Several months ago I received a copy of Bead Simple by Susan Beal to review and I've sat on this post for months because I've been having too much fun with projects the book has inspired.Things have been busy--or maybe I've just been lazy, sometimes the two problems can overlap and the boundaries between the two can be fuzzy--but I've finally got around to photographing and writing about some of m

Here's a necklace good enough to sink your teeth into, the gumdrop necklace! While eating gumdrops today, the idea popped into my head. So, I tested it out and it worked! Love when that happens. Just think of the possibilities with all the great shapes gummy candy comes in, coke bottles, frogs, hearts, etc. This could be a fun child craft project/treat. Perhaps favors for a birthday party? D
One of the more popular kinds of jewelry worn by men, the necklace never loses its important place in men’s fashion. Whether it is made of silver, gold, steel, platinum, or any other precious metal, it surely contributes to a man’s over-all style and get-up.
Diamond is the hardest known metal in the world. It is also one of two known forms of carbon useful for jewelry and industrial applications. The other mineral form of pure carbon is known as graphite. Diamonds have very impressive physical qualities. They are so strong that only another diamond can cut themDifference Between a True Diamond and False DiamondWith the increased demand in diamonds, some necklaces can either be made of real diamonds or synthetic diamonds. A synthetic diamond is a true diamond in every sense and is created by a technological process while a diamond stimulant is made of non-diamond material created to simulate the appearance of a true diamond. This process has helped meet the demand for diamond necklaces. Producers of synthetic diamonds have begun to manufacture
Glow stick necklaces are perhaps most popular for children to wear during Halloween or for campers to wear as makeshift lanterns.Glow stick necklaces work just like any other glow stick, the result of a chemical mixture. Most commercial glow sticks are composed of hydrogen peroxide and phenyl oxalate ester. One of these chemicals is incased in a small glass vial within the plastic tube. When the plastic tube is bent, the glass is broken and the two chemicals mix, emitting a light. The color of the light is dependent on the fluorescent dye that is most often stored in the plastic case and not within the glass vial.While some glow stick necklaces are made by attaching a short, plastic tube to a string, most are made out of very long, thin tubes that are formed into a loop to be placed over t
Purchasing a necklace is a tough decision. There are so many styles, shapes, sizes and gemstones to choose from, it can seem like a decision you will never be able to make by yourself. This is compounded if you are going to be purchasing a necklace for someone else.It's best to take on this decision in levels of Style, Stone and Fit:StyleWhat should the necklace look like? Do you want something that is only going to be worn once or twice for a special event, or should this be an everyday piece?Now you have to decide on the kind of necklace you want, do you want a simple chain with a solitaire pendant? A Drop? A chandelier pendant? Or a necklace with designer chain?If you want a necklace that is ready for everyday wear, you should probably stick with a solitaire pendant or a simple drop pen
I remember from my childhood that my auntie used to love pearls. She used to collect them and it seemed that everybody was trying to get her a gift whenever there was an opportunity that would contain pearls. She also believed that pearls had medical value and were contributing to her health. Whenever I think of pearls, I think of the sea. And since I love the sea, I also have good memories associated with it. Pearls come from the water and they grow there. They develop in oysters. What is nice about them that they come in different colors which make them a good gift for a bride. Pearl necklaces might be the best choice for everyone who wears white, cream, silver and green colors. Items made from pearls do not have to be expensive. You would be surprised to find out how affordable they ar

It's the first day of spring and it feels like the dead of winter. I am sitting at my computer with some Starbucks Passion tea to soothe this sore throat of mine and window shopping online. At the request of Sasha and a couple of other girls, I am going to be writing about the horse races like Gold Cup, Foxfield, Preakness, Kentucky Derby and all the other derby-esque fashions. I am going a wee bit formal this year with my choice of attire, hat and accessories. Here are two necklace options for that strapless number. When I saw the black necklace, I couldn't believe it was by Forever 21. The Gemstone Cluster Necklace is beautiful. The cluster of black stones dangle on a black link chain and just stands out. It is elegance at its finest. This necklace looks like it would cost a lot but it's

Have you noticed how us women go through necklaces phases throughout our lives? And how these phases are intimately connected with our age, our social status and our attitude towards the world?I've already written about the symbolism of big necklaces here, but this post wishes to delve deeper...If you are anything like me, you've started wearing necklaces as soon as you could grab one out of your mother's jewelry box.In the beginning, anything worked: I remember one of my favorite ones from her collection was made of big round wooden beads, beads the size of grapes and deep red in color (Yikes!).But as soon as we get to pick our very first necklace, we go for something along these lines: sweet, pink, with cute characters that we can talk to.It's just us and the necklace, nothing else exist
Ok... This morning had been exciting. :) Well, it was not what happened that was exciting. Rather, I think it should be what I'm feeling la. :P I got my Etsy order from Kim (stoopidgerl).

