Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:This is a great combination of colors! I am super curious about what you would make w/ it!
On May 20, 2009 at 7:52 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:Several different sets I imagine, probably not combine too many of them.
On May 20, 2009 at 7:53 pm #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:How about something very long you can wrap a few times around?
On May 20, 2009 at 7:55 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:that could work, I do like long necklaces with all sorts of different beads…but since these are kind of pricy stones I would probably want 16 sets of jewelry out of them LOL

ChickyD aka Debra says:Great stones, Susan! I just got a 1/2 strand of the abalone, and it’s absolutely gorgeous!
On May 20, 2009 at 7:57 pm #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:I hear that! Also, sometimes when I have different things to combine, I do say green bead, 10 or 20 green seed beads, yellow bead, 10 or 20 yellow seed beads, ect… just an angle.

movie chick aka susan says:Bubbly and Chicky D…thank you…glad y’all like
On May 20, 2009 at 7:59 pm #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Yes, that’s what I do, too. OR, I’ll use maybe 3 as focal beads.
On May 20, 2009 at 7:59 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:I have added seed beads to several of my sets so that out of one strand of stones, I can make earrings, necklace and a bracelet.
On May 20, 2009 at 8:00 pm #
ChickyD aka Debra says:I especially love mixing just a few stones with pearls and crystals. Anything to stretch those EXPENSIVE stones a little further…

movie chick aka susan says:Defintely…good luck with the driving!
On May 20, 2009 at 8:12 pm #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Oh, and if there is only a few pearls, I use the super tiny delicas seed beads to separate them from the other beads instead of the traditional knotting.
On May 20, 2009 at 8:17 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:Never done any traditional knotting…it looks complicated to me…trying to get the spacing correct.
On May 20, 2009 at 9:14 pm #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:if the pearls are not knotted or spaced correctly, they will scratch each other
On May 20, 2009 at 9:42 pm #
movie chick aka susan says:that makes sense…do you have much luck with it?

KPJEWELS says:You’re not the only one who would like to have these beads. When I place an order I usually try to get one bead that I really, really want and then go with those I need, even if my order is small. I’m glad I’ve been able to be on the site as much as I have today because everyone seems to have some inspirational advice. Keep it coming chickies. BTW like this combination.
