		We sat down with Guada, the artist behind the polymer clay jewelry brand rae-clay, to learn more about the art of clay jewelry.<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[ &#60;p&#62;Polymer clay jewelry and accessories are made by oven-baked clay, and serve as big and bright &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/serial-shopper/shopping-guide/8-bold-wardrobe-pieces-adorned-with-big-buttons-159373.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;statement pieces&#60;/a&#62; that can spice up any understated outfit. Some established local polymer clay jewelry brands include the Lorem Ipsum Store, Knack.co, and Longue Vue Design. Even though clay jewelry might not the first thing you look for when looking for your next big accessory purchase, die-hard fans that swear by these beautifully &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/serial-shopper/hot-stuff/get-creative-good-company-necklaces-52367.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;handmade products&#60;/a&#62; that can be uniquely yours (and yours only!). &#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;We sat down with Guada, the artist-slash-entrepreneur behind the local polymer clay jewelry brand rae-clay to take a behind-the-scenes look at the art of making clay jewelry and how she&#8217;s using her online platform to establish her new brand. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Note: Answers have been lightly edited for clarity. &#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: Tell us a little bit about yourself. &#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Guada: I&#8217;m Guada, and I&#8217;m a third year anthropology student at Yale-NUS College! I come from Argentina, but I&#8217;ve been living in Singapore for the past few years. I&#8217;ve always been very interested in art and art-making--I took art classes for 12 years before coming to college, and I&#8217;ve always been interested in finding new forms of art.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-317798&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; class=&#34;alignnone size-medium wp-image-317798 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/06/35849136_10212697590970473_7811220028681879552_n-450x600.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;450&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: Tell us about rae-clay. How did this journey begin for you?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Guada: I started rae-clay last October. The beginning of that year, I had taken an art class in college where we were encouraged to make art in accordance to a style that we had learned. One of the styles that really struck me was abstract expressionism, but at that point I was a bit tired of using traditional art materials like paint, canvas, or oil to represent that, and I wanted to explore something new. And at the same time, I had for years been looking for my own medium of art--I&#8217;ve dabbled in photography, dancing, and painting, but I just couldn&#8217;t find something that I could really stick to. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;After taking up pottery classes in my free time, I began growing fond of clay as a material because of its malleability and the fact that I was able to literally make something with my own hands. It was very therapeutic, and I could feel myself improving very quickly because I was so interested in it. To be honest, you become a little bit obsessed with clay and clay-making! &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;One day, I went to go buy earrings for myself--I had wanted big, colorful statement pieces that stood out. But the only ones I wanted were from really expensive, brand-name stores and I couldn&#8217;t afford them. So I just decided to make them myself using polymer clay! I didn&#8217;t go well the first time--the colors didn&#8217;t turn up great, but I kept trying and I was eventually able to make something that I liked. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I posted my pieces on my private Instagram, and within minutes all ten pairs of the earrings I had made were sold out. I&#8217;m also into marketing, so after that I just quickly set up a website, created a brand, and that was the beginning of rae-clay.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: Please tell us more about your mixed clay pieces? How are they made, what is your inspiration behind them?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Guada: As I mentioned before, the aesthetic of rae-clay is very much inspired by abstract expressionism. Abstract expressionism&#8217;s spontaneity and subconscious creation, which breaks away from traditional forms of art and art materials while giving the artist the opportunity to express his or her feelings into the art as it is really inspires me as I create my pieces. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The process of creating the swirls and patterns are quite simple--I play around by mixing different colored clay together and I cut the clay into small pieces. I guess this is another place where abstract expressionism comes in--you never have two pieces of the same pattern, and you really just have to sit down and wait to see what comes out of the mixing process. You have to not be afraid to take risks! After I have my mixed clay ready, I bake it, glaze it to either matte or shiny, assemble the hooks and backs, and then pack everything and ship it. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I still think I have a lot of room to improve, so I&#8217;m constantly trying to perfect my technique by honing the way I make my pieces, by improving the quality of the clay I use, and by talking to professionals polymer clay makers who give me tips and tricks on how to improve my products.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: You mentioned that Instagram kick started your brand.&#160; What is the role of social media within your brand?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Guada: Instagram is a crucial part of rae-clay because that&#8217;s where my main audience is. Not only is there a big online art scene, there&#8217;s also a huge collaboration community on Instagram, so you always have people messaging you to collab--influencers, art directors, photographers, etc. Whenever I have an offer to collaborate with a professional photographer, I sit down with him/her and we try to bring our different aesthetics together.&#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: You were based in Singapore, but now you&#8217;re now going to be based in London for 10 months. How do you think this change will impact your work?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Guada: One change that I&#8217;ve implemented is that I&#8217;m now shipping worldwide, instead of just in Singapore. The reach that I get in London is larger, but it has been a bit difficult to access the London market because London is a much bigger city than Singapore and I don&#8217;t have a lot of personal contacts here either. Nonetheless, I&#8217;m reaching out to work with London-based influencers and with different design shops that accept independent designers. I guess this is a test of whether rae-clay can become more international or not. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: What&#8217;s the most fulfilling experience you&#8217;ve had as an artist?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Guada: I&#8217;m still new to the art and jewelry-making industry, but I just recently had a meeting with a professional photographer, and I was really proud of how I quickly we were able to communicate our aesthetics and what we want out of the collaboration together. Being able to speak the same language as someone who has been in the industry for so long was such an encouraging and fulfilling experience. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MFA: What is next for rae-clay?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Guada: I&#8217;m definitely looking into becoming more involved in collaborations so that I can improve the way I present my products and the way that I market them. That&#8217;s a medium-term goal for me. In the long run, I would love to have a physical boutique, but that&#8217;s definitely a goal I need to think more about before embarking on. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;You can shop for rae-clay products &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.rae-clay.com?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;here&#60;/a&#62; and directly message rae-clay on Instagram &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/rae.clay/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;@rae.clay&#60;/a&#62;.

