| Pearls - Mikimoto Pearls |
| 2009-10-24 00:58:30 |
Yeah! I love pearls and I use them a lot in my wire wrapped jewelry. If you have been following, you know I have done lots of wire wrapped pearl pieces. But, none of them is comparable to what I discovered recently.
Mikimoto Pearls, the Originator of Cultured Pearls also synonymous with the finest quality pearls. The pearl house was founded by Kokichi Mikimoton in 1893, more than a century ago. With such long history, it is not surprising when only the best 3-5% of cultured pearls are deemed worthy to carry the Mikimoto's name? Just awesome!
Anyone who loves pearls should also know that Mikimoto invented the proprietary grading system of sorting and grading pearls (I just found out actually :)). This grading scale is the only qualified system which accurately and consistently defines six factors for grading pearls - luster and nacre quality, surface perfection, color, shape and size. Since then, many other companies have adopted this system. However, be extra careful when a company ...

| Getting Too Cagey Already? |

Seems like I can't get enough of this wire wrapped cages :)
I'll let the pictures tell the story this time around.

| This is Much More Easier |
| 2009-10-13 01:14:54 |
Another try on this caged pendant. This time around its a round tiger eyes gemstone of about 1.2cm.
I can only say this is much! much! easier than the heart pendant and earrings made previously (previous post).
As it is round, I don't have to worry about how it sits in the cage. Whichever way it turns, it still look balance in all direction...hehe..
Easy! easy!

| I Took the Plunge - www.wireblissmei.com |
| 2009-10-11 09:04:58 |
Yahoooo! Did you see it?
I have my very own domain name - http://www.wireblissmei.com! A real domain name!
Dunno what took over me last night. I just decided to make the purchase.
Actually I wanted WireBliss but it is not available with the .com so I settle for Wireblissmei, which I think a lot of my readers here are familiar with.
Very Happy! Happy! Happy :)
After almost 3 years of blogging, I never thought that I will have my own domain name. Ok, maybe it is small matter but this is something 'BIG" for me :D
You can still visit using my old address wireblissmei.blogspot.com as you will be automatically directed to my new domain. Current subscribers and followers, thank you for your continual support and loyalty.
So, all is still the same, except for the new name - http://wireblissmei.com. :D
Happy Sunday!
Note: Some links may not be working properly during this transition period (2-3 days) so please bare with me. Thank you.

| Here's the Pendant |
| 2009-10-09 11:04:54 |
Alright! Its not the headache. It is actually quite difficult to wire wrap this tiny crystal.
It just didn't want to sit still.
I managed but its a bit "wai wai!" (off center)!
Glad that I completed this set as they have been with me for a while :) but
* Reminding myself not to wire wrap this kind of tiny crystal next time. Must be at least 1.5cm.

| Wire Wrapped Caged Earrings - Painful piece, almost gave up |
| 2009-10-06 11:19:37 |
Yeah! I almost gave up on this one. I was wire wrapping this pair when headache strike again last Sunday. Managed to finish it before the full blown pain. Maybe because of that I decided this is one of the more difficult and painful piece. Yeah! Blame it on the headache :)
Anyway, headache is gone now and the world is so very BEAUTIFUL again!
Secondly, these are really tiny heart crystals....heart shape not very visible due to the wrap.
They are less than 1cm. Had hard time holding them down with my "temporary" clumsy fingers while trying to secure the loops/wraps at the front. The crystals kept slipping away to the sides or out the cage.
I hope the pain doesn't show on the earrings :)
So, here's happy non-headache days ahead and wishing you will never ever get any headache in your life.
