DIY Swarovski Crystal Heart Necklace Bridal designs and instructions

“I Do!”

Say “I do” to this lovely style heart shape necklace. This romantic design utilizes the new 5748 Arrow Bead in unique ways to create a larger heart center, complimented by the 5743 Wild Hear Bead. The White Patina Effect has a dreamy timeless quality, similar to that of Venetian glass in that it creates a sense of movement withing the crystal where there is always something new to catch your eye!

DIY Swarovski Crystal Dangle Earrings Design and Instructions

“Worth The Wait”

These multi tiered Swarovski Crystal and Pearl dangle earrings combine many on-trend elements together into one fanciful design. Stacking different sizes of the 5541 and 5542 Dome beads creates a nice layout for incorporating layered chain, which is then highlighted by crystals and pearls. What I like most about this design is that it has a free flowing nature to it and I feel like once I put them on, all I’d wanna do is dance!

3 Jewelry Trends for 2015

Women’s fashion and jewelry trends are continuously evolving and it’s nice to keep up to date with expected forecasts. Not only does it keep you stylish and looking your best, it can be a great source of inspiration, sparking your creativity to design new special pieces for your business, yourself, as well as friends and family!

One of the best trends this year includes making and buying homemade jewelry!

We all know there is something extra special about making your own jewelry. You know exactly what styles you like best, and there is something magical that happens when you’re directly involved in the creative process of designing something beautiful. You feel accomplished, you’re energy level is uplifted, you feel a boost of optimism and are proud to wear your personalized jewelry.

It also feels incredibly great to make something for a friend, family or colleague as well as supporting self-employed designers. It’s a remarkable feeling when you purchase from designers, because you’re directly supporting their skills and passion which is essentially making their dreams come true!

A really unique fashion trend for 2015 is the unbalanced style!

The single-earring trend has given way to innovative ear ornamentation. The distinguishing characteristic is an asymmetrical look, whether in color, length or shape. Beauty is found in the irregularity of the style, it’s about branching out and embracing something totally different.

I admit, it can feel a little odd to not have matching earrings, but if you’d like to step out of your comfort zone and do something a little wild and crazy…then I say go for it, there’s no harm in trying something new. Plus, you can make it as dramatic or as subtle as you’d like.

Swarovski_Crystal_Pendants

Statement Pendants are a bold and definitive style trend in 2015!

The pendant necklace is coming out swinging this year! This is fabulous news for all you crystal lovers out there! There are abundant Swarovski crystal pendant options and with this style, you don’t have to choose just one. Mix and match different styles together creating exceptionally exclusive designs that are one-of-a-kind delights. You can instantly update your basics with a large pendant or intricate necklace design.
