Ambers go with...?

@Fuzzyfeet I like the top one with mid blues and cream.

All you lovely pics are a great inspiration

Ambers are very versatile, so just give it a try.
One of my fav. bracelet has dark amber s combined with pale light blue glass and abstract silvers.

There are so many beautiful combinations! Thanks so much, everyone... I will need to get to work now that you've given me so many ideas. Fuzztfeet, I love the last one with the greens, and ceruleanbluebird, your Christmassy one is gorgeous too. I started off with not enough ideas, and now I might have too many!!

Oh that won't last long -- once you have one amber, you will need more!

So after all those amazingly inspirational pictures, I realised where I was going wrong when trying to put together amber bracelets. Because the ambers were so stunning, I was trying to get lots on every bracelet, and although they were beautiful to look at, they looked very ordinary on my wrist. Your pictures, ladies, made me realise I needed to add some colour! So what if I didn't get all my ambers on one bracelet? I'd just make LOTS of bracelets!!
Here are two I'm feeling pretty happy with, and thank you all again for so generously sharing your ideas and photos...

Ooo lovely rich colours !

Nothing wrong with an all Amber bracelet though !

Nothing at all, Fuzzyfeet. Yours is drop-dead gorgeous. They just don't look any good against my skin, unfortunately. I'm all pale and wishy-washy, so I need a hit of colour!!

Gorgeous! Especially that one that the lions are licking

Ambers have the color of the sun and therefore go with any color

I like that thought reltan

WOW WOW WOW this is what you got out of your beads as inspiration from our showing ours?

In this case we do need to share some more

You have breathtaking bracelets now - simply stunning!

Only thing missing is a couple of photos showing your newly made bracelets on your wrists!!!

Oh my lord Linda, simply amazing

You have lots of amazing ambers, too lovely to hide away, and they look stunning with the glass beads you have chosen.
Keep those pictures coming

[quote="Michelle"]Here is 2 I did today only using one color amber and one color glass.


This such a lovely combo. I will have to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.

And thank you Lindakm for asking this question. I tend to keep my ambers together, too, but I will try mixing them with other colors.

I get a lot of compliments with this combo:

I can see why you do. It is small & beutiful

WOW! I think I almost fainted looking at the combos in this thread. Lindakm - your use of the ambers with your stunning gold beads and pops of color is absolutely breathtaking.

I only have 2 ambers and try to use them with most colors. This is yesterday's bracelet]

Khpt...Love the oranges, especially the stripe bead. Great combo.
