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 :)

Gold Clay ~ Terracotta Necklace

Tweet

A while back, I made a clay necklace set  in a combination of a dull antique gold and maroon. I don't think I ever posted the pictures of that set in this space. Anyway I particularly loved that piece and even as I completed it, I thought I would love to try something with a brighter gold finish with both maroon and green in it.

The combination of gold with maroon and green is such a classic one and I have seen so many dresses and sarees with this color combination. A couple of months back I finally got around to trying this color combination for this clay necklace. I kept the gold color more prominent , with just a little bit of the other two colors and went with an oval pendant for this necklace. It was a fun project, I hope to be able to make something similar with other color combinations soon :)

Metallic green and copper clay ~ Terracotta Necklace set

Tweet

One of the best parts about working with clay is that for every project it is like starting with a blank canvas, there is no limitation on shape, size of beads or pendants making the choices for each project pretty almost endless and pretty amazing.

Here is another one of the polymer clay/ terracotta necklace sets I made recently. I went with a metallic green , copper and black color combination for this set. For the pendant I went with a square shape but decided to use a round shape for the earrings. This is the first time I tried this kind of a shape combination and liked it quite a bit. This set works well with any kind of Indian dress like a salwar kameez or sari.

Pink and Amethyst Clay ~ Terracotta Necklace Set

Tweet

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been working a lot with polymer clay ~ terracotta these past few weeks. I am totally hooked on to it, every minute I get,  I am either working on it or thinking up ideas for this type of jewelry. So far I am totally enjoying the process and have begun to get more comfortable with this style of jewelry making :)



This pink and amethyst set is one of the first ones that I have tried using silk thread for the necklace.  The thread makes the necklace very light and simple, making it perfect to dress up any simple top/ casual wear or Indian dresses like salwar kameez.

Green and Rust Clay ~ Terracotta Necklace Set

Tweet

These past few weeks I have been working a lot with clay and I have to admit I find it fascinating. To be able to create beads and pendants of the design and color of your choice is very exciting. But initially the thought of making an entire necklace from clay was very intimidating. Even though I was a little daunted by the thought I took it on because I wanted to try at least one.

 

One of the first pieces I made was in a neutral metallic gold and brick red color that I really loved. I haven't taken a picture of that piece yet, when I do will post in this space. Once that turned out well, I began getting more  enthusiastic to try more of this kind of jewelry.  This is the second necklace I made with clay, I went with a classic green and rust combination for this one. Let me know what you think of this. In the meanwhile I am off to work on some more pieces :)
