What's in the Vintage Dreams Beads Collection?

In the heart of winter, when the world feels quiet and monochromatic, we dreamed up something bold, bright, and unapologetically joyful—the Vintage Dreams Collection. This collection captures a feeling rather than an era. It’s a celebration of rich, saturated hues, sparkling accents, and playful nostalgia—a blend of retro charm and timeless elegance.

The wind in your hair, your favorite beat echoing in your ears, and a sunset ablaze with color stretching across the horizon. It’s a nostalgic daydream where all the retro decades collide—vivid colors, bold shapes, and unapologetic saturation. A celebration of carefree moments and living life to its fullest, wrapped in the vibrant charm of yesterday’s style.

But where did this journey start? A few months ago, we introduced the new ELITE Eureka Crystal stone colors—Orchid Ignite, Pine Green Ignite, and Mango Ignite—and on our Facebook and Instagram, beaders began asking, "When will these beauties get their own collection?" Well, we listened. And we didn't stop there. We paired them with a curated mix of seed beads, Czech glass treasures, dazzling PRECIOSA bicones, and high-quality findings, all carefully selected to complement these vibrant stones and help you write a beautiful beaded story!

So buckle up—let’s take a tour of Vintage Dreams and explore what makes this collection so special!

A Kaleidoscope of Seed Beads

No collection is complete without the tiny yet mighty seed bead! In Vintage Dreams, we included 6 tubes filled with creative possibilities:

• 4 tubes of TOHO beads (including rounds in three sizes and a tube of TOHO Treasures);
• 1 custom Miyuki mix featuring 11/0s, 15/0s, and 3mm Bugle beads;
• 1 tube of Miyuki 11/0s with a Czech Sliperit coating, the only darker bead in this assortment;

With this variety, the possibilities are endless—layered bead embroidery, delicate stitches, and bold geometric patterns are all within your reach.

Czech Glass Magic

Adding texture and variety, we’ve selected some Czech glass staples to make your designs shine:

• Firepolish beads in 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm sizes, including a beautiful strand in shiny silver;
• 2-hole Cabochon beads—perfect for structural designs;
• SuperDuo beads for versatile shapes and patterns, and no collection is complete without a Duo;
• Ring Beads in shiny silver, ideal for embellishments and a fine-jewelry look

These beads bring depth and texture, adding dimension to both simple and intricate designs.

ELITE Eureka Crystal Stones in Brand New Colors

The stars of the show are undoubtedly the 7 ELITE Eureka Crystal stones in the dazzling Ignite colors:

• Orchid Ignite (vivid magenta pink);
• Pine Green Ignite (cool emerald green);
• Mango Ignite (warm, zesty orange).

We’ve decided to compose this set with beaders’ favorite shapes:

• 1 large oval stone;
• 2 round 12mm Rivoli stones;
• 4 chatons (8mm).

The Ignite effect gives these stones a mesmerizing quality: it’s not a coating, but rather infused sparkles and a bluish shine that highlight the richness of their colors without overpowering them, especially paired with the colored foil back. Whether as statement focal pieces or subtle accents, these stones are pure magic.

PRECIOSA Crystal Bicone Mix

When it comes to sparkle, PRECIOSA crystal bicones are certainly one of our top choices. In the Vintage Dreams Collection, you’ll find a mix of 72 bicones in various finishes, including your classic transparent look, ABfor a rainbow shine, and Matte for a modern twist They’re the perfect finishing touch, adding a refined elegance to your designs, and a staple which all beaders adore.

Shiny Silver Findings

No project is complete without findings, and this collection delivers in style. We got inspired by the chrome detail on the vintage car in the inspo picture and focused on shiny silver findings. In the collection, you’ll find:

• A sleek minimalist magnetic clasp—perfect for securing necklaces or bracelets;
• A sliding bar clasp, ideal for peyote stitch or loom bracelets;
• 5 adorable mini charms with blue zircon rhinestones;
• A pack of 4mm jump rings and a pair of simple classy ear wires.

These findings strike the perfect balance between functionality and beauty, seamlessly blending into your beaded designs.
