Starry Night Sky 20140510

This is the start of my Starry Night Sky bracelet - after much searching I managed to collect the Zodiac Stars to represent my family members and have used artisan custom glass to reflect the colours of the night sky around a central 'moon rock' bead. On the bangle I am starting to collect the Chinese Zodiacs for my family.

When I have more night sky silvers I will move the rest of the artisan glass from the bangle to the chain.

Does anyone have any suggestions for more silvers I could use to complement the Zodiac Stars?
Any suggestions welcome!

Love all your retired stars, great idea. There is the silver bead with stars on, can't remember the name. I like Endless for space theme and maybe Snow, as it has little stars on Smile

Hi Cloverbead - thanks for replying. I saw a bead called Sparkling Star on line but haven't seen it in real life. If anyone has a pic it would be great to see it's size!

This is really pretty!

Sparkling Stars is a good one, I also like big and small Planet, of course the two-tone Space bead, and even Silver Whorl (it reminds me of a mass of matter and gas swirling around before it forms a planet) Smile

Stacecase - I'll check out silver whorl as am not familiar with that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh Beady-Eyed that is definitely on my wish list but out of my price range (unless of course I stop buying lots of smaller beads, hmmm) and would look lovely on this!

D4e has this bead at a discount right now. Smile  Do you have to pay VAT? If not, it's even cheaper  Laughing

Thank you everyone for showing your bracelets! It such a help as I have no local dealer except a dept store who do't have much of anything and I have to buy on-line all the time. It's such a difference seeing 'real' bracelets.

Beautiful combo, Melmelmel  I love you Maybe Starfish would be a nice twist to it Smile

Beady, your combos are both beautiful, too - I especially love the pink one Smile

Mel, you are off to a wonderful start with the starry night sky bracelet. Love the colors. Someone mentioned Sun Circle. Since you have not seen it irl, the design would be a variation of the "bead line" on the small planet and also the round silver "bead" on the pointed ends of each of the zodiac stars.
Beady, I love that you used "Spot" for the black holes. So much fun.
