visiting Osaka from Canada

I'm on vacation in Japan now. See you all in September.

Graduation Jewellery

I got a custom order from my 13 year old niece Juliana, earrings for her graduation.
Sometimes it's hard to find the one exactly what you want at store.
She was looking for the earrings to match with her reddish orange dress. She didn't see the one then she remembered her auntie = me makes jewellery.
It's my pleasure to make the one for her special moment.
I picked the colour Padparadscha of Swarovski crystal which is a bit lighter than her dress and added some silver colour beads for the accent as same look as the dress. Padparadscha is an interesting colour; it's not orange, red or pink either.
I use this colour with red a lot.
I also made the bracelet to surprise her.
I brought and put it on her on that day.
It was a tears moment for Antie Yoshiko...

I tried to make the set not too fancy this time because she is a young girl and she wanted to have something simple and sophisticated.


This is a picture of her in dress with these set.
She was absolutely beautiful!

"Congratulations! Juliana"

"Dazzling U" is open!

My shop on iCraft is open now! Check out "Dazzling U"
(Grand Opening Sale! All figurines are 20% off)

I mostly have purse charms and figurines so far.
I'll be adding more jewellery in the near future.

Please visit my shop often as I'll be adding new items, designs
and colours constantly. See you there...

The Alternative Lariat

This Lariat was a custom order.
The client already had a Dangle Lariat, so I designed this to be a bit different from it. It gives the illusion that she is wearing a 'tear drop bead' necklace as well as the Lariat. I particularily like the little dangles at the shoulders.
I also made matching earrings for it.

Profile Information

About Me:
I was born and raised in Osaka, Japan.
I now live in Canada with my hubby and two (8yrs old & 5yrs old) daughters.

I love to work with what I have.
Art and design have been always my interest and passion. I've always loved to design and make crafts and accesories since I was a little girl. However, I came to be most passionate about jewellery.

Throughout the 90's, I completed several Jewellery Arts (design + craft), Gemology courses and I'm qualified as a Colour Coordinator.

I enjoyed making jewellery with precious metals for a couple of years, but I've been handcrafting one-of-a-kind bead jewellery since I fell in love with the sparkle of crystal beads.

Hi Yoshiko, I lived for the first half of the year in Kayashima on the keihan line, and then I lived in Moriguchi. I had such fun there, I would love to go back some day. My Japanese is almost completely gone now though, because I put no time into it! You must miss Osaka!

Hi Yoshiko - The RSS feed is an option for you to pull in posts you may have on an external blog (like TypePad or Blogspot for example) or if you have an etsy store, you can also pull in an RSS feed from that store. It will show your most current listings from etsy or your most current blog posts. You'll pick up the URL to use either from your shop on etsy or from a RSS feed from your blog. Each one is different so without knowing exactly what you are using, I can't give more a more detailed response.

Thanks, Casie