Just wandering through Kohl's today and saw they have really cute necklaces on sale. I am inclined to wearing a lot of black, so necklaces are great for adding dimension, color and style on the cheap.

This idea just popped into my head this morning at work. My friends and I were talking about a particular fashion trend we've been seeing a lot of lately (one which I shall elaborate on in a later post), and I thought to myself wow, high school really is one of the most trend-following places on earth. Then I thought about how fashion trends (FT's) are extremely important to some people (myself partially included, lol), and figured it would be a good idea to record all the FT's I notice at school and write about them. This can be for any number of causes, e.g.: so people can read about a particular FT and perhaps decide to try it out..?Anyway, I thought I'd start with something that I, myself, have invested in (and I was one of the first, I'm proud to admit, lol): Jade necklaces with red strings.I remember writing about the fact that my close friends were going on a trip to China a little while ago. Well, they've been back for a few weeks, and one particular gorgeous friend of mi
Pearls are among the oldest known gemstones in existence, and even before diamonds were discovered pearls have been used by tribals for buying and selling goods. Today pearls are available in a variety of jewellery from necklaces to earrings. Add classic style of pearl necklaces to your jewelry collection is a good choice.In fact the appeal of pearls lies in that they are elegant and go with almost any type of dress. From formal wear to wedding dresses pearls have a way of blending in effortlessly with almost any dress. In fact the reason why pearls are truly timeless is because pearls never have a ‘bling bling’ effect like gold and diamonds. As a family heirloom pearls have been handed down from generation to generation for a long time now, and it is a matter of pride for a woman to receive her mother’s pearl sets. Pearls are classified based on their colour, origin and size. There are two basic types of pearls based on their origin. The first type is natural pearls; these are
Long necklaces are in right now, draped over sleek tops, layered with other pieces. This fall, I look forward to wearing some of my favorite long necklaces over turtle-neck sweaters, or over black and neutral-colored shift dresses. The metals and shiny gemstones contrast beautifully against fall colors.
Trend or not, we believe that classic pieces are always here to stay. That's why we always
I’ve been playing around with making some unique paper beads lately and I was thinking about writing a tutorial on how to do it, but then I thought a better idea would be to show you all the great tutorials that I’ve been using online to help me master the art of the paper bead.
See a video tutorial on how to create a paper bead necklace like this one over at Instructibles.com.
I like to call paper beads the “poor woman’s lampwork beads” because it allows us to make unique beads without all the glass and equipment costs required to blow and heat glass.
The first tutorial I came across was on the fun site called Instructibles.com They have all sorts of crazy “how-to” things, but usually they don’t have too many bead jewelry items. However, I stumbled over this “How To Make a Paper Bead Necklace” instructible and just had to share it! What’s cool about this tutorial is that it has a video version first, so you can w
Amber Teething Necklaces are difficult to make, so you might be better off buying one such as this beautiful piece from Amberizon.
I was clued into this great bead jewelry idea by a friend who has an infant son who is going through a tough patch with his new teeth coming in. My friend had tried everything to soothe the pain and calm the poor thing but finally found something amazing that she swears works: Amber Teething Necklaces!
These teething necklaces aren’t made for chewing, but rather, they’re usually made to be worn by the mother while the child is carried against the mother. There are some versions of the amber teething necklace that are meant to be worn by the child, but I would think you’d have to be very careful about that. If the necklaces were to be worn by babies the child should only wear it when being supervises (never while sleeping) and the clasp would have to be a “break away” clasp to prevent any sort of accidental pulling or ch

When we went camping last month I brought along a few crafts to keep the kids busy should it rain. Though we didn't have much rain this was a very popular activity with both the boys and girls, young and teen--magic necklaces.Maybe it's the effects of Harry Potter mania left over from July but the kids all liked making their very own Magic Stone necklaces and have worn them around ever since.You'll need: a spool of suede lacing, some gold craft wire and an assortment of cool rocks and sea shells of an appropriate size for a necklace. I bought some bits of swirled colored glass at the craft store that were fun and looked "magical" but you could also find your own (great for camping). Beach glass, pretty rocks, sea shells on the beach--all would make beautiful creations.To wrap it treat the wire like ribbon on a package: start out by laying the wire over the top of the rock, holding it securely with your thumb, then bring it down to cross underneath the rock. Give it a 90 degree t
