Black Spinel Creations (and Other Gems)

Me too, esp if you can see the eggplant and greens. The eggplant colors look really good with Amethyst. I used some lighter "gray" colors with london blue topaz for a project and I really liked how it turned out. I don't take pics of pieces made for others, but I should have taken a picture of the gems laid out together to document the color ideas LOL...maybe going forward.

I did a piece for myself using some incredible blue color aquamarines (along with blue Tahitians and white topaz)...I love the combo of gemstones and Tahitian pearls. IMG_3188.jpg

That's stunning, JerseyPearl ... possibly my favorite of your pieces yet!

Ohhhh JP that's beautiful <3 I love your pearl and gemstone combos!

[JerseyPearl]

Thank you Cathy and battah! Sometimes you make something that you just have to keep.

Very pretty JP! Did you make a matching bracelet?

I really like the color play here. Aquamarine is a hit or miss when it comes to beads but these are nice true Aqua colors and they really work well with the pearls

Thanks! I appreciate your comments BPDDC! I spent quite some time sourcing the aquas...they weren't easy to find (nor were they inexpensive). It hard to tell from this photo, but the beads are also crystal clear...they appear kind of milky on camera because the flocked bust.

Thanks Amti, no matching bracelet...I usually wear jade or other gemstones on my wrist. I usually prefer a cuff or a bangle.
