 A Sweet Tooth Summer 

by Jamie Smedley, Marketing Content Development Group, Exclusively for Fire Mountain Gems and Beads®


The days of summer are brimming with juicy jewelry designs and accessories inspired by a mouthwatering parade of sweets and confections. Design a collection of sweet things using candy-colored glass, sparkling crystals, whipped cream white accents and cherry-on-top red gemstones. Let your sweet tooth be your guide to design calorie-free treats resembling miniature cakes, candies, ice cream cones and sugared fruit.

Key inspirations to create your sugar-filled creations:
  • Glazed donuts and cookies
  • Layered cakes and cupcakes
  • Ice cream cones
  • Jelly beans and lollipops


  • Frosting and whipped cream
  • Tarts and pies
  • Strawberry shortcake
  • Chocolate and more!
Make playful pastry-inspired designs such as hair accessories, necklaces, rings, brooches and earrings and sweeten up bags, clothing and shoes with a sprinkling of sugary beads and glittering SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS.
