Can you help me with my hemp dilemma?

Question

Well I just recently purchased a glass bead that was specially blown for me from this merchant. It is a pretty glass spiral pendant with rainbow colored hues throughout it. The colors do not move in the same order as the rainbow, but have a fairly random order to it. It's very soft colored and pretty - also is two inches long.

I decided to use a double stitch spiral hemp technique pattern on a natural colored hemp to form the hemp necklace, but what I am not sure of is whether or not to have additional beads on the necklace. If so, then I am not sure what color bead. The pendant is fairly big - the size of an average male's pinky finger.

So what do you think I should do? Add other beads? If so, what kind and color. And if not then why not? Thanks a bunch.

Answer 1

something that colorful would be fine on it's own but if you want to add more beads solid colors that match the rainbow colors would be fine. Just add  like one or two more on either side of the large one. I wouldn't add too much because if this one bead is big and colorful it may stand out a little bit better and it will look good like that. play around with the colors before you add them on kind of line them up a bit to see what they might look like together off of the necklace, then when you like the way it will look add them on. I hope your project turns out nice! good luck!!
