Keep to this page for exciting ideas and trends on jewellery! It's a busy time for me, but yeah! We still need some play to keep our lives interesting, don't we?"

So here's to wishing everybody a fantabulous New Year!

Cheers!
Jewel

A customisation for Ruiyi's 21st birthday! My, what a year of 21sts! This set is made up of a gold theme, with butterflies and blossoms to add on!

I'll be away from 21st Dec to 26th Dec with limited Internet access, so here's to wishing everybody a very HAPPIE Xmas in advance!! :D

Love,
Jewel

Behold!

A piece specially for my friend-cum-fellow backpacker, Vera! Such a lovely girl; my good buddy during my tertiary years. :D Loads of colourful stones, assorted beads for a funky look!

It's been three years since we've known each other and my greatest memory will be the crazy fun times we had together in Vietnam, as part of a YEP team and a second time as part of a backpack team. I so miss my backpack team! (: They make me believe that it's only just the beginning. (:

Quick updates now! I got into a frenzy making earrings so here are four delicious new pairs of different styles! Feast your eyes!

Love!

Jewel

Hello everyone!

My holidays have just flown over just like that - poof! And they're gone! Well it's back to school and work now, but not before I took some time to conjure up some creativities! They were all made on the day when I had an urge to start fiddling with my materials!

Rummaged through my bead and trinket stash when I realized I still have quite alot of ém, brand-new and unused, imported from different countries! How lucky to be travelling and be able to source out interesting items abroad! So stay tuned for more pieces coming up! (: Till then!


Luff,
Jewel

Hi everyone!

Apologies for the lack of updates! Well you'll be happy to know that Chocolate-Carpark has a couple of new items up! So check out the sections for Necklaces and Earrings! There will be more to come once I get my hands working!

I'll be away for about a week from 26th Sept onwards, so any emails will be replied after that because I have limited Internet access!



Till then!
Jewel

Hello!

The month of August just screams HOLIDAYS! Well at least there's our National Day coming along!

I've come up with some pieces, but am currently having issues with uploading photos. Do be patient! Keep a tab on this page! :D


Cheers,
Jewel

Hi all!

It's 11th of July! Chocolate-Carpark is officially One Year old today! Though there might not be frequent updates now (exams in progress), but I'm glad to see myself through this one year of creativity! It's great to unleash some brain juices when I need to, and please do continue to support the shop!

So, here's a BIG THANK YOU! to everyone who has visited my blogshop and/or has bought items from me! I hope to come up with better, fancier ideas for creations soon!


Love,
Jewel

I'm back!

Australia was really fun with the cold winter weather and lots of good food! Did make me crave Asian again, however (: Here are some pictures of the place there :D

Well, so it's back to reality after my hols! Oh, and do keep tuned to this page for special updates! *hint* Yay!

Heys!

I'll be away, out of town from 13th June onwards for about a week. Meanwhile, stay tuned for more updates and news! Keep your emails coming!


Happy holidays!
Jewel

Yippees!

Fresh updates! New addition to the ring family - Plum, plus three brand new necklaces - Pearl, Light and Lily Lariat! Lily Lariat is part of my first earrings-necklace set! Simple chic! Very pretty, so take a look! More to add on later on!


Love,
Jewel

Hi all!

A short note here: Chocolate-Carpark will be having more updates very soon! So do keep checking back on this page! :D


Toodles,
Jewel

Lotsa new additions to the Chocolate-Carpark family! Had those days whereby I simply couldn't stop making my inspirations come true! 3 pairs of earrings, two necklaces and also featuring a customisation-cum-lesson I gave for a friend who wanted something special for a 21st birthday! :D Very pretty!

So here's HUGE sneakpeak! Enjoy!

Love,
Jewel

Hey all!

I'm back from my short holiday with renewed inspiration! Brand new pieces created this week! Do enjoy the new earrings and bracelet - Cheri£ and Seafarer's gift! Pretty pieces, very limited! For more details, click on the links on the right column of this page!


Happy Vesak and Mothers' Day, everyone!
Jewel

Hi everyone!

