Black pearl dangle - 1st combo

I recently purchased the Black Pearl Dangle from a fellow member and I have been dying to put it into a combo...here's the first attempt, but I think it could use some improvement. Maybe some of the beads are too "busy" and I should use some "calmer" solid color ones? What do you think?

I think this is absolutely STUNNING.
It SCREAMS at me.. Wear Me !!
Is that a violet flower that has purple with yellow flower, I always wanted to know which it was?

Your dangle really compliments this lovely piece of "Art"

This is Fabuloso!!!! I love the beads and the combination too, and the black pearl dangle! If you think it is too busy, wear it for a day and see what you think. I think you've got a great mix of patterns and solids with the pearls and prisms. And they are all dark, great choice of colors. The only thing I would try if it was mine would be to switch one of the black pearls and the dangle, but that's because I think black pearls look great anywhere on the bracelet and I like to see them on every side

I love it!!! I have always loved the original pearl dangles, but I seldom wear them. I may have to dust them off and make something with them soon! Great combo!!!!!!!!

thats a lovely combo, what is the bead next to the violet flower? cant quite make it out. I like the way you teamed the beads with each other.. very very nice.. you have given me inspiration.

So gorgeous! Did you make this for me to wear? :-)

Beautiful in a dark kind of way.

I love this bracelet . It's so rich looking and beautiful.

Beautiful bracelets. I love your great violet flower bead. It is one of my favorite beads.

The Dangle fits so well with your combo

I personally think that there is no need for improvement.... What a great bracelet!

I'm wearing purple and turqoise myself at the moment so don't think this is in the least bit busy - the pearl looks beautiful against the rich colours.

Thanks everyone! I did wear it with a Teal/black/gray outfit yesterday and I really liked it. It's taken apart again, but I have the photo for reference later if I want to re-create it. I got a new dillo in, so want to try a new combo out with that too

It's beautiful stunning combo...I do agree that the pearl gets a tiny bit lost in there just because there is so much to look at!!! which is great!!!
If you want to make the pearl stand out more, neutralize the colours a bit

I love it just the way it is !
