Yesterday I shared some spring and summer jewelry trends with you and here are a few examples of the trends paired with art beads. Fibers, handcrafted buttons and bangles are on the top of my hit list!
First up a bracelet from Jean A. Wells that features a ceramic button and leather cord.
A large button can so easily become a pendant, put thread a silk ribbon through one of the holes like this example from Designs by Lu.
Love this button necklace turned into a focal with leather as a decorative part of the construction from Lune Designs.
Linda Landig created these earrings with silk threads. So fun and festive! (You can win a pair on her blog.)
A luscious silk ribbon adds texture and contrast to this copper and ceramic necklace from Staci Louise Design.
A bangle bracelet by Malin de Koning features art beads, natural elements and fibers brass bangle.
Karyn from Plus Size Bangles stacked wooden beads and polymer clay focals for ethnic inspired bangles.
Cindy Wimmer created a wire bangle with art beads and a handmade stamped metal focal have just a touch of sari rbbon.
Kristi Bowman worked up a great summer bangle with one of her copper urchins and stones.
