Trends in Costume Jewellery and Beads for 2010
Trends in costume jewellery and beads can be a difficult one to call and despite many hours, even days, researching what is currently in vogue (as well as what is not in vogue!) a minor error even in something as obvious as a colour shade can prove to be a costly mistake. Taking that a step further and trying to forecast what will be the next big trend is an even more complex problem…
What I have tried to do here is outline a few basic concepts which I look at when I am deciding what bead stock to order for the next few months. I have also let you into a few secrets as well…
Colour Trends
Winter 2009/10: Throughout the early part of 2010 I have seen huge demand for acid greens, purples/lilac, burnt orange and teal. The interesting thing to note here is that not any old green would do – the more acid and vibrant the green the better!
Spring 2010: As spring gets under-way I am starting to see a shift to Royal Blue, black, white, and red. A strong nautical theme here with anchors everywhere as well as pearl laden designs.
Now, let me tell you into a secret of mine… If you make jewellery to sell it is imperative that you have a few items made using black and white. Black and white is classic and really does span all age ranges. I always try and stock black and White Beads at all times of the year because I don’t think a week goes by when someone doesn’t ask for this combination… It is great for everyday, for weddings, for funerals, in fact there isn’t really a time when a black and white design can’t be worn.
Summer 2010: As summer approaches I forecast pinks, oranges and Light Green with a return to purples and lilac. A summer feel yet with a twist of retro patterns and an underlying sense of the 60′s and 70′s in a faded way.
Autumn and Winter 2010: Autumn and Winter should be easier to call as I am pretty sure a simple palette of greys, white and blacks, and warm browns (honey) will fit the bill. So for those taking my advice above you should already have a few pieces of jewellery ready for this season. One thing to watch here will be the increased use of gold or bronze-coloured findings as the overall result will be one of richness, especially when browns are used in a design. The use of silver-coloured findings may be too stark a contrast to the warmness required.
Bead Trends
2010 has continued to see a need for large, chunky beaded designs. One of the downfalls of such designs can be the overall weight of a finished piece. There has therefore been an increase in the number of designers using large acrylic and resin beads and hollow pierced or wire Metal Beads. I forecast that this will continue but I also believe that this trend will reach further and the use of many other media will develop. Beads made from wood, paper, fimo clay, felt, etc. will all be popular especially during the Summer and Autumn. A feast of multi-media jewellery designs should be available.
As Winter approaches and the party season begins a need for more sophisticated and delicate jewellery is usually the order of the day. Crystals and Glass Beads will take more of a front-seat ride during this time.
The above information is provided as a guide only and we strongly recommend that jewellery designers and crafters follow high street trends closely to help them with colour matching and styles.

decorated champagne bottle, how do I “seal” it with an epoxy resin/ clear coat?
6 years ago I decorated a champagne bottle for my boyfriend (now, husband 
, using pictures of us, glass beads, stickers, etc. After applying all the “goodies”, I was instructed to apply several coats of Modge Podge over the entire bottle. Then took it to a place and had them apply a clear, hard, plastic coating. Epoxy?
My sister-in-law saw the bottle and wants to make one for her boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. What material will give this same effect?
Acrylic? Epoxy Resin? etc.
And how should it be applied? sprayed? painted? “dipped”?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!!!
You can coat something like that with one coat of epoxy resin (the kind sold for crafts** or with “bar top resin” sold at Home Depot/etc), or you can just use a clear polyurethane (and perhaps do a couple of coats).
The resin is two-part though, takes 24-72 hrs to fully cure, and is a little more fiddly to use than a polyurethane (I use the Varathane brand of polyurethane in particular –the gloss, indoor, one). Both could be dipped or brushed/etc on though (if dipping, the polyurethane would be thicker than if just brushed on).
You could also buy an acrylic spray and use that but it probably won’t be quite as clear as the liquid ones, and you’d want to do multiple light sprays.
(“White glues” like ModPodge decoupage medium and other thinned white glues will dry clear and are adhesive, but they just aren’t as resistant to later scratching or cloudiness from humidity like polyurethanes are… in fact, polyurethanes are often used as a final coat over white glues and even epoxy resins sometimes to improve some of those qualities.)
If you’re interested in those two materials and ways to apply them (including dipping), and more, check out these two pages at my site:
http://glassattic.com/polymer/finishes.htm > Varathane
http://glassattic.com/polymer/other_materials.htm > Epoxy Resins > Coating, Dipping
(…my site is primarily about Polymer Clay, so the Finishes page especially deals most with using clear finishes on polymer clay, but most of the info should be the same for other materials/items)
**some easily-available brands would be Envirotex Lite, Ultra Glo, and perhaps Crystal Sheen, etc…. epoxy resins come as two bottles of equal-size, A + B (which are mixed together just before use)
(…btw, do NOT buy a “polyester” resin for this use… that type of resin could easily be sticky on the surface sooner or later… it comes in one large bottle and one small one)
HTH,
Diane B.
