just made this mini combo yesterday w/a few special silvers and a couple old "skool" glass as the base. think i'll keep it like this -- small and simple -- for a while. BUT not sure if the artisan chalcedony is doing it for me; might change it for something else....an orange armadillo looked nice, but that felt more "fall," as did a few others that sort of made it less "cheerful" than i'd like for this time of year. what do you think? maybe a lime green manga should just do a "photo bomb"? please let me know if you have any ideas.  Smile thanks for looking!

I like how they seem to pick up the colours in the lock too Smile

I'd suggest an azure bubbles or something like that in place of the pink one, but that might seem unbalanced. What about just removing the pink to have the three glass?

I really like your mini combo sometimes a few well chosen beads are nicer than a full on bracelet, it does however really make me want a retired snake to keep my new one company I love you

 Agree Don't lose the pink, it really brightens it up and as was mentioned before, really enhances the colors from the other beads. (But I like pink Smile)

i'd thought about azure bubbles too...although i don't own one, lol. seems like a glass that has to be especially selected.

I like it just the way it is too! I also like mini combos! I need to do more of those because I am liking the look of them on a wrist better than the full bracelets these days.

The pink is perfect. I see a touch of burgundy in each of the other beads. So pink fits in as a lighter version of the burgundy imo.
