I recently bought some pearls from Auntie's Beads because I saw some new colors available. I bought melon, cantaloupe, and pumpkin. Here they are with an orange (I have no fresh cantaloupe today!) for a color comparison.
The "matte" pearls shown in the forefront are named "pumpkin". I think these could look either summery or autumn-ish, depending on what you do with them. The large pearly ones are named "melon", and the small ones are named "cantaloupe". I can't discern the difference between the melon and cantaloupe. Can you?
Nevertheless, I think these are very pretty and will make some nice jewelry pieces when I decide what to do with them.
Below, I have arranged them in a mock three strand necklace. These beads would look nice just strung like this, but of course I will find some way to mix them up with different colors when I make the final design.
