Glass Pendants Hemp

Can you help me with my hemp dilemma?
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.
I think using some additional beads will be the best, but they’ll need to be the right kind. You want to enhance, not overpower your pendant. Two more beads might be all you need (and probably no more than four more), you just don’t want your bead to seem ‘lonely’. I think you should go for something subtle with a soft shape, but with a bit of glint or glimmer – clear iridescent glass balls or small pieces of dichroic glass, for example – which can carry along the theme of the pendant without competing with it. Swarowski crystals probably wouldn’t work – all the facets are too sharp and hard-edged – but something like freshwater pearls might, with their curves and random shapes.
However, I’m only guessing, without seeing the pendant. You and the pendant need to go to some bead stores and do a lot of auditioning.
Good luck, it sounds like a challenging but fascinating project!
