What's in the Love Spell Collection LITE?

Dark, Dramatic, and Utterly Irresistible—Our May 2026 LITE Collection Is Here

The Love Spell Collection LITE is our mid-May 2026 LITE Collection, and it is unapologetically dramatic! Deep reds, reddish purples, rich burgundy, velvet black, and antique bronze: this is a palette that makes a statement before you've even threaded your needle. It's romantic and mysterious in equal measure, with a richness to every bead and stone that feels almost cinematic.

The inspiration photo says it all: a woman—perhaps a sorceress—in a stunning deep red gown, holding a golden box from which something magical is escaping. The mood is glamorous, a little mysterious, and absolutely captivating. We wanted the Collection to feel magical without feeling dark; thrilling without feeling heavy. Did we get it right?

"Close your eyes and think of the most thrilling moment just before something wonderful begins. That feeling—somewhere between a secret and a celebration, between anticipation and delight—has a way of coloring your whole world once it takes hold. A color that stops you in your tracks. A design that insists on being made. An evening that turns, without warning, into something you won't forget."

Now let's take a look at what's inside!

Seed Beads

The seed bead section here is compact—just two products—but don't let that fool you. The star of the section is a generous 20g custom mix that covers just enough sizes and shapes you might need for a wide range of beadwork, making it a surprisingly versatile foundation for the whole Collection.

Included seed beads:

Miyuki Assorted Seed Beads – Love Spell Mix (20g bag)
Miyuki DELICA 11/0 Seed Beads – Matte Black (5g bag)

The Love Spell Mix is a carefully assembled selection of sizes and shapes: two colors of 15/0s (shiny black and bronze), two colors of 11/0s (deep opaque chocolate brown and bronze—perfect for a peyote bezel in just those two), two colors of 8/0s (silver-lined amethyst and matte black), and a 3mm bugle bead in a gorgeous opalescent metallic raspberry purple that is genuinely one of the prettiest things in the whole Collection. Twenty grams is a lot to work with, and the variety within the mix means it will serve you across many different projects. The Matte Black Delicas round out the seed bead section as a clean, versatile base for any peyote and brick stitch element you want to make.

Czech Glass

The Czech glass section brings four products: three sizes of FirePolish beads and one very interesting shape that might be new to some of you—the Nib-Bit, a two-hole bead with a beautifully unusual silhouette and a stunning finish.

Included Czech glass beads:

FirePolish 2mm Czech Glass Beads – Saturated Metallic Ceylon Yellow (strand of 50)
FirePolish 3mm Czech Glass Beads – Luster Metallic Amethyst (strand of 50)
FirePolish 6mm Czech Glass Beads – Garnet (strand of 25)
2-Hole Nib-Bit 6x5mm Czech Glass Beads – Siam Ruby Vega (2.5" tube)

The 2mm Ceylon Yellow FirePolish beads are a warm antique gold addition that fits the Collection's bronze accents perfectly. The 3mm Luster Metallic Amethyst are a beautiful, rich purple, and the 6mm Garnet beads are a deep, dark red that is just barely translucent. The Nib-Bit in Siam Ruby Vega is the real standout of this section: the Vega finish gives the bead a sheer, semi-metallic quality over a deep red glass.

Crystals

The crystal section is where this Collection truly shines. A beautiful, cohesive composition of Krakovski Crystal stones in two colors, a brand new Krakovski Crystal pearl color making its debut, a recently released Preciosa bicone color, and a strand of deep red rondelles make this one of the most impressive crystal sections we've put together for a LITE Collection.

Included crystals:

Krakovski Crystal Chaton 8mm – Black Diamond 1088 (x4)
Krakovski Crystal Rivoli 14mm – Siam (x2)
Krakovski Crystal Octagon Stone 13x18mm – Siam (x2)
Krakovski Crystal Octagon Stone 27x18mm – Siam (x1)
Krakovski Crystal Round Pearls 4mm – Dark Wine (strand of 100)
Preciosa Crystal Bicone Beads 3mm – Vivid Siam (pack of 48)
Chinese Crystal Rondelle Beads 4x3.5mm – Opaque Wine Red (strand)

The stones are a proper Siam—dark, rich, and full of soul, as a good Siam should be. The centerpiece is the magnificent 27x18mm octagon stone, a show-stopping focal piece for a pendant or necklace centerpiece. Alongside it, two smaller 13x18mm octagons and two 14mm rivolis give you plenty to work with, and four Black Diamond chatons add a moody, dark contrast that feels completely at home in this palette. The Krakovski Crystal Dark Wine pearls are brand new, and the moment you see them, you'll understand why we saved their debut for this Collection. The Preciosa Vivid Siam bicones are a recently released color, dark and saturated, and the Opaque Wine Red rondelles close this section with a bold opaque faceted look.

Findings

Every finding in this Collection shares the same antique brass finish—warm, rich, and aged in a way that ties the whole Collection's aesthetic together beautifully. The selection is small but thoughtfully chosen, with a few genuinely special pieces in the mix.

Included findings:

While the ear wires are an elegant staple, the lobster clasp is a clean and functional closure choice, and the pack of small jump rings gives you practical flexibility for adjusting length and attaching clasps, there are two standouts in this section really reflecting the Collection’s character: the TierraCast enameled cherry blossom button in deep red enamel on antique brass, and the large 20mm decorative twisted rope closed ring. The button is an absolutely gorgeous piece that could easily become a focal element in its own right, and the ring is a perfect beading base or a decorative frame. We already have ideas forthese, and we think you will too.

Dark, Rich, and Ready to Become Something Extraordinary

The Love Spell Collection LITE is a palette for those who love their jewelry dramatic, rich, and a little mysterious. Deep reds, reddish purples, velvet black, and antique bronze make for a combination that is both timeless and striking: the kind of palette that produces pieces you reach for again and again. The crystal stones are exceptional, the brand new Krakovski Dark Wine pearls are an instant favorite, and the Nib-Bits and TierraCast button bring unexpected creative possibilities that make this Collection feel truly unique. This is a palette that can go dark and moody or warm and romantic depending on how you use it, and either direction is going to be stunning.

Eureka Collections are never a subscription—you shop whichever ones speak to you, when they speak to you. In addition to our main monthly Collections, we release LITE Collections on Mondays around the middle of each month: smaller, more focused, and more budget-friendly, each one contrasting and complementing the month's main Collection while standing completely on its own. Each month brings two Collections, two complete creative worlds, one very happy bead tray.