Well it's been some time! I hope you find the new layout pleasant and easy to navigate because lots of time was spent doing this up with loads of help, kudos to Bryan! :D It's lovely to have such a friend to help out! Thank you!

I was drawn to the colour of the blog because it reminds me of yummy sticky chewy brown chocolate! My sweet tooth must be acting up again. Other than that, this layout has a pretty simple look with clean cut lines and everything.

I'm starting school again now, so it may be some time before I get down to posting new updates for the shop! But fret not! I still work according to moments when I get inspiration, which often strikes me when I least expect it!

Till then, I'm still making it open for customisations or personal requests! Mother's Day is coming and you might just wanna get something special for her, yes? ((((:


Ciao,
Jewel!

Well I haven't gotten round to fixing my website yet but I'm may do a makeover once I find the time! :D It's possibly my busiest period ever now with work, so much that it limits my time to even look at my jewellery-making tools and materials. Or rather, I need inspiration to strike again.

I've just attended a play at Raffles Hotel - Don't forget to remember me. Speaking of which, the hotel is wonderful! I really dig the architecture with the tall white pillars, giant wooden window panels and just the overall look that's put together to match. It was declared a national monument in 1987, according to the website. Old buildings interest me. I might spend time thinking about what such buildings were like in the past, their purpose, the people that entered and exited, etc.

I always thought that if I wasn't in my current occupation now I might become someone more inclined in the arts, maybe something to do with fashion, history, culture, or travel? Possibilities are endless!


The play I watched also provoked thoughts in me regarding Dementia. It's not normal ageing. And it's really good that we are trying to spread the message to the public through different mediums, one of which being art. It's a refreshing way of reaching out to the masses which can be enjoyable at the same time. There was a dialogue or mini-conference after the play during which members of the audience spoke up about their experiences and thoughts regarding the disease itself and the play.

I would like to share an interesting website I came across by Ethan Hayes-Chute. I haven't really explored it fully yet but the models and landscapes do show how much imagination one can have. Well if I were that good with my hands and if I had materials or ways and means think about what one can do! :D





I used to make landscapes out of recycled materials and stuff after watching some art show on TV; that was an experience with lots of work. It's the satisfaction I get and the fun I draw from the process of making something with my hands!


Alrights now, have to get on with my work. Wish me luck in finding inspiration!



Toodles!
Jewel

Hello!

I'm back from my mind-blowing, fabulous, heartrocking holiday in Vietnam! It was plenty of mountain air, sea views and different modes of transport we had to take! What wouldn't I do to travel again!

My uncle's girlfriend came over earlier and yay! I do appreciate comments about my products. This gives me the motivation to work even harder!

Seems like there's a slight viewing issue with the website. I hope to get it fixed soon! I'm starting my attachment tomorrow, so might be busy for awhile! :D Meanwhile, will still reply emails and comments!


Loving it!
Jewel

G'day!

Fresh with new pairs of earrings and a bracelet! Do check out the respective links for more details! My newest collection has loads of the basic elements: air, earth and water! Maybe I'll come up with something fiery soon! Hahah!

I will be away for a short 'backpacking' holiday from 27th February (Fri) to 6th March (Fri)! Meanwhile, do keep your emails coming in! Any mails will be replied to after the 6th! I might get some Internet connection overseas too, so don't fret!


Have a great night!
Jewel

Hello!

New items have been updated for earrings, bracelets and necklaces in addition to the Cupid's Luxe Collection! This is gonna be a quick post cuz I've still got exams on for tomorrow!

I do like my new creations because they're a touch different from what I usually do; but that's the fun in exploring different ways of creating! I hope to get down to making more accessories about my bout of busy period!

Thank you for supporting Chocolate-Carpark! Yay!


Cheers!
Jewel

*Updated post*

It's February!

It's been so fast since 2009 came upon us. Just a little bit of work everyday, some daydreaming and whoosh! goes January!

Updated are two brand-new necklaces! Both took me alot of work and effort especially for the design and manufacture. They are very very limited in quantity because I want to keep them special and not to mention the amount of work that went into them! Get a peek of them above! See 'Necklaces' for the details! I also hope to get more stuff churned out pretty soon, though I might have my limitations due to it being the examination period!

Please also check the Payment details for updated news!

