Tourmilated Quartz.... How are you using it??

I need a bit of inspiration. I have two of these quartz beads and I am finding them incredibly hard to put on a bracelet without them looking out of place. Please post your photos in this thread as to how you are combining them. thanks so much!

I'm in the same boat!

Amanda, mine remind me of dirty ice when put next to other beads.

I like it next to the striped onyx! thanks.

I was also having a hard time, couldn't think of much else besides black and white.
Currently I am using mine with a bit of brown, black, white & gold. I don't have a working camera or I would post a pic. I am using striped onyx, faceted onyx, some pearls: white, black and 2 brownish-black pearls, smoky quartz, gold silver trace and a few diamond beads. I love how its turning out. I was thinking of using some pale pinks with it or instead of the brown like rose quartz.

Gorgeous! Thats funny because that is very similar to what I am doing

You have used them very well.

Cant wait to get mine.

here my combos:

This bracelet is made with a tourmaline quartz made af trolldog (thank you), but the bead are the same style as trollbeads.



And a more recent picture.

These are all very inspiring.... I love trolldog's as much or more than the TB version!

Really? I love mine and am using them on almost every bracelet! Not that i have many beads so far to use them with, i have around 65 beads only, but i think they go with pretty much everything!

Would love to see pics, Engel.

Tina Parker combined them with the blue Kimono beads and Joyful and Drumbeat to wonderful effect:

I have artisan ones similar to troll, and I really like them with the kimono beads as well

They look fabulous with Kimonos. I ended up taking out a couple of beads and adding them to this combo. They will probably stay on this bracelet now.

There are so many gorgeous bracelets here - neonfiller, I think I might copy (if that's ok...?)! That is glorious! Here is mine; I love it, and am wearing it today:

Those combinations look wonderful. Never tried to combine mine with different colours. I wear mine just with peacock pearls, white pearls, onyx and silver.

This bracelet looks amazing indeed! I hope i can manage to get two more quartz beforethey are gone, i really really love mine!

Lovely combos everybody

I have two from Pixie Beads but so far have only worn them solo with Joyful on a necklace. I find them very rustic in appearance and think they would go well with snowflake obsidians, black onyx, and dark labs....but need to experiment! Good luck;)

I put mine (from Pixie beads) with other greys, but I also loved it with my crazy lace agates

Looks amazing with your combo, Rogotroll.

I put my TQ together with the Striped Onyx,Ruby and BullFrog steampunk beads:
