Color Inspiration- In The Garden

by Nancy Chase
Inspired by the colors of the garden, Nancy Chase brings attention to an often-overlooked place of adornment, the waist! This fluid double-strand chain, accented with malachite drops and warm golden tones, blends nature's palette with a fresh, elegant twist on jewelry design.
We often think of our necks, arms, and fingers as places of adornment.

Our waists want a little attention too, from time to time.

I created this fluid, double strand of chain that drapes in curves and is caught up in malachite drops.

The malachite drops are wrapped loop bails using 22 gauge gold colored wire.

Malachite, like the colors of leaves and flowers in this photo, with evergreen, greenish blue, and lighter greens, forms opaque green bands of crystal.

The dull orange, light orange, and jasmine color imagine the radiance of the delicate chain.

Finished with a gold filled lobster clasp, this chain can be custom made to fit each waistline perfectly.
