Wearing a Brooch as Pendant

A good design jewellery, no matter how much one loves it, one still feels a need to change it once in a while. Maybe that is why stack rings, interchangeable jewellery, etc are invented so that people can vary their designs occasionally. It maybe boring to wear the same piece of jewellery day after day. Or simply, it is a human's desire for a change once in a while. 

Speaking of interchangeable jewellery, one should not be unfamiliar with Pandora charm bracelets from Denmark. Or Charlotte Ehinger-Schwarz jewellery from Germany, which produces modular pieces that one can change and mix to make a ring, pendant, brooch, etc. 

Pandora Charm Bracelet

Charlotte Interchangeable ring and pendant

A brooch can double up as a pendant as I have discovered recently. One needs a necklace with a spring clasp to string the brooch. Just remember to string the clasp last before fastening the brooch pin as shown below: 

It works on a leather cord with lobster claw clasp too. String the clasp last before fastening helps to balance the brooch and prevent it from flipping when it is worn. 

Instead of clipping the the brooch on the blouse, one may consider wearing it as a pendant.  Make it an interchangeable jewellery and give a second thought to the new pendant you are eyeing.. :)

Artistic jewellers who set stones in silver

There is a loose lavender jade stone in my drawer and I am looking for a jeweller in Singapore to transform it to a minimalist ring set in silver. Why silver, you may ask..it is easier on the pocket and it is also chic and evergreen. Think of Tiffany silver rings and their blue boxes..

Looking through several websites, the designs from My Vintage Jewel Box (mvjb) caught my attention. Their designs are minimalist and each piece of jewellery is painstakingly handmade. MVJB is found by two jewellery artists, Ryn and Chris, based in Singapore. They pride themselves in making organic minimalist fine jewellery infused with stories. 

Their love seed oracle pendant, a new collection, which drew inspiration from love seed or saga seeds is engraved with an ancient Chinese oracle bone script below:

One may string the oracle pendant on a bracelet and wear it on  the wrist. 

I was also drawn to their scroll rings, which one can customise quotes and have them engrave on the ring. It can accommodate 160 characters. Likewise, one may string a necklace through it and wear it as pendant. Personalise it and it is a wonderful gift for Christmas. 

Looking through their profiles for customised jewellery.. It will be interesting to see the design they come up for my stone based their past profiles below:

 Maybe I share it in the future..well, that's for next time. :)
