Color Inspiration: Deep Burgundy Red

Ripe color of cherries, pomegranate, wine... Color of passion and desire, color of love. By choosing deep burgundy red it will add the ripeness and richness to it. Sour cherries, pomegranate, grapes of burgundy, garnet...

Choosing right beads for this is especially tricky. With so many shades of reds the it is still difficult to find red beads with hint of purple. Swarovski Burgundy is the best to describe what I am looking for but to get alternate color in glass...

I made a mix of garnet red adding darker shade of primary color red and metallic copper beads. Preciosa Light Burgundy seconds perfectly for Swarovski Burgundy...

Dark red as the color of autumn fruits has the royal elegance captured in vintage and new glass beads.

Color Inspiration: Chocolate Brown

Brown color is often underestimated. But I think it has many hues and shades... Here I chose the rich and deep brown like the color of dark chocolate. Brown is a composite color and that means it combines all primary colors into one: red, yellow and blue. By changing the amount of each color will give the brown a different look. Creating its character. It's all about balancing the different aspects of life.

Brown is the color of tree bark, color of nature... Also a color of coffee and delicious chocolate. It gives the sense of strength and stability, richness of tastes or features. 
Color Inspiration for jewelry

Vintage Preciosa crystal beads in color of Smoked Topaz is just the perfect color for this! Precise machine cutting will add the reflections as they move.

Adding metallic bronze colored glass beads will add character to other opaque and transparent glass beads.

I chose the color of Smoked Topaz for the rhinestones as well. Here are Swarovski crystals in round and cushion shape. For versatility I'm adding a lighter shade into it as well...

Color Inspiration: Caramel and the Fields of Gold

First this color brought caramel into my mind. The rich taste, you can choose if it's sweet or salty. But when I started to think of the season, then I realized that Autumn is the time of golden fields. Fields that move in the wind like waves in the sea. The color of leaves falling from the trees turn into beige also, reminding us the importance of letting things go when the time is right...

Beige is the color of neutral, calm, relaxing... It has the calculated maturity, acceptance that times will change. I realized that the most glass pearls that I have, are in the shade of caramel...
Selection of beige beads is limited in my bead stash. But I managed to find some round Czech glass beads and a mix. Fortunately I also purchased some vintage rice shaped glass beads from France.


Vintage oval glass stone has a rare color combination. While givre rhinestones are usually transparent glass with pink, blue or white, this one here has the sweetest color of caramel. The silky glass reflects from the folio of the glass stone. Vintage Swarovski navette in Light Smoked Topaz brings the contrast of light and dark, while new Swarovski color Sand Opal has modest glow that doesn't show itself on the first view.
