By using colors consciously you can create beaded jewelry that can be compared for its beauty and costliness with jewelry made of the most precious stones and gold. There are certain colors that have a precious quality about them. Two colors that are most suitable for creating composed and beautiful beaded jewelry are green and violet.

Green and violet combined together represent absolute calmness and inner contemplation. Green denotes hope, violet consolation. Both colors are modest in their expression and represent inner qualities of caring and spiritual searching. Although very reserved, these colors nevertheless are very powerful in their symbolism. Whereas green is the ultimate color of nature and represents mother earth, violet relates to the transcendental.

Because of the tremendous variety of shades of both green and violet, it is possible to create many different arrangements for beading patterns. A light lavender will look delicate and serene set with softer shades of green. A darker violet shade matched with a lighter sage green will have a reflective, peaceful quality. The lovely delicate pink shades of the violet-purple family are enhanced when combined with a dark jade green. Match a lime green with a deep violet for a strong contrast and dynamic expression. Once you concentrate on these two colors and their diversified shades you will soon find yourself creating great combinations for your beading patterns.

A beaded necklace in these colors will look great when you you are wearing green, violet or purple clothes. Beading your own jewelry, with the diversity of beading patterns and colors, allows you to create the exact mood and look you wish to achieve. It is one of the most satisfying crafts. Without doubt, it is an easy craft to learn and such a creative and inexpensive way of adding a touch of luxury to whatever you are wearing.
