Jewellers are increasingly incorporating non-traditional materials such as glass, wood and beads into their designs, reflecting a stronger emphasis on creativity, self-expression and sustainability.

From the playful charm of colourful beads to the earthy allure of wood, unconventional options create a distinctive aesthetic that resonates with those seeking unique and chic styles.

Among the best sellers of US-based fashion jewellery brand Lizzie Fortunato is its Laguna necklace. According to the company, this statement piece features recycled glass beads ethically sourced from Ghana, Africa.   

Meanwhile, the Two World Collection of Danish jeweller Kinraden features earrings, bangles and rings made from recycled sterling silver and embellished with Mpingo black wood inserts, resulting in captivating striped designs.

More fashion-forward designs and materials are set to captivate professional trade buyers at the upcoming SEASONS | Spring Fashion Jewellery & Accessories Fair 2025 scheduled for March 3 to 6, 2025 at the AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. 

Floreia by Nature’s Legacy Eximport Inc will showcase its visually striking collection that is both stylish and sustainable. The company embodies an eco-luxe aesthetic, combining its patented Nucast composite paper with the finest Filipino craftsmanship to create innovative designs. 

Sunfun Trading Company, for its part, will display its wide range of bracelets, necklaces and earrings made of natural stone and multicolour glass beads in a variety of base metals such as brass and stainless steel.
