Where the Forest Meets the Dream—Prepare to Be Mesmerized by Our September 2026 Collection

There is a particular kind of magic that lives in the forest; not the dark, foreboding kind, but the warm, golden, late-afternoon kind, where the light filters through the canopy in shifting greens and golds and everything seems to shimmer just slightly more than it should, as if fairies were at work here. That's the world the Magic Iris Collection inhabits, and it is our main Eureka Collection for September 2026.

The palette is a warm, earthy dream: deep greens, khaki and bronze, rich golden hues, and then, a pop of fuchsia pink that adds unique character to this kit. The iris finish that runs through many of the products in this Collection gives everything a living, iridescent quality that shifts and shimmers as you move. It is a palette that looks different in every light, shimmering brightly as the beads and crystals reflect the last evening light.

"The forest floor is soft underfoot, and the air tastes like rain and wet green moss. Light flickers through the canopy in shifting greens and golds, and the dragonflies here move like living jewels, trailing color that changes before you can name it. You feel ancient and weightless all at once, as though you have always lived in this particular moment of elated shimmer and quiet. Ahead, the trees open into something brighter; a secret birthplace of all the world's magical energy. You're almost there, just one more step… and then you wake up, ready to grab your bead tray and pick up where the dream left off."

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

Seed Beads

The seed bead section of this Collection is built around three custom Miyuki mixes—one in each of the three most essential round seed bead sizes—making this one of the most versatile and immediately usable seed bead foundations we've included in a Collection. Add to that Delica beads in a great metallic shade, and a pack of twisted bugles, and you have everything you need for a wide range of beadwork in this palette.

Crystals

The broad crystals section in this Collection includes eight Swarovski crystal stones—a genuinely exciting top quality addition to any Collection—in two beautiful warm colors that feel completely at home in the Magic Iris palette. Alongside them, two new colors of Krakovski Crystal pearls make their appearance: a vivid shiny Magenta Pink and a saturated but soft Satin Bright Olive, both a perfect addition to the overall palette.

Gemstones

Four beautiful natural Golden Tiger's Eye beads round out the bead selection with something genuinely special.

• Golden Tiger's Eye High Grade 10mm Round Polished Gemstone Beads (pack of 4)

Findings

The findings section in this Collection is intentionally lean, but very practical, as it covers everything you need: two clasps and two pairs of ear wires, all in the same warm antique brass finish that ties the whole Collection's earthy, forest-inspired palette together perfectly.

• GleamCraft Ball and Socket Clasp Round 8mm – Antique Brass (1 set)
• Toggle Clasp Large Curly Leaf 25mm – Antique Bronze Plated (1 set)
• Ear Wire Flat French 26mm – Antique Brass Plated (2 pairs)

A Forest Full of Color, a Palette Full of Possibility

The Magic Iris Collection is one of those palettes that reveals itself and lets you fall in love with it slowly; the more you work with it, the more you find, and the more the colors fit together like in a painting. The warm greens, khaki, and bronze provide a rich, earthy foundation; the golden Swarovski stones and Tiger's Eye beads bring warmth and unique shine; and that fuchsia pink, appearing in the Magenta Pink pearls, 6mm Firepolish beads and the Raspberry Iris rondelles, lifts the whole palette into something genuinely unexpected and beautiful. The iris finish that runs throughout gives everything a living quality that photographs cannot fully capture, you simply have to hold these beads in the light and see for yourself. This is a Collection for making pieces that feel like they came from somewhere secret, ancient and slightly magical.

Eureka Collections are never a subscription—you shop whichever ones call to you, when they call to you. And now you have three formats to choose from. Our main Collections launch on the first Thursday of every month; large, themed, and limited. Our LITE Collections drop mid-month on Mondays; smaller, more focused, and more budget-friendly, each one its own complete palette that contrasts and complements the main Collection of the month. And our Foundational Palette Collections offer something different again: focused, versatile palettes designed to stay in stock, endlessly useful, and always available when you need them. Three formats, one mission: to give you the most beautiful, cohesive supplies possible and get out of the way so you can create.
