8 Fall 2024 Fashion Trends That WIll Rock Your Beaded Jewelry

As the Fall 2024 fashion trends make their way from the runway to our everyday looks, jewelry makers and beaders have a unique opportunity to incorporate some of this season’s hottest trends into their creations. Curious what the fashion world has to offer this year? Here's 8 hottest fashion trends of this season & how you can translate them into your jewelry designs!

Dark Brown: This rich, earthy tone is a safe staple for the season, adding warmth and depth to any outfit. In jewelry, smoked topaz and amber crystals and deep brown glass beads can create a grounded and sophisticated look. Pairing dark brown with gold or bronze/brass metal accents will give your pieces a timeless elegance or even a slightly vintage look.

Burgundy: A classic fall color, burgundy offers a sense of luxury and richness. Use it as an accent color or build an entire piece with burgundy in the lead. This hue pairs beautifully with metallics like gold and silver for an elegant look, and with fall palettes like orange and green for a classy autumn vibe.

Green: From deep emerald to olive, green is the color of renewal this season. Don’t shy away from bright and vibrant shades such as lime green or neon green to brighten up your outfit this fall. Use green natural stones such as unakite or green aventurine, crystal stones in emerald, peridot or majestic green as focal points, or add green seed beads & crystal beads as subtle accents to bring a fresh, natural quality to your jewelry.

Neutral Tones: Soft, neutral tones like beige, cream, and dove grey bring a sense of calm and sophistication, and designers are coming back to them yet again this fall. In jewelry, neutral-colored beads, pearls, or matte metallic colors can create versatile pieces that easily complement any outfit and can be worn for special occasions as well as elevate your everyday look.

Silk and Lace: The delicate textures of silk and lace translate beautifully into intricate beaded designs. This is the time to shine for all lovers of netted patterns and openwork beading. Consider adding silk ribbon as an element in your netted and lightweight necklaces and bracelets for a touch of femininity and grace.

Mesh and Sheer Fabrics: Sheer fabrics inspire airy, lightweight jewelry. This trend gives transparent beads and unfoiled stones an opportunity for a well-deserved comeback! Think about incorporating transparent beads into your work or even create entire translucent pieces that mimic the ethereal quality of mesh and sheer materials, adding a layer of intrigue and delicacy. Play with different finishes (e.g. shiny, AB and matte or frosted) for even more incredible and innovative results.

Feathers: Feather embellishments are perfect for adding drama and movement to your jewelry, but they are very delicate and easy to damage, especially in the fall weather. Expand on the feather trend by making beaded feathers, instead!

Fringe: Fringe adds movement and a bohemian vibe, and beaders have been using it in beaded jewelry forever! This season, go with the flow and let the fringe craze rule your beaded pieces.Like to experiment? Try making fringe with something other than seed beads!

By tapping into these exciting Fall 2024 trends, you can create jewelry that not only is super fashionable and captures the essence of the season, but also showcases your unique style and creativity. Whether you're drawn to the rich colors, luxurious textures, or playful details, these trends offer endless possibilities to make your jewelry designs shine and stand out all season long and beyond.
