Jewelry Making question

[cornerofmadness]

So here is the amethyst necklace centerpiece I bought (In case you didn't want to wander over to Jana's to see it)



Thoughts for colors of beads/gemstones to go with it. Styles? I'm figuring this will be single stranded. Maybe.

I like to pair amethyst with either Rose Quartz or go towards the blue side with aquamarine or blue topaz, and then throw in some nice cultured pearls in some complementary tone. Alternatively, that amethyst is such a nice deep color, you could go for Fall tones with some Amber, some garnets, and maybe some lapis, and some copper colored cultured pearls (I was just looking at some of those I have last night.) It's a gorgeous pendant- I'm sure it will look great with whatever you make.

I was definitely thinking blue myself (I might even have blue gemstones here.) ooo the fall colors would be nice too and copper. you're right there. thanks

How pretty! :D

If that was mine, I'd hang it off a length of black velvet cord. It looks big enough to carry the piece by itself. If not, then a mix of purple & silver beads.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks.

Hmmm that could do as well. Oh it is rather large

I'd go with silvers and pearls, especially the dyed pearls, like the smokey grey strand I have. Maybe add some bright green in there for contrast.

Then, there you go. :D

I think it would be nice with citrine and some clear quartz or moonstone

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I do love moonstone

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I was also thinking of black chain as well. thanks

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That could be fun.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That could be very fun, then.

I might suggest green violet and silver beads.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I was looking at flourite which is pretty much all three of those at once

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

If i can pull it off. What I see in my head and what my hands can make do not always equal one another

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I know that feeling, all too well.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah. sucks

[astridv.livejournal.com]

That is gorgeous, wow, I love it!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you. I do too. I just hope it holds in the wires

[ishte.livejournal.com]

fluorite would be lovely.  Maybe a few pearls then.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[ishte.livejournal.com]
