Various Color (Earth Tone colors) Jewelry Beads

Various Color (Earth Tone colors) Jewelry Beads

I needed something to go along with other items around the house in order to make some quick jewelry for my daughter and myself. I had the wiring, the end pieces, and other beads, but they were just solid colors from my daughter’s pink camo collection. I wanted something that was more adult, and I went looking.

I like these beads, not just because of their name, but because of what they resemble to me: Earth. Even our teenage son, whose sometimes in his own world, quickly glanced over and said that they looked like the planet Earth. They came in a strand of 100, looped like a necklace. They are 8 mm in size, with a 1 mm opening, which means that you can only fit wiring through the opening. They look better when they are set end to end, which resembles the Earth if split from North to South. My daughter made a bracelet with this, and I think it turned out great.

These are great beads for craft involving wire work, so I assume the possibilities can be endless, even with earrings. Good purchase and now looking for the next thing to make with them!

Wire for all experiments!

Navifoce Bare Copper Wire Tarnish Resistant Jewelry Wire

I have a daughter who is into arts and crafts, mainly into making jewelry. I also have a son who’s into repairing and tweaking electronics, which calls for intricate work, and school work, mainly science. As of a few weeks ago, I have been in the mood to make something with my hands, that didn’t involve cooking in the kitchen. 

I wanted to make something that would last more from plate to mouth, so to speak – something tangible and can be seen by others, and possibly appreciated.

 

The wire comes in 3 different colors and I like this: copper, silver and gold. They are extremely thin: about .4 mm, and it is easy to manipulate to go your way. 

I know the size to be .4, because of the 4 that is has stamped on the front of the reel, so no guessing involved. My daughter and I have used the copper wire to make a simple bracelet last night to see how it would hold up. I used some beads and a clasp, and she tried it on, and it fit. 

Mind you, it isn’t the greatest bracelet, but it was just a test to see how the wiring would hold up. I must say, I like it and can’t wait to use it again for other crafts. Not to mention, what my son will be using it for in his experiments!
