I just took a
stroll through my closet and I only need one hand to count the number of blue
items hiding out in there; excluding jeans, of course! Interesting. I guess it
might be safe to say that I am not particularly fond of the color blue in
clothing or home goods. However, another side of me loves the blue colors that
come in the form of rocks, gemstones and art glass. Chalcedony, agate, sodalite,
lapis and pietersite…are a few of the gifts we get from ol’ Mom Nature! I am
also drawn to a variety of vintage Czech glass buttons that are blue and gilded with gold
and silver and love working with them whenever I can.
In their
infinite wisdom, Pantone put a couple of shades of blue in the Fashion Color
Report for Fall 2014. If you are a bit like me and not too crazy about blue
clothes (royal, bright cobalt or any other variety) you might find that you do
love jewelry crafted with rich blues tossed with silver, gunmetal and even pale
gold. The good news about the jewelry shown here is that it isn’t particularly
trendy. Wait – that’s a good thing…why? Because it means that you can create
your unique personal style while still giving a nod to fashion trends. Does
that make sense? The better news is that long after the trendy blues have come and
gone, you’ll still be sporting the jewelry from my collection (aka your
collection) that you buy today and years ago. Yes, each piece is crafted to endure the test of time – so sorry...no disposable
jewelry here.
Now, if you
happen to just love the color blue – then you’re a lucky duck since the pieces shown
here and on Tanya Lochridge Jewelry will give an added spark to your fashions; and because they aren’t
produced in mega-quantities, you’ll feel as if you have your own personal
jeweler. And, hey, it’s fine if you refer to me as just that because, in
reality, I love when you do!
