your piece will create a strong statement.
Metals: Mix and match metals. Use large metallic accents and/or focal points.
Bracelets: The bangle bracelet is a must have item for the fall. Add metallics and colorful gemstones to
your wrist. Layering bracelets will also be a popular style.
Cocktail Rings: rings are going to remain a popular item for the season. They can be worn for the day
time and night time. This is also a great way to use your left over beads. Check out our wire ring classes.
Necklaces: designs are made to be bold statement pieces. They are layered and full of gemstones
creating a dramatic look that can be worn dressed up or down. They can be vintage inspired or have a
more modern bold style.
