Silver wire wrapped peacock bracelet with silver, blue and aqua spirals


If you've been reading this blog for a while, it's become pretty obvious that one of my favorite colors to use for my work at Naomi's Designs and MayaGirl Creations is blue. Hell, a recent post was a photo gallery devoted to blue jewelry pieces in honor of the cold weather. But the real reason why I like blue so much is not because I'm a fan of the cold (though I do like the winter) but because blue reminds me of the sky and ocean -- two things that I find to be very relaxing.

Today I made a blue version of my silver wire wrapped bubble bracelet. I've nicknamed it a "peacock" bracelet, though, because the spirals of silver, blue and aqua remind me a bit of peacock's patterns:

When I began the bracelet my plan was to use silver and aqua wire, but I saw the darker blue wire sitting there and well, I just couldn't resist incorporating it into the design. I like the tri-colored look, though; I think that the different blues work well together and really bring out the silver base.

Now that I've made a few of these with a silver base, I'm excited to try some other colors like copper with bronze. Or maybe I'll just do something out there like make a rainbow bracelet. We'll see...

Photo Gallery: Wire wrapped and enamel nautical themed jewelry for summer


Summer is here, which means it's time for one of my favorite activities: swimming!

I absolutely love water. I love to walk by the ocean, take boat rides, hang out by a lake or even just lounge around the pool. Water is gorgeous, relaxing to be near ... and kind of scary, too, because it's probably the most powerful force in nature.

When it comes to my jewelry, water is also an inspiration. I often work with the color blue or make pieces that remind me of ocean waves. Here are a few of my favorites, from my shell-shaped silver wire wrapped spiral necklace with Swarovski crystals to my wire wrapped swimming fish rings to my ocean blue enamel necklaces. Enjoy -- and be sure to check out my shops Naomi's Designs and MayaGirl Creations!
