Moress Sale Bead Mail!

This blog post features my first-ever purchases of Moress Charms


My new crabby friend from Moress Charms!

The Moress Charms brand is based in Thailand. The name ‘Moress’ means ‘Peacock’ in Thai, and symbolises beauty, elegance, prosperity, strength and love. In Thai folklore, peacocks can turn any poison into their vibrant plumage! The Moress Charms range includes beads, charms and jewellery made from silver, glass, enamel, stone and other materials, and the range is available from the Moress Charms website (which ships worldwide from Thailand). 


Unboxing my cute little ice creams from Moress Charms!


A couple of weeks ago, I took advantage of a sale on the Moress Charms website and purchased the three little ice cream charms that I’d long been eyeing off! The charms are sterling silver, with coloured enamel ice cream scoops in green (Mint Ice Cream Bead), yellow (Vanilla Ice Cream Bead) and pink (Strawberry Ice Cream Bead), and I love the decorative black and silver pattern on their cones!

My new ice cream charms work really well with beads my existing charm collection! I have been using them in cute, sweet and colourful arrangements this week. They also match my Novobeads Ice Cream Cone nicely - just as I was hoping they would! Below are some of the sweet arrangements I have come up with so far!

Ice, ice cream, & sprinkles! (Star Bangle & Silver Spacers from Trollbeads,
colourful ice cream charms from Moress Charms, Heart Melter Ice Cube
Charm from Pandora, Birthday Cake sprinkle glass beads from Ohm Beads,
& silver Ice Cream Cone from Novobeads).
Flowers, ice creams & rainbows! (Twisted Silver Bangle from Trollbeads,
Hawaiian Floral Stoppers from Red Bali Frog, colourful ice cream charms
from Moress Charms, & Ayllu Inspirational Rainbow beads from
Bling Jewelry. Mr. Adorable can be seen rolling around in the background!)
Cute & Sweet! (Sterling Silver Bangle & Silver Spacers from Trollbeads,
Flowers in Blossom bead from Soufeel, Unique (Doraemon) glass bead
from Trollbeads, colourful ice cream beads from Moress Charms, Rainbow
& Cloud Hanging Charm from Pandora, Play with Me (Pikachu) charm
from Gnoce, Snoopy bead from Persona World, & Hello Kitty bead from
Bling Jewelry).

In addition to my ice creams, I also bought an absolutely amazing silver-cored Crab Glass Bead from Moress Charms. It was not on sale - but the cute little crabby was just so incredibly adorable, I just couldn’t resist him! (Also, this bead is part of Moress Charms’ Our Ocean Collection - from which 10% of all sales are donated to Thai Whales and the Pure Blue Foundation - so I can tell myself that I was helping charity!)

Bangle with Silver Spacers & 2 of my favourite Unique glass beads from
Trollbeads!

The Crab Glass Bead is truly stunning! I opened the box and saw it for the first time in real-life and my heart skipped a beat - it really is just too beautiful! It’s a bigger bead than most of my others, and is decorated and textured with a dual-coloured ocean, glittering gold sparkles, and colourful little anemones! Pictures just don’t do this bead justice - it is absolutely exquisite! It is almost too beautiful to wear around the house!

chain is from Novobeads).

One downside to the Crab Glass Bead’s larger size is that it doesn’t fit onto some of my Trollbeads bangles. (I could wiggle it onto my medium-sized Twisted Silver Bangle and medium-sized plain Sterling Silver Bangle, but it won’t fit onto my medium-sized Star Bangle or my small-sized plain Sterling Silver Bangle). The Crab Glass Bead looks beautiful on chain bracelets, though - either by itself or with other charms. To me, it will always be a focal bead because I just adore it so much!


My sea-themed bangle! (Sterling Silver Bangle & Unique (turtle & whale)
glass beads from Trollbeads, Little Fish Stoppers, Sea Horse Dangle &
Sea Turtle Dangle from Soufeel, & Crab Glass Bead from Moress Charms).

I love all four of the Moress Charms that I purchased (although the Crab Glass Bead is clearly my favourite!). They all fit in nicely with my existing charm bead collection, and I have really enjoyed playing with my new charms all week! Although I had previously bought an X Jewellery lock from the Moress Charms website in the recent past, this was my first purchase of Moress Charms - and I am very happy with them!

Imitation Sea Glass for the Aussie Summer!

This blog post features my colourful new imitation sea glass bead acquisitions!

While perusing craft supplies at Over the Rainbow (one of my favourite online Aussie craft shops) last week, I came across some large hole imitation sea glass beads that would fit onto my charm bead carriers! The beads don’t have cores, but they were nice and cheap, and looked like they would fit in well with my existing charm bead collection, so I ordered quite a few...

Some of my new beads! 

The beads are made from recycled glass and were available individually or in packets of 10. I got packets of 10 beads in 5 colours - Clear, Desert Gold, Shamrock, Pacific Blue and Royal Blue. My order arrived 2 days later, and since then, I have been having lots of fun playing with my new candy-coloured treasures!

A sea bracelet fit for a mermaid!

I have enough to make a whole set of colourful sea glass jewellery! The shape of the beads make them comfortable to wear on my chains and Trollbeads hairband - and they have a large enough hole to fit on my Pandora interchangeable earrings as well. They also feel quite light - which is good for earring beads! I wish there were more than 5 colours available in these beads - a full rainbow would look lovely!

My whole set of imitation sea glass jewellery! (The hairband and stoppers are from Trollbeads, the necklace chain is from Jovana, the earrings are from Pandora, and the bracelet chain with heart clasp is from Soufeel).

I can see myself wearing these beads a lot over the coming Aussie summer! I especially like the way they look all together on my Trollbeads hairband, and I can see them complimenting my collection on a necklace or bracelet, too! I find it handy to have some duplicate beads to tie designs together - and these are a cheap option for doing that.

Some of my new Pacific Blue imitation sea glass beads with rainbow beads by Elsie! The stoppers and bangle are from Trollbeads.

What do you think of my new beads? I hope you like them as much as I do!
