Complementary Gemstones for Bolder Opals: Color & Compatibility


Question
I recently purchased 8mm Bolder Opal beads and an unset 'free form' pendant.  I hope to make (at least) one necklace.  What other stones work will with the opals?

Answer
Hi Pat ,

Boulder is Brown,so I like to have something yellow with it

try  any yellowish looking  stone beads like yellow citrine or yellowish quartz, depends what you want to spend , but amber would be excellent .
.I use blue topaz in settings  with boulder pieces . Also you can try  aquamarines.  hope that helps
best regs Rod
