Sequin Tops

SequinsIs it ok for a bigger girl to wear a sequin top?

I am attending a Christmas party next month and have contemplated wearing a sequin top underneath a bolero jacket, (a short cut open jacket). My questions is, can big girls wear sequin tops without looking like a giant walking disco ball? (I am proportionate, just a large proportionate)

I dont think anyone regardless of size should wear sequined tops…but I think i know the kind of shirt your talking about and with a jacket it will be cute, so yes go for it =)

The advent of beads in jewelry-making has brought about nothing short of a revolution. No fashionable trinket is complete these days without some beads stitched on. To satisfy the growing demand, beads come in a range of colors, sizes, shapes, and motifs.

If you are thinking of making your own beaded jewelry and are wondering where to start, here is a guide to some of todayÂ’s most popular types of beads:

  • Seed beads: Tiny beads capable of producing a detailed and fine design.
  • Metal beads: Sterling silver, gold, platinum or bronze-plated beads are best for lending a metallic shimmer to bead jewelry. Brass and nickel beads can also add brilliance to any jewelry item. If you want to try something wild, experiment with pewter bead ornaments which mainly display animal, skull and flower motifs.
  • Cut beads: They are bigger sized beads, which can only be sewed on using a sinew.
  • Crow or pony: Similar to seed beads, but larger in size.
  • Charlotte: Opaque, round, true-cut beads with fewer facets. They are extremely rare in the market.
  • Bugle beads: Small tubular beads, used for a variety of decorations.
  • Plastic beads: Inexpensive alternatives to glass beads.
  • Glass and crystal beads: Crystal beads lend more dazzle and sparkle to your jewelry than any other beads, and crystal beads are highly cherished. The major name in this segment, boasting the finest cut and purity, is Swarovski crystal beads. A Swarovski crystal can be a good facelift for any traditional jewelry. But if you donÂ’t mind compromising on quality you can go for glass crystals, which are less expensive. Both glass crystal beads come in a spectrum of colors like turquoise, pink, cobalt, black, green etc.
  • Bone beads: Meant for fashion lovers with ethnic and tribal tastes. These beads are made from bones of mammals and birds etc to reflect a tribal affinity.
  • Clay beads: Though called clay beads, they are not solely made from clay. Clay beads originate from a combination of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a color pigment and a product that gives it a plastic-like texture. Bead jewelry made of clay beads reflects a special earth tone, which is best suited for summer or fall designs. Moreover, clay beads are usually not in the hefty prices category and are affordable to the general crowd.

Given such variety, are you surprised that beads have become the most innovative forms of expression for a whole bunch of creative souls?

How do you make silver and or gold wrapped quartz crystal jewelry?

I was wondering how to make quartz crystal jewelry because i think t would be a good business idea because where im moving i would have an abundance of crystal. I was wondering how to make the silver and gold wrapped pendants and earrings. Also any other crystal jewelry that you may know how to make. Thanks for the help. I am fifteen and trying to find a niche for a teen business. I will appreciate any help you give me.

Hi,

Ok im not sure how you put stones in it. But there are some art stores and art supply places online that you can buy this clay from. Its not really clay, its silver or gold but in malleable form. So basically you can shape it , you would clay, and then just heat it using a butane burner or what not, then you use a wire brush, and its like 99.9% pure silver or yellow gold. Dont throw the scraps away…. the clay is expensive, and plus, the left over silver or gold scraps you can sell to a jeweler, because its basically pure silver or gold. SO i hope this helps…

ART CLAY WORLD (artclayworld.com) sells some called art clay.

you would really like this…its has tips and techniques on how to use it to make jewerly pieces. Like how to attach stones, and fire it. :)

Can someone identify this Swarovski necklace?

I need to know the item number.

I have tried Swarovski, the collectors society, looking it up online, everything-but no luck.

Please help me.

I would go to a Swarovski store (if there is one near you) and ask them. I did that for a pair of earrings I got there. You should tell them the year/date you got it too. It’s a very beautiful necklace.
