Another combination with my blooming sakura's - update 4 March

I really love the japanese beads but somehow I just cannot combine them... I tried the pink prisms, the purple prisms and the kimono beads... I now have combined them with blue agate beads and pearls. I´m not sure if I like it. Maybe it's a bit boring?




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I needed the white pearls for an other combination so I used the amber beads instead. What do you think?

I don't find it boring but I can see what you mean. There is not much "movement" because the stones are all the same tone.

I love the pearls and would keep those in. A couple of agates aswell but I would add maybe milky quartz, rose quartz, and some more pink glass. Don't know what you have in pinks and whites?

As I love one color combos it´s far from boring
This is the perfect bracelet to wear with jeans and a multi colored shirt.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have a lot of pink and white beads, almost all that are in the collection right now. The 'problem' with most of the pink beads is that the combination gets very sweet and I don't really like that. The rose quartz might be a good one and the milky quarts too.

That is true, with more pink it does get sweet, don't like to sweet myself either. The quartses are not as pink so those might work, just to pick up a bit of the purple/pink in the sakura's. You are soooo lucky to have three .

I like your agates. I think they are under-appreciated! You could swap a few out and retry a prism or something else.

I agree with this, but I would also lose the silvers or minimize them and see what that looked like.
I think this b'let could stand on it's own without silver.

You have created a very soothing combination. I like that all the blues match.

I like the silvers in there. And I like the bracelet the way it is. But if you want a little more contrast in there, try some Black Silks or dark Amethysts.

OH YES... BLACK SILK!!!
Now why didn't I THINK OF THAT?? LoL
Would really be a wonderful addtion. a WOW b'let.

WOW!!! that is absolutely beautiful!! Those stunning agates match sakura perfectly.

Tone in tone is never boring if you ask me .

same here! I really like this bracelet!

No I think you did a good job, just add a touch of pink if you want more drama.

Update!

What do you think? Better than with the pearls?

I love the yellow (amber? alabaster?) and blue, very warm, sunny just gorgeous!!
