by Jeanne Holland July 02, 2025

Enter into an era of bold and whimsical designs with this trend-inspired design inspiration. Collection of Trinkets focuses on 4 main trends with a few more sprinkled in. Bold beading, charms, pearls and kitschy designs all made their way down the runway as major trends in jewelry for 2025 Spring/Summer. As a designer, you can take these trends individually or combine them as seen in our design inspiration below; let this trend board allow you to spread your wings and design amazing new pieces that are relevant, fun and inspiring! Check out the live demo here.

 

 

These designs feature African Recycled Glass, Czech Matte Glass, Artist Ceramic Beads, Freshwater Pearls, Natural Golden Citrine and more charms from Lima Beads as well as plenty of charms, components and, of course, 1-Step Antique from Vintaj! You can find links to the components if you scroll to the bottom!

 


Starting off strong with this eclectic statement necklace, this design is pulled together with a unique assortment of beads and charms. It features mixed metals (yes, another trend from the runway), large bold bead combinations, asymmetry and lots and lots of charms. Several of the charms feature antiquing using 1-Step Antique

 


The Dancing Fish pendant features Teal Blue and Sepia Brown 1-Step Antique, and even the Mother of Pearl Carved Leaf pendant had Sepia Brown brushed in as well! You’ll notice many more of the charms are also antiqued. Each section of the necklace can be strung with Roped Chain or Leather Cord; these sections are finished off with a wire wrapping technique shown in the LIVE video.

 


This easily strung bracelet uses 20ga Natural Brass wire and is finished off with a simple wrapped loop.  Just slide on your components and finish the ends. Play with different bead orders and combinations to make it your own, and don’t be afraid to add some of the Iridescent Antiques to the beads for a little extra shine! 

 


These asymmetrical earrings showcase interest and balance, allowing them to be easily worn by the average individual. They feature hand-hammered components, iridescent on the beads and Sepia Brown as well as Crimson Red Antique brushed into the Flower components. The simplicity of the design allows for easy construction.
