OhioBeads.com Supplies Solutions for 3 Emerging Indie Jewelry Trends

Maineville (Cincinnati), Ohio – - November 6, 2007

Do you know 3 jewelry trends for Fall/Winter Indie Jewelry market?

OhioBeads.com claims that three emerging jewelry trends include:
•    Plated and base metals
•    Medallions/focal points
•    Darker winter colors

Trend #1

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) jewelry-makers look to less costly plated and base metals.  With silver and old up 200 percent over four year, higher priced jewelry-making supplies drive jewelry makers to look at components in gold-plate, silver-plate, brass, copper and other metals.  InStyle Magazine’s Fall 2007 jewelry trends show goods in gold- and silver-plate, brass, steel, and enameled brass.

Trend #2

Beth Braverman’s October 1 NationalJewelerNetwork.com article “Fall Fashion Has Arrived” notes that fabrics for Fall 2007 call for heavy chains and medallions, noting that “small,personalized pendants continue to hold sway.”

Trend #3

According to suite101™, “Gray is the new black…still.  But don’t forget about black.”  The antone Fashion Color Report Fall 2007 also projects colors that are muted versions of gemmy colors.

OhioBeads.com Solutions for Jewelry-Making Trends

OhioBeads.com President Cynthia Brandon states, “We feel that OhioBeads.com is developing a strong program to meet jewelry trends for Fall/Winter 2007-2008 and beyond.” 

Responding to trends toward non-precious metals, OhioBeads.com supplies over 100 bulk jewelry chains with finishes in gunmetal, bright and antique copper, raw and antique brass, silver- and gold-plate, nickel and white nickel.  OhioBeads.com also supplies sterling and gold-filled chains.  Jewelry chain gives a foundation for clean designs, allowing layering without looking sloppy.  OhioBeads.com also supplies jewelry findings to match most chain styles.

OhioBeads.com sources new charms and filigrees, now with Antique Copper finishes; additional finishes are still being developed.   Crosses, medallions and shields serve as larger focal pieces while fleur-de-lis, puffed hearts and other charms fill the need for smaller pendants.  Other centerpieces include antique silver plated lockets, oxidized to look old.  Lockets tie in personalization (keeping photos of loved ones near), nostalgia (wearing jewelry like a great-grandmother might have worn) and altered art (embellishing familiar components with miniature works of art)

For Fall clothing in grays and blacks, gunmetal chains are logical accessories, with sparkly gold-filled and sterling chains for special events.  Raw and antique brass chains include yellow-green, gold, golden brown and green-brown.  Antique copper ranges from rosy pink to red-brown.  Both chain types coordinate well with Pantone’s color palette.

Ohio Gems, Inc., parent company of OhioBeads.com, has brought quality beading and jewelry-making components to the offline Indie Jewelry market in metro Cincinnati, Ohio since 2002.
