Pre-Order Yumi's Jade Necklace

Alright girls, hold your breath! Cause what I'm about to tell you is going to take it away!

Are you ready?



After MONTHS of scouring teh INTERNETS, I have found an affordable, medium quality real jade pendant like Yumi's! I have double checked with Emi, and she thinks it's a perfect match!

Ba-da-da-daaaa!

Excuse the poor quality picture. I took it from the website. ^^;;

This is British Columbian Jade - real jade! It's medium quality meaning it's not the finest jade out there (it's nephrite, not jadeite) , but it's not faux jade. The pendant will come on a 18" sterling silver chain, meaning it's going to hit right about your collar bone (or there abouts). The pendant measures right at 1", so it's still pretty delicate looking while making a statement. Stones may vary in greenness as the iron content in the stone determines its color.

The shape (the intertwined loops, the infinity symbol if you turn the pendant horizontally) is said to be representative of two lives forever intertwined, never separated, paths always crossing. I wonder if Emi picked this shape for it's meaning? Does this allude to Miyabi and Yumi being together since Miyabi's mother had a similar jade necklace?

I thought now would be an appropriate time to introduce this since the necklace has made a reappearance in the manga and there seems to be a major event resting on it in this next page.

I don't know how many times I've said or I've seen people on the forums say they wished that they could have this necklace! Now you can! I'm too excited.

SO, if 10 people pre-order this necklace, I can get wholesale pricing. I can also get wholesale pricing on sterling chains if 10 people promise to order. In fact, the more people who order, the cheaper I get the goods, the lower your retail price. I've estimated that this piece will run about 25-35$, but no more than 35$ USD.

And remember, I send half of the profits directly over to emi, so you'll be helping to maintain the site, getting an extra page, and getting some bling. Everybody wins!

If you're interested, comment below! To pre-order, just e-mail me with your name and paypal. If you would like, I can work with you on paying. Maybe do something like split payments or lay-a-way, but your piece wouldn't be mailed until your balance is paid in full.

Miyabi wants you to go order it, like, now. (You'd better do what he says. You know his temper! ^^;;) :D

Yumi's Stroke of Midnight Bow Earrings


Aren't these just the sweetest? I just love bows in jewelry. With colors like black and gunmetal, they really take off the edge. Another TWTYH inspired piece, I think I could see Yumi wearing these to Orochi's concerts. And just like with the cell phone strap, when I think of Yumi and bows, I think of that infamous scene where she runs away from Miyabi at the stroke of midnight, or in Miyabi's words, "just like Cinderella."

This listing is for the BLACK MATTE color ONLY.

THE DL
WHAT IT'S MADE WITH:
Gunmetal gray earwires ( probably base metal)
Black Matte bows with black gems (probably base metals)

ALSO COMES IN: n/a (GUNMETAL -SOLD OUT. THANK YOU!)

AMOUNT IN STOCK: 1 unit ONE OF A KIND! I cannot get these materials again.

IT CAN BE YOURS FOR ONLY: 12.00 USD

Yumi's Midnight Bow Cell Phone Strap

How cute is this cell phone strap? This tiny gunmetal grey bow reminds me of the bow Yumi wears to one of Orochi's shows. Along with it, I paired a shiny black gem with a gunmetal backing. It's sweet, but it's also a little gothic because of the coloring. Perfect for your cell!

(P.S. If you have an iphone, I know where to find an add on for your iphone so you CAN use cell phone straps. Just ask in the chatbox to the right or send me an e-mail.)

THE DL
WHAT IT'S MADE WITH:
Black cotton cell phone strap

Sayaka's Purple Filigree Earrings


I love these. It almost hurts me to part with them, I think they are so pretty! Black matte filigree earrings with purple gems. There's a flower in the middle with a big purple gem as the center! They are extremely lightweight - you'll feel as if you're wearing nothing! These would be great for a night out.

Inspired by Saya from TWTYH. (Can you tell she's a favorite of mine? I think it's probably because we have similar attitudes. I must sound a little crazy talking as if a comic book character is real. LOL).

Musashi's Black Diamonds



Musashi is the rough 'n tough longtime girlfriend (now, fiancée) of Shuya. She has piercings, short hair, and I picture her as being the type to get away with wearing a big, bold, red lip color.

These earrings match her personality perfectly. They demand attention. They are what I call angular chandeliers. You first focus on the big black diamond in the middle and all the straight lines, but you also get the feminine chandelier effect with the white gem among all the black ones. If you look even closer, you can see the intricate pattern in the metal. They'd be great for everyday wear or a night out with your girls.

Sarah's Circle Necklace Revisited




For most people, this will be the first time they see Sarah's necklace. But I didn't have any photography skills at the time (not saying I do now either) but I think these pics are faired a little better than the last ones on facebook. (BTW, if you want to add the company on facebook, type in Caritas Et Amor or look down the page for the facebook fan page badge and click it).

Simple and elegant.

Saya's Signing Party Crystals Set



I'm happy to present Saya's Party jewelry from the current chapter of TWTYH. Saya seems like such a great character (she's Miyabi's older sister). And from what I've seen in the comic, she and I have similar taste in jewelry. Small, dainty, feminine, but eye catching. That's what this set does.




It kinda looks like we're talking to each other. LOL.

More News

So I've been given the okay to go ahead and create a line of jewels inspired by one of my favorite web mangas, The Way To Your Heart. If you buy from any posts labelled TWTYH, I will donate some of the profits from that piece to help keep the manga up and running. :D

Seriously though, you should go check it out! It's up there with Hana Yori Dango on my list of great mangas (and Han Dan is at the top)!

So for the next post or so, you're going to see some TWTYH pieces. I hope you like them!

Also, please visit frequently within the next couple of weeks as I'll be having some down time to concentrate on this site and create new pieces to post.

News

Hi there! I know I've been MIA. I've been working on a special collab.

I love manga; I have since I was young. I've been following Emi's online manga, The Way To Your Heart since I was 12 or 14. To help her out financially since I can't really donate, I decided to make a line of jewelry inspired by the characters in her story!

When the post goes live, I'll update with pictures and details here. However, you will only be able to purchase through here.

Also, in the near future, if you're Catholic, you might want to visit my sister etsy site Caritas Et Amor. It's Catholic rosaries and devotional pieces. :)

Classy Lassy!





ClassyLassy2


These are too fun. Pearls with a twist, I say. Cause every girl (especially a southern one), needs a pair of pearls in her ensemble. But I think these would look great with a Little Black Dress or a pair of jeans and a cute shirt. I think the hearts beneath the pearls make this piece able to swing both ways. For earrings, they are just the right amount of cute and classy.

WHAT IT'S MADE WITH:
Sterling Silver French Ear Wire
Sterling Silver Cable Chain

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

Sweet Hearts!


First pieces for sale! :D However, I'm listing them separately so it's easier to browse later on.

On the left, you have SweetHearts in Siam. On the right, you have Classy Lassy in White and Crystal. I don't know why blogger is being idiotic and cutting off 1/4 of the photo. If you click on it, you can see it in full. The lighting is a little dark in this photo because Swarvoski's Cyrstal color is clear with no refraction. Unless the photo is a little dark, you can't tell the beads are even there. However, in person, they are absolutely gorgeous!
