Bracelet design

A unique bracelet design inspired from my recent trend spotting trip to Indy.
This is a really cool piece that would look funky, edgy and elegant at the same time. I'm going to play around with different pearls and stones for this one. Shown here with graphite colored glass pearls. Priced At $35.

I've been invited to place a modest selection of my work in a local craft shop. All handmade, all local artisans are there. I'm honored really, to have been invited! So, I keep a dozen or so of my nicer pieces on the counter. We'll see how it goes for the holidays.

trend spotting for beads and jewelry

I went to the Keystone Fashion mall recently on a gathering trip and noticed a jewelry trend in most of the high end shops there. 
Lots of multiple strand necklaces with CHAINS like you wouldn't believe. 
Many darker patinas on the metals and beads. Pearls are back with abundance. I especially like the treand of using large chunky semi precious stones. Neat trip for design ideas. I recommend you go to a few shops that you normally don't frequent and see what's out there for trend watching!
