Chinese horoscope Summer necklace
Once upon a time there was a little Monkey, a Rabbit and an Oxe and they went on Summer-Summer-Summer holiday to the tropics. They brought their beading stuff with them and made their Summer necklaces made of wood, Jade and Turquoise.
For the photoshoot they picked the coconuts themselves. For the last ones to pick the little Monkey climbed on Oxe's shoulder and fell... But except for some bruises (and some little Monkey tears) the coconut-mission was safe and successful. They picked and plucked until de coconut tree was totally nut-free. They asked Tommy and Wurmi to show the world their Summer necklaces and here they are....
The 3 of them were very happy and danced at the Pondjesbrug until they got sleepy and thirsty. So they went home and opened the coconuts one by one and quenched their thirst by drinking the coconut water. It was so refreshing, it was nature's gold! With droopy eyes they went to bed and dreamed about how much luck and prosperity the Summer necklaces would bring little Monkey, Rabbit and Oxe ...

Neo Vintage Pendant Makeover


One broken pendant and a piece of necklace from the 60’s- 70’s. My mother no longer wore them, but as a girl I liked the colours so much that I kept them in my little box with my other 'treasures'.
I like green (Aventurine) and Cat's eye/ Chrysoberyl always triggers me. I kept them there for almost 3 decades. Today I gave them a second life and turned them into a neo-vintage pendant. It wears beautifully on a long oxidised silver chain necklace, which belonged to my grandmother Saar.
