Modern Beads

Now that we’ve strolled down memory lane and taken a quick look at vintage beads, beads no longer in production, where do beads fit into today’s jewelry scene? They’re everywhere you look from casual chokers and necklaces to fine Swarovski Austrian crystal designs.

Think beyond a single strand of beads. Start by thinking of a single strand of beads from which a pendant dangles. From there, think pins—yes, pins adorned with beads, beaded bracelets, barrettes, earrings, etc. In fact, think beyond jewelry to purses and other accessories. If you look closely at your surroundings, you’ll find beads everywhere.

The Many Faces of Beads

Another thing that you might rethink is composition and shape of beads. Today’s beads come in a myriad of shapes and materials, with Austrian crystal topping list. Today’s look du jour of transparent, translucent and iridescent beads don bodies of rich and famous along with everyday mortals. Venetian glass beads often encapsulate swirls within beads for a unique, timeless quality.

The latest in fashion trends includes little beaded silk purses. While you wouldn’t want to cover yourself in head-to-toe beads unless you’re auditioning for a singing gig in Nashville, a silk beaded purse with a complementary beaded necklace turns an ordinary evening outfit into a walking work of art.

Open your eyes and look for one-of-a-kind, handmade beaded jewelry. It’s everywhere, and it’s calling your name.

The reality is that because this style of boot is just so popular and product seems to literally fly off shelf, discount ugg boots may be difficult to locate, even on Internet. From a retailer’s point of view, it does not make good financial sense to discount price of a product that is easily and continuously selling at full retail price. With fall season in full swing and holiday season right around corner, this style of boot likely will continue its brisk selling pace making discounts difficult to locate.

Eventually, however, stores will begin to discount their prices in an effort to draw consumers into their stores and encourage them to make purchases. If you are patient and are willing to take time to research Internet and other retail outlets, you will eventually be able to find a pair of discount ugg boots that fit your needs, and your feet and won’t cause too much damage to your wallet.

Just be aware that market is quickly flooding with lower quality imitations of this boot style. You may find that some discount ugg boots are not made from pure Australian sheep skin. These boots will likely look pretty close to real thing, but your feet will know difference.
