The Plot Twist Collection: A Story in Beads

Every great story has that moment—the one that makes you gasp, sit up straighter, and flip through the pages faster. That’s the feeling behind our September 2025 Beads Collection: Plot Twist. Inspired by the cozy charm of curling up with a book, this palette weaves together ivory beige, soft brown, and antique bronze with unexpected accents of rusty copper orange, lavender purple, and olivine green. It’s warm and classic, yet with flashes of surprise—just like a good plot twist should be.

You’re deep in a story, and suddenly—BAM!—the plot flips on its head. A quiet moment explodes into action, a secret unravels, a character you thought you knew does something wild and brilliant. Every word feels alive, every detail suddenly charged with possibility, and the pages seem to turn faster on their own—nothing is going the way you expected, and it’s glorious.

What's Inside

Seed Beads

The seed bead assortment in this collection is both practical and inspiring. You’ll find a perfect balance of TOHO and Miyuki beads, giving you the reliable quality you love plus a touch of creative flair. The two tubes of TOHO Rounds in the same PermaFinish Matte Galvanized Aluminium shade create an ideal neutral base, while the Miyukis add extra accent colors, texture, and variety. Here's the combo:

Toho 11/0 Round Seed Beads in PermaFinish Matte Galvanized Aluminium (2.5" tube)
Toho 8/0 Round Seed Beads in PermaFinish Matte Galvanized Aluminium (2.5" tube)

Crystals

Crystals bring sparkle and drama to this collection, with bold focal fancy stones and shimmering chaton accents. The 16mm Krakovski Rivolis in Crystal Satin by ELITE are a standout size, rarely seen and perfect for statement designs. Their soft glow pairs beautifully with the earthy Krakovski Smoked Topaz 12mm Rivoli and the beautiful Tanzanite chatons (so much prettier in person!), while two colors of Krakovski pearls and Preciosa bicones in the stunning Crystal Venus color add elegance and sparkle.
