Trendy Seed Beads

 Every couple months, I do some jewelry trending by going to Kohls and Macys. Both have enough national brands so that when I see the same thing across many brands, I know there is some trending!


As always, I see a handful of really obvious trends. On this trip, the trends included lots of pearls, tiny tiny chains, and sparkly crystals. But, for this post, I am focusing on seed beads.





 Earrings. We also see the tiny chains in two of these.


 Bracelets.  Seed beads glued on...


 Combined with lots of other things....


Stitched in a pattern...

 On elastic....


 On memory wire...



 Necklaces.




 Good news is that making seed bead jewelry is fairly inexpensive. And the color range is huge. 


Take a jewelry trending trip yourself and see what you find.
