Seasonal Jewelry Articles

While winter is all about adhering to the basics, summer is the time to try all things quirky! Summer has always been about trying different things that appeal to you, make you look different and pleasant at the same time. Not to forget the core elements of summer fashion: comfort and color.

Winter is already here, and the time has come for all of us to take out our warm clothes and show off our trendy earrings or new trend necklaces. Let’s look at the top winter jewelry trends of 2021 and 2022.

Chain Necklace

Yep, chain necklaces still dominate all other types of necklaces. In jewelry, personalization is critical! Make sure you’re wearing a pendant that matches your personal style and looks elegant and attractive at the same time. A chain necklace with a lampwork bead is all you need for your upcoming parties.

From the early Romans to modern-day teenagers, gemstones continue to be cherished by humans everywhere. There are “birthstones” associated with each month. So, since winter is approaching, let’s talk about the winter gemstones.

What are Winter Gemstones?

Experts suggest that the gemstones or birthstones associated with each month were chosen as per directions given in the Bible. They follow the pattern of 12 different gemstones found on Aaron’s Breastplate in Exodus 28.

Fall is a season of rich colors and vibrant hues. Just ask the thousands who book New England's famous autumn leaf tours! Those iconic colors of autumn's natural splendor are reflected in our wardrobe choices for fall and even winter.

These colors may be representative of the range of colors present in a pile of autumn leaves but they are also as unique as each one of those individual leaves. They are confident and assertive without a trace of meekness. Calm and sedate, sophisticated and worldly, or strikingly unique, there's a fall and winter palette that's perfect for you! 

Fourth of July Fashion Jewelry

It’s almost that time of year again! With the rising temperature comes the Fourth of July. If you are looking for something patriotic to celebrate the day, why not get creative? You don’t need to pick up tacky stars and stripes jewelry! Try combining your fashion jewelry to create an all-American look.

Handcrafted jewelry is a great alternative to the commercially sold red, white, and blue accessories. The best part about wearing simple fashion jewelry is that you can wear it all year round. Why store Fourth of July accessories all year, when you can have an equally patriotic look with much more beautiful handcrafted jewelry?

Christmas is right around the corner and somehow, it always manages to sneak up on a few of us every year. The Christmas season is full of bright reds and merry greens. These two 'go-to' Christmas colors make it easy to find gifts for everyone on your list this year.

If you are looking for a unique and festive accessory this holiday season, consider adding a one of a kind anklet to your favorite outfit. Beaded anklets are not only for lazy summer days. They can be just the piece to set off your style in cold weather too.

Adding a little flare to a casual skirt and sweater is easy. Choose an anklet with bright colors that stand out against dark tights. A coordinated anklet is a lovely way to carry colors across your whole outfit. Be sure to select a style that is less likely to snag on tights. This lovely example is made with rainbow cats eye anklet and is sure to brighten up even the dreariest of winter days.

Wearing red handmade jewelry around the holidays can be a fun way to celebrate the season without going over the top. This is the time to celebrate and have fun, and you want your jewelry to reflect that, but how do you wear it?

You could wear a large statement necklace with vibrant red tones in it, against the backdrop of a little black dress. Pair it with a simple set of earrings and ring and you’re ready to wow your co-workers at the Christmas Party.

Gone is fall, and gone too is the reticence about winter. December is full of holiday cheer, winter outings and cold weather sports.  The air is crisp and clear, the chill invigorating to the soul.  

Just as invigorating is this month's color: winter blue. Nothing sparks up life more than the chill of icy blues.

Delicate Blue

While perfect for a winter wedding's Something Blue, this Classic Sapphire Heart anklet is also just right for the entire season of winter, or for showing off your love of all things icy.  As delicate as a newly fallen snowflake, the cream Charlotte seed beads glisten and complement the beautiful sapphires of your choosing (light, sapphire, or Montana), the sparkling Swarovski crystals, and the perfect snowdrop round pearls in white or cream.

The gift-giving season is fast approaching and it’s always nice to surprise a friend or family member with something you know they’ll cherish forever. This isn’t always easy, and sometimes you can run the risk of gifts becoming repetitious. But there is one gift that will always be unique.

SWCreations, a maker of original handcrafted beaded jewelry, offers a vast selection of beaded anklets, beaded earrings, and designer necklaces – all available with the option to include birthstones specific to those you love.

Give the gift of radiant color and shimmering sparkle this holiday season with beautiful glass-beaded jewelry from Stephanie A. White, jewelry designer and artisan at SWCreations.

Jewelry is a unique gift of the holiday season, and the handcrafted process at SW Creations makes it even more special. Stephanie White uses only the finest glass beads and gemstones from around the world, many of which you won’t find at the disposal of other, more expensive designers.