She is also one of the few women of South Asian heritage to be a &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-news/152513-152513.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;L&#039;oreal ambassador&#60;/a&#62;, following in the footsteps of Aishwarya Rai and Frieda Pinto. Unlike previous commercially successful Indian models like Lakshmi Menon, who did not necessarily look like the classic &#039;Indian girl&#039; in her words, Neelam is every bit identifiably South Asian - something Christopher Bailey, chief creative at Burberry specifically wanted for his campaign.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;As such, in celebration of beauty in its &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-news/fenty-beauty-preview-272123.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;various shades&#60;/a&#62;, sizes, faiths and more, it couldn&#8217;t be more timely to shine a light on South Asian models making their marks in the fashion world.&#160;Browse the &#60;strong&#62;8 South Asian models we&#8217;re absolutely girl crushin&#8217; on in the gallery above&#60;/strong&#62;!&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan &#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Read More:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/fashion-events/chinese-models-2017-victorias-secret-fashion-show-285047.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=2&#34;&#62;Meet the 7 Chinese models confirmed for the 2017 Victoria&#8217;s Secret Fashion Show&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/beauty-news/152513-152513.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Chinese model Xiao Wen is the newest member of the L&#8217;Or&#233;al Paris family&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/south-asian-models-to-watch-287219.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/south-asian-models-to-watch-287219.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

This is monumental considering that, at one point, the idea of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/fashion-news/hijarbie-this-barbie-instagram-account-is-making-waves-online-151327.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#8216;modest Muslim fashion&#8217;&#60;/a&#62; was almost unfathomable - calling to mind images of black burqas and nothing else. However, things appear to be changing - fast.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;This past spring, Vanessa Friedman, The New York Times chief fashion critic, declared &#8216;modest fashion&#8217; (or &#8216;modest-wear&#8217;) a defining trend of 2010s. Asia, in particular, is witness to the surge in modest fashion.&#160;In the recent &#60;strong&#62;2017 edition of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/fashion-week/singapore/sgfw-partners-boutique-fair-215970.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Singapore Fashion Week (SGFW)&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62;, modest fashion took centrestage at the &#60;strong&#62;Modestyle.asia&#60;/strong&#62; showcase, an online portal of modest womenswear labels, featuring an array of womenswear fashion labels from across Asia (like Bangladesh&#8217;s La Reve, Indonesia&#8217;s Dian Pelangi, China&#8217;s Tasmiah) and the Middle East. Even the biggest names in Asia&#039;s e-commerce scene like&#160;&#60;strong&#62;Zalora&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;has its own in-house modest label called Zalia; &#60;strong&#62;Fashion Valet,&#60;/strong&#62; run by hijab-clad business mogul Vivy Yusoff has also attracted a cult fashion following among Malaysia&#039;s fashion savvy Muslims.&#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Globally,&#160;&#60;strong&#62;Dolce &#38;amp; Gabbana&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;released their highly talked about &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-collections/dolce-gabbana-launches-exclusive-line-of-hijabs-and-abayas-146043.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;em&#62;abaya &#60;/em&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-collections/dolce-gabbana-launches-exclusive-line-of-hijabs-and-abayas-146043.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;collection&#60;/a&#62; (i.e. the loose, full-length robes often sported by Muslim women) in 2016, closely followed by&#160;&#60;strong&#62;Uniqlo&#039;s&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-collections/hari-raya-aidilfitri-special-hana-tajima-uniqlo-110996.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;own line of hijabs designed by Hana Tajima&#60;/a&#62;. London also hosted its own Modest Fashion Week earlier this year, in partnership with &#60;strong&#62;Modanisa&#60;/strong&#62;, Istanbul-based modest fashion online destination that carries both luxury and non-luxury labels.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;No doubt, the driving force behind the unprecedented rise of modest wear in mainstream fashion has largely to do with the purchasing power and increased visibility of Muslim women across the world. However, with celebrities like Nigella Lawson spotted wearing a &#039;burkini&#039;, and fashion&#039;s return to embracing higher necklines and longer hemlines (case in point: Erdem x H&#38;amp;M), it suggests that perhaps modest fashion is not just for Muslims or women of faith and has in fact a far more broader appeal. