A Big October Surprise for Beaders!

For the first time ever, Eureka Crystal Beads, known for monthly releases of stunning bead collections, has released not one but two collections this October! Leading up to the launch, Eureka held a voting campaign asking followers and shoppers to decide on the October Collection: Nature vs City. In the end, beaders told Eureka ‘why not both?’ with an even split in the voting. And that’s just what Eureka decided to do!

Let’s learn a little more about the background of the City Chic and Fairy Gate Collections, now available from Eureka Crystal Beads.

The decision to offer two smaller bead collections this October was a sudden spark of inspiration based on what the public wanted. Eureka did not want to disappoint half the voters and only offer one collection or the other so in the end both City Chic and Fairy Gate became a reality.

The City Chic Beads Collection was inspired by the electrifying experience that brings urban centers to life after the sun sets. The vibrant mix of colors pulls not only from the neons of a nighttime cityscape but also from how a living, breathing metropolis feels. The same heart pounding excitement of being in the thick of where things are really happening is captured by the exhilarating neon pinks and glowy oranges. The collection is grounded by deepest chicest blacks to create a stunning contrast and balance the colors of the collection overall. From the trendy rooftop bars with panoramic skyline views to the intimate speakeasies hidden behind unassuming doors, city nightlife offers a diverse tapestry. This is the essence of this unique and unusual bead collection.

The Fairy Gate Beads Collection was inspired by the magic of enchanting portals that can transport one to a world of whimsy and imagination. These hidden treasures often take the form of intricate, naturally occurring archways or moss-covered doorways nestled amidst lush forests and meadows. They captivate the human spirit, inviting wanderers to step into a realm where magic still lingers. Evoking these soft, natural and magical landscapes, this collection of beads features mossy greens, delicate pinks and lavenders and grounding brass colored findings. Folklore and legend suggest that these mystical gateways serve as pathways for fairies, spirits, and other ethereal beings to move between our world and theirs and this collection is an invitation to let your imagination wander without limit.
