Shutter Sisters

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

By

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).๏ปฟ

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!

  2. i love it! i was raised in the midwest and i miss those flat lines along the horizon. the necklace reminds me of playing softball in clover fields during the day and coming back at night to chase fireflies.

  11. Bright happy colours like pink and lime green and turquoise; these are the colours I have in my craft room. Just discovered this website, its lovely and I hope Santa brings me your new photography book for Christmas, LOL!

  16. I love beach colors–creams, tans. blues and greens with a vibrant orange or pink thrown in sometimes (for sunset or sunrise)

  19. I love shades of pink against light greens. I like the bright contrast that grabs your eye, like a pink shirt against a blurred background of green grass or green leaves.

  27. I too love the seasons of the Midwest. Moving here from California two years ago I am enjoying the changing colors. Spent a couple hours yesterday out capturing the fall colors. Love all of the yellows, oranges, and reds.

  29. The brilliant oranges, reds, and golds of the foliage of the Blue Ridge mountains against a Carolina blue sky!

  32. I love warm tones. Reds, oranges and deep yellowy green coupled with brown. Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful necklace!

  37. So beautiful.

    I love fall. My colors – either dusky blue and sage green, or my current obsession, gray and burnt orange rust.

  40. i love the deep pinks, oranges and reds against the deepiening blues of the desert sunsets

  42. I too live in the Midwest and as bad as the winters can be (in Chicago and surrounding burbs), I would not change a thing or move. I love the changing seasons and what goes with them (Fall being my favorite). I also do love browns and blue colors. Little by little they are creeping into my home and my projects.

  43. I love greens of all shades. Living in the Pacific Northwest, I get to see many, many shades. This summer I went to Ireland and was Completely. Blown. Away. by the iridescent greens. Add that to a backdrop of ocean blue/grey/aqua and I'm in heaven.

  46. Lovely! My go-to combination would probably be white, a light teal-blue, and tan, as far as clothes are concerned.

    In looking for photo ops in the nature scene, it would be looking for that outlining glow of plants and trees from golden rays of sunlight ๐Ÿ™‚

  50. great necklace!

    currently i'm totally loving white with gray. and white with eggplant purple, maroon, and chocolate brown. have a bed in these colors!

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

  53. 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….

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

  55. 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

  57. 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 !

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

  62. 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…

  65. 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!

  69. I love combos with chocolate brown….mint green and chocolate, baby blue and chocolate and pink with chocolate brown.

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

  80. i love combining dark grey/brown/black with orange/red/yellow and playing around with these combinations -throwing in a little blue too ๐Ÿ™‚
    what a gorgeous necklace to add to the collection!

  82. 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.

  84. 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…

  89. 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.

  90. 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!

  93. 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.

  97. Very well article! In your blog you arrange some information about horizon.I like it very much. Iโ€™m simply in love with it and if you ask me to describe it in a word. Anyone can to know by it effective information on
