Pearls and Carnelian: Help Me Decide

I'm hoping for some design input.

I ordered some strands of metallic pearls recently--they are head drilled (which you'll see in the photos) and I wanted to mix them with carnelian head-drilled briolettes. But which strand of pearls do you think would look best with the carnelian? I've included pix below. Keep in mind that I'm thinking of the overall piece, and that 'going' is not the same as 'matching,' if that makes sense. Which pairing would bring out the best of BOTH gemstones?

Take a look and help me decide. Comment here, if you'd be so kind. I've included the carnelian strand both on top and below to make the comparison easier.







Thanks!
