Jewelry Sketches From Orchid

Orchid from my garden bloomed beautifully. Orchid is commonly grow in our country and I love it in my garden because it is easy to maintain and long lasting. I especially love the intense color of purple and in contrast to white. Started with some sketches of initial idea, I think I am going to play with the colors or shapes.

Pearl choker or pearl collar

The history of the choker dates back ancient time, believed from the world’s earliest civilizations, the Sumer empire in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. As pearl is timeless and has long lasting beauty, pearl choker or collar is making the trend back, Kate Middleton has worn a pearl choker or pearl collar which is a royal family heirloom during the Windsor Castle’s reception. The same piece also worn by Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth before. 

Navaratna Pendant And Ring

During the old time, Navaratna Nine Gems was mainly worn by the kings and the emperors (Maharaja) as a special pendant. Since every one of these gemstones is related with a divine deity, the mix of these nine gems is believed to summon the infinite forces of eminent bodies in totality.
 
As indicated by Hindu astrology, life on earth is affected by the navagrahas, or nine planets. Each of these navagrahas particularly impacts the life of a person as per their position on the individual's horoscope. Each planet has a related gemstone which thus can saddle the intensity of the cosmic rays related with that specific planet. From this, Navaratna or the combination of nine gems is believed to balance the impact of the navagrahas in an individual's emotion, mental and materials status. The popular wearing are Navaratna pendant or Navaratna ring.
