A bit of everything...

In the last few month of designing my jewelry I have found that mixing-it-up a little results in a stunning piece of jewelry that is more versatile than a simple design with no real goal.  You could probably wear a chain with a pendant everyday, but having one necklace with lots of details can actually dress you up more, enhance your outfit, and adorn better than a simple chain.  It can also look different with different colored clothes, so it's like having more than one necklace.

For example take "Mermaids Enchanting Dream Necklace":

Made with pearls and copper beads, this combination produces a very sophisticated and elegant look.  Pair it with a light or dark pink, brown, or white blouse, or jeans and it could be worn to the office.  Pair with anything black and the style is more for a party.

With the "Go Fish" necklace, a mixture of beads in the same tone can also result is a great necklace.  This piece, in blue and white, has the element of surprise, which is fun and sassy.  Blue jeans, black jeans and the everyday t-shirts are great with this necklace.

Another necklace with blue and white, I've mixed with silver toned beads to add flair to the combination.  Silver always goes with everything, as well as gold tones.   http://www.etsy.com/listing/76855863/blue-and-white-surprise-necklace-ceramic

Although not a very popular color, this "Royal Jasmine Necklace" has beautiful purple dyed jade nuggets that are accented by the dark color of the diamond hematite, and are complemented by the amethyst Swarovski crystal.  A necklace that can go from work to party in less than 60 seconds-just add more lipstick.

Hard to beat are "earth" tones...for example this "Chocolate Swirl Necklace" can go anywhere with you...
A working moms day...the supermarket, the park, the birthday party, meeting with a client, dinner and a movie.  All with the same necklace.

Ok, one more and very important are the chain combinations.  A tad of color, lots of textures = very appealing and adaptable jewelry.
Take the "Tropical Rainforest Necklace"

or

"Moroccan Nights"

or

"Coming Home"
http://www.etsy.com/listing/76645410/coming-home-necklace-large-brass-oval

and finally

The "Aqua Necklace"
http://www.etsy.com/listing/76970275/aqua-necklace-aqua-painted-aluminum

All with a mixture of texture and a some color for a more adaptable style.

So, the next time you purchase a necklace, think about how much use you will actually get out of it....including will it go with a nice blouse, t-shirts, jeans, a favorite outfit, work, a party, summer, spring, fall, or winter.

Enjoy!