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;In our gallery above, we&#8217;ve curated our favourite modest fashion labels and brands to keep on your radar, and where you can get your modest style clothing items from in the region.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-campaigns/close-loop-hms-diverse-cast-latest-ad-campaign-includes-hijab-wearer-128260.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Close the Loop: H&#38;amp;M&#8217;s diverse cast in latest ad campaign includes a hijab-wearer&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/halal-breakfast-brunch-cafes-singapore-283270.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;7 Utterly Instagram-worthy Halal breakfast and brunch cafes in Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/halal-makeup-260578.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Beauty Junkie: 7 Halal makeup brands you should definitely check out&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/asian-designers/modest-fashion-asia-284872.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/asian-designers/modest-fashion-asia-284872.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		If you thought gold jewelry was too opulent or passé, think again! Here is why gold is not only a sound investment but also a timeless-style guarantee.<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

And be it colourful gems, massive pieces or statement designs, trends come and go. But like a little black dress &#8211; or a diamond &#8211; &#60;strong&#62;gold doesn&#039;t get old&#60;/strong&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;So leave it to the tried-and-true: 916 gold pieces, which not only give you that timeless look but also make a reasonable investment. Whether you&#8217;re planning on keeping them preciously to yourself or passing them down one day, jewels have this &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/medical-news/revealed-women-emotional-67352.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&#62;emotional value&#60;/a&#62; that simply can&#8217;t be found in any other fashion item.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;With this idea in mind, &#60;strong&#62;LeGold has launched Perfect Joy&#60;/strong&#62;, a new collection of 916 gold jewelry sets. The jewelry brand under &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.maxi-cash.com.sg/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&#62;Maxi-Cash&#60;/a&#62;, the leading pawnbroker in Singapore, has created this unique collection to fit every style. From graphic and minimalist elements for a modern feel to intricate and ornate designs for a traditional and elegant style, LeGold&#8217;s Perfect Joy pieces come in a set of three or four; necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring. But you don&#8217;t have to wear them all at once: mixed and matching jewellery is a great way to create a playful look.&#160;But since a picture is worth a thousand words, get inspired by this photo story.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;[uniqlo ids=&#34;214794&#34; full_width=&#34;true&#34;]&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;[uniqlo ids=&#34;214786,214787&#34;]&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;[uniqlo ids=&#34;214791&#34; full_width=&#34;true&#34; parallaxe=&#34;true&#34; ]&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;[uniqlo ids=&#34;214795&#34;]&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Image 1: Pendant from S$168, rings from S$378, bangle from S$638.

At the same time consumers are beginning to sit up and see what exactly these talented individuals have to bring to the table.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Beyond new names though, veteran designer, &#60;strong&#62;Peter Kor&#60;/strong&#62; is also returning to the scene with the relaunch of his eponymous label. Since 1974, Peter Kor has been known for his impeccable finesse in tailoring and unique design sensibilities. It&#039;s no wonder that he has gained quite the loyal following from women of all walks of life.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It&#039;s crucial to note that a Peter Kor piece does not follow trends but instead is a&#160;timeless design that would suit any woman who stands for individuality.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Together with a team of craftsmen, the brand prides itself for creating elegant and comfortable pieces of clothing made with natural fibres. The designs generally carry a hint &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-buys/skincare/skincare-secrets-wonders-asian-herbs-119772.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;of Asian&#60;/a&#62; or rather Orient influence, be it the mandarin collars or the floral prints, to further highlight the roots of the brand.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Expect an entire range of workwear pieces, little black dresses, cheongsams and even bespoke creations that could be worthy of a &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/red-carpet/fashion-forward-10-stylish-asian-celebrities-red-carpet-119551.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;red carpet event&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;div&#62;&#60;em&#62;Peter Kor&#160;Atelier is located at 15A Purvis Street.
