I'm always scouring the fashion, jewelry and decore headlines for interesting tidbits which I decided to list here with links to the original articles:
2/8/2025 This trending article, which I guess should also appear in other bead news, by Jenny Okosun about 13 Hottest Jewelry Trends she sees in 2025 brings a very specific beading technique to the forefront:
Chains
Pearls with a Twist
Celestial Motifs
Chunky Gemstone Pendants
Nature Inspired Designs
and #12 on her list is Beaded and Bead Woven Jewelry
This link will take you to her complete list.
Now of course beads, and gemstones are always in fashion, but many don't realize the amazing and various techniques used when creating with them and the amazing and exquisite pieces of jewelry produced.
