I think the red background would go beautifully with red :o)

Your bracelet is called a cuff. Your stone color appears greenish in the photo...? That would be Autumn colors...or Fall...to accompany the set.

Are your pieces signed by the artist? When passing pieces down through the family you'll want to have that written down or stamped on the piece for future reference. A very nice addition to a jewelry collection I might add. Very pretty! Is it turquoise matrix?

The settings are beautiful. You made wonderful choices. This art fair you went to must have been exciting.

Here is a little better photo.i hope! Yes, it is numbered and signed. The artist designs all of his jewelry. I have not had any turquoise jewelry before but it was so pretty I had to buy it even though it was pricey! THEN, I wondered what colors to wear with it! :). Thanks so much for all of the ideas!

I also was looking online and was really surprised at the different colors that could be worn with it. One picture showed a lady wearing a fuchsia dress with a turquoise necklace! Would never have thought that but it really popped! Nicole, he was telling me about the stones and now wish I had paid more attention but was too busy looking!

You might find this interesting...I do. After I buy a piece I research the design, where the idea might have come from. Artists get inspiration from their surroundings. Your bracelet is traditional Navajo.

Note: I also own a cuff. Mine is an old pawn piece from an Arizona estate. I paid $50 for it 3 years ago. Your stones are matrix....which is perfectly acceptable in the arts & crafts genre. A very pretty set! (matrix is actually harder and more time consuming to get "right" when creating it, than a large slab of stone. A stand alone art form!)

Thanks Nicole, enjoyed looking at those and that is a great idea to do some research . The cuff was actually bought from a different artist than the necklace but I thought I lucked out as the colors were so much alike. I paid $150 for the necklace and $100 for the cuff but I really like them! Both are signed by the artists. I am very happy that so many different colors will go with them!! :)

Oh, my! How yellow that light in the first picture must have been! There's plenty of turquoise that's that green, but I also thought the metal was gold! Given your new picture, ignore what I said above.

All true blues should be great. '70's classic--turquoise and silver with indigo denims. But also sky and navy, just be careful that anything in the turquoise range doesn't clash.

The complementary color is in the orange family. All kinds of muddy
oranges would make it pop and look fantastic. Pumpkin, sienna, rust...

Autumn leaf colors and earthtones would be great.

Purples and pinks not so much, though a specific shade might go.

Real reds would set off the jewelry, but be pretty in your face.

Most yellows and greens wouldn't be great because they'd be fighting with the stones rather than showing them off.

All the neutrals should go fine to great: white, black, grays, taupes, browns, cream, beige, etc.

Plllog,

you are right about the first picture as I took it last night under the dining room light! The last one was taken this morning under natural light. The metal is silver in both. I am so amazed that so many colors will go with them!

Thanks so much everyone, so nice to know I have so many choices!! :-)

My friends/family consider me a fashionista. I wear a lot of turquoise jewelrey and I never match it with what I am wearing because it looks great with almost all colors. I even had a pair of bold turquoise eyeglass frames that I wore every waking hour and wore them with all colors. It is a versatile color and goes with most colors.

Try it with everything you own!
