Multi-Way Accessories

One way to save some money on looking fabulous is choosing multi-way accessories instead of "traditional" pieces. We've been tinkering around with this idea, to give our clients better value for their money. Here are some of the pieces we've made recently.


1. CATALINA: Originally this was a layered necklace using semi-precious stones. We decided to provide additional options for the wearer. Using a special lock, she change the design and length of the necklace. The best of all this multi-way's features is, the design gives the wearer a choice to wear the necklace on casual and special occasions.


2. NICOLA BY NOVI: This necklace was designed by one of our most experienced beaders. A two-necklace design and bracelet in one piece.  


3. IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN: This necklace comes with a matching bracelet. The great thing about this set is that the wearer has different options on what way to wear her necklace. She can change the position of the  embellished accent,  or she can detach the piece all together, and still wear the layered chains separately.


4. AMATULLAH: Our bead embroidery pieces are designed to be statement necklaces, and are usually reserved to be worn on very special occasions. However with this customized signature piece, the last three patterns are detachable, which each individual pattern being able to be worn as its own unique bracelet. So if you're feeling bold, or if you just want to be laid back yet still make a statement, wear the piece in its simplest form.

The Enigma of a Tropical Beach Wedding

Gone are the days of traditional church weddings. Nowadays, soon-to-wed couples have the freedom to organize their wedding and to choose a setting of their choice. One of the top recurring themes is a tropical beach wedding. The elemental beauty of the beach, fresh sea breeze, music made by the waves, barefoot on the sand, and contemplative view of the sun at the horizon, appeals to many. So why not celebrate your big day with mother nature as your backdrop? Nothing is more romantic declaring your love to the “one and only” with the sea and sun serving as your witnesses. 

Here are some great ideas to help you orchestrate your very own beach wedding.

1) Break away from the "all white" theme by wearing a necklace, or a set of costume jewelries made from mother of pearl in blue. Have your entourage wear flowing long dresses in shades of coral and aqua. Add an embellished necklace with mother of pearl components to complete your mood and ensemble. You can give your female godparents mother of pearl brooches as tokens.

2) Encourage your guests to lose their shoes and enjoy the sand between their toes. You can give linked accessories such as this ring anklet to the members of your female entourage for them to wear at the beach.

3) Use shells, mini-parasols or mother of pearl wired into flowers as place-holders for your guests' name cards placed at the reception table. They can also serve as take home keepsakes.

4) Incorporate elements that remind you of the sea into your bouquet. Most common of which is combining shells with the flowers. Another option is to put shell hangings at the base of the bouquet. You can replicate the shell hangings that can be given as souvenirs. You can use it as a multipurpose accessory, which can be used as a bag tag, key chain, and door knob chime long after your special day.
