Aqua Color Palette

There is something about aqua that makes my heart sing! It can feel wonderfully vintage or fresh and modern.

In the top switch plate, I paired a simple translucent aqua inlay with a faux black mother-of-pearl background. My grandmother had the most amazing jewelry box made from black mother-of-pearl. I thought of it immediately when I sliced into the mokume gane clay sheet and revealed the scalloped design.

The bottom plate is a more modern geometric take where I added a few orange and blue inlay pieces in an asymmetrical pattern.

  1. These switch plates are SO elegant and lovely! The aqua is a beautiful color and brings to mind spring skies and the water of Australian lagoons. The faux mother of pearl work REALLY well and I love that it brought your grandmother's mother of pearl jewelry box to mind. These are little miniature works of Art.
