Ambers go with...?

I have a little problem. I've got lots of gorgeous ambers, and love them, but they seem to stay on the rods in the beadbox. The problem is, although I love them, they are not 'my colours', in that they don't really suit my skin tone. So I'm wanting some ideas on how to combine ambers with other colour glass beads. Pics would be much appreciated!

My bracelet looks like this:

Beautiful, Bluesybeads!

I am just making a amber and turquoise bracelet I am hoped they are good together.

Amber and turquoise sounds great, Michelle! I'd love to see it when you're done...

These are two older pics of bracelets I`ve made with amber and glass. :

Oh wow, Alexis!! I never would have thought of purple, but it looks fabulous!! I love the teal green too... I must say, your spiro beads are amazing...

I've pretty much got the whole spectrum of ambers, Michelle, but I prefer the ones with lots of debris in them. It's late here now, but I'll take a photo of my favourites to post tomorrow...

I've just got one bead....

Wow great designs Alexis. They look wonderful with the jewel tone beads.

All are great looking bracelets. I do love the ambers mixed with the glass beads.

I have made lots of autumn combos with ambers, turquoise, purple, grey and amber glass They go with most colours I think

Have just found amber goes well with pink too

Here is 2 I did today only using one color amber and one color glass.

I love seeing all the combos with ambers...I tried to use them myself but I couldn't make them work sadly

Beautiful examples of mixing ambers with other beads

Here is another of mine:

Hmmm... I'm really drawn to the amber/purple, but your pale blue and amber looks amazing too, beadgirl... Very inspiring!

Your beads are STUNNING, Bluesybeads! Amazing silvers too...

Great amber combos and inspiration! I love ambers but they are not my usual colors either. The clear gold ones do liven up black based glass beads, like the Australia barrier reef and the Zurich film beads, as well as dark reds and browns. I've used the dark earthy/pale milky ones with opaque glass beads like chai bud, fireflies, trollstones and the pink Kimono bead for contrast. It is amazing how once you start playing around with them, there are many rich possibilities.

Just one or two ambers in each of these but there's room for more.

All these pictures are great. I put them with purple as someone else has shown and also with cobalt blues. I have a bracelet on today that is purple, lime green, red and medium brown ambers -- I like it for a fall bracelet. I need to get better about putting pictures on. Also use them with my picasso jaspers, I use ambers a LOT.

Here's an old design of mine with more neutral beads and some Picasso Jaspers:

Here's a Christmas-y one :

Love all these pictures, here are a couple of mine.
