Color Inspiration - Cobalt Blue Glassware

by Nancy Chase
Collecting cobalt blue glassware has been a pastime of mine for a while now. The bright, deep shade of this color speaks to my affectionate side - blue is said to be a color of trust.

This color inspiration was used to create the jewelry-making pattern: Cobalt Blue Glass Earrings
Cobalt blue is a vivid shade originally derived from combining cobalt oxide with aluminum. Though toxic, it has been used to color Chinese porcelain for over a thousand years.

Cobalt is a cool color with a connection to nature. It is considered to represent friendship, and authority.

Cobalt blue is soothing and peaceful. It can suggest richness. Like azure and other medium blues, its qualities symbolize stability and calmness.

It is the color of the ocean and the sky. It often symbolizes serenity, inspiration and wisdom. The color also inspires ingenuity, and enlightenment.

This blue glass earring set is made with 20-gauge silver craft wire, small blue rondelle glass beads, and a cobalt glass drop fashioned with a small glass bead on either side.

It is made with a 22-gauge headpin to hold it together. Silver ear wires complete the work.

Channel some serenity in this summer season with a pair of blue glass bead, bead drop, and silver wire earrings.
