Color Inspiration - Beach Day

by Nancy Chase
A beach day morning is a welcome sight for most of us. The quiet waves, seagulls cry, briny air.

This color inspiration was used to create the jewelry-making pattern: Beach Day Bracelet
This is an expansive, simple color palette of blues and beiges. A scattering of white shells, clouds in the sky, greet the grey green sand and sea.

I've chosen unpolished lapis, unpolished green stones, and round clear crystal beads for this walk-along-the-shoreline beach jewelry.

A weighty silver chain holds the stones in a rhythm of blue, then green. Each drop is held on either side by small round silver beads, and silver disks. Stacked on a wire headpin, and loop wrapped to make it a charm.

Secured by jump rings, the stones dangle lightly on the wrist. Anchored by crystal beads at the ends, this feels like a lucky charm - a memory already of summery days.
