Friday on the Art Bead Scene I shared some possible wedding designs using art beads. I had a customer inquire which color urchin would go well with raspberry keishi pearls, since she had those on hand. Well, that was just too tempting. I had to pull out my stylus and sketch in a few possible choices, here are the results. Yes, color is my BFF.
If the pearls lean more towards a warm raspberry, you could pair them up with an antique gold urchin and mix them with Colorado topaz crystals. (Crystals from TheBeadBoxWebsite, pearls from Ubbbusiness.)
Borrowing a color combo from nature, you could play with complimentary colors and pair pink with a yellow green. Wouldn't vessonite briolettes add just the perfect touch with the both color and their shape. (Briolettes from aaarealgem, pearls from Ystudio.)
And finally, you could go a little bolder and mix together pink and teal for an island feel, more of a fantasy urchin and pearl necklace. Small amazonite rounds would play nicely with the color of my teal urchin. (Amazonite rounds from OllieandJo, pearls from my own collection.)For these designs I would add in 2mm round metal spacers on both sides of the accent beads. I also would go for a random mix of the accent beads rather than a pattern.
