Tip Of The Month :
real vs costume jewelry design
28/06/04
Costume
Jewelry is often more elaborate and imaginative
than fine jewelry because the low cost of the materials
makes experimentation of new styles and techniques less
expensive.

Tip Of The Month: Ziplock
bags come in handy
updated
15/06/04
Keep
your old jewelry new by storing it in plastic Ziplock
bags. This will not only protect your jewelry and
slow the oxidation process, but will also keep your
original stones with the piece should they happen to
fall out. Be sure to create air holes so moisture does
not get inside.

Tip Of The Month: beads
are wonderful to collect
10/05/04
If
you have a vintage beaded necklace or bracelet that
is broken or is missing beads, it may still be a valuable
collectible. If the beads are unusual, handmade, created
from certain materials, or rare, they can be sold for
a nice profit at auctions or shows. Many beads are considered
an art on their own; especially handmade glass beads
from Venice Italy as these are often intricate and difficult
to create. Single vintage beads are wonderful to
collect because of the varieties of colors, shapes,
and materials that are available.
