Gemstones: The Oscar of Colors

Different sizes of the colored gemstones, with diamond thrown in, were connected in spider web formation. This necklace was so ornate; no other jewelry was needed or worn.

The necklace was paired with a red dress. Red and green are complimentary colors, however there was so much going on with the dress and the necklace that the overall affect was disharmonious. There was no real focal point to the outfit, which is needed when pairing colors so the eye darted about. Not a good combo.
