Looking for colors woman prefer on my chain necklaces
It has been brought to my attention that some of my colors although beautiful, are too masculine. So I need some friendly womenly advice to tell me what colors women prefer in my chain necklaces. So lets just say you were going to buy one.... what color would you like? Here is a link to my etsy site.

Also if you have any recommendations on some nice striking pinks I would love to here from you as well. I usually use Glass Alchemy.

Your colors are quite beautiful but I might add lavender, turquoise
, green mixes or as single colors. Well you have green already.

I don't think they're too masculine at all. I love the lock & key set, and the red one is to die for! I think your bracelets rock. I just don't own one because I am hell on bracelets LOL I wear a hollow gold bangle that is one big dent. And I *sob* broke a leaf in half on a beautiful glass bracelet Mz Glitz made for me.
Yes, some purples and pinks might be nice, maybe some of those pretty boro colors, like GA's Spring Luster, Amazon Canyon or Amazon Night? Or one of Northstar's Amber Purples?
JMHO!

The antique purple color like your encased beads would be nice made into chain. Also, a combo of clear, white, and red chain links would be pretty for Valentine's Day.
Pastel colors in general are preferred by a lot of women, like baby blue instead of cobalt, or minty green instead of dark grass green.

Thank you I appreciate your feedback. Any advice on some pinks? I have never used a lot of those I was thinking about combining some pink with a ruby red or something of that nature.

What age bracket are most of your buyers? White, black, navy, and red are great tried and true colors.
2014 color trends link: They say the fashion industry is going with orchid as the color of the year 2014 in the link below you see that orchid is out in front. Opaque colors are different than transparent so make both and see what sells best for you.

I love plain etched clear, any silver glass (encased maybe?), Maybe a combo of bright orange and pink with a hint of aqua.

Ditto on the pink and purple, but I also love turquoise Perhaps Peacock Chameleon? It may be just me, but I would prefer smaller links in the necklace. I usually don't wear anything that big.

The antique purple and aqua are beautiful (they're all beautiful) and I like pink and etched clear. I don't find your colors to be masculine.

I think these are great Joe! Have a look at this, it is a new system by Troll. I think you are on trend! You might be able to work some beads to go with this system, they are lacking glass components.

Love, Love, Love the chain jewelry! I would try some necklaces too! Also I think your prices are too low IMHO for the glass chains.

They're beautiful! If you strike that triple passion to bring out some blues and purples and reduce some...yeah. One of my favorites and usually a good seller with those colors.

I like your pieces, but if I were looking for colors that men would like, I would choose yours. Looking at your website, my overall impression is earth tones of beige, brown, and tan, with some blue thrown in.
I think the scale of the beads looks too big for a lot of women. (But there's nothing in the pictures to show scale, so I'm not sure why that is). Smaller, more delicate pieces would be a good addition to your line.
Using more clear in the design can make a bead look more delicate, even if it's the same size and pattern. Ditto for transparents (yeah, most of your beads are transparent, but you lose some delicacy when etching)
Red-based purples like orchid seem more feminine than blue-based purples like eggplant, and really pop when combined with yellow-greens.
blue-green-teal combos are a lot of fun.
I don't like yellow, but a lot of women do.
LOVE those chains!
