MeiMei Chinese Dragon Series
(Miss China 2013 薇薇 MeiMei Shiu. Picture by Tillie Ariantho 2012 Dec in the Miss Virtual World Pageant.)
Back to the late 2012, Miss 薇薇 MeiMei Shiu approached me to design a jewel set for her Miss Virtual World Pageant in representing Miss China. And comes up this Chinese Dragon Series. After-then, I was busy and sick in real life. This original set was keeping in my inventory without any release until this year. When Miss 薇薇 MeiMei Shiu invited me to her La Metallique Fair, this set brought up to my mind! For me, this dragon set is representing this beauty. Since 2013 when I was away from sl, this lady started her own business successfully in sl. Just like a caterpillar took off the skin and change into butterfly in its development. "Skin of the Dragon" suddenly comes up to my mind. So I designed the dragon scale necklace for her fair.
The Dragon series is named after Miss 薇薇 MeiMei Shiu.
The primary full set is consisting of Dragon headpieces, Dragon earring and dragon ball earring set, Dragon scale earrings, Dragon bracelet with dragon ball ring (龍吐珠系列), Jade bracelet (not release yet), and Dragon head ring. While the dragon scale necklace and the dragon scale bracelets are designed afterward in this year.
When 薇薇 MeiMei Shiu approached me to design a jewel set for her pageant in Chinese Dragon and Qing Dynasty theme, I was thinking to design a hat piece which the Qing Queen worn. But as I don't know how to make something in sculpted prim or Mesh, I finally change my mind to a hat-liked headpieces. In Chinese legend, the Chinese dragon always comes with a dragon ball, which is the spirit of the dragon. I crafted a dragon which holding a dragon ball. Dragon is the top of the world in Chinese tale. The expression of the dragon cost me a lot of time to craft in expressing how royal and how strong the dragon is. The Miss China head piece are in gold and silver's tone with teal eyes. Gold is the signature of Chinese. Silver used to help showing the details of the whole dragon. I select teal not red for the eye, as I want to express the soft and gentle of the beauty. And Blue is my brand colour, which is another reason I choose this colour tone for the spirit of the whole pieces the eye. The colour gems for the special edition is selected this year when I want to match the new scale necklace and express the successful and colourful sl life for 薇薇 MeiMei Shiu.
TRANSFER only.
Due to prim limitation, this headpiece have to be attached to 2 body point.
Inside each pack, you will find "No bright" and "Full bright" version for the non- modifiable pieces. So no need to worry about wearing "a bright light" under the dark anymore. While you can still see what my designs original colour in "full bright" version.
(nb) stands for "no bright"
This dragon earring, which wear in left ear, is designed to match the headpiece. It was designed to balance the headpiece. The original design of the right earring was the dragon scale earring in jade (please refer to the 1st pic) . But Mui Mukerji, the CMO, suggested that the scale one seems not really match the dragon earring well. I thought it is right that it will be comes out so bulky if without the headpiece. Therefore, I make a simple dragon ball earring in matching this piece. So in this pack, there is a pair of dragon ball earrings and a dragon earring for the left ear.
Except the special edition, all are TRANSFER only. The special edition is COPY only that is for member only. Details can be found in the last paragraph.

Calypso the Greek goddess
Calypso was my last year Nov 2011 virtual jewelry design which specially designed for the MVW Miss Greece 2012- Miss Calypso Oliphaunt for her formal section of the pageant.
I get inspiration from traditional Greek Olive leaf, flag of Greek, Greek goddess tales and Calypso formal gown from Mami Jewell. Blue Sapphire and diamonds are selected as the gems for this design is because of the colour of the Greece's flag are mainly blue and white.
Due to prim limitation, this necklace have to be wear to 2 body attachment point.
P.S. This length of the necklace is base on Mui Mukerji's Super Model III shape to design.
Apart from this Greece version, I made the white version in platinum for the white lovers. In order to give details of this Calypso, the diamonds here I used are not just pure white but also some very pale babyblue diamonds.
