Sorry for the long weeks of silence and lack of updates;  the past weeks have been absolutely mental on many fronts with lots to execute and barely any time left to couch, do nothing. That said, I am pleased to present Reverie’s latest — The Inca collection ranging from $149 — $259. Available exclusively in Colette boutique in Forum Galleria.

A fortnight ago, a few of my personal favourites were snapped up at Fash Bash, namely Eclipse, Starfish and Ia necklaces featured below. Frankly, at the moment they were sold, I was over the moon that others appreciated them too. Once back home, I then felt the pang of bittersweet loss.

Some fine day, I will probably re-make them for myself! So moving on, what delightful Reverie’s jewels are still left for those hankering to expand their jewellery collection? Here are the Top 8 Reverie pieces which garnered the most attention at Fash Bash and are still available! What are you waiting for?

L-R: Apple Lolli earrings; Sky with gold-fill hooks earrings.

Key to My Heart bracelet. Sample piece, i.e, at a ridiculously low price.

L-R: Parasol earrings; Mary Poppins earrings.

Caress necklace.

Wonder necklace.

Cyan Stack necklace.

Finally, the movie was released in Singapore, and what a riveting journey it was with an inventive script and droo-alicious A-listers! Given my fixation on indie fashion, the elusive imaginarium for me will contain these and much, much more. What about yours?

Pastels, peaches and swallows. I’d top these with a pastel silk top/ maroon dress from Beams. Necklace: Pink Jewel (Mystique), a short necklace with a gorgeous vintage pink stone strung on a bronzy gold leather cord. Fun & flirty swallow earrings (Bohm).

Mulberry trees with browns and oranges a plenty. Get a camel coloured dress from Comptoirs des Cottoniers, belt it up, and complete the look with these and cool boots, of course. Autumnal necklace from Bohm and tree earrings from Mystique.

It has to be Paris and Tokyo — their uncompromising levels of aesthetic sensibility and quality, in all facets from design, to food, to dressing and especially the detail in packaging. What uplifts me is nature, especially the colours and romance of autumn. What moves me is multi-disciplinary art, architecture and books, or at least, collecting them.

Travelling is part of the process of inspiration, and I do travel quite a bit to source for materials and for market research. I am insistent on using high quality materials for Reverie. Anyone who wears jewellery often can see and feel the difference in chains and charms, for example.

Virtually all our chains, links and gorgeous cabochons are from Paris and Tokyo. For instance, the brass chains from our Spiral range are made by French artisans, while the other charms/pendants such as frog, cherry, heart, are limited editions from Tokyo. The other place which I rely on for gold-fill ear studs, clasps, quirky pewter charms and stainless steel parts is the US. Materials aside, my favorite part is designing.

I love to design because the ideas, the possibilities are endless. It’s like playing with Lego, experimenting with different shapes, size, colours, metal, fabric, chain and coming up with different products.

Designing, especially for necklaces, can take a very long time. There are many ways to perceive things, not to mention mixing and matching to achieve the ideal look, and so, it can go on for weeks. Earlier, I shared my sources of inspiration. I’m not sure if this inspires me, but it delights me to no end to have amazingly good food and gorgeous dresses!

Will the whimsical lady bug perk up your day? Dainty ladybirds encircled by French brass, made more precious using obsidian black stone and 14k gold-fill studs.

Or a pretty vintage pendant imported from the US, set against intertwining brass circles? One that goes easily with just about everything in your closet.

Or just maybe, a layered gem suits your fancy. Sweet white gold chains with twisted strings from Tokyo. Stunning deep pink square and baby blue oval cabochons from Paris. Classy yet delicate. Would that be you?
