Yesterday was a beautiful spring day. I went for a walk with my camera and found so many beautiful plants growing everywhere I looked. Among these plants were these vibrant red flowers. I ended up taking this picture of them.
Many of the pictures I took inspired me to create some springy jewellery, but the red flowers and blue sky spoke to me the most!!
I decided to make a multi gemstone cluster necklace that features genuine red ruby and a blue chalcedony gemstone all wire wrapped in sterling silver. The ruby is abosolutely gorgeous just like the red flowers and the blue hold the same moody contrast that the sky has in the photo.
Yeah spring will be here soon, I can feel it. Other than the fact that I really need to go snowboarding a couple more times before the season ends I can't wait to feel the warm sun on my skin and see all of the greenery popping up from the ground and leaves on the trees!
I love incorporating leaves into my designs. They are so pretty and each one is always different so there is always that mysterious, natural, unrefined look to the jewellery when I am doing a leaf piece. By far my favourite jewellery to create is all of the pieces with leaves in them!
