Trendy color combination ideas for this spring !

Hot feathers!

Feathers are everywhere!
They can easily be added to a bead for fun and fashion earrings for example!

Green!

From emerald green to celadon to moss or myrtle, green will be still very trendy this spring!
You can mix different hues of green together. The picture shows czech glass and green quartz flat beads mix with black and grey gemstones for example.

Is the jean bleach back ?

If you were a teen or a young adult during the 80's, you surely wore these almost white, bleach jean....
It seems that the jean bleach is back. We found here at C.j.M gemstone beads that look like "bleach"!
These beads are aquamarine gemstones.
Aquamarine comes in different shades of blue. As you can see in the picture, this pastel aqua blue aquamarine is very similar to a bleach color (according to us of course).
These oval beads are mixed with dark blue and brown freshwater pearls and seated onto a nice transparent lace.
We choose to mix these pearls and beads with shell buttons to emphasize the white, pastel color of the jean bleach!

Tangerine orange, bright yellow

If you want to make a necklace with orange" tangerine", bright yellow, the jewelry craft market offers a big choice of beads in these colors.
From glass, crystal, plastic, resin... you will find different types and sizes of beads according to your style and budget.
If you need some " vitamine C" in your life this necklace made with yellow beads and a touch of blue and orange will be perfect for you.
Yellow and orange colors can be associate with black of course ( black thread , beads or findings) but to celebrate spring ( we wanted to use something light), we chose to use transparent recycled glass drop and flowers.

Nude color

What is nude color ?

It is a color close to the skin, a color like flesh, very light pink, silk off white or beige...
Anyway , it seems to be " very à la mode". Right away we thought about pearls. Freshwater pearls of course but also "faux pearl" which come in colors like ivory, light pink, beige and so on. Once again the jewelry craft market offers a big choice of beads. Just think of the delicate pink delicas for example.
This picture shows earrings made with light pink freshwater pearl mixed with ready made silver -grenat earring posts. Contrasting colors andmaterial between soft and delicate pink and grenat, symbol of strength and passion.

Beautiful Turquoise!

This spring and summer, we will love this magical stone known to protect and absorb all the negative energy inside us.
You can mix this gemstone with black or brown thread, ( toning with the turquoise beads) or play with contrasting colors (blue and pink for example)
