jade and Swarovski soft bangle

Like pearls, jades are cool accessories. You may use either in formal to casual occasions. Those who believe in the healing power of jade wear them each day. It is also believed that jade brings prosperity and good health to the wearer.


Ph680.00 + shipping fee if needed (the gift box is free)

I used barrel shaped real jade beads, white Swarovski crystals, 10K gold balls, 10K gold tubes, 7mm thick 10K gold wire, and a short strip of 5mm thick 10K gold wire to attach the 10K gold lock to the 7mm gold wire bangle support. 

The soft bangle is made of real 10K gold from the wires to the gold tubes and gold balls. 

You will know if a piece of jade is real if it is cool to the touch. The temperature of the surface it touches may be transferred to the jade but when it is released the jade will once again adopt the temperature of its environment (or it is once again cool to the touch). 



You may use the soft bangle at work, while out with your family or friends, or anywhere you would like to wear it. It is not like other flashy jewelry that can be used only in certain occasions. And it can go with any form of clothing whether you use it with rugged, casual, or formal wear. 

I do meetups in Makati’s commercial center at Greenbelt1-5, Glorietta, MRT Ayala, and in DasmariƱas City (bayan), Cavite. You may also text for orders and inquiries at 09196510612 or email me at cecileqpastrana@gmail.com

simple designs

I am still trying to create my own simple designs, in my wire jewelry projects like the design of the bracelets. Why bracelets? I like making them, the earrings and necklaces come next lang.

This is a jade infinity charm, I knotted through the infinity openings the red synthethic leather strings. The green jade promotes good health, symbolizes and attracts wealth, and the red color of the synthetic leather connotes strength, power.

Simple and yet arresting to look at. It exudes strong energy and attracts good chi!  

And this is my first 10K gold charm bracelet, V* from the actng. dept. bought it.
  
I used class A emerald green glass beads, nickel accessories, and sturdy elastic strings with this bracelet. Emerald green is the color of money for 2013. Some fung shui masters promote wearing this color to attract wealth.

I like it when sunlight strikes the beads, the beads reflect the sun's light like a prism. The other bracelets with white beads reflects the sun's light in a rainbow of colors! You should see it. :)

made in Macalelon, Quezon

To while away the time, I created some bracelets and a bangle made of 10K goldwire, 10K gold tubes, 10K gold locks, Swarovzki crystals and some class A glass beads (they are very clear and dazzle like real crystals) and charms like the infinity symbol.

The bangle below was made with Swarovzki crystals, 10K gold balls, 10K gold tubes, a 10K gold lock, and a 7mm 10K gold wire to which I inserted the rest of the materials.



This bracelet is made of jade, class A glass beads and nickel accessories. The charm pendant is the symbol for infinity or eternity. In oriental beliefs, especially to the Chinese, Koreans, Taiwanese, and even the Japanese (I think, or you may send your comments on this), it means "forever" or being constant or always. Like constantly in good luck, constantly in good health, prosperity or wealth is forever, and so
on.


This rosary bracelet is made of class A glass beads. This bracelet is so pretty when sunlight strikes the beads. Rainbow colors bounce off like when sunlight goes through a prism.


Another shot of the same rosary bracelet. Both pictures were not able to catch the stone's crystal-like glitter though.
