Im trying to make a bracelet composed of milky quartz( 3) and chalcedonys ( 3) and im trying to figure out what other glass beads would look good with this combo. Im so stuck...I was kinda thinking maybe ill get like 3 or 4 of trolldogs facteted goldstones...but not sure. Does anyone have any ideas? Or does anyone have any pics of their bracelets that have chalcedonys and milkys together for some inspiration? Thanks!

Hiya, lucky you to have those fab beads...They would go with anything!!! Personally I would go with a bold colour with them...I would use them here:

But you could also use them on a pastel themes one pinks and lilacs with flower beads to make a feminine bracelet.

Can't wait to see what you come up with x

well this one will be my "baby bracelet". I just found im preggo...YAY!! and I have a bunch of "babyish" silvers like the carriage, baby, angels feathers, cherub, etc. So im thinking i may keep this one neutralish. Then when i find out what im having, I can throw on a baby girl or baby boy. But im so tempted by the blue goldstones still....whats a girl to do!!

wow congrats! That sounds awesome...I have a bracelet dedicated to my girls - I must post a pic sometime, I wore it today actually :-)

Get the goldstones, they will work with either colour anyway

Balance the dark blue goldstones with some strong pink crazy lace agates.

As I wouldn't have the chance to buy the goldstones, I would use my Moon Oceans and Silver Mountains and make this bracelet a monochromatic study.

I think the Goldstones would be too dark but Labs or Dmoky Yopaz would work well as would other soft grey beads like Blue Desert, Grey Prism or Silver Mountain. Beach would also be nice on there and if you wanted to Pink it up a pale Pink Desert,RTose Quartz or the new Flower beads, especially Hrandma's favourite would look very pretty. Dichroic Ice and White beads such as Crystal Mountain, White Bubbles, White Stripe or White Steel. I also think Dichroic Glass and silver beads such as Kong and Queen, Trinity or Triple Flowers would be amazing with Chalcedony and Milky Quartz.
