I'm not really fond of salmon hues mainly because this color looks ghastly on me. However if you are lucky like Erica and can wear this color, then I envy you.She chose to go the neutral route with clear crystal and black beads because the salmon colored beads already gave a certain warmth to the necklace. What I really liked were her use of smaller gold tone beads to give the design a richer look. One other option was to team the salmon colored beads with say green aventurine gemstones.

I agree..not too fond of salmon colors. But this design is beautiful. Another option would be to mix with maybe wood beads...that would definately give a warmth and natural vibe to the design.

Erica did a fabulous job with this "difficult" color. I like your suggestion for wood. It would indeed give it a natural tone.
ReplyDeleteErica did a wonderful job...she has an eye for detail...
ReplyDeleteI actually don't mind the salmon shade...and with black, clear and gold toned beads it is set off nicely!
Cheers
I love Salmon & think you can mix it with any colour of beads. I love the combination of this necklace.
ReplyDeleteI made a similar one but it was grey incorporated with silver & a multi coloured pattern beads.
Thanks for sharing this.
