I'm calling this next line Soul Candy simply because of the healing power of these stones and the positive energy they bring. In this line, I used citrine beads, aventurine, amethyst, clear quartz. I was also inspired to make mala prayer beads because they just look so pretty. Here are some of the items I just release.













For details of each item, please visit: www.purpleshmurpleshoppe.etsy.com

Hope you love them as much as I do!

It's been a while since my last blog. I've been very busy with a lot of things. I took about 2 weeks off in the beginning of April to do a fundraising project to raise money to fight cancer and the experience in Boston was very much fun and is very fulfilling.


Every place I visit inspires me to create new jewelry design. It comes mostly from the colors I see in those places. For example, my family and I went to Boston Common Park and the park alone inspired me to pull the colors to make luscious green and vibrant oranges and reds come together to make a beautiful piece. There are thousands of beads and charms out there but designing themed  jewelry from those raw materials is the core essence of my creativity.


I am very excited to release new jewelry design coming very soon. I will be releasing yoga inspired mala bracelets, Chakra bracelets for the mind, body and soul, more natural semi precious stones including crystal point necklaces, silver and gold beaded bangles and more!



Fire agate beads with centerpiece I hand made from polymer clay.

I love how these turned out!

Until next time!

I've been meaning to put up new items but I will do it by the end of today (hopefully). Mail going out today so expect your packages in 3-5 days.



I made another flower dream catcher necklace but this time, I want to use colors to make it pop. Hope you like this.

@cosmicdare was kind enough to share her picture wearing her jewelry collection including the Turquoise dream catcher bracelet.

My husband and I went here to see the view of Manhattan and it's just spectacular at sunset.

This is in St. Maarten, we will go here one day just to see the planes go by up close (:

My ETSY store will be on vacation mode this week, For any questions or concerns, Email me at thepurpleshmurpleshoppe@ymail.com or you can reach me by sending me a convo on my ETSY.

Here are a few things coming up in the store soon. Friendship bracelets have been a trend since I was a kid and I used to make these a lot. But these days, so many patterns have come out. Hope you like this one.

I'm putting up more beaded bangle bracelets this weekend. This time, I tried putting charms on one of them and it looked fab!

Til next time!

Besides making jewelry, I love to read. I haven't read in months because I'm busy just about doing orders everyday, but I found this today. Sing You Home. I read a few pages and could not stop so my husband bought if for me (: The last book I read of Jodi Picoult's was Handle with Care and that too was hard to put down.



I'm so stoked to get a picture from a @drmaitai from Florida. She's been collecting jewelry from PurpleShmurple Shoppe I just love her collection! Thank you so much for sharing your picture!



I probably got the most emails about the Turquoise Dream Catcher bracelet this month, I'm guessing about 3 dozen emails asking when I'm going to have them back. I will list tons by tomorrow, Wednesday, and you will get an email from me letting you know that it's available in the store. Thank you so much for loving it. I constantly make them and I try to finish previous orders before I list more. I make almost 50 per week and send them out as soon as I can so please bear with me and thank you so much for your patience.


Thank you so much for pinning, sharing, blogging, tumblring(if there's even such a word) this picture, it has gotten more and more popular more than I could ever image! <3

Til next time!
