Add a touch of nature to your beaded jewelry. Green symbolizes the richness of life. It is often used in advertising to express healthy vitality. This color is a mixture of yellow, which symbolizes expansion, and of blue, which symbolizes introversion. Thus in green, we have a combination of two opposing forces. These join together, neutralizing the outward movement of yellow and the inward movement of blue, to create the passive green. It is the most restful color of all.

They are so many gorgeous ways of combining various shades of green to make intriguing beading patterns. Green modulates from a deep rich emerald green to a bright playful spring green, from a refreshing lime green to a peaceful olive green. Green also leaves plenty of scope for working with contrasts such as light and dark. A pale shades of jade green combined with dark forest green, or deep earthy olive green combined with a very light gray sea green, are but a few of the possibilities to create subtly beautiful beading patterns.

Since there are so many shades of green. it is a color that suits everyone. This is especially important for beaded necklaces, since they are worn very close to the face. However, people who have very dark hair, or are dark skinned, will look more attractive in the stronger shades of blue green or emerald green. Most blond or fairer people will look super in the softer shades of these greens. If you have natural red hair or you are a blond or fairer person with reddish or golden highlights in your hair, you will find that forest green, olive green or yellow green shades are more flattering to your natural colors. All this still applies even if you now have gray hair. The shades of green that suited you as a younger person will continue to suit you later in life.

Beading allows you to choose exactly the right colors to accentuate your own coloring. Because there is such a vast choice of beads you can match them perfectly to your outfit. Beading is certainly a great craft to bring out the artist within, especially if you use the basics of color harmony to create beautiful beading patterns. You can add that special touch to your looks and subtly express your very own individuality.
