Gold and red necklace set

It's been a while since I posted in this space. I have been busy on a very special project that's taking a lot of my time, it's something big and exciting and I will share more details about it very soon in this space. Even with this busy schedule I have managed to make a few pieces of jewelry in this time,  but I  haven't had the time to actually take pictures, etc so I sometimes do not get the chance to blog about it. 

Here's one I made recently, with the main colors of gold and brick . I kept the design of the beads and the pendant very simple. For the matching earrings I decided to go with jhumkas/ jimkis/ Indian chandelier earrings instead of a matching miniature pendant design. Since the colors are so classic, this set really works with most kind of Indian dresses, salwars and sarees :)

Clay Earrings ~ Amethyst colored Jhumkas

Clay jewelry has always been something I admired and it has been on my list of things to try for a while now. Finally in the last few weeks I got around to trying out some basic beads and shapes with clay and have enjoyed the process so far. This jhumkas (bell shaped Indian earrings) are one of the first projects I completed with clay. 



I kept the design pretty basic this time since I was just starting out with this kind of jewelry. Painted the clay a nice metallic rhinestone color and used some rhinestone to add some contrast and border. I also added a small tear drop bead to hang from the center to give it that authentic jhumka feel :)
