Pearl and Peridot Beaded Strawberry Lime
Necklace

The pearl and peridot beaded 'strawberry lime' necklace from Novica is a striking piece of jewelry.

One of the most fascinating aspects of gemstones is that they naturally occur in a wide range of colors. From the palest of pink rose quartz through to deep black onyx, this wide range of colors gives jewelry designers a rich natural palette to work with. Jewelry designers can create wonderful items of jewelry by combining colors together in new and innovative ways with stunning results.

An example of how the rich colors of nature can work together is the pearl and peridot beaded Strawberry Lime necklace, designed by Ritu Aggarwal who lives in Jaipur. The necklace is available from the Novica website. This combines the vibrant green of peridot with the delicate pink of pearls, creating a result that conjures up the image of 'strawberry lime'. More information can be found on the Novica website.

Novica is an innovative website that allows artisans from countries such as India, Mexico, West Africa and Thailand to sell their handmade items directly to customers. The artisans are able to set their own prices and control their own stock levels via the Novica website. The Novica ethos is one of fair trade and as such they maintain fair trade standards with their artisans. Artists, for instance, are not charged a listing fee for making items available for sale. The Novica website is associated with the National Geographic organization.

Uniquely, customers can find out more about each individual artist's story on the Novica website. This gives an interesting insight into the skills used to make the item and a little local history. This presents a wonderful way to get a better understanding of another culture as well as a deeper appreciation of how handcrafted items are made.

If the pearl and peridot beaded Strawberry Lime necklace from Novica is not for you, yet you like the color combination, why not recreate the look using readily available items of jewelry. The strawberry lime look combines stunning greens along with rich pinks. Here are some ideas for how this can be recreated:

• Green and pink beads – plastic and acrylic beads are cheap to buy and are available in a variety of colors. A strand of green beads combined with a strand of pink beads will produce a striking necklace. Pastel shades will create a more subtle effect.
• Gemstones – as well as the peridot and pearl combination, other gemstones can be combined to give a strawberry lime effect. This includes green jade and coral for a deeper version and peridot and rose quartz for an interesting variation.
• Dyed pearls – natural pearls can be dyed in a variety of colors. The dying process allows the pearl to take on a deeper color while not reducing the natural luster of the pearl. Green and pink dyed pearls together can look very striking and are a great way to achieve the strawberry lime look.

Make a statement with colored beaded necklaces.

The use of color is an important part of creating a great look. Combining different colors together can create unusual and striking results. Interesting color combinations include:

• Turquoise and orange – this looks very striking. Natural turquoise and orange coral beads look stunning together.
• Black and white – this is one of the most bold color combinations. Mother of pearl and black onyx make a very eye catching combination.
• Blue and red – the combination of blue and red is very eye catching. Blue gemstones such as sodalite combined with red jasper can look fantastic.

Exploring color and creating unique color combinations is part of jewelry designing. Teaming different colored items of jewelry together, however, to create a unique look is within everyone's grasp and is a great way to make a statement with your accessories.
