Wood is a very versatile medium. I especially like it when it’s used in jewelry. Wood beads are great to work with. These days they come in a variety of shapes and vibrant colors. I love using them in my handmade beaded jewelry.imgp2896.JPGimgp2894.JPGimgp2892.JPG

Now that it’s Summer, arms and legs are exposed. Why not show off your legs with a nice anklet. They come in all colors, many designs, and made with a variety of materials. I’ve had some folk tell me anklets make their legs look sexy.imgp2518.JPGimgp2520.JPG

Handmade Beaded Earrings

Handmade Beaded EarringsI love beaded jewelries, most specially those that are made of crystal beads. I also believe that every color of these precious beads has its own significance and alter-effects to the person who wears it.  Like for instance the rose quarts which signify and attracts love. So it is said that single women who wants to attract the possibility of love should wear any form of jewelry made of rose quarts.

I bought myself these handmade beaded earrings made of rose quarts, but honestly not just to attract love but also for the reason that I love wearing and it seems to add a certain feeling of extra confidence in myself.

Handmade beaded jewelryWhen shopping for jewelries, I always go for uniqueness and quality just like what this online store offers. I love their selection of handmade beaded jewelry; they have an extraordinary kind of elegance and distinct style that separates them from other jewelries.

Since it is handmade, their jewelries can be custom-made to match your preference. Some of their jewelries come in matching sets, and some are beautiful enough to wear just as one.

I love anklets!

beaded anklets

And now I can buy as many as I Want without having to worry about a credit card bill showing up.  I could easily spend hundreds on these in the mall or even in local jewelry stores, but it’s definitely good that I don’t have to.  The quality is unquestionable and uncompromising and the prces are just a big bonus.

 Not to mention, beaded anklets are almost impossible to find in the first place.  The few jewelers and dealers that do sell them know that they can mark them up pretty high because they’re not that easy to find.  But now thanks to you guys at Gifted Hands that’s no longer a concern for me.  Great designs, great products and great work!

New Beaded Jewelry

beaded necklaces

I never knew that top-quality handmade jewelry could be so affordable.  This new necklace is amazing.  I love the contrasting colors the most.  The way they blend really gives the necklace a unique character that you don’t find on any other kind of jewelry.  The stuff at the mall is all stock and it’s way overpriced.  What’s more, it sn’t even that attractive.

I’ve always thought jewelry was supposed to be at least a little noticeable so that it was complementary of whatever you happened to bee wearing.  It’s good to know I have options.  When it comes to beaded necklaces and even bracelets and earrings your selection is hands down one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Coral and Turquoise necklaceToday was dark , dreary and rainy. I decided it was a blue day, I was in a B mood so I decided to bead. I made a blue handmade beaded necklace with one of my favorite beads TURQUOISE. But not to be too blue I added a touch of spice with some coral.

 

 

What is an Anklet?

Wondering what to do with your Beaded Ankletsbeaded anklets?

An anklet, ankle chain, or ankle bracelet, is an ornament worn around the ankle. Anklets historically have been worn for centuries by unmarried women in India, though in the United States both casual and more formal anklets became fashionable in the late twentieth century. While in western popular culture both younger men and women may wear casual leather anklets, they are more popular among women, and more formal anklets (silver, gold, beads) are almost exclusively confined to women’s fashion.

Anklets can be made of silver, gold, and other less precious metals as well as leather, plastic, nylon and other such materials. In the western world anklets or ankle chains are mainly worn by younger females, but some older women also wear them.

Metal anklets are of two types - flexible and inflexible. The flexible ones, often called pajeb or jhanjhar in India, are made by tying links in a chain. Subsequently, sonorous bells can be attached to the chain, so that the wearer can make pleasing sounds while walking. Inflexible ones are usually created by giving shape to a flat metal sheet.

Most anklets seem to be worn on the right ankle. Perhaps this is due to more people being right-handed. Although in eastern cultures, anklets are worn on both ankles.
