Trendy costume jewellery made of clay

One of the designs is a choker set with hanging beads and strands of vermilion of red and white strings. The matching earrings are semicircles with red beads hanging from them. The cobalt blue and vermilion set have circles for the pendant and earrings with blue and red beads attached to them. Star and floral shapes in deep blue, gold and ruby red are found in another set.

Attached to a string of blue, red and white, is a pendant of multicoloured beads hanging from a triangular disc. This is set off with suitably matching earrings. Raw green and earthy red along with yellow go for the decoration in another set. Discs with floral motifs of white and blue on a background of navy blue are found in another set and this could well be worn on a formal occasion. The square-shaped pendant with white motifs and hanging red and yellow beads is also fairly attractive.

The royal blue beads along with red and yellow ones, hanging from black strings are also subtle. The pendant shaped like a Red Indian feathered head-dress is eye-catching. The green and red colours in them are touched with deft strokes of white. A diamond shaped vermilion pendant is matched with yellow and red circular beads. Also attractive is the set with multi-coloured flowers with four petals each.
