Blue - Still Our Top-Selling Bead Colour
For jewellery, blue remains very popular - a cool laid-back colour.

New-agers say blue is a powerful antiseptic linked to the throat charka - cooling inflammation, fever, and high blood pressure. It represents peace and tranquillity, truth, wisdom, justice, femininity and rest. The colour of the sea and sky, and used by disciplined career workers with a clear direction in life.

Pastel cool colours suit summer-people with light hair, blue eyes and pale skin best, but also look refreshing on everyone. Some of this summer’s hottest blues are Placid Blue, Violet Tulip, Paloma and Dazzling Blue.

Add some pastel and navy blue beads to your next jewellery design. We have many semi-precious blue beads: like blue agates, quartz, aquamarines, aventurine, amazonite, jade, pearl, chalcedony, turquoise and lapis.

Other Colour Trends
We've also noticed increased sales in grey, and especially matt grey and black beads. These are already very-popular in the US, and the trend is moving over to Britain.

A matt finish, rather than glossy, gives a sophisticated, classy look. We already have quite a few matt beads, but most are only available at our UK bead fairs.  However, on our next buying trip in July, we'll be getting more to add to the MrBead online store - check late July.

To see our blue beads, simply key BLUE in our Search Box at MrBead.co.uk or MrBead.com. 

Most of our matt beads online are in the Agate category.
