This week the featured item in my Fashion Magpie Jewellery shop is a brand new item, I've only just listed for sale. It is called the Blue and Red Necklace.
Its made with one of my favourite materials to work with, Jewel Enamel. I first discovered jewel enamel while watching the jewellery maker channel and found them featuring this brilliant stuff which melted down from a powder quickly to a liquid which could be poured into mould and then set within a minute and could be handled. I feel in love instantly and I've never looked back.
The pendant for this necklace is made with Apitite blue and Burmese Flame which is a red jewel enamel which has a gold frosted look when it's melting.
Each time I pour jewel enamel into a mould I never know what result I'm going to get which is half the fun of working with it. This particular pendant looks fantastic I love the flowing lines and mix of the colours.
Originally I had been planning to make this necklace mainly blues but the pendant dictated the colours to me and I decided instead to work mainly with red and accents of deep turquoise.
I placed the pendant on a bead board and planned my necklace on there, experimenting with how much turquoise I could use and trying not to go over board with the red.
The design only goes as high as the collar bone and then I used bronze chain to go behind the neck making it 24 inches long when worn.
To buy this Red and Blue Necklace it is £12.95 with £3.20 UK postage and packaging. I also do international postage.
