Exploring the Beauty of Multi-Strand Jewelry

When it comes to jewelry, layering is a popular trend that has remained in style for years. Whether it's a necklace or multi-strand bracelet, the look of layers can provide a bold presence. If you're in the market for multi-strand jewelry, sterling silver remains one of the most affordable options for getting a beautiful design without breaking your budget.

In terms of jewelry, the term 'multi-strand' can be used to describe a variety of styles. The classic definition would be one that incorporates varying lengths to give the appearance of a layered look. For instance, a multi-strand necklace could feature a 16", 17" and 18" chain so as to give the illusion that three different necklaces are being worn when, in actuality, the wearer has only one. Depending on the style that you prefer, you can choose from a simple 2-3 strand necklace up to designs that feature 20 strands or more.

The 'bib' or 'drape' necklace, another popular term used to describe multi-strand jewelry, often features multiple smaller chains created to gracefully accent the neckline using a cascading combination of loops and drops. Because of the intricate styling and workmanship, these necklaces remain highly sought after and can easily be worn in a formal setting. At the same time, these popular styles can be worn casually with your favorite pair of jeans.

When choosing which type of multi-strand necklace to wear, a significant part of the deciding factors will be based on the shirt that is being worn. For instance, a turtleneck will typically require an 18" or longer necklace. An open neckline, such as that found on a v-neck, square neck or even a button-up shirt will accommodate any length of necklace that can be comfortably worn and easily seen.

In addition to necklaces, multi-strand designs are also a popular style in bracelets. The movement of flowing chains combined with the width created by using multiple strands will provide a flattering and bold look. Depending on the weight of the piece, it may be accented with an oversized spring-ring or even a toggle clasp. These accents are designed to be especially large to provide a focal point for a bracelet or necklace. In many cases, these findings are perfect for a larger multi-strand design.

If you are in the market for multi-strand jewelry, sterling silver can provide you with an impressive look at an affordable price. Because it ranges from 2.5 to 2.7 on the scale of hardness, it is stronger than some types of gold. As you can see, sterling silver is both durable and can allow for a larger jewelry collection at a more feasible cost.

When shopping for multi-strand jewelry online, look for a retailer who specializes in your precious metal of choice for the best selection. If sterling silver is your favorite, you may even be able to find additional styles that will catch your eye. And best of all, you won't have to spend a fortune to get an impressive jewelry collection, but it will certainly look as though you did.

Designer Handbag Fashion Totally Misunderstood

True, there's been a lot of media about children's toys being manufactured poorly. Shame on China for the mess they've created. They'll fix the problem, or they'll lose business. We all learn from our mistakes, right? Or, at least the smart folks learn. And, let's face it, China is no dummy!

China has been manufacturing most of the clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories stocked in all the major department stores throughout the world for many, many years. And, this is not going to fade or go away. China offers low-cost labor for low-end to high-end designer handbags, clothing and just about anything around the house.

Most people don't understand the truth about the Made in China label. China has been producing most of the Designer Merchandise sold in the USA for very long time. Why? Because the price to manufacture in China keeps prices as low as possible for consumers. People complain about the high price tags on designer handbags, clothing, shoes, and accessories. If the same item made in China was made in the USA or Europe the prices would be doubled or tripled.

If the Hermes Birkin bag was assembled by hand in China instead of France, the price would not be $7,000.00 each. If Italian leather was sent to China for the assembly of Prada handbags, the prices would not be $3,000.00 each. Please put things into perspective.

Burberry's new management decided to use China for some of its assembled manufacturing needs and people went crazy. The thought of using a designer handbag made in China is misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misguided. The product made in China consists of the same quality of fabric as if it were made in the USA, France, England or Italy. The only difference is the designer item was assembled in China, or any other country offering a cheaper assembly manufacturing process.

Most of the high-end Designers buy fabrics, leathers, and materials from the USA or Europe, pay a premium price for the high-quality fabrication, and then negotiate manufacturing in China. The materials and specifications are sent to China and made. Representatives from each of the Design Houses travel to China or other manufacturing countries to supervise the process. The finished products are shipped to the USA and other parts of the world for sale. It's a process kept sweet and as simple as possible. It creates jobs and produces a global economy.

Most consumers don't know the designer manufacturing process or understand the details. They see a Made in China label and assume it's a counterfeit item or fake. In reality, it's not. It's a moderately priced item made in a country which has been stereo-typed. And, we can't blame the consumer because most of the junk, counterfeit and fake merchandise bearing the trademarks of others are made in China. Hopefully, the USA Customs Department working closely with the fashion industry will help end importing counterfeit goods.

