Trifari "Jewels of India" Beaded Bracelet
NWS 8-1247
~ This gorgeous bracelet is part of the famous Trifari series, "Jewels of India", created in the early 1960's (the advertisement above comes from the magazine, "Harper's Bazaar", October, 1965) by Trifari's master designer, Alfred Philippe
~ The central motif, or top, of the bracelet has been thickly plated with faux gold, which forms the perfect background for the crystals
~ The design includes 12 faceted, faux gemstones that have been bezel-set into the goldtone metal; they include faux rubies, sapphires and emeralds cut into pear shapes.
~ At the center of the bracelet is one huge, faux emerald cabochon that has been prong-set into the goldtone metal. Deep within this stone are swirls of pale, gauze-like glass, making it look like a gemstone with natural veins; there is nothing like this in any other costume jewelry that I know of, except this famous Trifari series.
~ The top of this bracelet is also covered with pavé-set, faux diamonds - crystals of the finest quality and brilliance - that are faceted and reflect light in a million directions. This is nothing less than a spectacular work of art!
~ The bracelet measures 7.25" long and the top measures 1.25" widest. The bracelet is comprised of 2 strands of faceted, faux emerald crystals and has a jewel-studded, folding clasp so it is disguised underneath the design!
~ Anyone who knows Trifari knows that the coveted "Jewels of India" series is one of their most famous collections, highly sought after and regarded as a collector's "dream find"!
c. 1960, in near mint condition, no missing stones and no wear to the gold plating; all stones are original and all are perfect!

Wooden Beaded Jewelry |
For the most part when people see some of the wooden jewelry styles it makes them think of the Indian Tribal Accessories that the women used to wear. These items are so nice because they go with just about everything. You can wear them daily.

This is also something that has been seen in Indian Tribal Jewelry, this recently became a huge item to many people. My favorite thing about Turquoise Jewelry is that it goes great with jeans. That is something that many people wear all the time, and with a turquoise accessory, you can't go wrong.
Plastic Wooden Beaded Jewelry |
So many times people make imitation Wooden Jewelry, there is nothing wrong with that, in many ways it is good. You see sometimes depending on what type of wood is used in the real wooden jewelry it can be better to buy the plastic type. It is all what you prefer.

Honestly, it looks just like the real thing! It is just a bit less expensive. In the plastic turquoise beaded jewelry you can get so many different colors out of the plastic than the real thing.

Handcrafted Bracelets - What's In A Name? (unique beaded bracelets)
(unique beaded bracelets)
Handmade bracelets always have their own uniqueness and individuality. Unlike bracelets made on a large scale where there are a lot of identical designs, with handcrafted bracelets every piece made is different and distinct from the other. (unique beaded bracelets) A handcrafted bracelet gives that personal touch and the person wearing it is aware that the piece is one of a kind. Handcrafted bracelets can be given on any occasion, be it on a birthday or as a Christmas gift. (unique beaded bracelets) Made to order or hand crafted bracelets make superb presents to give away at Christmas. Gifting a loved one a tailor made handcrafted bracelet is an excellent idea. There are a lot of things that you have to bear in mind before you set out to buy handcrafted bracelets. (unique beaded bracelets)
The first and foremost thing is that you must think about all the parts that are used to create the bracelet. (unique beaded bracelets) If you are looking out for an excellent quality bracelet, you must make it a point that genuine silver or gold-filled beads are used in the bracelet. If the cost appears to be somewhat too hard to resist, you can almost certainly take for granted that genuine silver and gold-filled beads are not used. (unique beaded bracelets)
The next thing that you need to do is observe the size of the beads used. There are some bracelets that are known as 'name' bracelets (unique beaded bracelets) . These bracelets include blocks or beads that have alphabets etched on them. (unique beaded bracelets) A bracelet that has the letters spelling out mother or grandmother must have the bigger 5.6 mm letter blocks. This size is best suited for the wrist of an adult.

Beading Tips - For Easy And Fun Beading Projects (unique beaded bracelets)
Cut enough string (unique beaded bracelets)
If you are going to use knots, then cut the string 4 times longer than finished project plus a few extra inches, otherwise 2 times longer. Also you can fold your string twice or even four times, to make it stronger. This is particularly true if you use heavy glass beads and large beads.
String color is important (unique beaded bracelets)
Your don't always have to use white string, buy a string that matches the color of your beads for this project. If you can't find a string in that particular shade, take a white one and dye it, any permanent marker would do the job.
Be careful - strings stretch (unique beaded bracelets)
In my first beaded necklaces I always had this problem - you finish a necklace, than after a day of wearing it the string stretches and beads are no longer tight together, looks awful. To avoid this, after all the beads are on, hang your necklace for a day or so, than do the final knotting or attach clasps.
Secure the ends (unique beaded bracelets)
Final knots are important, it is best to use square knots and tighten them firmly. Then apply some jewelers glue to your knots and only after that cut the loose ends
Be kind to your eyes (unique beaded bracelets)
Beading for several hours can give you a bad eye strain, especially if you are working with seed beads. So always have a good light on, a desk lamp is best. Another useful tool would be a magnifying glass. It will also help keep your project neat and avoid small mistakes.
Happy beading!

Beading Tips - For Easy And Fun Beading Projects (unique beaded bracelets)
Space your beads (unique beaded bracelets)
Some types of beads especially semi-precious, Swarovski, glass and pearl beads require a spacer between them. You have two options - make a simple knot between your beads, or insert a decorative spacer. I prefer spacers, because they make the design more interesting. It is best to use silver or gold spacers with expensive beads - they won't loose the shine as they age.(unique beaded bracelets)
Use a beading board (unique beaded bracelets)
Before putting your beads on a wire lay them out on a jewelry layout board. You can buy these boards in any shop that sells, craft supplies, beads and beading tools. The board lets you see, how your design will work before you connect everything. If you don't have a board, use a plain light bath towel, so your beads don't scatter.(unique beaded bracelets)
Don't let your beads roll (unique beaded bracelets)
Even if you use a beading board, it is a good idea to cover the table you work on with a towel. Beads rolling all over the table can drive you crazy, but a towel will prevent it. Also, if you have a cat, cover your work with another towel, if you leave even for a few minutes. My cat can destroy hours of work in less then 30 seconds.(unique beaded bracelets)

Beading Is Still A Hot Craft And Hobby (unique beaded bracelets)
