I Got My Dream Bead, But How To Wear It?! Pic Heavy!

I finally got my dream bead, the one I never actually thought I would own. Yellow gold alone doesn't suit my skin tone at all, but I adore the two or even three tone look.

So of course it is.. the daisy! Thanks to a very lovely girly.

After my recent gemstone splurge, I am sat here playing around with different combinations.. with daisy as the centre piece. What do you think? Any suggestions or advice?















Sorry about all the pictures, I got a bit carried away this morning!

beautiful pics and the daisy looks like it's loving its new home

That is a GORGEOUS bead!! I like the combinations you put with it, especially the first and second ones.

I like them all, but specially 3 and 4 . The touch of gold really lifts the mainly silver combinations.

The pics are all lovely! But.. what about trying with orange/yellowish/gold coloured glass beads? I've seen pics around with glasses of the mentioned colours in which the daisy was the perfect focal bead!

I agree, even though I know you aren't crazy about the glass beads. Crown Chakra, Honey Dawn and Gold Silver Trace would compliment the gold center of the Daisy without adding "color" to your bracelet in the sense that most glass beads would.

It is the greatest bead ever made. Congratulations!

I just love your mainly silver combos, so different !

Beautiful! I bought one when a site was closing out TB! Enjoy!

I really want this for my birthday but sadly not till November! I think it looks great with any combo but especially like your last one,

Lovely! This bead is on my dream list too! Love the first combo with the amazonite, but they are all gorgeous!

Congrats on your Daisy, I hope you will love it as I do mine!
Your combos are all lovely, I love that you use a lot of silver as I favor the TB silvers too.

Congratulations on your daisy, I'm most for the last combination, but they're all beautiful in their own way.

The daisy is a lovely bead. Looks awesome in your combinations

Congrats on your Daisy Love 5th combo!!

they are all fantastic..
i like your way to combine...a lot of silver and just a few stones..
GREAT!

I love the daisy. I hope to get it within the next two weeks. All your combinations are lovely.

Very pretty.

Congratulations. It´s a very nice daisy.

Daisy is a wonderful bead and great as a centerpiece. I like them all, especially the last one.

Wow so many replies, thank you so much everyone! I had a manic couple of days and didn't have time to catch up on here ...


Thank you Lizzie, it is definitely enjoying its new home.. and I am loving having it too!

Thank you TwinMom & Cottinghamgirl - It's really interesting to see the combinations different people are drawn to the most!

Simona & Jan - I do like the glass beads, I have just never worn them myself! Now I am used to having stones on my bracelet I am sure glass would be okay. However yellow and orange are not great colours on my very pale skin, I will have a look for the daisy pictures you are talking about though and see! I have no problem adding colour I will look up the chakra, honey dawn and gold silver trace Jan!

Monique I agree thank you!

Fuzzyfeet - They are getting less and less silver as the days go on... I am doing my best hehe

Thank you Sware and Klokke

Bluecow I hope you get one for your birthday, I am sure you will love it as much as I do! I have worn the last combination for the past 2 days, had lots of compliments!

AquaAura the amazonite loves to sit next to the daisy! I hope you get one too someday!

Trollsister - I don't think I could love it more, it is beautiful! Do you have a lot of photographs of your bracelets on here? I would love to see someone elses designs using lots of silver.. I feel like the odd one here

Thank you troll2011 & Hisae

Clochard - It seems an unusual way, but it works for me thank you

Misssodakgal - I hope yours arrives soon, and that you love it as much as I do!

Thank you mdellanno, Trollfee & Silmaril!

Magpie Katie, I agree, I love the silvers with a few stones... really is a nice way of doing it. Love all your designs! Maybe try a shimmery pale amber next... you might be very surprised at the result!

trollbelle what colour amber would you suggest? I have been looking at them, and there are just so many to choose from !

Even though it was the silvers that first attracted me to TBs, I've usually gone for an even mix of glass and silver, then I got smitten with the Macrow stones (and glass) and now because of this forum and this thread (thanks Magpie Kate) I've recently been wearing mostly silver with just a few glass or stone beads. I'm getting 'round to an all silver bracelet I think!

Magpie, hmmm, maybe a baby yellow or an orangish one... with a few facets on it to shimmer along with your beautiful daisy's center... and translucent, with possibly a little glitter thrown in!?? The baby yellow could go with your lighter stone colors, or the orangish one could go with your deeper blue stone or the purples!

I only have 3 ambers myself, but I always seem to have one on my bracelet, because they do seem to go with everything once you start using them and they have sooo much character... Mine are translucent ones, but hope eventually to get some opaque chunkier ones next!
