Faces! December 2007

Christmas is a time to give and well, hopefully receive. It's really such a great opportunity (not to be missed) to be able to bless friends, family and love ones with a present or even a card to show them how much you appreciate them. I have to admit that I have yet to start on my list of Christmas shopping yet. Well, as usual, we can be such procrastinators. I for one am GUILTY! But I will start today because there are many people that I need to appreciate before the year is over.

And this Christmas is slightly different for me, aside from family and friends, I get to give away my very own personally handmade jewelries to some very special readers through Faces magazine in their Dec 07 issue. It's such a great joy to be able to give (Ain't it?). Well, as the saying goes, "It is better to give than to receive".

Here's hoping that this Christmas will be a great one for you...because, it really is the season of love. So, make sure you spread the love ;). To shop online, visit www.szeaccessories.com or win these trio by login on to http://www.faces.com.my/ .

SZE ACCESSORIES is fast becoming a name in the local fashion scene. Though only less than a year old, the talents and experience of designer Sze Yoong after years of making her own jewellery shows through in every unique handmade piece. Her fashion focus is to remain timeless and elegant while shaping a fashion identity. But it is her ultimate dedication to produce something special in every ornament that has caught our eye, a trait you can see for yourself as you browse through her ever growing collection that simply bears a fashionable flair.

SELECTION Sze Yoong carefully selects silver, beads, charms, semi-precious stones, coloured crystals, gems and ornaments that give birth to each unique piece. Each item & trinket is personally hand-picked by herself after scouring jewellery suppliers, thrift shops and flea markets from around the world - UK, Australia, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and of course, her homeland of deep cultural heritage, Malaysia.

DESIGN Indigenous influences and contemporary touch, complemented with latest fashion trends, style and modernity are the reflections of each piece. A fusion of classic and stylish designs that will charm and inspire modern women. At the core, all products are made with utmost thoughts to bring beauty and sense of pride to the owner.

WORKMANSHIP Sze Yoong believes it is important to have the highest grade of findings to complement the selected item & trinkets for each piece. Meticulously placed together by hand, most pieces take hours to complete. Once completed, each piece is thoroughly checked again to ensure its perfection for quality assurance. Subtle variations in each pieces of accessory are part of the overall aesthetics to be expected.

THE JOYS OF CHRISTMAS! For this Christmas season, Sze Accessories has made these special Christmas set especially for one FACES reader to win. She writes to us her inspiration behind these gorgeous pieces: My personal opinion is that Christmas doesn't always have to be represented in red although primarily it's assimilated with the colour. The real meaning of Christmas (which people tend to forget) is about Jesus being born to this world, and the story that encompasses around his life is about love. These pieces are made with this story in mind. The stars represent the bright star during that first Christmas that the wise men followed. And this led them to Bethlehem where baby Jesus was born.

BEAT THE QUEUES Sze Yoong accessories is an online accessory store, making it oh-so-convenient in this mad month of shopping to simply click, purchase and have it sent to your door - gift wrapped and all! Payments can be conveniently made either through direct bank deposit at any Maybank Cash ATM, online transfer, via PayPal or by cheque.

INSPIRATION APLENTY Sze Yoong excitedly writes on her blog of her warm, fuzzy feelings with Christmas looming around the corner. With her preview Christmas Collection available for screening at Sze Accessories online store come the first week of December, one can expect to find plenty of gift ideas. Sze Yoong has already hinted on her blog to expect cherry red, gold and plush velvet ribbons, plus updates on some new charm bracelets, necklaces and some really classic earrings made with silver plated materials and cute charms that she recently collected all the way from Australia.
