Shopping for My Young Nieces

Friday, January 27th, 2012

I have 6 nieces in their 20s and I have always had trouble shopping for their birthdays. They are stylish girls with very particular taste and for that reason, I am hesitant to buy them clothes. And even though money and gift cards seem very impersonal, they are usually my go-to gifts when I can’t think of anything creative to give them. However, the other day I was having dinner with a friend of mine and her daughter, Katie, and Katie told me to look into Joanna Gollberg’s Designer Art Jewelry. It makes a great gift for a woman of any age! Her line includes a variety of necklaces, bracelets, pendants, earrings, and rings to fit all occasions. I went online and even bought a few pieces for myself! I think my nieces will love the classic look of her jewelry and it definitely makes me feel better to give them something other than money!

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Consider whether your fashion bracelets are for you or someone else. If for someone else, think about the person’s style. Does the person wear delicate jewelry, or does she stand out? Look online and print catalogs and visit jewelry making sites for inspiration. Explore design options. Look at online bead catalogs. Often, you can find beads or other items that help you come up with ideas. Think about elements you want to include most in the bracelet and make pencil sketches of designs. Put your designs away for a day, reexamine them later and make the necessary adjustments. Decide on a design and look for cording, charms and other items which will assist you in achieving the design. Lay out materials for the bracelet before you start your construction. Make sure the colors you’re using are compatible and that every element is in balance with each another. You should consider practicing construction methods with cheap materials before you start your project.

How to Make a Beaded Flower Necklace

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

A beaded flower necklace is a piece of jewelry that is unique and will never go out of style. And if you have a few supplies and some time, it’s easy to create your own.

You’ll need to get some supplies in order to create this necklace. They include a filigree base, in the shape of a flower, 28 gauge wire in silver or gold, and seed beads or 3mm crystals with sew on backs. Once you’ve gathered your supplies, it’s time to make the flowers.

First, loop the wire onto the top of one of the petals of the filigree base and pull the wire to securely fasten onto the filigree. Then, with the wire attached to the filigree, string on your beads or crystals onto the wire. Place as many beads or crystals onto the wire that will fit across the width of the petal. Wrap the wire across the back of the petal and start your second row. Repeat this step until you’ve got the petal covered with beads or crystals. When you’ve completed wrapping the filigree petal with beads or crystals, twist or secure the wire onto the back of the filigree.

Repeat this step for all the petals on the flower until the filigree is covered in the beads or crystals. Now that the front looks good, you’ll want to cover the back of the flower since the wire is visible. Take another flower filigree base and attach it to the one with the flowers by using the 28 gauge wire. This will cover the back while also give the filigree additional support.

Now that the filigree flower is beaded, you can add some embellishments such as a pearl or another stone. This will give the beaded filigree a center piece and more of a flower look. Attach the filigree onto a chain to complete your beautiful and unique beaded flower necklace.

Diamond Fluorescent Pariah

Monday, July 11th, 2011

It’s hard to believe in the light of today’s diamond market that diamond fluorescence was a highly prized property of diamonds until as recently as the early 1980s. This was a period when many speculative investors entered the diamond market, without the benefit of any serious education in the business. When many of these investors tried to cash in their diamond assets, they were shocked to find that their stones would not bring them the capital gains they expected and in many cases the reason given for low price on their stones was fluorescence. Since that time diamond fluorescence has been a dirty word around the industry. However disproportionate this reaction may seem, it is a fact. Serious dealers and collectors these days are obsessed with the “purity” of a stone and this has been another force in the general rejection of fluorescence, at least in the trading of high-quality stones. Most dealers are also reluctant to buy diamonds with the slightly hazy effect seen in fluorescent stones.

Girlfriend Does Not Trust Site to Engrave Wedding Rings

Monday, January 31st, 2011

I was looking on the internet last night to see if there were any places that you could send wending rings away to be engraved. There were a couple of websites where this service was offered for a relatively cheap price and I am all up for using one of them but my girlfriend has a few reservations. She thinks that either the rings will never end up coming back as the sites are just a con, that the engraved wedding rings will get lost in the post on the way back or even on the way there or that they just won’t get back in time for the wedding. The thing is we live on an island and there is no place around where we can get this done locally and we don’t plan to travel to the mainland until after the wedding. I have suggested we just wait if she is that worried but she really wants to have the rings engraved for the big day.
