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!

Trollbeads, Blue Ocean from Trollbeads, Baby Argh from Ohm Beads,
Jumbo Unique (green octopus) from Trollbeads, Cowrie Shell from
Red Bali Frog, Unique (whale) from Trollbeads, Porthole Minnie from
Chamilia, Lead the Way from Ohm Beads, Porthole Mickey Mouse from
Chamilia, Sea Horse Dangle Charm from Soufeel, Unique (turtles) from
Trollbeads, Sea Turtle from Persona World, Crab Glass Bead from
Moress Charms, Hiding Conch from Trollbeads, Deep Ocean from
Trollbeads, & Silver Spacer from Trollbeads. The Silver Bracelet
chain is from Novobeads).
The same bracelet arrangement as above - but with the reverse side of the

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!

Welcome to the Beady I!

Hello and welcome to the Beady I!

My name is Enfys, and I am beady - in that I love admiring, collecting, arranging and wearing charm beads and jewellery!

My first bead and bracelet -
from Prouds
I first started collecting beads when I was given a Prouds bead and bracelet for Christmas by my family in 2016. Since then, beads have become my obsession! I collect beads from all brands (mainly glass, stone and sterling silver). If my heart skips a beat when I see a bead and I can’t stop thinking about it, then I know I must have it! Thus, my wishlist is 7 miles long...

I just love that one bead can be worn in so many ways, and on all different carriers! There are seemingly endless beautiful combinations that these tiny treasures can be arranged into - and each bead is a little work of wearable art! I find it poetic that the beads have been made by the hands of skilled artisans, and have travelled to me from faraway places that I will never see. I also feel connected to the world and other people through our shared love of these little beauties!

My Trollbeads Octo -
swimming in a puzzle ocean!
Apart from my beady obsession, I also enjoy art and craft, Lego, jigsaw puzzles, coding, games, and hanging out with my human and animal family - and I’m currently extensively researching our human family’s history.

I have severe Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS - a connective tissue disorder that causes pain, fatigue, illness and daily joint dislocations), and I spend a lot of time in bed or lying around the house. I wear some of my beads for luck when I go for appointments or tests. Others I wear to remind me of things, match my outfit or mood, or follow a theme. I wear my beads even when im just lying in bed - and they make me happy!

If I am having a particularly bad time with EDS, I may go quiet or disappear for a little while - but I will still be admiring my beads and trying to get back to blogging again! This blog will feature my own thoughts, reviews and beady arrangements. I hope you enjoy it!
