The popularity for wearing pieces of handmade and handcrafted fashion jewellery has been growing with great speed over the last few years. We are looking for cheaper alternatives in on trend ranges. An eclectic mix of bright and bold designs crafted from different materials to bring us the latest fashion designs for the season.

You can find many pieces of beaded handmade jewellery in all the latest styles and these pieces are growing in popularity with the increase in cost of precious metals and precious gemstones. Other pieces of handcrafted jewellery can be found in base metals in the place of gold and silver and Rhinestones in the place of diamonds. In these collections there will be bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants and rings that are in all the latest style of the season.

Some of the lovely pendants that are a part of the fashion scene this season have a vintage feel to their unique and original designs and are quite Victorian in designs. These will be worn to accessories pretty blouses or with an outfit that has a Bo Ho theme and this will be seen worn by many young people although these are quite a traditional design.

Long dangling chandelier earrings can be seen worn on any occasion where a few seasons ago these are something that would have been saved for evening attire. Many of these pieces of handmade jewellery have been crafted with crystal beads and rhinestones so that they shine and shimmer when they catch the light.

When the nights start to draw in and the days get shorter and darker then our handcrafted jewellery designs start to get brighter and bolder. We find chunky and bold designs that have been created from wooden and ceramic beads that will brighten the dullest of winter days. Designs made from glass peals in lovely colours can be seen as layers of necklaces worn together and large statement necklaces in bright colours worn over black jumpers are the must have things to wear.

In the summer our handmade jewellery choices become lighter and we will want to be seen in pretty jewellery sets made from champagne coloured pearls and long dangling earrings studded with shinny crystals and rhinestones. Pieces that can be seen worn in the summer are pendants, rings, necklaces and bracelets that all have a vintage style. Because the clothes we wear in the summer are lighter, then our accessories are also lighter so bracelets are slim but will wear more than one at a time. We use flowers in the design themes and these could be clip on earrings with flowers or fun rings that have large flowers instead of stones. It does not matter what your preferences are you will find a piece that you will like.
