Indian Beaded Jewelry

Earrings are made up of Gemstones, Sterling Silver, Christian, Wire, Semi precious stones, Stiletto, Swarovski Crystal, Birthstones and Pearls. There are lovely chandelier-earrings available made of Czech stones cut into amazing shapes which make you look pure and feminine. If you want to make your earrings yourself you would require the following: 
2 headpins or eye pins
2 ear wires
Beads which you like
Round nose pliers. 

The beads are put in the headpin and if required are placed with spacer beads in between which are metallic. Once you are done with the beading, with the help of a pair of round-nose pliers, bend the pin to a loop. So this is the way the earrings are made. They are cheap and also can be made with all kinds of colored beads. 

Beaded Necklaces 

To make a beaded necklace a wire of medium length is required and a loop is to be made with a pair of round-nosed pliers. Some beads are to be put leaving enough wire for the finishing loop. If required Spacer beads can be used in between the beads. Chains and clasps can be added to the necklace. You can use different colors and sizes to make this necklace, which would be simple yet, stylish. It is always better to buy more beads when making a necklace since they always require more beads. You can also mix and match beads of different sizes and colors. 

Beaded Bracelets 

To make a beaded bracelet the requirement of wire would be less and it needs to be cut with the diameter of your wrist in mind. In case of bracelets you can use bigger beads and the brightest colors so that it gives a fuller look. Use multiple colors for one bracelet so that it can compliment at least two or three outfits. Instead of a wire you can use a colorful thread and transparent beads so that the colorful thread is seen through, that gives quite a dramatic effect. Trinkets can also be attached to the bracelets, little hanging ones that are the latest trend among teenagers. Loops can also be added to the beads. If your beaded bracelet matches your beaded necklace, nothing like it. You can also make a beaded necklace, and loop it so that it gives a braided look. 

Beads are the in-thing now, both stylish and cheap. You can have loads of them; in fact have two or three for every outfit. So you can buy color-lined, iris finish, matte, metallic and silver lined beads so that you can make your jewelry yourself and it does not take much time so that would be quite a convenient option. The above methods are for making a proper necklace or a bracelet, in case you do not want to buy the accessories to make these things there is nothing to feel disappointed about! You can still make a beaded jewelry, you can knot the beads hence make an eye-catching piece of jewelry only with the thread that you would get in your house and beads! 

Spring is right around the corner and theres no better time to plan for the upcoming bead jewelry trends than right now, before the 2008 spring and summer seasons really begin! Predicting future fashion and jewelry trends is always a little bit of a game, but Ive been reading a lot of fashion magazines, listening to my customers that visit my bead jewelry display table and generally talking to people about what they are looking for. There are some definite trends for 2008 and here are some:

Big, bold and beautiful: It sounds like the days of dainty shiny pieces of metal jewelry are gone for the moment and the big and colorful gemstone jewelry and beads are still pretty hot right now. People are still asking for more chunky jewelry, sometimes with larger stones and crystals that catch the eye, sometimes with asymmetrical patterns or at least oddly cut beads and gemstones. 

Colorful and Nature: Im also seeing some emphasis on nature influences which sometimes shows itself in the materials such as wood or stone beads use in jewelry, but Ive also seen a lot more flower and leaf shaped beads and pendants on the scene. Any sort of botanical or organic looking jewelry pieces or beads are still popular from what Ive seen. I dont make much, but Ive actually had people ask me if I have anything that has natural warmth.

Charms and Pendants: Again, going with the bold and bright bead jewelry, what stands out more than a beautiful chain that meets with a large bold diamond or gemstone charm or pendant on the end?

Cocktail Rings: If youre buying, wearing or making rings, consider rings with bling! Cocktail rings are generally over-the-top diamond or gemstone rings that are overly colorful, shiny and, yes, sometimes a bit gaudy. But thats part of the fun! These go along with the bright and bold bead jewelry you might be wearing and could even match or compliment it with similar gemstones or beads. You can make cocktail rings with gemsone beads, crystals or just about any other shiny materials.

Colorful, Colorful, Colorful: Did I mention colorful?! Youll want to think about bright and bold, but remember that natural element! Neons and wild synthetic colors are not popular, but bright natural colors definitely are in, both in clothing and jewelry fashion. Once again, I have to turn to the color experts at Pantone who have picked out the trendy colors for 2008. Dont forget to look at the 28 page Adobe Acrobat guide there! Its fun and inspirational! Im thinking about printing a few of the pages out and hanging them around my beading area for inspiration when Im creating my jewelry.
