While entering summer, we always capture a picture of colourful dragonflies skimming over a lake, lighting on the surface for a moment then rolling off again, they are adult stage dragonflies dancing for their mating, and lotus flower pond always is the arena in my mind. This dreamy sence is a live show of dancing presentation, this tells us that dragonfly is a talented ballerina.
Here we have released Sky Ballerina to our website, the bead is featured with a focal opal that encircled with 14k solid gold, which just resembled the lake surface by reflecting sunlight, and the opal is surrounded by dragonfly, lotus flower and leaves, it just sketched the lively scenario for dragonfly during summer.
And this Sky Ballerina is our limited edition design with only 55 beads available.

Good dreams will pass through and gently slide down the feathers to comfort the sleeper below. However, bad dreams are caught up in its protective net and destroyed/burned up in the light of day.

Do you know bee actually is a very important insect to our environment?
Lot of plants and crops can only grow with existent of bees, as they are the most important pollinators in this world. As a pollinator, they help the growth of farm and wild, they even help the growth of tropical forests, savannah woodlands, and temperate deciduous forests, animals will lose their shelter without these. Besides playing a role as pollinators for plants, bees also a food source, they produce honey not only for humans, but also for other animals and insects, bees themselves are also a part of the food chain.
However, due to climate change for these few years, some flowers blossom season has shifted, lead to bees are lack of food sources when the season starts. Rapid development has also destroyed bees’ habitat. All these result to bee population all around the world decline significantly.

Hive”, and it is a juicy beehive with bee dangles on the hive, there are some bee friendly flowers grow around the hive, bring the meaning to bees as a pollinator role in this ecosystem.
