All that glitters is not gold-in fact, this season, it's probably beads. Many celebrities are sporting the beautiful beaded jewelry created by designer Maya Brenner, but she insists that you don't have to spend a fortune to create distinctive trendy jewelry.
To spark creativity, she has written "Beaded Jewelry" (DK Publishing, $24.95), a do-it-yourself guide for anyone who loves accessories. According to Brenner, the top trends are:
• Bright white-Look for opaque white-beaded necklaces that can be worn long or layered, or try a short chunky necklace.
• Geometric shapes-Squares, circles, spheres and triangles give every outfit an organic edge.
• Mixed media-Necklaces with wood, seed or woven beads combined with semiprecious stones work with everything.
• Combining metals-Jewelry with gold and silver tones transcend trends.
The full-color book is available where books are sold or visit www.dk.com for more information.
