It enhances women's beauty and marks her status in the society. Nowadays we find jewelry for every occasion like light fashion jewelry for kitty parties and heavy and fuller jewelry for special occasions. Teenagers prefer body jewelry and it's always really very hard to say where to buy and which to choose.

There is no lady who will not love to posses' well-crafted beaded jewelry and if you are also one of them then make your passion work for you and start your new business with beaded jewelry. Just close your eyes and imagine an opportunity which you have been searching for and envision your dreams, It's for sure you would love to work on something which fascinates you.

Everyone knows that women find beaded jewelry irresistible and love to wear it and flaunt it. Women find it suitable to adorn it in every cultural festival. Some people feel and think that such jewelry is not for Men or Kids but that's wrong, as nowadays many fashion houses design various styles for men which they can commonly wear like pearl bracelets or rings. Furthermore, the French have gone ahead and designed beaded jewelry for kids. A good number of French girls often get their ears pierced and wear beaded earrings.

If you wish to cater to young high school kids then Bracelets would be the right choice. It's very easy to make and it takes fewer beads and other supplies as compared to other necklaces. Chokers are also in vogue. And can be a fast seller if made with a bead or pendant strung on leather or rubber cord seller. It's really nippy to make chokers that are less expensive and above all very cool and a craze among the high school crowd; hemp chokers with beads are also popular.

Sterling silver bracelets can add a fresh twist. Shiny round beads create a chic sterling silver bracelet, ready to add a little flash to any look. Many come with a hidden magnetic clasp. Beverly Hills Jewewlers Amanda Jane and Christopher Freville stock many pearl bracelets with a variety of beads. Silver and Gold Mothers name bracelets are a beautiful with the added touch of your child's birthstone.

While these bracelets don't protect from the sun, they give you a good reminder of the sun's strong rays, and to get sunscreen! Our bodies get much of our Vitamin D from the sun. This actually helps protect ourselves from cancerous conditions, However it must be stressed we only need a maximum of fifteen minutes of unprotected sunshine a couple of times per week for our skin to be healthy... but please don't burn yourself!

As a jewelry designer one must not forget the men. You can also indulge in making customer requested jewelry, It may be, a particular kind of ear wire, post earrings, pins, triple strands of beads, certain colors--you'll never know until they ask for it!

History Of Murano Glass Rosary Beads

History Of Murano Glass Rosary Beads
by Beth Guide


Murano Italy, a small town north of Venice, has set the world standard for glasswork and beads, including Murano Rosary Beads, making it the glass capital of the world,. Tracing back to the 9th century, Murano glass and beads have a long history. The artwork, innovation and craftsmanship have grown in tradition though the centuries.

Murano was a large port, along with Venice allowing it to use the glass as a trading state with its is Asian and African neighbors. One of the earliest uses and stories was about how glass was blown into the shape of bottles dating back as far as 1083 and elevated to the glass capital of the world in the 13th century.

In the 1930s there was a distinctive shift in Murano Glass, lead by Ermanno Toso. He changed the focus of the items made to a more modern theme. Murano glass and the island itself has withstood the test of two world wars, and in the 40s was reinvigorated post World War II, making the 1950s one of the more artistically memorable sets of years. Among the artist techniques employed, glass blowers used the technique called filigrana, where the glass blower takes the glass blowing pipe and roll over the canes of glass each a unique striping for the bead. Some beads are straight striped, some are spiral and may then be shaped into balls and teardrop shapes. In modern times the glass created though the 1950s is considered one of the most sought after.

In the late 20th century, the problem of counterfeiting Murano Glass entered the market. Asia was making replicas of the glassware, vases and millefiore, a process where buy an image is placed into the glass rod itself and then becoming part of the blown bead, Prior to 1849, it was called mosaic. Millefiori in Murano beads always contain a very distinctive flower pattern.

In response the Promovetro, or glassmakers consortium, came up with a Murano trademark, a lilac sticker that displays a cana de soffio or glass blowers pipe and the Italian words, Artistic Glass Murano so that it is difficult to copy. This was registered with the European Union.

In 2003 it was necessary for the city of Venice to once again make a new Trademark designed by the French artist, Mathieu Thibautto. This allowed for Murano glass stay exclusive and making counterfeits lacking in the quality and history that Murano glass beads have come to represent.