There are many countries available the fashion designers use to outsource labor. The high-end leather designer handbags with high-ticket price tags are made in the USA, Italy, London and France. The lower cost designer products are made elsewhere. Most designers offer collections every season which provide both high-end and lower priced products. For example, Ralph Lauren has five price and fabrication determined collections: RL Classics, Collection, Black Label, Blue Label and Lauren. Plus, many of the designers produce a separate collection for outlet stores and discount stores like Marshalls, TJ Max, Target, Walmart, etc.

Some of the countries are more commonly used than others, and nonetheless they are countries with capabilities and low-cost labor. Some of these countries include, and are not limited to China, Turkey, Mexico, Romania, India and Portugal.

Fashion designers who make designer handbags, designer wallets, designer scarves, designer clothing, hats, shoes, etc. use these countries because they can sell their products at affordable prices. Some of the fashion designers include, and are not limited to Coach, Burberry, Liz Claiborne, Robert Rodriquez, Max Studio, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Dooney & Bourke, Juicy Couture, Donna Karan, Anne Klein, Brighton, and many, many others.

Just because an item is Made in China, it does not constitute fake or counterfeit. Let's get this straight and communicated clearly. The reason the item was made in China is because at that point in time, the designer's manufacturing team decided it was the best business decision to make for a cost-effective distribution of its product and collection.

The next time you see a Made in China label on a designer handbag or accessory, and you purchased it from a reputable source, thank your lucky stars for the bargain price you paid. If you have any doubt, take the item to the designer's boutique for authentication and peace of mind. Don't assume just because it's Made in China it's a fake. You know what assuming does, right?

How do you make a back for an odd shaped cameo/cabachon? Jewelry/Jewellery making. Pendants.?

I have some unusual shaped cameos and cabochons that I would like to make in to brooches/pendants/earrings. I make jewellery on a regular basis and normally use correct size cabochon mounts but I have some that are teardrop shaped and some that are very unusual that I just don't know what to do with. I've seen a necklace that somebody had mounted a teardrop cameo on something flat - I could tell because there was a ring to attach it to a necklace at the top but I don't know what they used or how they did it. Any help or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Carnelian - the Happy, Protective Gemstone in Today's Fashion Jewelry

Carnelian is a translucent, orangey-red chalcedony sometimes found in yellowish tones and white, frequently with two combined. Sunlight can sometimes make these colors more vivid. However, the effect of artificial light is distinctly lesser. It has a specific gravity of about 2.7 and a hardness of about 7. It is closely related to sard, differing only in the shade of red. Carnelian is composed of Silicon Dioxide, SiO2, and gets its red color from Hematite (Iron-Oxide, FeO2) impurities.  Brazil, Uruguay, India and Japan have reported some of the largest finds of carnelian. Finds of lesser importance have been identified in Texas, Colorado, and Florida.

The color and relatively low cost of carnelian makes it a popular gemstone for fashion jewelry such as silver pendants and necklaces. There are an infinite number of colors, shades, and patterns of this stone found in nature. This variety means that carnelian can be incorporated into a wide range of fashion jewelry, combining different focal stones in numerous precious and base metal settings. This fascination with carnelian in jewelry is not new. Carnelian has held a strong presence in the history of the world. It has been found in some of the oldest known jewelry, inlaid into the robes of Pu-Abi, a Sumerian Queen from the third millennium, B.C, among Egyptian tombs, in the breastplate of High Priest Aaron and in many other ancient cultures. One of its most popular uses was by the Romans. They used the stone for cameos, intaglios and as seal rings for imprinting seals with wax on correspondence and documents. Today, stone beads made with carnelian are found in a beautiful mix of natural exquisiteness and fine handcrafting, and continue to be quite popular. As these beads are carved, extreme care is crucial to ensure that its beauty would be intact. It is typically prepared with a cabochon cut (a smooth rounded cut) in order to bring out the natural elegance and color patterns of the stone. In some cases, beads are subjected to a facet-cut in order to promote sparkle in the gemstone. Carnelian is sometimes heat-treated or dyed in order to enhance its color.

Carnelian is considered to be the perfect stone for stimulating the circulatory system, kidneys, appetite, emotions, and sexuality. It bestows confidence, assertiveness, and an unstoppable drive to succeed, and is believed to promote happiness, creativity, steadfastness, confidence, courage, analytical power and assertiveness, and helps one to achieve greater success in career and personal matters. This stone has been mentioned in Arabic, Hebrew, and Roman folklore. These civilizations believed that it protected the wearer in the after-life, and from evil spirits. This stone has also been popular with European and Asian civilizations.
