BirthStone Jewelry

Its been a month that I have not written here and due to holidays and start of school last September I've missed even by saying happy holidays.

Anyway I been thinking about birthstone jewelry and most but not everyone likes to wear jewelry with their birthstone. Most precious gemstones are very expensive depends on the carats and not everyone of us can afford the luxurious jewelry that we dream of and lucky to some who can buy it easily. For an alternative to have our fancy and real birthstone jewelry we can have it in the form of beads, chips, tumbled stone in their natural form like for example diamond which are availble now on the market the rough and uncut diamond beads untreated in their natural form and affordable to whom who would like to have it as jewelry.

aquamarine, peridot, pyrite beads

Like me who dream that oneday I can own one but for now I'm a bit crazy in their natural untreated form.

Till next time:)

It always delight me the way crocheting works, the knits and waving technique and I know there are artisans that work and design only in knitting and crocheting especially in wire and I really love there work. Like a student I always love to learn and know new technique from the past post I've design and made the crocheted wire bracelet in simple chain as I've search the youtube for more info about crocheting wire it makes me more determined to make more crocheted jewelry and it is all about manipulating wire with simple chain.

Fused Copper Wire

One of my fears in making jewelry is the soldering technique as far as I can remember as a child I've seen my father's soldering materials and tools and how he manage to work those hot flames and I said "WOW" that's tough work. Last year i bought a micro torch just in case I have the courage to try...in my mind I tried soldering like practicing it a hundred times and there's always the word "What If" every time I hold the torch then put it back. I told my mother about the idea of soldering and she says "It will not happen until you try to make it happen". Now for the first time in soldering using a micro torch as a starter I use raw copper wire to fuse, micro torch, fire brick, goggles, and a glass of water to cool off the hot wire and I was wondering since fine silver can be fused without flux maybe copper can be fused also in the same process. After a couple of attempt to fuse copper wire finally I manage to make one bet...
