New beader and pearl obssesionista in town... needing your help :-)

Gorgeous necklaces, sometimes designs just happens. I often have an idea in my head and then I do something completely different. It's like the pieces designs them self, just like you said. I have a strand of neon blue apatites and one with ombre pink sapphires that I still haven't done anything else with than put them on wire and adding a clasp. I think they still are like that because of the tiny drillholes, I don't like to work with wire, prefers beaders secret.
 
Oh, Eolian, these are so pretty! Tanzanite is one of my favourite stones. Love the pairing of the green and metallics. . Definitely a good day for necklaces, if not for bracelets :)
 
eolian you have such a lovely collection of pearls! I love everything, especially your blue akoyas... and those Tahitian bracelets are just perfect, the perfect balance of color, shape and clasp :)
 
Thank you ladies! I have been wearing the tanzanite necklace non-stop for the last few days, it is summery and extremely casual on my island so these are the kind of necklaces ( along with the leather+ pearl combination) that I wear the most this time of year.

Charlotta, I know what you mean with the tiny holes on the rondelles...Unfortunately in most cases you can’t use the Beader’s secret with these, I use Beadalon and well... I love to combine gemstone rondellesand pearls... here are some pics of my favorite pieces... C0EA7969-C0E6-4BBE-9AA4-77A508D6BFDC.jpgBFC7E27A-B7E0-4C7F-86DD-F0EFD7FF2ED4.jpg

Neon apatites are so pretty, I have one necklace with a central silver Tahitian in my other home, apatite also goes really well with white colored pearls...probably with goldens as well...for you to find out:-)
 
Oh my gosh! I don’t check this area out often enough! What fun pieces eolian!! Enjoy wearing everything.:D
 
Thank you ladies, these are really fun everyday pieces.
Amti, you will love to play with little gemstones and pearls! So many combinations to try....
My last one for a whíle, a de-stash one with labradorite, garnet and amethyst stones, I am officially out of pearls and gemstones and the post takes at least two months to get here...Luckily there is PG and all your beautiful pearls to keep me happy :-)

Eolian what a great collection have you made already! A true inspiration to use gemstone and pearls together��
 
Thank you Rianne, there are so many combinations to try...

An update on my circled “pastels”from Wen - a new half-strand has arrived and I immediately ordered another one :-) aiming to make a kind of ombre rope that I can double...have added few leftover pearls from other projects and I am really happy how colorful this necklace is turning out... It is just a temp strand so no real knotting was done, just playing around with the positioning of the pearls... DEA9B3F2-DE50-44D4-98FD-56126FDE3E90.jpgCDB506DB-A807-4C0E-BEF8-3D46AE7F113B.jpg
 
The colour combination is terrific, you have done a marvelous job putting them together.
Love the combination of gemstone and pearls.

I found it interesting that you string your micro gemstone necklaces with wire.
All my micro gemstone necklaces have been strung and usually knotted also with beaders secret thread.
I just finished a 2 to 2.5mm micro garnet necklace with beaders secret thread.
 
Eolian, that rope of Tahitian circles looks wonderful! You’ve done a beautiful job arranging them.
