I love the soft, muted colors that winter brings the Oregon coast. Soft pinks, muted hues.
I created a soft, whimsical, ocean inspired necklace and earrings set for the winter inspiration design challenge by ArtBeads.

I choose small, soft pink, button freshwater pearls to anchor the design. I used glowing crystal copper Swarovski roundelle crystals with antiqued fluted copper beads to add intrigue and finished with a large copper pendant in a sand dollar shape.


I've never worked with button pearls before and I must say, I am delighted with them. Their soft pink color is very consistent.
The deary, wet days of winter are coming to a close but in the meantime, creating jewelry always brightens my day.
Cheers, Jenni
