A. When I took my jewellry on holiday one year, I ended up having to spend time trying to untangle my necklaces after I put them together. So the next time, I got a few small plastic bags and put a necklace in each one and then put them together. So they can't tangle with each other then.

How to clean cheap costume jewelry made of metal? Is there a way to clean costume jewelry or a cleaner?
Q. My sister unearthed a bunch of old 1980's cheap costume jewelry that is made of various types of cheap metal. Is there a way to clean costume jewelry or is there a costume jewelry cleaner I can buy? I'd prefer NOT to buy something.

A. Yes,I know the method because i have done that rightly! You don't need to spend tons of money on expensive cleaners to remove tarnish from your costume jewelry, when you can use toothpaste? Most costly costumer cleaners include a mixture of baking soda and water, which is similar the formulas used in most tubes of toothpaste. Not only will using toothpaste save you money, it is also non-toxic and easy to clean up. Steps: 1. Choose the right toothpaste. The key to using toothpaste as a costume jewelry cleaner is the baking soda. Do not use gel toothpaste, as it usually does not contain baking soda. And, avoid toothpastes that boast tartar-control or whitening power, as they may include chemicals that can harm your silver. 2. Use a… [cont.]

What type of jewelry is best for a belly button piercing?
Q. I have had my belly button pierced for 2 years and all of a sudden it's getting itchy and uncomfortable and I think it may have something to do with the jewelry. I honestly don't know what it is, can't be great though cuz it was less than $20. It's beginning to get a little dark (the piercing). If I change the jewelry will that help the darkness go away?
Asked by sweetheart4 - Tue Dec 9 18:35:26 2008 - - 4 Answers - 2 Comments
A. You need to remove your current piercing and retire it:) Let your belly button heal and clean it. Upgrade to a surgical steel belly button ring or 14k gold (Not Plated). Good Luck!

A. Well, it may be just a little bit early for a ring, but what's most important is the way you feel about her. I think a necklace would probably be the most appropriate and safest bet at this time. The ring can come later! There's always Valentines Day and her birthday down the road. Good luck!

What jewelry do they ususally pierce the tragus with?
Q. When they pierce the tragus, what jewelry do they use? Is it always with a hoop, or could I get it pierced with a diamon stud? I want to get my tragus done but I don't want the hoop, I want the stud. Thanks!
Asked by anna couture - Fri Nov 13 01:14:49 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Most common jewelry is either a ring or a short bar, or stud as you call it. Whichever jewelry you ultimately want, it's better to heal with a straight or slightly curved bar initially regardless. Your piercer will measure to work out the best bar length for you. You can then put a gem stud on the outer side of the bar, and a flat back on the inside, just like you would for a labret piercing. You might have to buy a smaller bar once the initial swelling has gone to give a snug fit, especially if you use earphones. A tip for fast healing of any cartilage piercing: find a piercer who can do the piercing with a dermal/biopsy punch. This removes the cartilage altogether rather than pushing out on it, and means your piercing should heal in a… [cont.]

What jewelry is used in a vertical labret piercing?
Q. I know you need a curved barbell, but the only kind I see is for eyebrows. Is this the same jewelry? Can I buy an eyebrow ring for a replacement vertical labret barbell?
Asked by bighpfan073180 - Mon Nov 27 23:43:52 2006 - - 1 Answers - 3 Comments
A. Its the same, yes. Unless your lip is uncommonly thick, many types of standard size eyebrow barbells will fit perfectly! Typically you should also stay with the same gauge you were pierced with, most commonly a 16 gauge. You may also have to search for different lengths.

What jewelry has the highest resale amount?
Q. I know jewelry is not a way to make money as far as reselling it. With that said what types of jewelry gets the most amount back if it does come to selling it? Gold, silver, diamonds? Type of jewelry - rings or bracelets?
Asked by atsun1741 - Mon Aug 18 22:47:58 2008 - - 3 Answers - 2 Comments
A. In my opinion, jewelry that is made entirely out of gold, 18K or better, will sell the best. The problem is that jewelry often sells for several times the worth of the gold in it. So you start pretty deep in the hole. Bullion coins, like Krugerrands or Pandas, sell much closer to the price of gold, and will appreciate more. Grandpa

Q for jewelry makers: How do they put holes in really tiny beads?

Asked by Antique Silver Buttons - Sat Sep 8 23:40:02 2007 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. They are drillied with diamond bits, usually before they are rolled into beads. They cut cylinders, drill them and then cut and tumbled into beads. Some finer pieces are individually jug drilled. Remember that the holes are rough insie usually, that is why they will cut normal thread etc. ENJOY!! Been doing lapidary work many years

What is the difference between resin and epoxy jewelry?
Q. I know there is epoxy resin jewelry, but is there pure resin jewelry that you pour into models? And for epoxy jewelry, do you use only epoxy or do you have to mix stuff with it?
Asked by miss - Sun Nov 15 21:56:40 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. First, I think you meant to pour resin into *molds* --not models in your second option, right? People tend to throw the word "resin" around a lot without really explaining *which* resin they're using, and not realizing there's a lot of difference in them. For example, there are clear resins and colored resins, there are epoxy resins and polyester resins (both used for crafts, or somewhat lower quality ones used for fiberglass, etc), and there are even soft-setting epoxy resins called "floral setting resins" or sometimes "artificial water" to use inside glass vases, etc. If you're looking for a clear resin for making jewelry, you're probably wanting either a craft-type epoxy resin (like Envirotex Lite) or a craft-type polyester resin ( [cont.]

A. Do you already have your business name? Shop around and see what other handmade jewelry looks like, as well as how much it is selling for. You want to make sure that you are pricing your product properly, and make sure that it is marketable. How is your jewelry different than others(this is what you should ask and answer yourself)? After that, I would look into a resellers license. From that point, I would create my own contract(you can find consignment contract forms online),this is for small shops. Then,after that with business cards, brochures (all made at home or Vista Print) market your product and approach shops about your product. As you go, you will learn more. Write down your goals and you can accomplish them!! Hope this helps.. [cont.]

A. Precious metal jewelry must be stamped with the metal hallmark and the manufacturer sign/logo/stamp. Look for this sign with a magnifier glass and take a photo of the sign using maximal zoom possible. Ask the question again, pointing to the photo at the rec.crafts.jewelry usenet group: Many US and international professionals are on this group. If this is a well known manufacturer, some might recognize the sign. Good luck, Sarit.

What is a good jewelry brand that I can buy for my girlfriend?
Q. We will be going on 4 months when Christmas comes around. I have pretty much made up my mind that I am getting her jewelry.
