horizon: a bel kai necklace for the capture collection (giveaway!)

Living in the Midwest has provided me with a lifetime of different seasons and ever-changing landscapes. We live through the long, harsh winters just to be rewarded with the stunning beauty of spring, summer and fall. The colors around me are constantly changing, but my favorite combination in nature and life is aqua blue, grass green and rich brown. My own logo and marketing materials utilize this combo and I am often drawn to these colors in clothing. So of course, my camera lens is always on the hunt for these hues.

I'm excited to share my Bel Kai Designs necklace, the latest addition to the Capture Collection of Shutter Sisters photographic jewelry. This piece combines all three of my favorite colors and upon closer inspection the layers of color reveal an image of a wide open green field and blue sky near my hometown. I can't think of a better way to remind me of growth and life throughout the long winter months (and the rest of the year).

We are delighted to be giving away one of these beauties today. Just leave your comment here by Saturday at midnight EST. Just tell us your favorite color scheme.

UPDATE: Congrats to Erin Faye for winning a Horizon necklace!

Oh please pick me! I would love one of your beautiful necklaces. What a great idea!

[Ramona]

I waiver between the greys and blues of the ocean and seaside and the autumn colours of pumpkins and cranberries.

[Lauren]

Well, my favorite color is blue and I like water scenes. But right now, I'm deseperate for the colors of a new england fall....

[froddard]

Mmm. burnt orange and eggplant for energy, sage green and chocolate for strength, redpinkorange for inspiration.

[Beah]

Autumn is my time of year, I love the changing colours of the leaves on the trees because of the cold nights, and the soft blue of the sky. At the seaside the sand contrasts beautifully against the grey sea and mostly grey sky. My fav colour is turquoise b

[RebeccaFH]

I like sky blue and sunny yellow. :)

[Alana Roberts]

I am also from the Midwest and have always enjoyed the colors of the fall season. The browns, oranges and reds of the maples. However, I have moved to the Southwest and am stopped in my tracks so often due to the most amazing display of colors in the evening skies here. What a work of art ! Bravo to our greatest artist !

[Crystal]

I love color so the golds, oranges, and reds of this time of year are my favourites. Thanks for sharing!

[Robin at Recess]

I, too, am a fan of aqua and brown. Love orange, gold and cream thrown in.

[Misty Croney]

In the fall I like deep, rich, crisp colours that you can almost smell. Beautiful necklace.

[Lela]

Beautiful! My fave colors are Fall shades of greens, oranges and pretty yellows

[Bobbi]

I'm loving soft whites (inspired by Parisian decor) with the palest of blues and sandy taupes like a soft blurred beach scene. That being said I am very fickle with color, tomorrow could be orange and purple. I LOVE the necklace, lovely...

[Sandra]

this is beautiful!
my favorite color is always red, but love to combine it with denim blue and chocolate brown.

[Katherine]

Beautiful necklace!!

My favorite colour scheme - chocolate brown, deep red and greyish green. That's how my living room is decorated right now - and its also the beautiful colours I see when looking out my window on this amazing fall day!

Thanks!

This time of year, the angle of the light is just divine! All the blue skies appear more blue, the yellows more golden.

Great giveaway!

[Jess]

I love earth tones, especially when there's a deep red thrown in.

That field feels like home.

[Meghan]

I live in the Midwest and know exactly what you mean. Gorgeous. I love oranges and blues, blues and greens. Hard to narrow though!!

[Joanna (Questionable Housekeeping)]

Fall colors are my favorite. Fiery reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, browns, and green. Beautiful.

[melody]

Currently, I feel like aqua and butter cream.

LOVE your design!

[Diane]

Mmmm... gold, red, orange in the fall and then whites, grays, blues, and greens in the winter and then shades of green and gold and white in the spring... Maybe I don't have a favorite, maybe it is ever shifting. The necklace is a beauty.

[blissmamaof3]

My favorite color scheme is barn red, latte brown and ivory.

[Kathleen]

I have always loved the colors of the beach: pale tan sand, the shades of blue water, the green beach grass standing in the dunes, the robin's egg blue sky...

[Jessica]

Beautiful necklace! I love dark and light blues together.

[Elise]

I can't get enough of the brights - turquoise, red, yellow and white.

[Jen]

[christine]

i'm not sure where i've been...i just discovered your lovely blog. LOVE the photography meets jewelry! as far as color goes, i can't help myself: the warm colors of fall get me everytime. sometimes with a gray-blue to change it up.

[Saraya]

I have to say, from growing up in Colorado...seeing the slate gray storm clouds come rolling over the purple mountains and touch down on the golden prairie surrounding our home...that's the MOST beautiful color scheme to me. It always brings the scent of rain to my nose!

[Tammy Lee Bradley]

I am currently obsessing over everything aqua and lime green. :)

[Kathy Jo Camamcho]

turquise, brown and beige. Love it!

[magpiejst]

the color of that leaf - sage green - is my most favorite
color paired with the blue of old turquoise and the silver
that lines clouds. charming necklace.
