Working effectively with colors for making beaded jewelry requires some deeper understanding of color harmony and color symbolization.
Each color has a specific meaning.
When colors are combined, the effect of each color will change.
Either they will be toned down or become more expressive.
Two hues that really gain more power when combined are black and red.
They create a very expressive color combination for making bold looking jewelry.
Black is a strong, deep hue with a receptive quality.
Red is bold and assertive.
Both black and red are symbolic for power and when combined their dynamic energy is intensified.
Red activates everything, even the heavy, stoic black.
Combined with black, red develops its highest momentum of expression.
In addition, black focuses the energy of red and allows it to sparkle, giving it at the same time dignity and costliness.
Combined together, these two hues certainly express assertive strength.
They also have a luxurious flair encompassing them.
It is possible to find great beads, both in black and red.
There are so many beautiful variations to combine: red colored amber with black African trade beads, jet black beads with cherry red crystals, lustrous pearly black beads with sponge red coral.
The possibilities for producing exciting designs are manifold and set no limits to creativity.
Whatever beads you choose, the result will always appear extremely striking.
Red and black are not easy to combine with other colors.
In fact, they really look at their best when worn with either black or red outfits.
Sometimes, they can look excellent worn with dark gray or white.
Using colors as a central theme for beaded jewelry makes it easy even for beginners to create impressive and beautiful works of art.
You do not have to take hours to manufacture intricate beading patterns.
The rhythmical combination of colors is in itself extremely effective.
