Dear Jerry,
June is a big month for pearls, it is the
birthstone plus pearls are the traditional
jewelry for brides. There are new Swarovski
Crystal Pearl colors and sizes, and several of
the beading magazines have had articles on using
pearls in beading. There is a big push on by
marketers to improve the reputation of Chinese
Freshwater Pearls.
Barefoot Sandals
These look like something out of
I-Dream-Of-Jeannie. Are you tired of wearing
flip-flops? Why not wear beaded barefoot sandals.
You could buy them on eBay for around $8.00
or...
Make you own - we have several links to project
sites. These sandals are a fast and fun project
that you can complete in about an hour. Then
head outside to the pool or beach to show them off!
Fun and easy these sandals can be made up in
about an hour, and has lots of room for
variations to make it different with every pair
you make.

Custom Tiaras |
 |
I wish that I had come across these sites in
time for the prom season. I read and article
last year in Colored Stone Magazine about the
predicted comeback of the Tiara.
I treated this like I treat all good information
that comes my way. I ignored it.
I have noticed a slight surge in tiaras in
magazines, movies (if the princess diary movies
count) and at Claires in the mall.
I plan to create an area on my website devoted
to making tiaras, until then check out the Tiger
Lilly Tiaras website. Handcrafted bridal tiaras
and jewelry made with Swarovski crystals,
freshwater pearls and authentic gemstones.

School's Out |
|
|
They have handed in their last paper and taken
their last test. They are now free until ... I
don't know, I think like August or something.
So hopefully, you and your children or friends
will take a few days to unwind and work on your
tan. Now that they found out the sun is good for
you again.
Try to have some fun this summer.

New Pearls, Swarovski and Some Fancy Chips.
You will notice some new color names for our
pearls. Pearl color is largely subjective, so
this time around we asked two of our employees
to help us name the colors.
Watch for colors like Autum Leaves, Shades of
Violet, Powder Sky Blue and Tortoise.
They said that they had lots-o-fun naming the
colors.

Summer Weather - Nickel |
|
Hot Summer Weather Sparks Outbreak Of Jewelry Skin
Rashes.
Nickel rashes increase during the summer, because
sweat leaches nickel from metal - typically
jewelry. In
addition, beach-going teens are more apt to have
ears
and bodies pierced.
The allergy to nickel can develop at any age. It
is more
common in women, but the incidence in men is
increasing because of the popular trend in piercing
various body parts. Once nickel allergy occurs,
it often
persists for a lifetime.
Nickel may be a hidden in your most commonly used
products, creams and even medications. Do not
overlook these potential sources:
- Non-U.S. Coins (The 1 and 2-euro coins have
recently made headlines as concern gathers about
its
potential role in causing nickel allergy.)
- Green Felt Dye (such as that used on pool
tables)
- Machine oils used to cut or grind
- Some eye cosmetics
- Chromium and cobalt
You can buy a test for nickel at your local
pharmacy or
on the Internet. Having a nickel test kit
(dimethylglyoxime) on hand helps avoid unnecessary
repeat nickel exposures.
The test is simply to use. Just apply 2 drops of
dimethyglyoxime and 1 drop of ammonium hydroxide to
a cotton swab then rub the object. A strawberry red
color is a positive result and indicates the
presence of
nickel.
