Etsy Roundup – Hip to be Square

July 21st, 2010 Jeri

Oh dear… just typing the title of this post has Huey Louis and the News stuck in my head, if not for the entire day, at least until noon. I’m going to have to Google the lyrics so I can sing more than just the title to myself for a while.

While all shapes of beads are fun and appealing, I love square-shaped beads. The angular shape makes them just a little more wild and funky than their round cousins. Here are some Etsy artists who have incorporated square and rectangular shaped beads into some really fantastic jewelry designs. So while your brain is cuing up a playlist of your favorite 80’s rock tunes, pull out your square beads and see what you’re inspired to create today.

4. Tropical Amazonite Silver Chain Necklace with Fancy Square Knot Links by GemuineCreations

What is your jewelry style? Eclectic. I like mix-and-match elements and an asymmetrical look. I wear lots of neutral-colored clothes so I make jewelry with bright, stand-out colors.

If we looked into your craft closet, what would we see? An avalanche of photography, sewing, beading, card-making and quilting supplies would spill out and bury you alive. I'd take some emergency supplies if I were you.

If you were a mad scientist, what would you invent? Negative-calorie Molten Chocolate Cake.
