Bead Style Magazine/Bead Room Trend Watch-Neon

Excited to say that I am writing a new Trend Watch column for Bead Style that is featured on their website in the Bead Room!

The first installment is on the fun, super colorful and hot neon trend!  Even Swarovski Elements has jumped on the neon trends with their new neon pearls ( LOVE!).  Granted neon is not for everyone but still it's a trend that makes you smile with its bright and colorful glow on jewelry, apparel, shoes, handbags and more.

I created some fun and statement making necklaces for Dreamtime Creations for their booth at the Bead & Button show featuring the neon pearls from Swarovski Elements.  Loved working with the pearls and seeing different ways to incorporate the neon into my designs from just a pop of color to very bold striking color.

Don't be afraid to add a little bit of bold color to your jewelry designs!  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Check it out the article and stay tuned for more exciting trends coming to Bead Style Magazine & The Bead Room!
