I hope that you would have all enjoyed reading about Indigo and how it inspired me to create Blue Gold – Indigo Jewelry collection in the first post of the series. Though, I intended to post about the necklaces immediately I got caught up in the interdepartmental culturals at the college where I work. I participated in group dance, drama and ofcourse the Fashion show that I researched for and styled apart from walking the ramp. It was great fun as I was doing a full show after my school days. But as it was also the last week of semester it was extremely hectic. Nevertheless, I found some time to make some jewelry.

Here they are, a few necklaces from the Blue gold jewelry collection inspired by the Indigo dye. They are statement making and have metal components in them. They are all for sale with complimentary beaded earrings.

Blue gold necklaces

Royal Blue:

Indigo was patronized by rulers from all over the world. From Byzantine emperors to Rajput kings, this blue colors with a hint of purple was a staple in their wardrobes. Though both Blue pottery and Indigo are quintessentially Indian, they give off a British vibe when put together. This may attributed to the fact that English designs were heavily influenced by Indian traditions during their colonial rule. In this necklace I have use silver foiled and compressed glass beads, silver spaces, ceramic beads, and a stone focal. Designed with a minimal yet bold aesthetic in mind the melange of these striking components is an ode to that era of design fusion.

Añil basket

In the Seventeenth Century indigo became one of the chief articles of trade of both the Dutch and the British East India Companies. As a result Spaniards and British start producing Indigo In other colonies. Honduras, Saint Domingo, Jamaica eventually became the major producers of indigo and “Neel” became “añil”. For this necklace, I took inspiration from the flat Baskets of Honduras that have colored accents in them. The pendant of this necklace is double layered – domed brass flower with patina inks on a wire woven base. Apart from silver foiled and compressed glass beads, this necklace has a lot of chalcedony beads which is said to promote positivity and harmony.

Tree of Life

For someone who finds it hard to create just one piece in Monochrome, it was hard for me to create an entire collection of blues. So it was only natural that I added some complementary accents. This necklace has a Turquoise tree of life metal focal along with a turquoise round and howlite beads. The blues are in ceramic, patterned glass and crystal with a pop of red orange round. I created this necklace to go with summer whites and it comes with simple crystal earrings.

With that I come to the end of this post on Blue Gold necklaces that have metal components in them. I have two more sets of necklaces left. One with fabric and fibre and the other set comprises of simple beaded necklaces. All Necklaces are available for sale and I ship all over the world.

      Thanks Neena. I have always admired how you use similar crystals in your work. I finally found a way to use them in one of my designs

    I love the necklace where you’ve used the ceramic blue and white beads with the gold coloured wire to compliment it.

    I used to not love blue so much but gradually learned to use and like it. The necklaces are a tribute to Indigo blue and each has a character of its own! The brass focal is very unique and so is the arrangement of the beads in the Tree of Life necklace – it looks like it has two focal points, very interesting! The combination of crystals and pottery beads is another winner idea!

      Thanks Rozantia. I really struggled with the tree of life necklace. I had lost the other metal focal and did not know how to balance the piece. It took 2-3 days to complete it. I am not a blue person too, so this collection is indeed a challenge for me

    I think the Royal Blue necklace is my favorite of the three, but I also really love the lone burst of red paired against the turquoise in the Tree of Life necklace. As always your color pairings are just beautiful!
