Beads and Jewellery Making Swarovski Pearl Beads

Boho Chic Indian Style Necklace

• Kerri

The Bohemian look or ‘Boho Chic’ as it is also known has hit the high street for Summer 2013. This look celebrates warm colours and layering, vibrant shades with an earthy rustic feel; a nostalgic nod to the 1960’s and 70’s, Flower Power, Free Love and flowers in your hair!!!


To replicate this look in jewellery, the Indian hand painted glass beads and the Venetian glass, work perfectly, giving the piece a rustic earthy looking style. The use of bold colours combined with gold or copper findings and a large cluster of bells help create an ethnic Indian feel.

To achieve this look successfully, total freedom is the key; no restrictions, no fixed patterns, just allow your creative juices to flow.

I really enjoyed making this piece, and I was especially pleased how the gold complimented the glass beads so well.

The Boho Chic look has so many different avenues to explore and the freedom it gives you is a breath of fresh air. So let’s get Bold, let’s get Brash, and allow those Bright vivid colours to give you the confidence to create something amazing for yourself!

Do you like this style? Have you made any Boho Chic jewellery?
