is extra they can buy what they want. I do hope that the Lord will just bless this little business of mine. I also wanted to bless others through this gift…

Blue Crystal Pearls

21 Jul 2009 by crystals


Last week I started making this blue with white pearls bracelet. Supposedly, I can finish it for few hours but because I was sick, I stopped making it and started to finish it this week. When I was still young, I was madly in love with the green color – when I get married I was attached to blue because my hubby loves blue.

While I was making this bracelet, I was thinking of having one for my myself because it looks so cool and cute as well, though it’s simple but it looks nice when I started to wear it. As what I was mentioning, this is one of my outlets every time I felt bored of doing something, I immediately think of making a bracelet or a necklace if I have extra amount to buy for the materials. I need to save some amount for the materials alone – so I can’t do it always.

I’m always excited when my friends will ask for the price and the more excited if they will order, lol! At least I can earn something even for small amount. I’m still on my way to make the prices online. I’m just trying some techniques in order to post the list of prices. Of course it’s not so cheap but not also expensive. I was using quality materials like swarovski crystals, rice pearls and crystal pearls. I really enjoy making it.

To be Sick is Dangerous

18 Jul 2009 by crystals

I was sick just recently, I was afraid of swine flu so I decided to visit the doctor for check up. To be freed from sickness is what we wanted to, we felt bad if we’re sick.

Yesterday, as I was checking my friend’s blog at Genuine Cuisine I discovered that swine flu is already around us. And I was quite anxious, but I kept praying for protection upon all of us, God is really our shield.

I never thought that swine flu is already between our reach. Swine flu is very dangerous these days. It’s already a pandemic. Few weeks ago a friend of mine told me that there was a one-year old baby from Korea who was brought by his parents to America just to celebrate his first birthday. And went back to Korea after few weeks. Few days later, the baby became weak and was terribly sick. It was found out later that the baby had swine flu and had no chance to live longer. That’s why swine flu is very dangerous now adays.

We need to be careful wherever we go, and pray for protection.
