Wires

noreply@blogger.com (Sandyk) — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:34:00 +0000

Almost every kind of jewelry starts from a wire. Wires have the distinct ability to adapt with every kind of bead let it be Sterling Silver Beads, Copper Beads, Vermeil Beads, Scratched Beads or Brushed Beads.

Choosing the perfect shape of the wire to make your perfect jewelry can be tricky sometimes.

FineSilverBeads.com have introduced 3 types of wires to suit your every need. These are Round Wire, Square Wire and Half Round Wire. These are available in many gauges (thickness) as per requirement.

The Best part is that all these are available in both Silver and Vermeil.

My personal recommendation for buying wires is definitely FineSilverBeads.com

Scratched Beads

FineSilverBeads.com introduced Scratched Silver Beads online. Click here to view the products.

Scratched Silver Beads are also known as Brushed Silver Beads or Matte Finish Beads. These beads are made from solid Sterling Silver and then the surface is scratched.

Brushed Silver Beads are available in many fancy shapes and sizes which can be customized as per requirement.

These beads have that shimmering effect which can be the hot spot of any piece of jewelry.

The best part is FineSilverBeads are also offering Scratched Beads in Silver Plated Solid Copper. This makes them highly affordable.

I would highly recommend www.FineSilverBeads.com as the place to go for buying scratch beads at wholesale prices.

noreply@blogger.com (Sandyk) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 10:43:00 +0000

Hi ! I am Back. It's been a long time since my last post.

This time I am talking about Vermeil Beads.

Many of you must have read about Vermeil Beads and Findings. Vermeil is a term referring to the colour of Gold. Vermeil actually refers to a combination of Silver, Gold and may be some other precious metal.

In terms of today's Beads and Jewelery, Vermeil Silver Beads are Sterling Silver Beads Coated with 14kt Gold.

All these beads look wonderful and are tarnish free for a very long period of time.
Bali Silver Beads, Sterling Silver Toggles, 925 Silver Findings and Silver Bead Caps are available in Vermeil at 925 Silver Stores.

I visited this website and find it quite good for Beaders. So I take the liberty to suggest you this cool site. Don't forget to let me know your experience on 925 Silver Stores in the comments section.

Gold Filled

noreply@blogger.com (Sandyk) — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 12:26:00 +0000

What is Gold Filled?

Definition:
"covered with gold: made of any base metal and covered with a layer of gold"

Gold Filled is something which is made of any base metal but is then covered by a layer of actual gold.It contains much more gold than gold plated articles.

When wearing Gold filled jewelry, your body comes in contact with actual gold layer.It safe for sensitive skin.

Most gold filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded to the outside of a base metal such as brass. Just as with gold-plated jewelry, there is quite a range of quality, with a varying and wide price range. Some items understandably wear quickly while other more expensive pieces containing more gold can last years with light wear. In the aggregate, solid 14k gold is a more economically sensible investment than gold filled or plated jewelry because it never wears out and solid gold generally appreciates.

Although all gold plated or filled jewelry will eventually wear out and become worthless, it is all that some jewelry enthusiasts can afford.

Costume Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (Sandyk) — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 05:15:00 +0000

Costume jewelry is jewelry that is made of less valuable materials, including base metals, glass, plastic, and synthetic stones, in place of more valuable materials such as precious metals and gems. These items are usually, but not always, inexpensive, and often flashy. Costume jewelry is mainly used for fashion purposes, opposed to "real" (precious) jewelery which may exist primary as collectables, keepsakes, or investments. It can also be called “Fashion Jewelry.”

The term costume jewelry dates back to the early part of the 20th century when the word “costume” was used in reference to ones outfit. In today’s lexicon, the words “outfit or “garment” have replaced the word “costume” in reference to the fashion mode. A common description of the fashion during this period would read, “Handsome street costume of maroon brown velvet….” Thus the jewelry worn with everyday fashion (costumes) grew to be known as “costume jewelry.”

Costume jewelry can vary from vintage rhinestone sets to the latest fashions such as hair accessories and body jewelry with imitation stones.

Now a days people consider it as fashion statemenst along with status.People prefer jewelry made from silver and semiprecious stones.
Often Bali Silver Beads and findings are used, due to their ethnic value, with semi precious stones like tourmaline, amethyst, quartz, etc.

925 Silver Stores is a great place to find such jewelry. They have made available finished jewelry as well as the components for the more creative ones all at one store.

Backed by excellent craftsmanship and creative team of designers, 925 Silver Stores is an established name in the field of manufacture and export of Costume Jewellery, Silver Jewellery and Semi Precious Jewellery.

I hope once you visit www.925silverstores.com , you will agree with my opinion .

Bali Silver Clasps

noreply@blogger.com (Sandyk) — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 11:40:00 +0000

For the jewelry maker, clasps are the all-important finishing touch to what truly is a piece of art. Clasps come in a wide diversity of shapes and sizes. Finding the right one for a specific piece is largely a matter of taste. You can choose from a simple hook to ornate toggle clasps, even gemstone studded ones.

If you are already a jewelry making hobbyist, I'm sure you already know what a Toggle is, but the rest of us might need a little explanation.

Toggle is essentially a primitive but effective means for clasping two ends of a chain. A toggle consists of a bar on one end, and hoop that the bar goes through.

The bar slides through vertically and rests against the hoop horizontally. Sterling silver toggles are an elegant means of clasping a fine bracelet or necklace.

The gemstone toogles are bit more expensive but the cost is nothing when compared to the beauty of the finished pieces.These add a couple of stars to the necklace or bracelet.

There are other, less popular, types of clasps also like:

1.Box Clasps

2.Lobster Clasps

www.925silverstores.com is a nice place to go for your beading needs.They have a wide variety of designs (more than 1000 and updating) to satisfy your needs.What's more, they also make custom designs for you.
