Would you be interested in a bit of critique?

Personally I think they look a bit busy, and really long. I think all in all, your charms really dont have any relation to eachother, and without that whole "charm bracelet motif" they just look random and out of place. Those hat charms also dont look a lot like hats in my opinion. I know you cant do anything about that though. Just sayin. I thought they were little people with diamonds for heads until I read the description..dont know where I got that idea. The colors in the first pair match well, but it seems...sort of old ladyish. I really cant think of anything up to date that they would go with, yanno? Same goes for the other two. They wouldn't really go with much...Not a lot of people wear gold anymore either. At least not in that style.

Sorry if that came out as a laundry list of negative things. That wasnt my intention. I love the little rose ball bead thingies, and the way you strung them. Thats a sort of idea I havent seen much of.

Thanks for your comments! However, i did not have any intentions for my charms match each other in any particular context. Probably just wanted them to look feminine and lady-ish. I actually sell them on my online site mainly for the Singapore crowd, where gold-coloured (not real gold) jewelry is still in style. Just also want to add that individualised pieces are a big deal here. Visit these local examples www.mistressofglam.blogspot.com or www.angelicious-creations.blogspot.com and you'll know what i mean :) These pieces are not exactly my kinda style either but many people here appreciate random and cluttered pieces-creations with a unique style of their own; a fact which i recognize.

I'm really grateful for your opinion on my designs :) Will keep them in mind :)

I have to disagree with people not wearing gold alot anymore. Gold swung back in to full force in the fall, paired with blacks and jewel tones mostly, and I still only do gold with browns. ;)

I think they're lovely. I, personally, wouldn't wear either of these pair, but I remember that I've liked a fair few of the other pieces you've posted here. I know there are definitely "in" styles for jewelry, but not everyone wants to fit in and wear what jewelry stores or magazines tell us is in fashion. I personally would rather find my own style; if gold isn't "in" anymore, but I like it, I'll wear it anyway.

Some of your jewelry does seem odd in some way. You put things together that I don't think actually go together, but somehow (most of the time) it works, and I like that you're not afraid to try different things. And I like the little stories you tell about them too. :) My two cents.

Thanks for your feedback! i thoroughly agree that we should find a style of our own instead of blindly following the "in" styles.

Honestly, most of the time i just liked the way these pieces are put together, but i won't necessarily want to wear them myself. But i know there are others out there who would and that's good enough for me :)
