Upon request from Martell's Brand Manager, William Lee, to host a party for his friend, I threw a little preview party on fine Saturday afternoon for some of his closest "girl" friends. He has been trying to arrange this preview for ages. Actually, since the begining of the Martell Rising Personality when some of his friends asked if they could see my physical pieces.
.
With lots on his plate and having to schedule a bunch of women together, it was postphoned for the longest time. But in the end, we managed to finally get down to it. So, my husband kindly allowed us to throw a chocolate fondue get together that consisted of women's two "most" favourite things- chocolates and jewelry. Well, I actually like flowers too! :)
While planning for the party, I actually went all the way down to Singapore to source for some nice semi-precious stones and crystals to make new pieces for this "special" preview. Knowing that the ladies would appreciate one-off pieces that were not found else where, I got to working for an entire week, making gold pieces with lots of pop and bright colours that were in fashion.
.
When the weekend came, the condo was turned into a little jewelry boutique. Funny, someone asked, "Are they always displayed on a daily basis?". Actually, no, cause I keep most of my jewelry in zip-lock bags to keep them from any contact with air, which protects them and helps keep them shiny for a longer period of time.

I'll definitely be previewing some of those special pieces online, so not to worry! While waiting for it to be posted up, have a look at our little soiree as below...
Above: The platters laden with fruits, nuts, marshmellows, rice crips, breadsticks...all for dipping in to the chocolate fondue fountain (which was really more of the main attraction).
Above: Lydia Kwan and Reta Lee writers from MSN.Com were there too!. And so was Sherelyn Goh, Fashion Writer from Hot/ Hello Malaysia.

I hope they had fun. It was great having them for the weekend just to showcase my available pieces as well as the specially designed collection from Singapore. They also went back with a few of my gem pieces at special pricing which really made my day. One of it was the Space Necklace which was my favourite handmade necklace that I designed and wore for the Cittabella Shoot in Jan 2010. This necklace was also featured in Mina's February 2010 issue as below.

A double chained handmade necklace designed by Sze. Hanging from the thick link chains are transparent acrylic cuts in tear drop shapes, silver oval rings and glass crystals in a cosmic blend. Fastened with black satin ribbon that are weaved through the thick chains and a huge lobster clasp to keep it sturdy. This bold necklace is a definite head turner. It's modernly stylish yet classic. Dress it down with jeans or change the look of a simple shirt with it's bold presence.
Another weekend of amazing fun! It's great to have something different to look forward to each week. However, one or two fashion bazaars that I've been participating in recently have been really disappointing with poor crowd turn out :( Wish the organisers did more marketing for them before organising one. For now, I think I prefer the private preview parties to bazaars :) See you soon!
