New Silver Wire Necklace with Gemstones

I made a long chunky necklace with Green Gemstones and Antique Copper wire and since its coming towards summer I thought I should make a summer version with silver wire and bright colours.
I love silver and any turquoise together, however these aqua marine beads did not make the striking contrast I had initially envisaged. The aquamarine gemstones are very earthy with some brown hues. I added cracked quartz in crystal , pale  blue and pink. These add a sparkle. So the result is a very pastel summer gemstone collection with silver wire. The necklace is long and the wire beads chunky. There is
crackled quartz added to the back and a handmade clasp.

I am taking this necklace to my stall next Sunday 5th May at Grandma's Proud Fair at Hillhead Book Club restaurant/bar just off Byres Rd. This is one of my last stalls before xmas since I want to concentrate on learning new techniques and the silver
Silver Wire Work Necklace with Aquamarine and Cracked Quartz  Gemstones
smith classes which I start next week. Any feedback, what do you think?
I would like to try a similar necklace with dark blue gemstones, but we need some pastels for summer.
