Re: clasps

Mala.O — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:25:25 GMT

Hi,

Choosing clasps for a bracelet can be tricky or easy - depending upon your experience, intuition, bead weight and ofcourse your customer's preference. As mentioned above, many people prefer clasps that are convenient for their use, but this also has to be done with respect to the beads you are using. For pearls, many designers generally use either the pearl clasps or filigree clasps. Pearl clasps are designed specially for use with pearls. Depending upon the number of strands you have, you can choose the clasp - single strand, double or triple strand.

Magnetic clasps are easy to use, but they come apart easily, especially if you go near metal. Box clasps are better alternatives, as are foldover clasps. These look good with bracelets that can be laid flat not with beaded bracelets. Swivel clasps are also good options - they have metal loops which when attached and closed allow the bracelet to swivel 360 degrees. Tube clasps go well with bracelet cuffs and lobster clasps go well with all - the only problem, not many people find it easy to operate.

Toggle clasps are also used extensively on bracelets.

New stuff =)

Ring Blanks

celebjeweler — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 23:03:12 GMT

Am searching for ring blanks in resin, wood, filigree, 14kgf, vermeil, ss or other to use as the base form for a new design. Surface must be unadorned for addition of other metalwork, Swarovskis, bead/cabachons, cold enamel, etc. Does anyone know where to purchase, preferrably wholesale? Initial order will be small for prototype(s) then quantity is no problem. Thanks

Laura,

Have you considered using a scanner for your photos? Photographing your jewelry so it looks professional and is of good quality can be quite a process. I use a scanner for all my web photos and they quality is simply amazing.

Check it out: www.linnygirldesigns.com

You don't have to be a great photographer to get good photos for your website. Having a little knowlege of software like Photoshop or any kind of photography compuer software is helpful.

Good luck!
