Unmasking the New Year: OHM Beads January 2026 Collection

Happy New Year, Bead Friends! Can you believe it is 2026? Martin and I are shaking off the holiday fuzz and diving straight into one of our favorite times of the year: the first Bead Mail drop of the season! OHM Beads has absolutely delivered with a collection that balances the high energy of the Lunar New Year with some deeply meditative vibes.

First up, for my collectors who have been building their stack of Zodiac Animal Masks—the wait is over. HORSE HOEDOWN is here to gallop into the Year of the Horse! If you have the Lion Dance or Dragon Disco, you know how special these pieces are. This silver charm features that signature articulated jaw (we love a bead with movement!) and captures the fearless vitality of the horse. It’s a little bit wild, a little bit festive, and completely stunning.

But what’s a new year without some introspection? The new lampwork glass designs this month are breathtaking. THE OTHER SIDE WILL ALWAYS REVEAL ITSELF features marbled blues, deep browns, and creamy whites. It feels like an earthy, grounding stone but with the fluidity of glass—perfect for a nature-themed bracelet. On the flip side, we have FEELINGS CLASHING MAKES SENSE. This one is a fiery dance of orange and cool blue. It’s vibrant and chaotic in the best way possible, reminding us that emotional balance isn't always still; sometimes, it’s a swirl of energy.

Finally, there is BLESS YOUR HEART. This sculptural silver heart isn't just a sweet token; it explores the duality of blessings and shadows. It’s a heavy, thoughtful piece that adds serious meaning (and weight!) to your design.

Why Shop With Us? As a family business, Martin and I personally inspect every batch that arrives to ensure you get the best swirls and the smoothest silver. We know how much this collection means to you! Plus, don't forget that every treasure you add to your cart earns you Bead Coins for future discounts—so you can treat yourself now and save on your next unicorn later.

Which piece is calling your name? The wild horse or the meditative glass?
