written by Ashley Oliver
written by Ashley Oliver
The weather is heating up and so are the jewelry design trends. It is time to create
jewelry that is bright, bold, funky, and dramatic! Recently the demand for handcrafted
jewelry has been on the rise which means making jewelry is very popular!
Foretasted colors and Gemstones
Blue- Turquoise, Blue Topaz, Aquamarine, Peruvian Opal, Chalcedony
Green- Amazonite, Jade, Peridot
Yellow- Lemon quartz, Citrine
Pink- Rose quartz, Coral
Lavender- Amethyst, Fluorite
Brown- Smoky Quartz, Topaz
Black- Onyx, Obsidian
White- Shell, Pearls, Quartz
Cocktail Rings
Rings are still the hot item this summer season and the bigger the better. Make a
statement with colorful chunky cocktail rings that are full of bling and sparkle. Learn
how to make cocktail rings at Bead & Pearl choose from these different rings classes:
wire II rings, cocktail wire wrapped rings, and bling rings.
Bracelets
There is strong emphasis on the wrist. Chunky bangles, cuffs, and stacked bracelets
are a must have. Make bracelets that are full of color and drama.
Necklaces
Similar to last season necklaces are a big statement piece. They are even bolder and
brighter this season. Mix natural gemstones and natural inspired beads to achieve this
look.
Earrings
Earrings will also follow the trend of gemstones mixed with chains. Long dangle and
chandelier earrings will be a popular look.
Metals
Because gold is very costly, silver and other alternative metals like gold filled, copper,
brass, antiqued and oxidized metals are being used. Mix metals and textures like shinny,
matte, and hammered with bright colored beads to create a natural funky look. Use
chains to make your pieces modern.
Nature
Nature will continue to be seen in jewelry designs through the summer. Use wood,
natural gemstones, pearls, leather, shells, and nature inspired beads and charms such as
flowers, leaves, birds, and butterflies, to create an organic look.
Ethnic
The ethnic look has a strong presence in jewelry this summer which helps achieve bold
and chunky colorful pieces. Add wood, ceramic, seed beads, and leather to your
designs to achieve this look.
Charms
Personalize your jewelry with inspirational charms. If you can not find just the right
piece, make your own charms with Precious Metal Clay (PMC), stamping, or buy
already made charms. Add charms to necklaces, bracelets, and even earrings.
