Trends that run through Ashnorr jewellery include grouping several strands of beads to create patterns and points of interest like clusters of fruits as seen in the picture below. I haven’t always been a fun of the colour red until I learnt about personal colour theory and how it applies to how we dress. I found out there is a red colour to suit everyone. It’s only a matter of choosing the right shade. Psychologically, red is an extra energy booster especially when worn close to the face. Since Ashnorr is also about giving you that extra energized and healthy look you’ll find lots of red accents in there. In Ashnorr, even when very dark colours are used there are brighter components that give you a brighter overall look. No boring colours to dull your shine. Polka dots and stripes of varying sizes, widths, shapes and colours continues to remain the trend in traditional Krobo bead design, so you’ll be seeing a lot more variations used in Ashnorr.

AYB00 AYB000 AYB001 AYB002 AYB003 AYB004 AYB005 Bead bracelets can be worn in several ways. The current trend is to pile several bracelets on one arm. Those with long arms can pile on four or more bracelets to create the illusion of a shorter arm. If you have short arms, pile on thin and narrow bracelets to avoid making your arms look shorter than they really are.

When the large bead style came into vogue I remember seeing large bead chokers adorning ladies who had short necks. This only creates the illusion of a shorter neck. Large bead necklaces are best worn by those who have long necks and want them to look shorter and more proportionate to their figure. Those with short necks look best in medium sized chokers or better still in longer large bead necklaces.

I love to restyle or redesign my already existing clothes so I can wear them again. It’s fun knowing that I can wear my clothes in many different ways just by restyling. That’s when I realized the potential accessories present. The right choice of accessories does the same thing that restyling does for my clothes and that is creating a different look. Accessorizing your clothes using bead jewellery are additional ways to give your old clothes a new look without having to spend a fortune on new clothes.

I was inspired by the fruity and warmer colours of nature to put together these necklaces. The larger beads are a mixture of Krobo powder glass beads and western glass beads with a bold ceramic bead pendant. They are interspersed with Czech seed beads that very much resemble clusters of fruits. This is a detail used in different ways in most of our designs.
