The boho style has something special: it's free, warm, full of texture and personality. And few things capture it as well as a bracelet or necklace made with Miyuki Rocaille beads. Their rounded shape, variety of finishes, and rich color palette make them the ideal material for creating jewelry with that artisanal and natural feel that defines the boho aesthetic.
At Solkalo, we have a selection of Rocaille beads and kits specifically designed for this style. Here, we'll tell you what they are and how to combine them.
What makes Miyuki Rocaille beads perfect for boho style?
Miyuki Rocaille 11/0 are round beads with a uniform finish and a wide variety of colors and surface treatments. For boho style, the best finishes are:
- Matte: gives an earthy, natural look without artificial shine. Perfect for earth and green palettes.
- Picasso: artisanal finish with irregular nuances that mimic stone or ceramic. Very characteristic of the boho style.
- Opaque: solid and deep colors, ideal for creating contrast in the composition.
- Metallic: bronzes, golds, and coppers that add warmth and that vintage touch so characteristic of boho.
Boho color palette with Miyuki Rocaille beads
The key to boho style lies in the colors: earth, amber, terracotta, moss green, burgundy, mustard, and cream. Combined with touches of bronze or copper, they create warm pieces with a lot of personality.
The Miyuki Rocaille 11/0 Earth & Boho Colors Kit | 7 Colors + Thread + Needles is our top recommendation for this style: it includes a selection of perfectly coordinated shades in the boho palette, plus thread and needles to get started right away. It's the ideal starting point.
If you prefer to build your own palette with individual Rocaille beads, the Miyuki Rocaille 11/0 11-4511 Opaque Picasso Black is a must-have: this black with a Picasso finish adds depth and contrast to any boho composition. The Miyuki Rocaille 11/0 11-4514 Opaque Picasso Turquoise Blue adds that touch of turquoise color so characteristic of ethnic and boho jewelry.
Boho jewelry ideas with Rocaille beads
Stacked bracelets
One of the most boho trends is wearing several thin bracelets together, each in a different color or finish but within the same palette. With Rocaille beads in earthy, matte, and metallic tones, you can create a set of 3 to 5 bracelets that complement each other perfectly. The Miyuki Rocaille 11/0 Metallic & Grey Kit | Gunmetal, Silver and Gold is perfect for metallic accent bracelets within the set.
Long necklaces with mixed beads
Boho necklaces are usually long and have an irregular rhythm: groups of beads of one color alternated with another, or combinations of Rocaille beads with other elements. The Miyuki Rocaille 11/0 11-0401FR Opaque Matte AB Black is a very versatile bead for this type of design: the AB finish on matte black gives it a very special subtle shimmer.
Ethnic earrings
Long earrings with Rocaille fringes are a classic of boho style. Colors like burgundy, terracotta, and gold work particularly well. The Miyuki Rocaille 11/0 Duracoat Kit | Metallic & Vibrant 6 Colors includes intense and metallic shades perfect for this type of piece.
Choker necklaces with color patterns
A choker with color blocks in earthy and cream tones has a very clean and modern result within the boho aesthetic. The Miyuki Rocaille 11/0 Neutrals & Metallics Kit | Black, White, Silver and Gold is ideal for this type of minimalist design with a boho touch.
