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.

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.

The right hand side of Dragon scale earring was designed to match the headpiece and the left dragon earring in my original design for Miss 薇薇 MeiMei Shiu. After I designed the Dragon scale necklace for the La Metallique Fair, I found this earring match the necklaces a lot. So I make it as a pair and comes up with this pair of earrings.

A man fall in love with a lady even he know this lady has another one by her side for long. He want to give her something special if one day she accept his love. He just like an angel body guard keep staying beside this lady. He build an empty sim just for her. He plan to put this ring in that sim until this lady accept his love & get this girl go to the sim. According to this sweetest man, green is her colour while blue is his.

So I design this ring for him. The story behind this ring...

I use the emerald as the main gem for this design that represent she is the one of the only one in his world. Even there are many admirer arround her, even right now he is not the one in her heart. He will around her protect her & love her. So I use sapphire (represent him) to surround the main Emerald but behind many tiny white diamonds. White Diamond & seagreen diamonds are used the cover the ring band. Just make it more splendid and represent how important is this lady in his heart. and represent how successful is this man & this lady in Second life the Virtual world. I use the lady's name to titled this ring.

Custom engagement ring for my friend

NOT FOR SALE just for sharing the picture of my artpieces to you.

This was my early Feb 2009 custom engagement ring design for my friend Dancer Dallagio. If you know Stiletto Moody Shoes, you will be familiar with this name ^^ This ring if crafted by regular prims with no scuplties including.


Story behind design:-
The teardrop in the middle represent her. Lady= tears. It gather many kind of tears~ happy, sad, happiness, anger, love, sweet.. etc all the memory between she & he. The curve pattern besides represent his hands. He use his hands to protect her. The round diamond on the top means "you are the only one in my life". AT the side of the ring (left botton corner), there is a "D" and a "J" that is the first letter of she & he. The middle heart with one diamond means his and her heart already link together to form one & only one. He & she will love each other forever after.

The overall meaning of this ring is .... He will be the protector of she in his whole life. They will share their happiness, love, tears, all memory together in their new stage of life. Their love will be last forever just like diamond.. eternity.

Congratulations Dancer and her fiance. Hope you enjoy this special ring I designed for you .
