Wood is a very versatile medium. I especially like it when it’s used in jewelry. Wood beads are great to work with. These days they come in a variety of shapes and vibrant colors. I love using them in my handmade beaded jewelry.

Swarovski crystal is top of the line crystal. It’s like the Mercedes Benz of crystal. I just love it I tend to incorporate it in most of my jewelry. It has such shine and glitter that it makes a piece of jewelry stand out. You can create elegant, elaborate pieces or simple, casual pieces. Depending on what you use in combination with your swarovski crystals, you can create a piece in which you can dress up or down. With casual wear or with more dressed up or formal wear. This piece was created mostly with swarovski crystals but cats eye glass beads and a large resin bead was used as a focal point. This color combination is also hot for the fall season.

We all expect to see those warm jewel tones as the summer ends, and we expect the cool fall colors of fall and winter. But guess what? Some of those warm colors will be a must have for the Fall and winter. A lot of ladies love the color blue, it’s a must for your jewelry wardrobe. It remains a hot color for the 2007-2008 Fall season. So sapphire, aquamarine, blue topaz, should definitely be part of your jewelry wardrobe. The pinks and purples will also be back this fall. Try pink topaz and amethyst. I’m also seeing combinations of orange and blue, gray and yellow and browns,taupe and beige. These combinations are being used not only in jewelry but in accessories, bags, and home decor. PINK can be very dramatic, fun and sassy. It has become one of my favorite colors.
