Magdalene's Wedding 0 Comments

 My dearest Hadasity Darling Magdalene is one quarter Peranakan!
And so, partly because of this reason and partly because she wanted to do something different from the traditional cheongsam for the tea ceremony, she went with a kebaya outfit instead.

So we worked on a hairpiece/necklace that would match her hot pink/dark blue kebaya.
She is a glowing beautiful happy bride! This was when I first got to know her and her husband and since then,
she has really been so supportive of all of Hadasity's designs and comes to visit me and the events that we hold as well and I am so touched by her. I love and appreciate her SO MUCH! Thank you dear!

THANK YOU  Magdalene & Darius
for sharing your beautiful memories with Hadasity for everyone to see! :)

!!! BLESSED UNION !!!

Lena's Wedding 0 Comments

Lena is one of those AMAZING WOMEN I have such a priviedge to get to know.
It is talking with women like her that inspire me and all the more convince me that it is possible to do what you love,
you just have to BELIEVE.

When she first emailed me about a custom order for her wedding,
she told me she wanted something "QUIRKY and FUN", not the traditional white/pearl necklace.
She attached her wedding card with purple and green on it and said she wanted it in that colour scheme.
I later found out that she was the one that drew the entire card and that she owned her own company - THE AMAZING ART SHUTTLE!
WOW, I now understood why she wanted Quirky.
I SO started to connect with her already!

She was looking for a headpiece and and decided to go along with the blue pheonix necklace to be worn on her head for her wedding.
Just months before her own wedding, her TWIN SISTER got married as well! ( How AMAZING and AWESOME is that??? :D )
She wore that as a necklace for her sister's wedding with her yellow cheongsam, which I think is so pretty!

And so I suggested that the necklace have some bits of purple and green but be mostly a white necklace so that it would go with her dress and wouldnt be too outrageously different but still go with her purple and green + quirky theme and this was the result! She was so nice to work with and if not for this neckalce I wouldnt have gotten to chance to meet and know her. THANK YOU LENA and I LOVE YOU! :D

Lena, wearing her white classic cuff! :) + her TWIN sister they are SO CUTE !

Lena & Jian De,

BLESSED UNION

thank you for sharing your wedding with Hadasity! :)

SO MUCH LOVE!

Chin Ser is such a Hadasity Darling she wore an entire set of Hadasity Jewellery for her wedding day!
 She custom-made a huge hairpiece with a vintage Sarah Cove brooch, and she's wearing a pair of stackable cuffs in white and blue and pink pearl practical hoops! I think she looks amazing and so cute too!

*Belle, as her close friends call her, is really a character! She is just really naturally happy and smiley all the time and she isn't ON anything but I suppose she is high on love! There is a story on how we met and how she came upon Hadasity and Belle will tell you all about it! She really knows how to pull off outfits that not many people can put together and I did tell her before that she should seriously consider being a stylist but for now she's happy doing what she's doing!

Describe yourself in 3 words

(Wannabe) wise,
(perpetually) in-love &
(spontaneously) loopy

I cheated with the brackets!

What makes you happy

Good coffee, inspiring people!
Youth who embrace their talent with humility.
Huge amazing breakfasts!
God-moments!
I like life in abundance and well packed with great people, humour, everyday art, music and good sleep.

3 Favourite cafes in Singapore

Oh man..Can i do 2 sets of 3?
Strangers Reunion, the plain for their coffee, Choc full of beans cuz it's near work
and recently Smitten Coffee & Tea Bar, Maison Ikkoko ( if i can get a seat!) and Drips Bakery Cafe for their fruit tarts :)

Your favourite place to be in the whole world

On a deck chair or a plush bed having a huge breakfast and
overlooking some sort of take-my-breath away kind of view.
(no mozzies/insects biting will be great)

How would you describe your style?

I wear everything, just quite adversed to skanky or overtly frilly :p
Eclectic,futuristic, drastic..
from hobo to boho, prints, colours ,
vintagey to local, drapes.
I do them all. 

We all should!

Why do you wear Hadasity?

(laughs) Hadasity has always been quite serendipitous for me.
When I bought my first stament necklance, it was a season where God adorned my life with a new statement chapter. 

At that time this random guy who I became friends with mentioned a designer who designed jewellery using bits of art like perenakan spoons. And a week later I bought the same piece without knowing it was the one he was talking about.
Oh, and now he's the God-sent beau in my life :) hahaha

I love its colours, movement, eccentric flair and the fact that to wear it, the girl's gotta have ample personality to synergise with the art.

