Natural Harmony

Natural Harmony

The idea of harmonizing all areas of your life � from balancing your innermost mind, body and spirit to being aware of your ecological footprint � is transforming the fashion world. Messages of conservation are seen in the fashion industry � printed on T-shirts, in organic materials and appearing in eco-friendly accessories.

Accessorize in Natural Harmony

Adopt the proverb: "One man�s rubbish is another man�s treasures."

Generally speaking, upcycling is the practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use and value � like jewelry components. Borrow key details from discarded and seemingly out-of-date accessories, fabrics, home d�cor and paper, and rework them into modern jewelry designs using modern beading components.

Take inspiration from the harmony of the earth�s natural colors, balancing cool shades, such as the blues and greens of the oceans, with warm tones, like brown, rust and gold -- mineral-like and earthy.

How to wear the style

Envision the bohemian style as seen on actress Kate Hudson � a carefree spirit with an incredible balance of fashion and eco-awareness. Design with a combination of organic materials and faceted gems or Swarovski® crystals to illustrate the essential beauty of the earth we see in our everyday lives and create a feeling of well-being.

Combine the look of "well-loved" items, like stressed leather and antiqued metals with glistening faceted gemstone beads. Swarovski® crystals and real flowers refresh jewelry with upcycled components, dressing up the style for summer evening wardrobes. Meaningful phrases about global awareness from newspapers or books hidden in glass bottles, dangling from layers of long antiqued plated chain are ideal for a feel-good everyday look, transitioning from day to evening.
