Once upon a time, there was a necklace…
In addition to some of the other elements I’ve mentioned with regard to my current line of jewelry, a very important aspect of it will be color stories. There will be at least 5 different styles in the line, and probably as many color combinations: blues, reds, greens, etc.
The pieces below represent one style in the collection as well as the blue color story. I have always planned to incorporate strung beads on colored cord into at least part of the collection, as shown here:
The gemstones used are red aventurine (represents peace), Swiss blue topaz, turquoise, capped off with a facetted smokey topaz pendant as the focal point.
I am generally not a matchy-matchy person when I wear jewelry, but it can be a useful way to create it. Though all of these pieces can be worn as a set, it is not my intent. 
By the way, I’m totally loving these earrings.
Thanks! yes, it’s turquoise, and the orange beads are red aventurine.
wow those earrings are great.. are they semi precious turquaz or..??
The cord is called “stringth” and it’s made of nylon. It’s my preferred stringing material because of the way it handles.
How funny that the earring style (at the bottom) is so similar to the ones I made yesterdaay.
I’m big into the “color story”. I really like it a lot. I also like the color combinations you used. What’s the string? Cotton? Silk? I like the mixture of string with silver.
Nice branching out! This line feels very organic to me.
