Last year when I worked on my Mermaids Garden Necklace I selected an unusual color combination of copper and aquamarine to pale blue - to express an ocean theme, and I haven't expected that many people would like that palette. From time to time I play with different colors - I love it!
Looking back at the Mermaid's Garden, I wanted to try colors like those, but of other shades. I got from AuntiesBeads.com Bronze Swarovski crystal pearls, Caribbean Blue Opal Swarovski crystal bicones, and Metallic Indigo Iris Miyuki seed beads, this combination seemed to be very interesting for me!
I was eager to challenge and when I received my order, I immediately started beading. Oh, no, I wanted just to try my idea! Look at the picture, here is my new necklace. I don't know how you like it, but yesterday at the Art Activation in the Torpedo Factory Art Center (Alexandria, VA), where I demonstrated beading to public, my necklace attracted a lot of attention. I guess, partly because of colors. Now I'm thinking how to name the necklace... Any suggestions?

Let me see now. A River Runneth Through. By the way, I love the color combinations.
Love the color combination. Necklace seems to be simple, but very pretty!
This is amazing! I love the color combination!
Великолепное цветовое сочетание, прекрасное колье! С названием сложно, конечно. Не хотелось бы отталкиваться только от цвета, так как цепочку можно делать в разных сочетаниях. Опять же-таки какой-то ярко выраженной идеи нет. В таких случаях я даю своим вещам имя. Как у человека. У этой девочки должно быть яркое, звонкое звучное имя, такое, как это колье.
About the name: it reminds me of the ocean. What about 'Mermaid' or 'Treasure of the Sea'???
Beautiful, beautiful colours! They are very reminiscent of moorish architecture to me...
Gorgeous combination... one of my favourite to use is bronze and turquoise and this necklace is beautiful!!! as for the name... hmmm I'm so bad at naming things, sorry :-)
Oh wow, I love this necklace, no wonder it got so much attention!! Wonderful!
I love the color combination, you have done great work, i love to wear jewelry and i have a lot of collection for that but i never seen this type of color combination any where before, i am sure you will get a high rang of customers for that.
Great color combination, i love blue color, its simple but looks pretty cool.
I have no idea what you should name it but I think it is fabulous...the colors are so great. I love when you put something together that maybe shouldn't work together and they do. Yours do, beautifully!
Lovely color combination, Zoya!
I see something ancient-mediterranean in it.
Nice selection of unusual color combination of copper and aquamarine to pale blue, really its express ocean theme. to try something new with different color is a great piece of art.
