TRENDY BEADED JEWELRY

Designer Beaded Jewelry

The internet has fuelled growth in both the supplier as well as the market front. As such, the variety of beaded jewelry (and any kind of jewelry for that matter) available nowadays is unprecedented. Competition is huge and every jewelry maker is vying to get ahead of the times as far as jewelry designs go. As such, there has been a huge surge in creativity and new never-seen-before designs have sprung up giving rise to what is known as designer beaded jewelry.

Designer beaded jewelry is just the name given to new-age jewelry wherein newer designs, newer colors, shapes, sizes and ideas that are radically different from older designs have been incorporated by various budding and established designers. Of course, not every time is designer jewelry new. Often vintage designs are taken and adapted to modern tastes with little changes to produce beautiful specimens of beaded jewelry.

It is also common for designer beaded jewelry to integrate the use of a lot new-age materials such as plastics, glass etc. What this essentially means is that while beads were essentially made in the past of naturally occurring stones , shells and even some seeds that were just polished a bit into shape, today’s designer has material in his hands that can be molded to any shape of his/her choice. This opens up a totally new range of variety that can be experimented with. Imagination is the only thing that can limit the artist’s choices for beads.

Many designers use this to their advantage. It is not uncommon to see beads (if you can even call them that!) shaped in the profile of a leaf or dewdrops or even little worms! Thus, new-age pieces of beaded jewelry can be of any color and shape and can hence be designed according to the mood of the times. For example, brightly colored beads in the shape of leaves and fruits can be worn all through spring and pure-white beads that look like pieces of ice or snowflakes will perfectly suit you during the chilly winters.

Some designer pieces also choose to get even funkier. There are handbags made that are decorated with beads to form the face of a famous person or even the customers themselves!

Thus, just like everything is going ‘designer’ in the present times, beaded jewelry too is no exception. If you want to stay with the times, you better get ready to shop for some too!
