Garden-Inspired Jewelry

I love making jewelry using color combinations found in natural life.  It seems like flowers and other plantlife make the best color statements.  Recently, I was inspired by the March 2008 cover of Martha Stewart Living magazine to make a gemstone-embellished necklace

I just loved the bright greens paired with the deep pinks and purples – so pretty!  Can you imagine having a garden like that?

The necklace features chalk turquoise, Russian amazonite, and Peridot-colored Swarovski crystals, which remind me of the greens – both light and dark – in the photo.  I also added some amethyst, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals in Fushia and Amethyst to represent the purple and deep pink blooms peeking from the greens.  The necklace includes sterling silver components and is a steal at only $45 for all those amazing materials in one beautiful, garden-inspired design.  Email me at thechiclife at gmail dot com if you’re interested.
