I was asked to give a presentation this month on a patient of ours who passed away from the Swine Flu. It's nerve-wracking to give this type of presentation for doctors as the conference can turn into a wicked blame game amongst physicians.
Not only did I want to present the information well, but I wanted to look and feel confident and calm. I don't know how many of you have heard about color symbolism, but each color can represent many qualities. I didn't realize how many until I looked them up.
For my presentation I choose a professional, gray dress that I bought a couple months ago from Banana Republic. It was perfect for the presentation, but definitely required some accessories. I chose simple silver earrings, but needed a great necklace... One that would be tranquil and conservative and show confidence as well.
This beach glass necklace from Pacific Jewelry Designs was perfect for the occasion. Not only did it go well with my outfit, but it definitely calmed my nerves every time I looked in the mirror. The presentation went well and we all learned how to be better physicians.
I must thank Paula, the designer behind Pacific Jewelry Designs, for helping me through the presentation as she was kind enough to send me the necklace to review.
Paula had been designing jewelry for several years. She began simply by making jewelry for herself. Being an artist for several years, inspirations for her designs come from many places. Sometimes it is the beads, mother nature, COLORS, or really anything.
Paula loves her work and would like to share it with one of you as she is offering a giveaway of the same beach glass necklace to one of my readers!

My favorite color is blue, in any shade, from a nice pale blue, to a bright sky blue, to a turquoise, to a deep royal blue, to a nice purple-blue. I don't really know how to say how they make me feel, but I enjoy being surrounded by a sea of different blues.

I like the PURPLE CRAZY LACE AGATE NECKLACE & EARRINGS SET
I like the Lilac. This color bit muted, but not without glamor.
Love the sophistication and updated look of the Jet Pendant. I so love beach glass and want to do something with the few pieces I have...I'd like to hang in a window somehow, but don't know how to go about that.
I love aqua and greens together. So calming and peaceful. I am hoping to finish up my sewing room in these colors...I have a great start to it as I painted the walls last spring. Quite a bit of blue, but once I paint the ceiling and trim white it'll tone it down. Will accent with greens...I just love that beachy feel!

melaniesands[at]yahoo[dot]ca
It's funny how my favourite colours have changed over the years. When I was young, it was all about being "out there" - bright purples with clashing red, that sort of thing. Now I seem to be more about "in here" - I like deep rich colours like Espresso or Royal Blue, that make me feel grounded and centered and calm!
Great giveaway - thanks for the chance to participate!

Hi,
What great artistic talent. So many beautiful pieces. Tooo many to chose a favourite.
Deep in the Forest would have to be one of the favourite favourites.
Thank you
caron.chester@gmail.com
Hi,
Up until only recently, when someone asked what my favourite colour was, I would always say I don't really have a favourite as I love all colours for different reasons.
Then I realised how many shades of green were in my bedroom, my lounge, even the towels in my bathroom and how many clothes I had in shades of green!
I love forests. I love spring. I love when the ocean is emerald green. I find washed out greens so soothing and it makes me feel peaceful. <3 (*-*)
Regards
caron.chester@gmail.com
