FERNANDO'S TRENDS




LET'S START FROM THE BASICS AND FOR ME CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN STRUCTURE MUST TO BE "IN" REGARDLESS THE TRENDS.
BEADALON® IS ALWAYS " IN " , SO LOOK FOR THE NEW WHITE STRINGING WIRE THAT IS VERY TRENDY, THE NEW TRIPLE COLOR WIRE COMBINATION , CHAMPAGNE AND SILVEROSE™ STRINGING WIRES AS WELL.
IT'S all PERFECT FOR THE MIX METAL COLOR TENDENCY.



Africa=Ethnic chic is totally IN.
Picture Jasper in any color is one of the hot stone of current and upcoming seasons.
Texture and flaws are IN.

Look at the strand above and think about all the lands that you've might never been to but you've seen at the movies. Sahara desert, Australian outbacks, Brazilian savannas..those images are IN. And if you have seen those places...wow..good for you. You are "IN" !
Stone in focus: Red Jasper
Spacers: Sand Opal Crystallized™ round Beads Article: 5000




The photo above is a little blurry but you can feel the vibe. make it any fall?winter outfit more alive with a "easy to make" triple stretch cuff like bracelet. Focal bead is rectangle Brazilian coconut spacer (Acai® Beads) combined with resin beads by Plaid® , Crystallized™ with Swarovski®Elements and gold plated spacers by Beadalon®. For an extra texture Art Deco bronze accents by Guyot®.
Colors: Fernando's palette.

On the group above, organic forms.
Copper chain and brushed oval beads, coral bamboo brunches and discs, Crystallized™ elements and red jasper necklace.
Statement necklaces, bold n' extravagant. (actually those are still small for what's going on now).




Some of my fave of the season on the photo above.
Raw meets polished.

Venetian glass beads have definitely entered the high end jewelry design world.
Natural Brazilian aquamarine chips mixed with fabulous Murano glass beads on duets of foiled silver and gold leaf beads.

On the left size: fabulous long necklace made with aqua-aura glass chain and black lace Venetian heart glass pendant and finished with grey-blue fabric tassel by John Bead.

Right back in the center a graduated faceted white Opal nugget necklace and a golden blue Venetian flower glass hoops. Kidney ear wire by Beadalon.


Few more hot trends:

The timeless turquoise - if you can afford go for the sleeping beauty ones ; if not any strand like the above one will get you IN.

Black onyx and black Agathe
Coral bamboo
Red tiger-eye from Nigeria.(you must import from Nigeria dahhhhling! ... huahuahua)
Kiwi quartz (hummmmmmmm DALICIUUS™ )
