The gemstones are different colors (aqua blue and pale pink) and different composition (opaque but porous and clear but hard) but the Castle Dome Turquoise and Dew Point necklaces work well together. The Arizona turquoise from the Castle Dome mine is mottled and lovely, and the rose quartz rectangles are between freshwater pearls in sterling silver links. The necklaces nestle nicely together too. The Castle Dome Turquoise necklace is 18" long and the Dew Point necklace is 20" long with a beautiful rose quartz oval pendant.

Relaxed blues from different necklaces make a pleasing combination.

It would be difficult for the 18" long Family Araucariaceae and the 20" and 21" long Precious necklaces to be more different, yet they are united by a common element -- carbon. Carbon under intense temperature and pressure can lead to diamond, and jet is a type of lignite coal from the decomposition of wood from millions of years ago, commonly the wood of trees of the family Araucariaceae. Family Araucariaceae contains jet rounds with handcrafted lampwork glass teardrops in earthy colors, and the Precious necklaces contain diamond chips with either sterling silver or 14kt gold-fill components.

Family Araucariaceae + Precious necklaces: $124.00 USD Family Araucariaceae, $120.00 USD Precious (silver), $122.00 USD Precious (gold), $290.00 USD for all 3

The end of the alphabet inspires this pairing, much like the Cardinal and Ruby in Fuchsite pairing. The 18" long Rose Red necklace has a classic "U" shape, and the 18" long The Aten necklace has a typical "V" shape of pendant necklaces. The contrasting layering shapes provide interest, and the strong colors and difference in bead size are complementary. The Aten necklace has deep blue lapis lazuli and freshwater pearls strung on handknotted silk cord, and the Rose Red necklace features the bold and unusual red sapphire gemstones.

Jewel bright hues embrace sunshine with this pairing. On its own, the 18" long golden Helios citrine necklace is like a ray of sunshine, and with the 21" long Henceforth necklace, this warm yellow is circled by a slim strand of tourmaline. What makes the pairing work is the similarity of the darker colors from the tourmaline in the Henceforth necklace and the coated hematite in the Helios necklace, so they act like a smiling frame to the gleaming citrine.
