By Invite Only's 2nd Anniversary

Fir and I braved the downpour on Thursday evening to attend BIO's 2nd anniversary and launch of their new collection 'The Higher Being' held at A Curious Teepee.

The collection comprised of pieces made from precious stones and was modern and simple. These pieces looked better in reality, reflecting light off their faceted surfaces. Glimmering and sparkling, each piece of jewelry was eye-catching in its own way.














Our favorite pieces were laid out on a bare wooden table, a huge rainbow quartz stones served as pendants to gold chains peppered with tiny triangles and teardrop embellishments. From a distance, these black rocks looked almost normal, but as I came closer, they seemed to have a magical property, shining in a different colour when I looked at it from different angles.












Prices for jewelry adorned with larger precious stones range from about $100 to $350. However, The Higher Being collection is an extensive one, having more affordable pieces that start from $69.





Cupcakes and vodka were provided for guests at the party, as they mingled in the cosy cafe area at A Curious Teepee. We hung out with our friends from Fever Avenue, munched on cupcakes and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, and lounge-y tunes courtesy of the DJ at A Curious Teepee. Unfortunately, both Fir and myself had to rush off and I didn't manage to buy myself a lovely crystal necklace. Looks like I'm going to head back there to get my hands on one of the pieces soon.

Heavenly handcrafted jewellery

By Invite Only is based in Singapore and specializes in handmade jewellery and accessories.

On October 6, By Invite Only will be launching their new collection The Higher Being, at A Curious Teepee to mark its second anniversary. The collection, which is a premium range, features crystals and raw semi precious stones incorporated into pieces that are bold and contemporary. As always, each piece will be painstakingly handcrafted by the designer herself, so expect limited pieces and one of a kind finds.

There will be a new spin in these pieces which feature crystals such as Citrine, Quartz, Amethyst, Pyrite as well as more rare stones like Titanium Aura Quartz, Opal Aura Quartz and Cobalt Aura Quartz.

The pieces also pay tribute to Mother Nature, hence the interesting and apt name for the collection, The Higher Being. 

What's more, each type of crystal is said to possess unique properties such as dispelling negative energy, promoting success in business as well as healing and improving mental, physical and emotional well-being. And trust me, I've heard alot about this (since my mom is a Fengshui junkie and makes me carry or wear crystal pieces all the time). 

Whether you believe in the mystical properties of these rocks, visit A Curious Teepee from October 6 onwards to view these heavenly pieces that designer Trixie Khong has made with love.

You might just find yourself being magically drawn to these pieces, or find a piece or two calling you to be its wearer.
