olished gemstones and other semi-precious stones are bright, shiny and attractive to both the eye and the hand. But they don't begin that way. They start out as rough pebbles and pieces of gravel that most people would not even bother to pick up. To polish them it is necessary to place dozens of them together in a metal tumbler, with a liquid mixture of hard cutting grit. For three weeks the tumbler turns slowly over and over, night and day, hour after hour, without stopping. Until it has taken its full course, the polishing cannot be completed. Finally, at the end of the process, the barrel is opened and the stones tumble out.
hey are covered in grey, gritty paste, a combination of the original cutting agent and thousands of tiny pieces of stone that have been shaved away. But when the stones are washed, they emerge smooth and shiny and brightly coloured. In some cases, they reflect the light. In others, translucence develops that was invisible before. Others have a rich, mellow appearance, like caramel or toffee. Before the tumbling and the scraping and scouring none of this beauty is visible. So too with us. If we want to shine we must first be shaken. We believe that this roughness of life has many parallels in real life and in many ways is a polish to the finish line.
t Pixie Designs we have a saying that goes, "One generation plants trees under whose cool shade another generation takes its ease." Over the past five years we have cherished those who had plowed tough rough terrain and planted seeds of inspiration and nourished us with encouragement and motivated us towards economic prudence. One such individual is the late Henry Augustine Gomez, his leadership principles left an indelible impact on us, and his passion for excellence and insights on education led us to develop mutually edifying relationships in the marketplace. We dedicate this Autumn & Winter 2006 Collection in his memory.
ost of the concepts for our current designs were conceived and produced during mid September and presents a progressive merging of diverse ethnic mainstreams into a unified whole. Interpolating premium grade freshwater pearls with transcendent oriental jade pendants it established a momentum, which led us to a surge driven sojourn of the schematic kind. All in all the theme of these works focused on creation and the intrinsic patterns of nature in the ocean world. More than once we found ourselves asking whether the merging of such diverse categories of semi-precious stones with that of other genre was a catalyst for future projects.
ver fifty new designs were created and this included re-working of some of our former designs. From Rose Quartz Green Apple Freshwater Pearl Chunky Necklace and Sunstone Leaves Freshwater Pearl Necklace to Chalcedony Pink Freshwater Pearl Necklace the stage is set for the celebration of exquisite craft sense just like the harmony of two festivities side by side. As you view the photographs here you may be interested to know that for the first time almost seventy percent of these designs were created onsite at our Amcorp Mall retail outlet. During the Ramadan, Hari Raya, and Christmas season we will be available for jewelry design consultation and tips for creating personalized creations that complement and enhance your wardrobe.
ome join us and let us show you why the Autumn Winter Collection 2006 is the way to glow.
