Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
While we have seen a decrease in the number of jewelry pieces worn at one time, the pieces themselves are larger and bolder than ever! Instead of wearing the typical fine jewelry, women are choosing one impressive signature piece, such as a diamond-studded cuff bracelet or a custom-made cocktail ring. Fashionistas can also accomplish this look by incorporating large colored stones into their accessories. It appears this trend is here to stay as designers gear up for the release of this year's collections.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
When shopping for jewelry, beware of cheap imitations. Cheap price could mean it's really plastic. For example, Turquoise Necklace could be dyed plastic to look like a Turquoise Gemstone.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
All gemstone jewelry requires special care. Turquoise for example should only be cleaned in warm water with a soft brush and allowed to air dry. Avoid using jewelry cleaners; they may contain ammonia or other chemicals that can discolor turquoise. High heat can also cause discoloration.

My name is Lynn and I am a jewellery designer and creator. I've been designing and creating jewelry for 10 years now and it is my absolute passion. I'm from Québec city and now living in Montreal.
Over the years, my designs have evolved from basic beading to wire wrapping, casting, and metal work. I’ve started exploring new techniques and am enjoying incorporating different styles and mediums into my work.
My designs are presently in various boutiques in the Montreal area.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
How to antique your sterling silver with an egg!
Boil an egg; chop it up and place it in a baggie with your silver for a few hours or until the silver has darkened to your liking. The sulfur in the egg yolk causes the reaction.
It will turn yellow and purple bluish, then greyish blackish. Wash off the silver with water and soap, then rinse.
Your jewellery or wire has turned black! This is a good thing. Just shine it up with some steel wool and/ or a polishing cloth. This technique is not very cost-effective.
This crafter has generously provided two additional tips which are displayed on this listing's details page.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
To make repurposed beads sparkle, I moisten a paper towel with Windex, then hand rub each bead to a shine. This technique works especially well on vintage crystals.

I design and craft glamorous, colorful, natural jewelry. I choose "natural" materials (stone, bone, wood, shell, silk) because even when altered by human hands, arranged and strung, the beauty of the processes that formed them breaks through and dazzles me. The best part is I grow the grey job's tears beads that I use in my own backyard!

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
Make necklaces with large beads longer than you would a necklace of smaller beads. Chunky beads tighten the circumference around the neck more than you would think!

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
When I make multiple stranded necklaces with tiny beads such as seed beads, I love the bead spinner. There are two kinds in the market and I prefer the battery operated one over the hand cranked model. It makes life so much easier. The batteries last a long time too.

Beaded Jewelry Crafty Tip
1. Feel like you have too many beads you don't need anymore and don't know what to do with them? Find a local community of jewelry artists and organize a bead swap!
2. To prolong the life of your sterling silver jewelry, never shower, swim or bath with your jewelry on; keep it in a dry non-humid place, in a jewelry box if possible.
3. To polish silver jewelry, first boil water and then pour it in a dish. Lay your jewelry flat on the bottom, and sprinkle a bit of baking soda on top of the water and jewelry. Leave it for 20-30 minutes, then take it out and gently dry with a towel. Note that this is only for silver jewelry - if your jewelry has gemstones, this may not be appropriate.
