Dearest passer-by, 'fans' and interested parties of The Dainty Things in Life,

I am really aplogetic about the super uber looooooong absence........
Been away for short trips abroad right after my Graduation from the Polytechnic and preparing resumes and interviews, I am still in the mist of applying for jobs and also waiting for news from the local Universities... hopefully, things go well for the next path of my journey.

Well, as for The Dainty Things in Life, it will start all over again! Noticed the new blogskin? Still the same green and grey shades... I like them, something about nature and the grey plays netrual, enhancing the colours of the precious stones.

They next few jewllery pieces would be from the current collection that I created got my major project. Rather goth I would say. As my theme is on Roman archietecture, in particular, Domes. There would be a fixture of brass plated filigree and spaces, toggles and clasps.

Hopefully, something catches your eye and that unique piece will have a new owner!

First up:

Chunky asymmetric necklace carried with full poise and elegance. Copper tone leaves filigree aplenty lends to the Romanesque. Toying with womanliness and sexuality, this piece is exequisite on its own. Play it up with a plain top and accentuates the natural beauty of the stones.
