Ooooo Shiney....

The wedding is coming up soon.  It will be nice to visit with the family again this year.  Most times, I don't see everyone every year.  As the bridesmaid's dresses we have chosen have a nice v-neckline, they call for a nice necklace to go with it.  I've heard that the bride has chosen some earrings for us, but since I haven't seen them, I'm creating on the blind side here.  All I know is hot pink rhinestones in a silver setting, with a vintage feel.

My first inclination was to go with the wedding colors - yellow, pink, and orange.  Here we have three strands, one of each color, with a mixture of pearls, crystal, glass, and metal.  It's bright and cheerful and makes me happy.  The strands are each a little different in length, so they drape quite nicely.

Then, as I was putting away my supplies, the next necklace came together.  It has a more vintage feel to it, to me anyway.  Again, three strands, one with fuchsia pearls wound with ribbon and filigree beads, the second with glass beads in pink and black (maybe those should have been grey?), and the last a gunmetal twisted chain.  These are all brought together with a filigree and opal rhinestone "buckle".
So Bride2B, which do you think is going to be more appropriate?
