Beading Blog - thebroadroom.net: Carnelian necklace with bronze pearls
Carnelian necklace with bronze pearls

While I'm at it (rediscovered an old digicam, but this one works better than the one I was using!), here is the same carnelian necklace here:

...but with the center links changed to bronze freshwater pearls:

Thus The Three Piece Rule is proven yet again. There it's a reference to composing an outfit, but I've found it can also apply to jewelry design. i.e., so often, three discrete elements make a better piece.
The first time around, I considered the gold fill (since there is a lot of wire in this piece) to be one of the three elements, yet it is not the same as having three kinds of beads--two sizes of carnelian beads and then the pearls.
