Profile

I'm a fulltime crafty person based in Singapore. I sell my original illustrations as ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions & Originals) and also do freelance graphic arts.

I also own another blog shop which carries a modest selection of vintage & kitsch jewellery supplies. Visit it here: Lemon Kitscharms

All jewellery on this site are handmade by me and my own designs. Seldom will I remake a design due to the lack of similar supplies. Each piece usually takes hours to create.

Pretty Conversation is an offshoot of Lemon Kitscharms, where I use my stash there to create original jewellery for those who like complimentary accessories for work/ occasions like parties or shopping. The 'conversation' in my shop name refers to my creations hopefully being a conversation piece when someone adorns them! My creations range from shabby chic to demure victorian, with an inclination of vintage style between 1920s-70s.

I have a soft spot for vintage pieces no matter how worn out they look, and will attempt to bring new life to vintage parts by using them in my jewellery. Please note that vintage items will occasionally show signs of wear and age although unused, but I like them that way!

Jewellery Care

1. One simple rule: Minimise the time your jewellery is worn. Wear them AFTER makeup & applying perfume, hairspray, moisturiser, and take them off BEFORE doing anything else when you reach home. Do not swim with your jewellery on (chlorine blackens them).

2. Wipe down with a clean dry cloth. Do not wash under running water unless you know what you're doing. Moisture causes plated jewellery to rust/tarnish (makeup & skin oils also), rhinestones will become dull and glue/threads/cords weakened with accumulation of water.

3. Store in ziplock bag only after completely dried. Use polyethylene bags, not polyvinyl ones. Only exception is opals & pearls which need to breathe so store in fabric bags.

4. Toothpaste is abrasive and baking soda water too so if you really want to use them to remove tarnish, limit it to cleaning cheap 925 plain silver jewellery. I prefer using silver polishing cloth and mild silver polish liquid. Do not use silver polish on gold plated materials, it totally strips the gold plating.

5. No newspapers or rubberbands esp for silver items.

6. Store jewellery separately as some materials are harder than others and will scratch the softer materials.
