Heather's Christmas at Trixilini - Byzantium

Byzantium is a collection after Heather's own heart..something daring, bold, independant and strong ! We are not followers but leaders ! We set our own trends !



Secrets of the deep - SGD199



Secrets is Heather's personal favourite in this collection. The old design fish finding is actually part of a WW2 submarine captain's insignia. If you look carefully, there is a carving of a submarine between the 2 fish.

There are 2; one for each arm. These findings are made of brass but never made into the uniform decorations. There were found still wrapped in their factory packaging. .....of course the "other" finding belongs in my personal treasure chest.

The centre pearl rhinestone part dates back to the 40's and is another vintage part that she have been hoarding for a long time...until the right design came along.




The Empress Reigns - SGD249



Empress is a key piece. It is 3 tiered with chain and many pearls. Heather envision it to be worn in a long dress with a low plunging neckline.

The centre piece comprises many pieces; 30s rhinestone parts, haskell golden leaves, swarovski crystal amongst others.
Empress took her 2 weeks to design and produce.





Secrets of our heart SGD218




Heather read awhile ago that if you dreamt of an octopus, the symbology meant that happiness was on the way ! She felt compelled to find out a bit more and discovered that an octopus symbolises intelligence, diversity, illusion, mystery and insight ! Mystery woman !

This piece is for a bold woman who does not bend to social trends ! You go girl !