For everyday splashes, the multi-way gem drop rocks most of my outfits.

In my opinion, because it always dances to its own beat, every piece is a classic.
(Good for passing on to future daughters *wink*)

..:: { Heidi Shum } ::..

has been such a darling and is honestly one of the sweetest, kindest, nicest people I have come across and have had the privilege of calling my customer and friend! Whether through emails, messages, her NICENESS radiates through such that even from her first email about a bangle she wanted I knew she was a nice one! So she chose to pick up her pieces in person at my place it was no surprise that we hit if off really well and I almost felt like I've known her since forever because she's so true to herself and has absolutely no airs. So it's such an honour to share her photos and life with you! Thanks Heidi for sharing ! 

* Oh and I forgot to mention, that Heidi also has the sweetest adoring boyfriend that wears Hadasity cufflinks and showers her with presents from me! I love seeing the both of them so much!

What would be a perfect day out for you?

1) Brunch with people I adore at a pretty cafe somewhere.

2) French toast with bacon, a long black and plenty of sunshine. Wonderful.

3) Wandering through Camberwell market, Portobello market, Camden markets, random flea markets in New York or Sao Paolo..

4)Moonlight cinema in the gardens or on a rooftop, with well-prepared friends who bring wine and cheese!

5) Sleep under the unbelievable Central Australian night sky.

How many countries have you been to and what forms your best memories?

About 20? As they are all part of me, it’s quite difficult to name which are the fondest.
 

A few that come to mind are:

1. Getting stuck in a protest in Cusco on the day we were supposed to fly out (not very smart of us!).
   
   
2. Exploring Petra in Jordan with new friends, totally absorbed in the beauty and company.
   
   
3. Heading up the Corcovado unenthusiastically but ending up being mesmerized by the gorgeous views of Rio de Janerio city life.
   
   
4. Developing blisters trekking across Japan with two of the most important people in my life.
   One of them is a very talented architect who desired to see the many beautiful buildings,
   so she planned an amazingly ambitious schedule and made us stick to it.
   It was torturous, yet fulfilling.  

What inspires you in life?

The hope and desire to constantly make things even better, or to make a difference, but balanced with contentment.
The courage to be open to people and things that are different.
The courage to follow your gut, and live life with a sparkle in your eyes.

Why do you like Hadasity?

The creations are a confluence of what vintage pieces, beads, crystals or wires that Hadassah chances upon, what her thoughts are as she crafts each piece and what her hands lead her into creating.. Every piece has its own story and is made with so much heart. 

// THE END //

Suan has become such a dear friend of mine and we have developed such a meaningful friendship over the time she's bought all her pieces from me and I appreciate and admire her courage and zeal for life and just being, SO MUCH.

Describe yourself in 3 words.

Intense. Intuitive. Hedonistic.
 
What makes you happy?   

Spending time and catching up on happenings with the ones who matter to me – my family, friends in Singapore and overseas (thanks to Skype and FB!). Having friends over for dinner – I am not at all a cook, and am totally delighted that friends are actually willing to try and sample my cooking!

Who inspires you?

No one in particular. I am too much of an independent spirit to look to a particular person for inspiration. For me, inspiration can come from anyone, anywhere and anything, and it is all about that sudden moment of positive influence and energy flow to one's heart and mind.

How many countries have you lived or travelled in and what are some of your favorite places to be in?

Pictures of Places Suan has been to ! :)

What is your Style philosophy?

Keep it simple with a personal statement that is distinctive, or simply bring about a clash (tastefully of course) eg a traditional wear with faded jeans - my favourite combination.
 
How many pieces of Hadasity do you have to date?

15 pieces - statement necklaces, earrings and cuffs.

Chin Ser's Bridal Shoot/Interview 0 Comments

The desired look you wanted for your wedding shoot
For the shoot with my cheongsam , I wanted a old school oriental appeal but at the same time balance it with modern element so it would not be too tacky. Hence I went with the English villa in Taiwan and Hadasity for their eclectic jewellery!

Why You like Hadasity
Not sure you can put the attraction in words but I'll try. It's more of the feeling u get when you wear a piece. You just know it makes a person stand out without trying too hard.

Where you plan to have your honeymoon and why
Scotland! We love the highlands and uhm the whiskey?
