Inspiration for pieces explained: Opposites Attract Bracelet
I love the glossy feel of hematite, and mother-of-pearl is exceptionally pretty.
I love black and white combinations myself, and decided that the not-as-black as onyx hematite was a good foil to the not-quite-white of the mother-of-pearl.
I especially love this piece because of its silky feel, although I had to work hard to make sure the pattern of the beads was even, and not stripy!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Hematite Bracelet and Earrings
Hematite is a strange material as it is iron-coloured, but can be polished very highly. It also goes very well with silver, and far from looking cold, the shiny grey/silver looks classy and understated. Very elegant!
The bracelet I have added lots of different sizes and shapes of beads to, giving lots of texture and interest to the piece.
