Bigger is Better
Gone are the days of subtle jewelry piece accents. Fashion is all about big accessory
pieces this year. Chandelier and waterfall earrings continue to be essential wardrobe
accents. New arrivals on the scene include flashy rings and necklaces featuring larger
beads and focal pieces. Multi-strand bracelets and cuffs are also moving to the bigger
side of the spectrum. Don’t be shy, try some of those 10mm+ components this season.

Wire Weaving
Wire wrapping artists have developed a new art form that is sweeping the industry.
Known as wire weaving, knitting or crocheting, this technique uses traditional textile
methods to create airy jewelry pieces. Wire weavers use fine gauge (28ga-30ga) dead
soft wire and ornaments such as beads, stones and charms to craft accessories with a
whole new look. Grab your knitting needles and try it out with Halstead Bead’s new 30ga
sterling wire sold in 5oz spools. This item will be available by November, watch the
website for details.
