Summer Greens w/help of trollfriends!
Hi all! Here's a summer combo I'm working on. It was inspired by the "sweet christmas" bead when I saw it w/new eyes on the (very slender) arm of a former ld at Zazus. She had it all stacked up with Alex and Ani bangles. Not sure what all was on her combo, know there was a triple white pearl, seems like it was mostly beige stones and NOT a lot of green; it had a neutral look. Haven't quite captured it here. It looked so slim and easy on her arm (where mine tend to look hunk-a-chunky, not that there's anything wrong with that ).
Many thanks to mdellanno for help finding the sweet christmas glass at a great price! And HUGHE HUGs and thanks to my best troll friend for gifting me a spring surprise of the cute jewel fairy basslet. Love him to bits b/c the happy fish is not lonely and especially because he turns around, swimming up and down.
Tried the bracelet in different variations, starting w/more green and silver...and it wanted to venture around the yard a bit...the first one seems prettier but the last one w/less green seems most wearable for me... Still wish it had a more stone-y look. What do you think? Thanks for looking!

I think it looks very fresh and clean with all the pale creams. I love the last version myself.

Beautiful and refreshing. That Christmas bead really pulls it altogether very nicely. I have always liked that bead but never got one. My eye is drawn toward the first combo the most but all are beautiful.

I think it's perfectly summery! I also find the first one drew me in the most, but all are really lovely.

These beads look like they were made to be worn together.

I love green so my preference would be for the first one. However, I think the second one would probably be more useful. Love your Canadian jade....such a rich color.

I love this color combination and you've selected wonderful beads to compliment each other. It is so versatile and fresh!! I agree that the first one is most eye-catching to me, but they are all lovely.
