What Beads Needed This Year?

This Year's Fashion Trends
For 2016 fashion, the hot theme on catwalks is the 1990s. Punk is back, along with bohemian spirit. Outrageous huge earrings, chic choker necklaces, paper-clip jewellery, piercing, mood rings and angle bracelets are in.

Valentino's have romantic dream-catcher earrings with beads and folky feathers, and tribal-inspired talisman necklaces and bracelets. The African trend is everywhere with travel and nostalgia mixed with lush vegetation and sharp urban design. Explore and escape the mundane theme is very-much in - with Cuba and south of the border fashionable. Peach Echo is a hot colour this year, so use rose quartz beads.

This Years Colours
Matisse, Picasso and Frank Stella use striking shapes and bold colours for 2016. Think icicle and calsilica beads for your new jewellery. This vibrant dramatic style is also combined with quieter, classic colours, like lilac and grey - try agates in your designs. Iced coffee is another neutral colour talked about in this season’s palette.

Light blues remain popular, reflecting the serenity and naturalness of spacious open skies. Likewise, marine and aqua blue is still in fashion, representing tranquility and escape to holidays in these turbulent times.

Don't Forget Classic
However, there is also a revival of timeless jewellery. Like pearls and brooches - especially with a modern style, like Chanel's new pearl chocker pearl necklaces. Pearls have risen 369% over a decade, according to the Knight Frank's Index. I've noticed them increase wholesale in China too. This trend will continue as natural pearls become scarcer dragging cultural pearls up with them. Silver and gold pearls especially combine this classic with contemporary style.

Make Personal Jewellery For the Young
Harrods and all the top London stores are expanding their jewellery departments. This means that jewellery is again selling well, and confirmed by analyst Mintel who said year-on-year UK jewellery sales were up 1.2% with estimated annual sales of £4.15 billion in 2015. Apparently this increase is driven by young women between 16 to 24 purchasing jewellery themselves - especially charms and other personal designs.
