This summer is one for bead jewellery. From pretty pink pearls to cute clay beads, whether it’s necklaces, anklets, or phone accessories. Beading, which started off as a quarantine hobby, has now turned into a full-blown accessory aesthetic.
Think island gyals lounging by the pool, coming back tanned from Mykonos, or stunting at a festival. Any of these girlies would be rocking beaded jewellery 💅🏽.
