Pleasantly Pink

 When I bought these pretty, floral copper dangles, I knew I wanted to pair them with something pink, because I think that is such a natural color combination. However, I have a love/hate relationship with pink. I'm not fond of baby girl pink and hot pink is not much better.  I do like mauve and I like bright pink with green (think peonies with their green leaves).
Digging around in my drawer of pink beads, I found these pink leopard skin jasper beads. Perfect! I framed them with antiqued copper bead caps, some strawberry quartz and some copper colored glass spacers. I was pleasantly pleased with the outcome.
I will be adding the Pleasantly Pink Earrings to my shop later this afternoon.

  2. These are really pretty Linda! I absolutely love anything with TierraCast too. I didn't think pink would go with copper- but you pulled it off! Lovely! :-)

    1. Thanks Cindy. I'm curious why you thought pink wouldn't go well with copper? Copper has a pinkish cast to it, so I always thought pink was a natural match. But that's one reason I enjoy looking at other's jewelry - for color combos I might not have thought of myself.

    2. Maybe too much competing color? I don't know, but you've def changed my mind. :-*
