Where to Find Handmade Pieces of Jewelry

You can find hand made jewelry practically through any retail store if that is your thing. On the other hand, I prefer to search a bit more thoroughly to find my own jewelry as all retailers ordinarily are not made the same.

As an illustration, if an individual was to go to a high-end French cafe, the individual's entire experience would certainly contrast vastly to one who strolls into a chain restaurant and purchases a item.

In jewelry, there are so many aspects to consider for example , the quality of the material. You don’t want it to deteriorate inside of a couple of days therefore it's essential to be sure it is at least silver plated, which will have a significantly longer longevity compared to something such as brass.

Also a thing to take into account will be the quality of the beads and findings. People would want to ensure there aren't any noticeable obstructions on your beads and that it appears to be in good shape. I would probably furthermore encourage opting for jewelry that was made by hand as opposed to manufactured where they would be much better developed as well as having a higher probability of lasting considerably longer compared to the latter.

Obtaining referrals through close friends and family is likewise ideal and I also recommend you to keep these small establishments going as a result of giving them great testimonials through the grapevine.

Nesby's World of Beaded Jewelry is a fantastic company to get different hand crafted beaded jewelry within a very affordable cost which places an abundance of delight and love in the creation of each and every piece of jewelry which is made. In cases where an individual doesn't have a favorite, I recommend giving them a go. It’s safe, protected, and confidential.  To find them visit www.NesbyWorld.com.

Useful Info about the Hematite Bead

People sometimes ask me why the hematite bead is so popular, so I have decided to put together a post outlining it’s history and basic information.

The hematite bead is comprised of iron and oxygen. The iron aspect is oxidized which prompts the crystalline quality, and the oxygen aspect brings out it’s soothing, healing energy that thus is reflected onto the body when in contact with it.

The look of the hematite bead is a dark opaque type color, however, it also can be found to posses variations of other colors such as silver, and a dark brownish red color.

This mineral has a bit of weight to it due to its magnitude of iron content. The hematite mineral that contains more of the reddish coloration has been know to promote a vital circulatory system along with inspiring the creative nature within a person.

If you happen to be into metaphysics, which I happen to be, the hematite crystals can be a key aid in grounding the energies of a higher magnitude while acting as a powerful bridge that connects the physical and the spiritual realms.

The use of this mineral even goes back to ancient times for various purposes. The polished version was said to provide a calming, soothing influence on our bodies. It also has the ability to dissolve harmful thoughts and undo negative intentions.

Locations such as Quebec, Canada and Lake Superior are prime locations for obtaining this magical mineral if you wanted it from the source. The original form of the mineral errs on the side of being more like a brittle and rusty rock. The process of becoming a bead involves being ground and mixed with a glue type substance that will bind it and it becomes quite hard like a stone. Some people call this form of hematite, hemalyke. It’s virtually the same thing, but in a more finished version.

The bead itself is very durable and versatile, its only weakness, if you had to describe one, would be that it is very sensitive to acid. You will want to ensure that you use only gentle and or mild cleansers when caring for jewelry with these beads on it.

With all this, it is easy to see why the hematite in all it’s forms continues to be so highly regarded throughout the ages and has also become one of my favorite gemstones to work with. I've always found myself very drawn to the energies of the hematite bead and now after reading this article I hope you will too.
