Excellent Color Combo for your New Spring Jewelry
A Lesson in Color Theory…
In my shop days this bracelet was an instant copycat bracelet. What's not to like..bright colors to celebrate the arrival of a new season. Plus, what I discovered through my time helping customers with color choices was this combo always… always… finished at the top the class.
Some Color Theory
When considering color, most of us have been exposed to basic terms like primary, secondary, complimentary, monochromatic, and probably references to warm and cool colors.
The above bracelet color scheme is based on the use of analogous and monochromatic color.
Analogous colors are simply 3 neighbors on the color wheel. Using 3 neighboring colors on the color wheel makes it easy to create a pleasing color combo because of similar undertones. In this case blue-green, green, and green-yellow.
Monochromatic describes 1 color in various values and intensities. Think about variations of lightness and saturation. Using monochromatic colors is very clean and easy on the eye. One of my favorite schemes, that never fails me.
Using this silver chain as the base helps create a simple, clean, and fresh design just perfect for Spring.

Create Unique Jewelry with Czechglass Beads
Popular 2 stranded czechglass beads offer so many creative possibilities. When these strands arrived one of our instructors made a bracelet very similar to this one featured, and displayed it in the showcase. One customer after another scooped these up designing many versions of this bracelet. They later brought their creations in to show off many color and bead combos. The glass bars are 1/2 inch long and crystals used here are 4mm. We paired these beads with a magnetized two strand tube clasp. However, single ring clasps and toggles work just as well. Just make sure the clasp is large enough balancing the look and size of the beads. Click here to view these 2 stranded beads in jet.
