DIY - Do it yourself
Perfect Gemstone necklaces on steel wire

Today, gemstone necklaces are often strung on a nylon coated steel wire. In addition to the strength, this method has the advantage that the gemstone beads follow each other directly, i.e. without a distance by a knot.
 
Here we restrict ourselves the aspect of crimp and covering beads.
The whole instruction you may find here, after Login.

Crimp beads

are practical but not very nice. With the help of a crimp plier you notch the bead into a V-shape. Subsequently with a flat plier you fold the two flanks of the "V" together.
 

 

Now the crimp bead has become small  The metal is pushing into the nylon coating of the wire and holds it tightly. Now you hide the little squeezed thing under a covering bead.
 

 

This is a far bigger silver bead with a big hole that fits over the squeezed bead and the steel wire loop.
At the top you can see the result. A professional closure for a gemstone necklace.
 
 
 

Jewellery from your favourite place Today: Germany

 

 

Also geologically, Germany is a wonderful country. Three main areas can be distinguished:
  • North German lowlands – with pebbles from Scandinavia, which were transported there by glaciers.
  • Low-mountain belt – with an abundance of rocks dating back far beyond the dinosaur age to the earths early stages.
 
  • Alpine foothills and Alps – with young rocks pressed from a coral sea to a high mountain range.
Take a journey through our country. Give yourself or your loved ones an authentic souvenir from your favourite region.

Here is an example, a flintstone from Bavaria.

Today: "Headpins"
 
Headpins are silver wire pins with ball, eyelet or plate. They are indispensable helpers for many areas of application.
 
They are particularly useful for earrings. With a little skill you can easily make your own eyepins out of silver wire.

Eyepin

DIY - Do it yourself with headpins

Right: Self-turned spiral that prevents the rock from falling off. Bottom: A particularly stable eyelet is created by letting the bent end of the wire protrude and wrapping it around the pin.
2 last pictures: With a little skill a double eyelet is created, which provides more stability.
 

As a tool you need a side cutter for shortening the wire and indespenibly a round or pointed pliers
for beautifully shaped results.

We found tow nice videos:

 

Moonstone

Characteristic is the shimmer reminiscent of the moonlight.
By the kind of shimmer, you can tell if a stone is a moonstone or not. If the shimmer is
• monochrome, in the colour of the stone or bluish, and
• moves across the stone linearly fading towards the outside
you might have a moonstone in front of you.
If the shimmer is stronger blue, ending more sharply, disappears suddenly when moving the stone, it might be a white labradorite. This White Labradorite is commonly called “Rainbow Moonstone”, which is not entirely correct. But after all, Moonstones and Labradorites are close relatives of the feldspar family.
Bernhard Bruder wrote an excellent explanation in this respect “Feldspar – Like Sun and Moon”, which we are happy to share.

Today: "Folding bead"

 
Folding beads are an ingenious helper in making gemstone necklaces. There are folding beads with and without eyelets. The first one you need when making a closure. At the end of a necklace there are often knots or crimp beads that you would like to conceal.

 

 
 
 
You can easily do this by folding a bead around it. Sometimes knots or crimp beads are also located within a string. If you want to hide them, the folding bead without eyelet is the appropriate choice.

Folding bead with eyelet

Also available gold plated

DIY - Folding beads in operation

 
On the first picture you see a crimp bead that has just been notched and is now being squeezed. A folding bead without an eyelet could be used here, because a closed ring has already been incorporated into the steel wire.
Below you see three strings of steel wire connected with a squeeze bead. ...

Now a folding bead with an eyelet is folded over it. Please mind: Do not fold the folding bead with solely one time pressing, but proceed step by step, repositioning the pliers several times to influence the direction.

To avoid any pressure marks on the folding ball, you can glue some leather on the jaws.

 

 
 

Birthstone April:

According to ancient tradition, the rock crystal and the diamond have a particularly positive and protective effect on those born in April. This led to the idea that these stones would bring good luck to anybody in April.

Two crystal clear stones symbolic for April, that can only be related to the end of winter.
 

Rock Crystal

This fits in with the idea of the ancient Greeks that the rock crystal is ice so deep frozen that it will never melt again. The clarity of the rock crystal accentuates, reflects and enhances the colours of spring.
 
 
 

Diamond

In this sense, however, the diamond sets unbeatable standards. It is the mineral with the highest refraction of light.
What would be the difference if you grind a rock crystal like a typical diamond – in a brilliant cut – and hold it next to a diamond?

The rock crystal would partly reflect the colors of the surroundings and mainly sparkle white. Very nice!

But the diamond would show its typical fire, so it would sparkle in all rainbow colors. This is because it breaks incoming light like no other gemstone and reflects it in the spectral colors.
 

Freshly arrived

 
Look out! Some items have been unavailable for a long time. Now a lot is back and a lot is new.
Just for your information: our supply chains work. Only freight costs have almost doubled.
 

Strands, bracelets

Especially gemstone strands and bracelets with round beads from 2 to 10 mm. Note the new bracelets with a diameter of 3 mm – a very popular width.

Silver chains

Despite rising silver costs still at old prices.
 
 
 
 
 
 

What is actually the difference between

Shungite & Elite Shungite ?
 
Shungite is a rock that consists of 50 to 80% carbon. The rest are converted, former plant remains. Elite shungite is almost pure carbon with up to 99%. This is topped only by the diamond with 100% pure carbon.

Shungites are said to have strong positive health effects in traditional medicine.
For this, you should accept that a slight black abrasion may occur when wearing. So better with jewellery not in combination with white.
 
 
We keep a close eye on the price of silver. The increase is still limited, silver has increased by 16% in the last three months. So far, we’re catching it. (Source, 15.4.22: finanzen. net)
