Bracelet galore :)

It's a long weekend again! I am just like a little girl who got a candy surprise :)
Decided to use this long weekend to manage the store.

Last week, we launched 7 pieces of OOAK (one of a kind) bracelets. They are so special because we used AAA quality gemstone nuggets sourced from around the globe.  I quickly fell in love with the piece.

Inspired by Lavender field - 

Amethyst meets Green Garnet and 925 sterling silver ornament :)

Pyra - simply because the Citrine nugget looks like a pyramid :)

wrapped in Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Labradorite stones and Ancient bead

Rosabelle - with Rose Quartz nugget :)

This is one of my favorite :)

Flood of Aquamarine stone wrapping a gorgeous Crystal Quartz.

I love the color palette, modern ethnic! :)

Looked much better in real than in the picture. 

With chunky Citrine and generous pale Rose Quartz.

Do you see the gorgeous Green Garnet?! 

Exotic piece! :)

The making procees took more than 1 week because I want to be sure on the stone combination.
Photoshoot was taken more than 1 time, again to deliver best quality pictures.

The bracelets are available in our stores in Facebook, Etsy and Instagram (@natslivingstore)
I hope you'll enjoy it :)

Gracias :)

Rare and Raw

We just launched new Rare & Raw collection in our jewelry store, Nat's Living Store.

I must be honest that this collection is the extention of my personality. Why so? Because I am always thrilled with organic materials, irregular and rich in texture.

This collection is using rough quartz as the main materials. The quartz are AAA quality, undyed and natural! Each of the stone is special and one of a kind, no duplicate. How gorgeous!!

I was exploring gold ornaments. I believe there are some segments in the market who love golden accessories.

 Rough genuine Citrine bracelet. 

Do you know that Citrine has healing power?

Rough crystal quarts bracelet! I really love its unique shape!

Brass meets matte gold and chunky Green Garnet. 

This necklace is 20-21 inches which will fall nicely because the stone gives enough weight :)

Now, I am really in love with gold. I think I will explore more about it. We also just registered an Instagram account for the store. Hope it won't be too late for us to start in Instagram. We have been thinking about this since long time back. But, since we're not yet managing the store full time, we waited for the right time. So, this is hopefully the right time for us already :)

You can find us in Instagram @natslivingstore or visit our Facebook store here. 

Happy weekend! :)

My Current Crush

Oooohh! I just can't stop my brain from running.

I am so so so inspired at the moment :)

My style in arts is really about Imperfectness. For me, imperfectness enriches the piece.
(But, please don't get me wrong. I am so keen on room arrangment and hardly tolerate messy rooms)

At the moment, I have a crush on handmade art pieces. Apparently, they are all in white and blue :)

Hand printed timber tiles! I really dream of this!

i.e. to have a wall of handprinted tiles (err, not to make the tiles at the moment) 

Handprinted fabric. I finally made my first trial on this, after 1 year!

So happy I tried. But, need to practice more.

 

 



Bye bye silver wares. Hello handmade/printed cemaric wares :)

I love its imperfect shapes and color :)

 



I hope you enjoy reading and inspired too.
Cheers to imperfectness :)

In the Mood for Fashion

Hi Friends,

I think I have hidden interest in certain fashion. I think it's about time to release it. And my favorite style for fashion and home interior is similar. I look for color and texture in both. I love color contrast and in something with high character.

Today, I want to share my findings in modern gypsy fashion.

I love the red blood and creamy white combination. Always find head cover from a twisted scarf sexy and a perfect combination with a pair of large hoop earrings. For me, Gyspy has thick characters. The stacks of some tops all in different cutting is just marvelous. And hey, heel shooes still matches modern gypsy fashion :)

Other application of scarf for head cover and large hoop earrings. I love the color contrast.

Enjoy the texture and the colors from this stacked outfits. She wore a denim jacket on creamy long top and hanging emerald scarf on the neck. For the bottom part, she wore oversized terracota long pants and black boots. 

Long patterned skirt with a plain top and scarf plus a pair of boots. Always my favorite!

If you are secretly into modern gypsy but not so much about its dresses, why not applying gypsy patterned accesorries such as a shoulder bag.

Other way to emphasize your gypsy style, long necklaces and head band.

Or, patterned dress and a simple hair band with a splash of turquoise and brown.

Yay!! I am so happy to finally share my passion in fashion. 

Thank you and have a great day, friends.
