Flower of Dawn

I am supposed to be on the wagon until the new collection comes out in August but couldn't resist rehoming a Flower of Dawn, here is my first attempt at a combination with it.

Looks nice with the black galaxies

It looks lovely on your bracelet. Thank you for rehoming it.

Lovely colours and beautiful texture. I have never used my rose pendant on a bracelet, maybe I should, yours looks right at home

That is a very beautiful combo - like a cool evening breeze after a warm day :)The Flower of Dawn is one of my favourite beads

Wowza!! That is stunning!! 

Just wondering...does the Flower of Dawn have a black base?

I think it is a really very dark blue not yet dark but not the blue of day anymore, either.

Yes, it is black, I didn't think I had enough black beads to go with it but the very dark blues seem to work very well. I think I am on a roll at the moment with this combination and my Amethysts and Azure Bubbles which I did yesterday.  I have the two  bracelets together on my desk and they  look  amazing together.

I am wearing one of mine on a bracelet full of deep blue beads and I think it looks much better with blue than with black.  I love the effect you have created here.  I keep almost selling my second Flower of Dawn but then quickly snatching it back.  I think I sneakily want to create a second full set of dark blue beads.  Your bracelet is encouraging me but it is very naughty and I must resist.

Thank you, I am going to try it with some Azure Bubbles and am beginning to think  I might need another one.

Oh really?  Hmmm? Do I or don't I surrender mine to you?

I think you should hang on to it, it is a bead which you need 2 of, you can never have too many dark blue beads.

I have quite a few.

I need Flower of Dawn and the rest of that awesome kit (except Cozy as I got it in the Christmas bead exchange).  I think I may be able to swing selecting beads from the best beads available at the LD from that kit and the Rocky Beach.  I haven't shopped at a trunk show in over a year due to buying almost exclusively from store-closing sales.

ohhh i really love all the texture on this combo from both the silver and the glass! its so romantic and moody!!
