I received the Teal Carnival today!!!
And this lovely is quite a chameleon, no joke. The aqua/teal beads are soft and subdued, very fall or autumnal, especially with the gunmetal connecting tubes. The frosted blue beads are darker, almost sultry looking. The purple or amethyst beads pair beautifully with the blues and some of the frosted ones are almost a mauvey taupe. Stunning shade. I don't see a grass green, but do see a frosted shade that appears to be more of an understated pastel teal green, or even a muted greenish aqua shade. The clear "green" bead is so light its almost translucent. These greens are very understated. Very, very pretty. The piece as a whole is STUNNING.
I had a mini field day matching this necklace. I had my v neck "India" print shirt out (a293757) in the fuchsia and wow did that pop. The same shirt in alabaster also looks remarkable with the colors in this necklace. Honestly, not sure I'd wear these two together, I think it'd be too much, probably overkill with the two strong patterns and textures. But I must say the colors are extremely complimentary. Even the Blue India top looks good with the necklace colorwise.
Next I went to solids. L👀k out!!!
Our Linea navy, olives & greens, khaki & camo, dark grey, taupes, the new mushroom looks totally bonkers cool, blackberry, purples and the various lighter dusky, dusty shades of amethyst, iris whatever ... and this is just for starters! Whoopee!
I thought this piece on our Navy was especially stunning as a column of color accessory. I was talking out loud to myself (and my clothes ) as I waltzed from each different color and garment, wide eyed and gleeful. It was quite exciting.
The darker connecting tubes creates a dressier cool weather look, IMO. Although I am one to wear pearls with t shirts, this piece has a stronger presence. Plus it's more substantial than the original Mardi Gras necklace. If you're one for a more demur or delicate jewelry accessory, be forewarned. The Carnival has oomph, and no nonsense moxie. I think I'm in love. (Hah! Again and still with Louis' gorgeous jewelry)
I plan to revisit this Teal beauty tomorrow along with the Plum and Caramel. I spent time with the Plum, but not as much as the Teal. Even less with the Caramel. I'll continue to share my thoughts if you can handle my utter excitement, I just don't know if I can!!! W😲W!!! ♡♡♡
Anyone else receive their Teal necklace?