I was reflecting the other day (which is what I always do) and I realized keeping such a passion isn't that easy. Besides the products, there's the time and effort to count for too. But I'm glad I have had such an opportunity to start my dream and realize it, and not to keep it hidden. Creating works brings unspeakable joy, especially when I am able to create for people I love and others who appreciate.

So thank you to you out there! And I hope, that my hands will work their very best!


Love,
Jewel

Helloooo everyone!

Here's the first update for the New Year! I'm proud to announce a new addition to the Chocolate-Carpark family - the RINGS section! Well I think that rings can be harder to make especially since they're smaller and it's a challenge to make something pretty on one's finger altogether.

Also added in are new necklaces and earrings!

I'll be taking a short break from 24th - 27th Jan for the CNY festival. Yay for CNY! I look forward to meeting my relatives and having a great reunion dinner! Even after the fabulously long weekend, I've still got a humongous pile of work to tackle. Onward!


Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Jewel

Hip Hip Hooray for the New Year! As January draws in I am faced with the prospective of tight schedules and work to complete! As a result updates may not come as frequently, but the possibility of surprise uploads is always there (:

Let us also not forget that it is always within our abilities to help someone in need, no matter how big or small the actions or words are.

It has been brilliant celebrating the coming of New Year with it being a time for self-reflection, self-discovery and much more. So onward! we will go with the coming 2009, with smiles and courage and love.

Hola!

New earrings, bracelet and necklace up for sale! I do love the latest collection because of the versatility and shine!

Christmas is just tomorrow! I love it as a time for remembering your family, friends, relatives, favourite stall vendor.. etc! To everyone out there, have a Happy Xmas and Merry New Year!


Feeling the warmth in the air!

Hello everyone!

It's been yet another busy week for me. Yeahs, free-er during the daytime and more hectic with email-checking and research going on at night.

Check out the LOVE AMPLIFIED! concert going on at Fort Canning this Saturday! Loveamp: http://loveamp.sg/




Well when the word 'love' is mentioned all the different thoughts rush into our minds and its meaning holds something different for every single one of us. So I just thought it would be interesting, considering the amount of support this event has in order to bring awareness about HIV and AIDS, and 'embracing the truth and facts'. So it's more than that too, it's about real love this time round.

Alright! Just a slight detour from my usual post. Looking for an unique piece of accessory as a gift? New updates in the sections on your left, click to find out more!

What's more, with X'mas approaching round the corner(just 30 days more), hang around Chocolate-Carpark for interesting updates soon!! Thank you all and esp to my customers for your support! (I hope to garner more, haha!)


Toodles!
Jewel

Well it's almost halfway into November and I hope you guys are doing well (:

On to add something interesting to this blog today! Let's talk about DRESSES! Well for me I think The Dress is a great invention and the plus point about being a female is that we get to wear different types with different cuttings, styles, embellishments, jewels, trains, colours, forms etc! Speaking of which, there's the toga, bustier, low-v, flare and frilly, halter, lace, empire cut, kimono-style, spaghetti and lots more! Whatever it is, dresses are great for many occasions and finding a dress that screams 'ME!' feels really really good!

Dresses:

Mermaid cut

Now this is rather striking; the colours do stand out against each other. It's also a rather flattering cut and Eva's hair looks great!

My favourite! A beautiful black beaded long wedding dress. Formal, elegant yet feminine at the same time! And look at that hair!!

Long train

A very clean-cut dress that shows off a wonderful body shape, emphasizing on all the right points!

I realized so far I've been posting wedding/formal dresses. But I've always been fascinated by them. Fascinated by how designers can muster so much creativity to fashion different pieces that are attractive and versatile.

Bridesmaid/Flowergirl dress :D Absolutely angelic!

Well on another note, I have updated the 'Necklaces' and 'Bracelets' section! Presenting the new Heartwood bracelet! Lots of dingdums, natural and sweet! Masked Visage necklace speaks of mystery and class! And the Sweet Treat bracelet is, well, really a treat! So do take a look at them now!!

Chocolate-Carpark is also pleased to introduce gift packaging service! For a small cost, you can beautify your purchases to up its overall look! Check out the 'Misc' section on the left!

