Featured Brand of the Month: Beadelle - Week Four

We have reached our final blog post for July's featured Brand of the Month, Beadelle. This post will focus on our favorite projects. (That's our favorite kind of post!)

Adding splashes of Beadelle Crystal to your jewelry really makes a powerful fashion statement. Pavé beads look absolutely stunning in earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Beadelle clasps and components finish off a piece with sparkling perfection. You can even design your own pendant with Crystal Splash and Crystal Clay to make something truly effervescent. Beadelle can be dressed up or dressed down, offering a glamorous and trendy look for any style--there's no need to wait for a special occasion!

Take a look at our projects page to find some inspiration to help you achieve a luxurious, sophisticated look.

My favorite Beadelle project has to be Karlin's Beachy Bijoux Earrings. Looking like they belong on a lovely lady strolling the streets of Cannes, these earrings are both elegant and fresh. From Beadelle's Resort Collection, Karlin chose a gold plated pave set turquoise bead as their centerpiece, adding the right amount of lux to these beachy earrings.

I think the Faux Amethyst Druzy Ring is such a neat idea.  I love pieces that make me want a second look.  Besides, every girl wants to wear something that makes people look twice.  By combining crystal splash with your favorite color of Crystal Clay you can make this ring in any color.  This project comes together so quickly.  Here is a tip: if you want to buy additional bezel settings you can make more than one to make a set.  A little rocker, a little glam?  Sign me up!

This Black Faux Druzy ring is not only my favorite Beadelle project, but probably one of my favorite projects I've made here at Beadaholique, in general. And like Kat's pick above, it combines Crystal Clay and Crystal Splash to create something eye-catching and even a little edgy and daring. I love the black clay and sparkly crystals paired with the antiqued silver ring. I like this so much, I even made myself a necklace featuring these sparkly crystals!

Featured Brand of the Month: Beadelle - Week Three

This week, we continue to explore the styles of July's Brand of the Month, Beadelle. There are many gorgeous, sparkling styles for you to choose from, allowing you to personalize the crystal accent you add to your jewelry!

The most popular Beadelle style is the Pavé Bead. Beadelle offers crystal pavé beads in round, oval and heart shapes in classic and contemporary colors. A summer time favorite includes the Resort Collection, showcasing a trendy collection of coral and turquoise with silver and gold.

Another way to add a focal to your piece is with Beadelle Crystal clasps and components. They're more than just a simple closure of connector--these findings can also be the star of your finished piece! Pavé toggle clasps, Beadelle Crystal magnetic clasps, connector links, and curved bars are just a few popular choices.

Rhinestone balls, Rondelles, Squaredelles, and Crystal Splash loose crystal assortments are all other ways Beadelle can add glimmering beauty to your designs.

Designer Picks: Clasps and Componets

Megan

I love the gunmetal and crystal pavé toggle clasp - it's so cool and it adds a ton of sparkle to your projects.  Whether you add it to a blinged out bracelet to complete the look or add it to something simple to make it shine, this clasp is so much more than just a clasp!

 Kat

There is something so classic cool about this Beadelle Curved Crystal Bar.  I especially love it in gun metal.  I think the juxtaposition of the dark metal against the crystals gives it that hip edge with just a hint of sparkle.  Add some colorful gemstones on stretch cord for a quick and trendy bracelet. 






 Karlin

If I had to choose a favorite amongst these sparkly clasps and components, I'd go with the Beadelle flat disc connector link in gunmetal/black diamond. Not only is it sleek and stylish, but it features my favorite crystal color: Black Diamond. This pretty piece can be added into your designs quite easily to add that extra bit of shine.

Featured Brand of the Month: Beadelle - Week Two

This week we want to show you some of our favorite beads from Beadelle.  We offer a wide range of colors, as you saw last week.  If you are looking for a bead to add a pop of colorful sparkle to your design then try using a Crystal Pave or Crystal Candy bead.  You'll also be able to find a shape that suits your beading needs.  Choose from round, oval, or heart shaped beads.

Favorite Bead

Julie

My favorite Beadelle bead has to be the Rhinestone Balls. I love the vintage feel of these beads and how they add instant glamour to any design. Someday I want to make a strung necklace that just features these beads graduated from small to large, much like a strung pearl necklace but with these sparkly beauties instead! 




 Megan

The Crystal Candy beads are my favorite Beadelle beads - especially the fuchsia color.  These babies are bold and vibrant, and add so much sparkle!  The fuchsia color really pops and dances in the light.  I love how you can add just one and really make a statement, but I would also love to use multiples to make something dazzling.

Kat

Not only am I in love with all things peridot green, I am in love the way it matches the base clay color on this particular bead.  It is the perfect shade of candy apple green, which is fitting because this is one of the Crystal Candy beads.  In these beads the color of the base clay matches is made to match the color of the crystal.  I love these beads because they look like a little ball of sparkles due to the matching colors of the clay and the crystals.

Karlin

If I had to choose a favorite amongst these sparkly, glittery Beadelle beads, I would go with the gunmetal plated and black diamond combination. This bead offer a subtle type of sparkle; you can play it up by adding other beads in brighter colors or allow it to shine by pairing it with gunmetal chain and findings for an edgy, cool look.

Featured Brand of the Month: Beadelle

We are excited to announce that our brand of the month for July is Beadelle.  This month we will focus on highlighting all of the wonderful crystal beads and components that Beadelle offers. These hand-set crystal beads have a sophistication and elegance that you will be dying to use to accent your designs.

Known for their pave crystal beads, Beadelle brings you the popular look of a pave diamond bead at a very affordable price.  The brilliance of their pieces shines from every angle.  I find that because of this, they are very easy to implement into my designs.  They speak for themselves and when put together they create a luxurious, high fashion look.






With so many colorful choices it can be hard to pick a favorite and when it comes to Beadelle, the base color of the metal is just as important as the crystal color.  Look at these two oval pave beads.  They both feature the same light rose crystal but by changing the base metal color from gold to silver, you really change the whole feel of the bead and in turn, your design.

A classic use of the Beadelle Beads can be seen here in the making of the popular Shambhala style bracelet.  This is the first video in a series that will show you how to incorporate Beadelle beads into your macrame designs.  In this bracelet you can mix and match the various color combinations offered by Beadelle to suit your creativity.


Designer Picks:
Favorite Color Combination


Julie

My favorite Beadelle color combination has to be the turquoise stones paired with the gold metal. I love the resort feel these beads invoke and their understated elegance. I would like to see these beads paired with some coral accents and gold chain for a true summer resort look. 





Kat

My favorite combination is the Silver Plated and Coral Beads from the Resort Collection.  This is a classic summer color, especially when used with it's very close friend, turquoise. The silver allows the brightness of the coral to pop in this bead.  I also love this bead because the small silver like beads on the outside make it seem like it is something you plucked out of the sea.

Karlin

Looking through all of the pretty pave beads offered by Beadelle, I'd have to say that my favorite color combination is from their Chocolate Collection. Although I'm usually not a fan of the color brown, I think that when paired with the Light Topaz, these sparkly chocolate brown pave beads look rather yummy! You can see this bead featured in my Glamorous Starfish earrings.
