[Bridal Jewelry] Something New & Pale Blue

Some of my best ideas come from sudden inspiration and necessity. This is why I almost never say no!

I got a text from my friend Stephanie from Farrell Photography, and she told me they were doing a photo shoot and needed some jewelry for the model, Andra, to wear with the wedding dress. Did I have anything they could borrow? I said, “Absolutely, send me pic of the dress and I will have something ready for you in a couple of days!”

Before: Inspiration and Design 

After looking at the photo of this wedding dress, I immediately sat down and starting laying out my design. I wanted the necklace to consist mostly of pearls and crystals. However, I imagined the slightest touch of blue, so I included pale blue crystals as well.

As you can see in the layout image, I envisioned a clustering of the the pearls and crystals with three pear-shaped crystal drops.  As I created the piece, it changed slightly, but only by adding more crystals and pearls for a fuller clustering and using a smaller link chain. I also added a few pearls within the chain to separate the clusters and to fade the design up into the chain.

Since the necklace is the statement, the earrings are just gold posts with the same crystal drops. The hair accessories (a headband and hair comb) are lovely additions to complete the whole look. Those pieces are made with just clear crystals and pearls. Only the necklace has the subtle blue crystals.

After: Finished Look

Thank you so much to Farrell Photography for allowing me to be part of their photo shoot and the lovely Andra Mortensen for modeling the pieces so well! These pieces are now available in my online store.
