My son makes fun of me for making matching sets. I can’t help myself… I like to have earrings, necklace and bracelet that go together…. I have been trying to “think outside the box” lately but it is a struggle…. so I use the excuse that “matchy matchy” is my “thing”. Oh, and his second favorite saying is “beads on beads on beads” meaning I need to incorporate different elements such as metal, which is a lot easier than not making matching sets. Who taught that kid to be an independent thinker?

Comment on Colors That Flatter Everyone by colorforbeadartists

Yes, Sally, turquoise, depending how much green is in it and how much yellow is in the person’s skin, is flattering to just about anyone. I was surprised that it wasn’t included in the article. Thank you for reading and responding.

I completely agree with you about the Mellow Rose. No way would I be able to wear that. I had always heard that the one color everyone can wear is turquoise but that wasn’t even on Real Simple’s list. Teal is a dark version, I guess! It’s very interesting!

I love matched sets (earrings, ring, bracelet and necklace) which probably makes me the queen of matchy-matchy (big grin, no frown ). At the same time, I get bored easily and I don’t like doing the same thing twice, not even the two earrings in one pair! So, when I design a set I stick with the same theme, color scheme and beads but I change things around by using variations on the theme and different techniques for each piece.

I often sell 3 or even 5 piece jewellery sets at markets, with only two items of the set being a little “matchy-matchy”. Earrings are usually a simple stud style in a co-ordinating colour to the necklace.
I always give my mother’s advice to only wear two items from a set.
