What a great concept! This satisfies my idea of ” painting” with gems and jewelry. Beautiful work and congrats on the cover.

Though I recognized that necklace! Congratulations on winning the cover! Both versions are simply stunning! It takes true artistry to make those transitions with the media used in these necklaces.

Oh my, I can totally see how you made the magazine cover with this piece, Linda! It’s hard to take my eyes off this collection of bead shapes and sizes forming a perfect rainbow of color! Congratulations, and I wish you many more magazine covers. 🙂

Thank you all for your kind comments! I am humbled to have my design selected for the cover and appreciate all the notice it/I receive. I just completed a 3rd version in all sterling silver that uses smaller stones so it is not as “super-chunked”!

Just one word – FABULOUS
I love the rainbow transition and the double strand. I have been inspired to look through my bead soup again.
Thanks

Wow, Linda, congrats! It has to be an amazing feeling to see your work on the cover of a magazine! WooHoo! I love it. You have inspired me. I have been playing with the idea of Ombre use of color on a necklace, but worried about it looking lopsided or disjointed. Your use of two levels is brilliant and a great solution.

I love the rainbow concept with the beads. I have just designed a similar necklace but mine is with much smaller beads. I got a “grab bag” of small semi-precious stone beads from an online web bead company. You never know what stones or shapes you will get. As I started to sort out the colors I found I had enough to make a 5″ rainbow pattern (red to purple). I’m going to send each side of the necklace with apatite and lapis beads.
