Sky and ocean blues have had my mind spinning with inspiration for the past few weeks. There's something about how dark blues fade to light, heavy colors turn soft, and everything just works. The sky is soft and the ocean's waves swirl with detail. It's all beautiful. I just love how the cool shades of blue and ease of the color are so naturally calming. With this inspiration and a craving to be closer to nature, I scoured a local beads shop's collection of semiprecious stones. Turquoise, blue agate, sea foam crystals, they're all so perfect. Paired with simple sterling silver hoops, the blue stones take me back to a calm day on the beach.
Lucky 7. Donut shaped amazonites and mini crystals on silver hoops.
Hemimorphite sandwiched between two labradorites. My favorite labradorite detail is the slight iridescent blue that glimmers between gray specks. It's a small detail but so lovely.
Hemimophite and turquoise. The varying specks on the turquoise remind me of sand.
And, since hearts are always on my mind, 2 of hearts hoop earrings.
I'm feeling blue, but a good kind of blue :) For more photos, see here.Happy Thursday.
