I got this big green turquoise nugget as a part of a set of coordinating beads. I used the other beads in some other projects, but could never decide to do with this bead. It’s chunky and textured and a great colour, and it took me ages to figure out what to put with it. Turns out, it needed to go with some smoky quartz chips and a great silver toggle clasp.
I quite liked the combination of dark smoky quartz with the pale rose quartz in yesterday’s earrings. I’m not always a fan of wearing pink, so to me the smoky grey-brown of the other beads mellows it out, and makes it feminine but not overly girly. So, of course, I kept right on going. 🙂
Today’s project is a bracelet using the same set of beads. Both quartzes are grouped and spaced with little silver spacers – tiny rounds for the smoky quartz and petite daisy spacers for the rose quartz, same as the ones used in the earrings. I finished it off with a magnetic clasp, an easy option for putting on a bracelet. I love how it turned out, and already have plans for tomorrow’s project to be a matching necklace. Stay tuned!
