  What’s Your Style?
Jewelry and accessories are a personal expression. Jewelry can be used to express a mood, tell the world about your personality – or express just how you are feeling on that particular day. None of us have the same look every day – though we tend to have a particular signature look. This series of Beads Baubles and Jewels is all about personal style – discovering your style and exploring some different options. Each program includes: 2 feature pieces, Beading lessons, Fashion focus – sample creations for inspiration; and a guest artisan.

Last up, Iliana Mc Grath incorporates cinnabar into an Asian inspired necklace.

403 Classic Style
It never goes out of style and it’s as perfect with jeans as it is with a little black dress. Mindy Brooks has our first design – Pearls are always a classic – but using right angle weave it’s also a very dramatic cuff. Beading lesson - assembling your jewelry tool box with the right tools. Iliana McGrath uses pearls in unique colors for a tiered necklace. Fashion Focus - classically styled pieces in some new materials. Last up Arbel Shemesh is our special guest – with a lesson on jade - a truly classic stone.
404 Traditional
This style usually revolves around gold and silver and pearls. Traditional and classic are very similar with an understated look. Another key to traditional is standard jewelry types like chokers and opera length. First is Mindy Brooks, she is creating a very traditional jewelry style – a chandelier earring and gold is the feature color – but what’s different is the addition of red. Beading lesson - all about stretchy cord. Then its Arbel Shemesh – the color is traditional with silver and pearls but the links are actually chain. Fashion focus - memorable designs all in a traditional style. Last up – what could be more traditional than the dazzle of Swarovski crystals.
405 European influence
Timeless, traditional, old world – these are some of the words to describe European jewelry design – plus don’t forget Czech glass and Swarovski – two trademarks of this style. Debba Hauppert is first featuring Swarovski crystal for a dramatic and elegant look. Beading lesson: setting up your work table. Mindy Brooks –with an elegant cocktail ring – the epitome of style.

407 Simple Style
Simple techniques, simple design. This is a case when less is more; understated jewelry to complement a showy outfit. Simple as a style has clean lines and limited components plus it may be easy to create. First is Linda Augsburg with a flower bracelet that is simple to make but has a very complex look. Beading lesson - finishing leather and suede. Tammy Honaman presents a peyote ring – peyote stitch would be considered intricate – but the design is very simplistic.

408 Geometric and Linear style
This style revolves around standard shapes – most often we think of squares and triangles – but circles too – this jewelry tends to have a repetitive shape within the components or an overall shape. First Arbel Shemesh chose circles for a fascinating project using lazer lace – a finding used in a new way. Beading lesson - making your own jump ring and clasp. Linda Augsburg goes linear with a stem pin – that’s geometric and contemporary too. Fashion focus - geometric and linear designs.
