Beaded Mania with Small Jewellery Businesses in Singapore
The Y2K revival is back in full swing, and beaded jewellery is the accessory trend to make a comeback. Discover three local female-run businesses for your fix of the 2000s-style pieces.
Y2K is making an undeniable comeback in fashion, with low-rise skirts and baby tees for days. But don’t forget the accessories. Turn the nostalgia factor up a notch with the cutest beaded jewellery from the era. Think colourful stacks and kitschy pendants.
With the growing maker culture on TikTok, independent Gen-Z makers are putting their own spin on the trend. We look at three small female-owned Singapore businesses that are breathing new life with their designs.
Visual Jargon
Visual Jargon uses gems and crystals of varying sizes and shapes to create abstract pieces that are sure to make a statement. The brand’s necklaces are handcrafted, with an edgy touch for the cool crowd. Each style plays with a distinct colour theme and shape, underscored by the classic Visual Jargon chunkiness. Despite the size of the crystals and pendants, the creations are lightweight and versatile, perfect as a unique addition to your daily necklace stack.
By Kikyo
By Kikyo is a dainty dream, with their delicate beaded earrings and necklaces built for every soft look. A signature of By Kikyo’s is the colourful transparent beads that are strung together to create intricate pieces worth the keep. As a fresh take on the Y2K trend, the brand’s choice to use clear beads adds a contemporary flair to their different charms and accessories. With their gold jewellery, each bead ties together classic elegance and youthful exuberance.
Peachier Studios

The eclectic pieces come in a variety of sizes and volumes, made from a big range of vibrant beads.

A splash of colour for everyday wear, their crafts spruce up any soft fit with just the right nuance of a fairytale. Peachier Studios also crafts handmade crochet accessories to pair with their beaded items.
