Mary S - Sweet Chick says:LOVE this color combination.
The stones I like. But like you, I have no idea what to do with very large stones, donuts and the carved ones. Just not my style.

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks! Yeah, I just started using donuts because they’re so popular, but I’d have no idea of what to do with the larger beads or carved ones!

M mccallister mrs chick says:i have found that the larger beads tend to sell better when placed on the side of the necklace rather than having them act as the pendant.

KPJEWELS says:I use them in my assymetrical designs a lot. Don’t care for dark colours much but this is nice.

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks! I should try that!!!

D D Mystic Chick says:the colors combine nicely… I too shy away from the big beads… I appreciate the look but probably wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing them.

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:Thanks! Yeah, I stick with smaller beads, but other people like bigger ones so…

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:If you string 1 or 3 larger beads in line with smaller ones, they make great focals.
