noir et blanc

noir et blanc : a monochrome series inspired by the black and white films of the 50s...where the beauty of the object lies in itself, not the colours. Perhaps thats what we call black beauty?

BLANC crystals pearls lends its glitter to the otherwise NOIR chez beads. Bronze coloured beads lends a sepia feel to the monochrome look.

A stylish and modern composition.

launch of Desire by a.b.o.d.e

hey all! today marks my first blog post of Desire. I am extremely excited by the launch of my jewelry line : Desire by a.b.o.d.e 

well, let me do some introduction of my shop and designs.

what is Desire by a.b.o.d.e?

a.b.o.d.e was originally conceived as a name/concept for my architectural design studio meaning : a box of dreams where coincidentally, the acronyms, abode, also mean house.

Now that i am designing my own jewelry line , i decided to name it under a.b.o.d.e to mean a box of desires, hence Desire by a.b.o.d.e.

who is Desire design for?

Desire is a handmade jewelry line for the individual modern women who looks for uniqueness and style in her accessories. The jewel speaks of the wearer's personality and taste. 

Desire's design is made for the one who enjoys the haute-couture of fashion, yet wearable for all occasions. Its also a wearable art.

when and where can we buy Desire pieces?

Many friends are asking me when they can see my designs and where can they purchase it. I am working on it currently, it should be up in a day or two. 

I have a etsy shop which i will post the pieces for sale. You may visit my shop to browse for the desired pieces: abodesire.etsy.com

Thank you.

p.s. This is my first ever blog, i can't believe i am actually blogging, used to think its for people who have nothing better to do, guess iam wrong! =)
