Happy New Year OHMily! I tossed out the Christmas tree yesterday so I am ready to face what this new year will bring! And today is preview day for the January release! With four new exciting designs and a preorder that starts today! Release day of the regular beads is January 13.

BLESS YOUR HEART

In the sanctuary of benevolence, let your heart brim with pure intention, each beat a symphony of countless inner voices. Bestow hope upon the essence of your being, navigating the delicate paradox each blessing weaves. Every “blessing” is a testament, casting nuanced shadows amidst the sunlight of your spirit. Through the passage of time, you may have encountered the ache of these unintended curses – where love transforms into obsession, fortune breeds greed, and health teeters into fragility.

In the tapestry of existence, where words cloak deceit in the guise of gratitude, your spirit perseveres, clad in the armor of thankfulness. As the light gently fades, the enigma of life’s intricate dance beckons, posing questions that stir the soul. Amidst a labyrinth of intentions, embark on a quest for clarity, to decipher the subtle shifts where benevolence might edge into malevolence.

With BLESS YOUR HEART, unravel this riddle, seeking the heart’s true essence. It’s a journey to rediscover the untarnished core of your being, a pilgrimage back to the pristine sanctuary within, where every heartbeat is a blessing, pure and untainted by the shadows of misconception.

FEELINGS CLASHING MAKES SENSE

FEELINGS CLASHING MAKES SENSE as an expressive piece draws you into its swirling dance of fiery orange and cool blue, two contrasting colors that symbolize the balance between intensity and calm. With each glance, the bead tells a story of emotion and energy, where opposites collide yet find harmony in their movement.

The deep orange tones spark a sense of passion, action, and warmth, while the serene blue waves bring tranquility, reflection, and peace. The swirls of these colors twist and turn through the glass, forming intricate patterns that evoke a visual journey, much like the way emotions often overlap, merge, and emerge in unexpected ways. The vibrant contrast serves as a reminder that clashing feelings are not something to fear, but rather to embrace, as they help us make sense of the complexities within ourselves.

This striking statement is ideal for those who are not afraid to wear their emotions proudly; An invitation to celebrate the beauty in contradiction and the deeper sense of clarity that emerges from emotional turbulence.

When feelings clash, they create a sense of dynamic balance, urging you to find strength in the contrasts. Add it to your collection to symbolize the richness of the human experience.

FEELINGS CLASHING MAKES SENSE where contrasts connect, and emotions become art.

HORSE HOEDOWN

To bring you good luck, good fortune, and a collector’s dream, OHM proudly presents these animal masks for you — starting with the original LION DANCE, and now galloping joyfully into 2026 and beyond with HORSE HOEDOWN.

There is a long-standing tradition in China of dancers wearing masks to resemble animals or mythical beasts — such as dragons, fish, or phoenixes — while moving to mimic the creatures’ movements for good luck and fortune. These dances are an integral part of Chinese New Year celebrations, weddings, and many cultural and religious festivals. The large, elaborate masks are often made of papier-mâché over a bamboo frame and then beautifully painted and adorned with layered cloth, feathers, and fur. Equally colorful costumes accompany the masks, and the dancers shake, leap, and twirl to the vigorous rhythm of powerful drum beats.

During Chinese New Year, troupes of dancers visit homes and shops in the community to perform a dance called cai qing (採青), or “plucking the greens,” to bring good fortune. Traditionally, lettuce was hung on a pole for the dancers to reach, but the “greens” now may be fruit, seafood, or even beer. The dancers must stay in character, within the rhythm of the dance, to pluck the offering. Their reward? A red envelope tied to the greens, filled with money — the more difficult the challenge, the greater the luck.

In the continued vibrant rhythm of tradition and with a joyous clatter of hooves, the wild spirit of HORSE HOEDOWN joins the LION DANCE collection — a celebration of movement, mythology, and dance. Inspired by the resplendent Chinese New Year lion dances and the ornate Zodiac animal masks, this creation channels the fearless vitality of the horse, infused with the celebratory cadence of a festive hoedown.

Drawing upon the legacy of ceremonial performance, HORSE HOEDOWN honors the equine spirit for the Year of the Horse — a symbol of hard work, speed, strength, and unbridled joy. With an articulated jaw seen in Zodiac animal mask predecessors, it echoes the jubilant stomp of lion dance parades and the dynamic expression of East-meets-West pageantry.

A stampede of spirit. A call to dance. A gallop through celebration. Envision the horse’s exuberant twirls and kicks, stirring joy, invoking prosperity, and connecting the festive dots between tradition and transformation.

From the original LION DANCE to this wild, waltzing wonder, the Zodiac mask series continues to evolve: OX OLE, TIGER TWO-STEP, RABBIT ROCKER, DRAGON DISCO, SNAKE SASHAY, and now HORSE HOEDOWN — riding the line between past and present, playful, powerful, and undeniably OHM.

Giddy up. Let the revelry reign. This New Year, we don’t just trot — we hoedown.

THE OTHER SIDE WILL ALWAYS REVEAL ITSELF

An introspection in a swirl of vibrant, earthy tones. THE OTHER SIDE WILL ALWAYS REVEAL ITSELF encapsulates a moment of self-reflection and discovery, beautifully expressed through the flowing marbled design in shades of sky blue, deep brown, and a touch of creamy white. This bead beckons the wearer to look beyond the surface, as the swirling colors evoke movement, change, and the deeper layers of truth hidden beneath our everyday perceptions.

Handcrafted with precision, each bead is a unique masterpiece, much like the inner journey we all embark upon. The rich blue hue reflects calmness and serenity, while the brown tones root it in the warmth of the earth, offering balance between the spiritual and the grounded. The glass itself, clear and pure, frames the swirling patterns, adding the sense of transparency and revelation. The design speaks of fluidity and the ever-evolving nature of the self.

Perfect for those who seek meaning in the smallest details, this bead is a beautiful reminder that with time, all truths reveal themselves. Whether worn as part of a bracelet, necklace, or charm collection, serving as a wearable token of life’s journey.

Embrace the elegance, embrace the mystery because THE OTHER SIDE WILL ALWAYS REVEAL ITSELF.
