My Green Sea

This necklace is one of my husband's favorites. I'm sure it's more about the color than the design seeing that green is one of his colors of choice. The silver foil in the green glass beads lends an interesting bit of shimmer to the necklace without being too flashy, and the silver beads ties the whole thing together nicely.

The rectangular white beads provide a bit of a change from the typical round bead, and make a nice correlation with the focal bead at the center since it's shape is more rectangular or oval than circular. Even the smaller green beads, with their irregular sides, meld with the rectangular white beads in an interesting way.

My Green Glass

I had these green glass beads with the black swirls on them and thought they were really interesting but wasn't sure what to do with them. I wish I'd had more so I could have put together some earrings to go with the necklace since the bead itself is so unusual, but you work with what you've got!

I thought the bead was so unique, I wanted to make sure it stood out and wasn't lost in a design that was too busy, so I put together a necklace with the beads themselves as the main (really only!) focal point, using black beads in two different sizes to offset them. I think it really helped define them and keep attention on the green.

My Green Fun

This necklace, although not one of my favorites, is still one of my favorite colors! This piece came out of a pre-packaged set of beads. I loved the green, and although I wasn't "inspired" when I put this together, sometimes it's just nice to play and see what happens.
