Night of the Shaman
Congratulations to Andrew Thornton, the winner of our Design Challenge for September 2012! Our blog readers voted his “Night of the Shaman” bracelet their favorite.
Andrew drew his inspirations from “the mystical and ethereal quality of Boulet’s work and wanted to translate that into my interpretation. I used a muted color palette with pops of color, incorporating an eclectic mix of materials. To represent the moons, I used seven white lotus seeds. This “collected look” is the perfect backdrop to showcase the talismans and nature-themed charms from Nina Designs”.

Our Editor’s Pick for this challenge is Mary Choi’s’ “Seven Silver Moons” necklace! We love its modern appeal and simplicity.
Seven Silver Moons
Mary was inspired by the “melancholy mood of the painting. The seven moons inspired me to use moonstones that have flashes of light. I incorporated labradorite beads that flash blue and green to match the color scheme of the painting. Nina Design circles create my version of the seven moons”.