With Christmas round the corner, I hope everyone keeps in mind people special in their lives. Don't forget to send them a card or give them a call. An sms would be good too in today's tech-advanced world.


Happy holidays!
Jewel

Chocolate-carpark is now updated with the new oh-so-gorgeous Ocean Beneath earrings and Rustle of Russet bracelet!

I'm going to be really busy with my upcoming load of work, but hey, this shop is a great way for me to de-stress and relax! So do keep your eyes peeled for more designs!


Roars,
Jewel

Hello! Hope you've had a lovely long weekend :)

I've been in a rather good mood lately (despite loads of work and stuff), so I'm presenting to you the brand new PRINCESS ROYALE COLLECTION! Yayyy!!



Here's a peek! Bigger and clearer pictures on the links on your left! Updated are Necklaces, Bracelets and Earrings! Click on the pictures for a magnified view. Thank you for your support!

I'm really hoping to get things going, especially my passion for art, and this is probably just one of my many ways to express myself and simultaneously share my life with others! In life, because of the special people we meet, the unique experiences we undergo, that moulds our personality, individual factors and brings us to what we are. Well, sometimes I think deep. Haha.


Love!
Jewel

Hola~!

Finally armed with a new modem, my internet is back! Apologies to slightly later-than-usual replies to emails; I've found out that the library is a good alternative!

I've created a piece I like so much, here's a collage just for it! Do check out the 'necklaces' link for more details on this awesome piece in my favourite colour - purple!


Swinging by,
Jewel

Hey there!

Been having internet problems lately, so I've been either borrowing my friends' computers or zipping over to the library right after work. So sorry! Will have more updates once my internet gets fixed - I'm itching to do so!


Loves,
Jewel

Updated with several more items to please your palate! Okay, not literally anyway.

I so love the new earrings I created - Sheen! Do check them out and let me know what you think too!

I'll be starting my work tomorrow onwards, but as I said, I'm a rather random blog poster and creator! Hopefully inspiration strikes me again pretty soon!


Cheers!
Jewel

Apologies for MIA-ing for so long! Check out the new items posted up, especially the earrings!

Note: I will post up new items for sale every now and then, and this may not necessarily be reflected in my updates of the main page. Do check back often!

HELLLLLLOOOO!!!!!!!!

I'm finally done with the exams, now to hope for good results! Have been busy at work for the past two nights right after my last tests and here's the new CLASSY BLACK Collection! Expect lots of gold and black! Perfect for the night out, yet versatile enough for a casual look :)

Happy shopping! Pictures will tell you more :D





Having the time of my life,
Jewel

I'm in the midst of my very important exams! Am waiting for them to be over so I can go shopping for what I need! Meanwhile, am making a couple of items which I hope will turn out well :)

Thank you friends, for your support! Sorry for the lag in updates! Do check back often for surprises!


Ciao!
Jewel

I'm nearing my exams soon! Now this shop seems like a great outlet for me to relax and expand my creativity!

New bracelet - Love the colour of the blue! Reminds me of the waves I saw in NZ!
New necklace - Peachy starfish and cute fish charm!

I'm looking towards importing charms and stuff from other places.. but that might take some time and gotta search for good ones! Click on the links on the LEFT for a better look at my creations! Some prices have been revised! :)

Having my exams very very soon, so lesser updates temporarily!


Loves,
Jewel

Just some quick updates at midnight!

Check out the new necklaces and bracelets! Have got exams coming up, so might be busy for now! But random inspirational blogposts are never impossible :)


Cheers!
Jewel

Just uploaded some pictures of new stuff!

I can't imagine how I'm finding all the time to do this with two presentations, two reports and one prac test next week! I'll be studying very very hard so I'll have good free time for my bling! But then again, when my inspiration strikes, it'll be such a waste to just let it be.

Enjoy!


Taa,
Jewel

They're back from Australia! I love it when they bring me unique objects and now, my latest requests are charms and beads! But the photos holding memories are possibly the most important of all.. (';

Check out the batch of new necklaces uploaded! I realized that every piece I've made has a personal touch crafted by me :D

Lovingly,
Jewel
