A Passion for Jewelry. A Passion for Life.

Red October? How about "Not Over November" - YEAH PHILLIES!!!!

Why do we create jewelry? And why do we wear it? Do we create something just because it’s pretty? Sometimes. But the pieces that really hit home and have some drive to them are the ones that are created out of passion. Passion that embodies a necklace or a pair of earrings and lets the wearer feel like she stands for something when she puts it on (or he, of course!)

Check out my newest webcam photo above. It’s of my Phillies bracelet that I made during game 1 of the World Series 2009. I’ve worn it everyday since the start of the Series, it embodies my belief in my team. The Phils are down on the count right now, this I know, but it doesn’t affect my whole-hearted belief in my team, and that is why I wear my bracelet.

What do you wear that strikes your passion? What have you created that has embodied passion for another? As jewelry creators, we have the power to influence our customers, our friends, our families…our jewelry WEARERS lives! Tons of people wear jewelry to feel a connection to something. What connection will you bring to the piece you make today?

Passion…Pass it On.

And Go Phils! You can do it boys!

Fall 2009 Fashion Jewelry Trends

Jewelry and fashion. What would one be without the other? Though jewelry trends change with the season, there is but one constant – Jewelry will NEVER go out of style. As a jewelry creator, you are blessed with the gift of fashion – you can take heed to the season’s hottest trends and create your own unique versions with riveting personal style.

Now, on with Fall Trends 2009! What’s hot this season? And how can we add some of that hotness to our next jewelry designs? The major jewelry trends this fall are big, bold pieces that are rich in COLOR and TEXTURE.

Get in style this fall by creating ornately detailed earrings, necklaces, cocktail rings, chunky bracelets and cuffs. Make elaborate details with gemstones, filigrees, tassles and charm decorum. Anything ornate that will add texture to your piece is completely in-style for this fall’s fashion season.

Fall 2009 is killer for color – Have you seen the Pantone report for this season? Holler! It’s amazingly vibrant, rich and alluring.  Take heed to Pantone’s advice, as they are right on point with fashion and jewelry color trends for fall. Colors are rich, yet casual and they absolutely scream fall.

Asymmetrical Design

Beauty lies in imperfection.

Unbalanced BLING

Asymmetrical Necklace

ASYMMETRICAL DESIGN

WHY IT’S HOT: Asymmetry is a style that is off the beaten path and all over the fashion world. Make your design a little off and you’ve got an eye-catching, modern, “look at me now” piece.

HOW TO PULL IT OFF: Choose your materials and don’t be afraid to mix materials you wouldn’t normally put together. Lay your design out evenly and then shake it up by rearranging sections until you’ve found an asymmetrical flow.

*tip: Left over beads from past projects make great components for asymmetrical designs. Economical never looked so good!

“Used almost every bead from my last order. Have a very few blue & pink. What a tremendous way to spark creativity. I am now painting silk scarves to match the beads I am getting from you. As I told you before, all of my work was donated, now I will try to sell the scarves & earrings to match. Thank you for the beautiful selection of beads. There were no bad beads to toss out”

Thanks, Paulette. We love when our customers take note of the high quality of the beads in our mixes. We don’t include “floor sweeps” or irregular beads. These are the same, high-quality beads that you will find in our packaged beads, too.

Customers love Jesse James’ Beads
