Sweet Romantics

One can never say no to flowers. So when I was checking out the bazaar at Orchard Central last weekend, I simply could not resist stopping by a booth that was fully laid out with the prettiest display of floral and vintage inspired necklaces. The beautiful creations were carefully handcrafted by Serene, owner of Serenite Designs. The style is elegant, pretty and feminine. Reminds me of Miriam Haskell’s creations (see below), one of my favourite costume jewelry designer from the 1920′s.

Necklace by Miriam Haskell

Serene explained that each piece is specially handcrafted by her and she combined vintage costume jewelry with modern beads. For example, the yellow beaded necklace I bought; the pendant was actually a vintage earring. I just love the vibrant colours and vintage look and it is easy to wear with skirts, dresses and jeans. There is also an array of pastel coloured rose pendants mixed with howlite beads. I got this charming piece which is a coral peach rose pendant with turquoise beads and a little bird charm; perfect for my summer dresses. You can also order custom-made pieces and even bring your own vintage collection for Serene to turn it into a personalised costume jewelry. For more information, visit www.serenitedesigns.etsy.com.
