Beautiful Bracelet with Pearls Pearls & more Pearls

I love freshwater pearls and these days the possibilities are endless with freshwater pearls! You can get them in any shape or color. My favorite shape is keshi, which look kinda like fruity pebbles. Lately I have been making bracelets that involve a lot of pearls. I pick a color, then vary the shades and shapes to make a charm-like bracelet. I hand string freshwater pearls with swarovski crystals onto antique copper and brass headpins and wrap em up tight! Then I painstakingly open and close chain links and indivually add one pearl at a time. I try to throw in a glass or gemstone briolette here and there.

To finish it off I add a toggle clasp. This clasp here is an antique coppper flower toggle clasp that I import for Istanbal, Turkey! To veiw more pics of this bracelet head over to my etsy store at GeishaCreations.etsy.com

Waves of crystal and aquamarine bracelet

Continuing with the aquamarine jewelry care tips, here we go:

• Aquamarine fades with prolonged exposure to light, so that should be avoided as much as possible and it should be stored away from sunlight.
• It has very good hardness and is durable enough, but still can develop internal cracks if knocked hard. Larger gemstone Jewelry should be worn with care.
• It needs to be cleaned regularly, to retain its brilliance. It can loose luster, with deposits of dirt and oil on surface.
• You can use normal soapy water to clean it and dry it with a soft clean cloth. Use of hash chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning should be avoided.
• Extreme temperature can cause damage to jewelry, so it should be stored in a cool dry place.

Thats all from this series on Aquamarine, we would be coming up with a new stone soon for next month. You can email us your suggestions to info@jewelstruck.com, if you want any gemstone to be chosen in particular. Till then, keep rocking!
