Coin jewelry designs are endless |
| 12/6/2009 6:06:36 PM |
I remember when I was about 10 years old, I had a coin belt. I wore it around my sweaters at the waist and I loved it. The coins weren’t real, but it looked real. It was very unusual, but I remember other girls wearing similar coin jewelry accessories too. That was definitely costume jewelry. Coin jewelry now are made of real coins. You can have necklaces, pendants, rings,... Read More |

| 12/6/2009 1:17:56 PM |
 There are all sorts of holiday traditions this time of the year. The most common for me being the creation of candy laden gingerbread houses, stringing up Christmas lights and hanging custom made stockings. The other night I went over to a friend’s house who was having a dinner party. I got there a bit earlier then other people to help with the cooking. When I got there,... Read More |

Handcrafted Jewelry is Fun to Wear! |
| 12/6/2009 8:59:43 AM |
I like handcrafted jewelry because often they are one of a kind pieces. I enjoy going to art fairs and looking at all the pretty beads, coins and leather used in handcrafted jewelry. This is where I find most of my handmade jewelry.
One fair produced a very unique coin necklace that I really like. It is made with three coins spaced and separated with a knotted piece of... Read More |

My Daughter's Handcrafted Jewelry |
| 11/5/2009 2:32:38 PM |
Ever since my daughter was young she had a thing for jewelry. Not really an uncommon situation for little girls. Her grandparents helped to establish her love for jewelry by overindulging her with bracelets, necklaces, head bands and rings. I can't even keep track of how many jewelry making kits she received as she was growing up. She seemed to have a natural liking and... Read More |

Handcrafted jewelry decisions |

 My brother was over my place the other day and he asked me to help him decide on some handcrafted jewelry for his long-time girlfriend. I was touched that he asked for my opinion and excited because I love to look at handcrafted jewelry. There is such a personal touch in giving unique handcrafted jewelry. I am also into supporting our creative artists. He showed me online... Read More

I Adore Handcrafted Jewelry |
| 10/17/2009 4:42:15 PM |
I love handcrafted jewelry because you're essentially looking at the product of someone's energy, creativity and hard work. Although mass produced costume jewelry can be attractive and chic, handcrafted jewelry often gets the little tiny details right. It's the details that really show off the quality of an item which can help elevate it into the status of a work of art.
I... Read More |

Handmade Jewelry made with Beads and more Beads! |
| 10/16/2009 4:03:37 PM |
Don't you love the look and feel of beads? I sure do and always have! It is a joy to work with an assortment of beads and create handmade jewelry. I have a special area in my craft room for beading. I have so many little cubbies that hold my collection of beads. Along with the beads are the rest of the crafting materials such as wire, string, clasps and spacers. This work... Read More |

Coin Necklaces Make a Cool Fashion Statement |
| 9/22/2009 7:49:25 AM |
 Coin necklaces make a cool fashion statement. Right now coin jewelry of all kinds is very fashionable to wear. Each piece of handcrafted jewelry made using coins is unique, which many people find desirable. I know I love to wear unique jewelry, not something that can be picked up at the local retail store. I don't want to look like every other person on the street. I... Read More

 Loden and Cream Cuff w/brass
There are too many positive things to list when thinking about how much more informative, easy, entertaining and wonderful life is because of the web. It could be that I grew up with the rise of surfing the internet and still have the sound of dial up stuck in my head but there are so many random niches, markets, interests, products and hobbies...

Handmade Jewelry Takes a Special Talent |
| 9/18/2009 4:31:00 PM |
 I think there are two kinds of people in the world: those who are great with arts and crafts and those who end up with glue all over the fingers, paint on the shirt and a product that looks like a first grader with ADD made it. I fall in the latter which is a reason I appreciate handmade jewelry so much. Being able to have a bunch of materials like beads, leather, string,... Read More |

Childhood Coin Necklace Never Looked this Historic |
| 9/18/2009 4:06:28 PM |
 Back in elementary school, one of the arts and crafts teachers held a class I remember to this day because my mom saved the coin necklace. She brought all us little kids together and set 12 inches of thick black thread and a handful of coins with little holes through the top portion she said she drilled at her workshop on a desk. They were meant to be good luck necklaces.... Read More |

The Story Behind Vintage Handcrafted Jewelry |
| 9/18/2009 3:00:54 PM |
 I think some things such as handcrafted jewelry are best kept under lock and key, only to be taken out on those very special occasions. This is really true when looking at coin jewelry. The majority of coin jewelry I have seen online features faded bronze, gold or silver coins from a time past. Being that I have scuffed up just about every single piece of jewelry ever... Read More |

So Much More Value with Handmade Jewelry |
| 9/18/2009 2:47:21 PM |
 Before I researched the intricacies of watch making, I never understood how something, which basically just told time, could cost upwards of 10,000 dollars from some brands. Then I found out some of the best watches in the world take many months to make. Looking at how many gears and small connectors all to be placed exactly perfect under a magnifying glass gave me a new... Read More |

 My best friend makes a lot of handmade jewelry; but, she is still a novice. Therefore, she loves to find designer jewelry and make something similar herself. I went online recently and found a great internet store that carried handmade jewelry. The designers were well known for their handcrafted jewelry, and the prices were within her budget. Seeing a picture is one... Read More |

Creating Luck with a Coin Necklace |
| 9/18/2009 2:36:02 PM |
 It is amazing how much artisanship went into the details embedded on the front and back of old coins. Just check out the picture of the Polish coin above. There is some serious detail in a silver coin, which probably doesn’t have to high of a value. I’m pretty sure the Polish coin in the picture above is not that old of a template. Go back thousands of years and those... Read More |

Coin Jewelry is the Most Creative Thing Seen All Day |
| 9/18/2009 1:24:08 PM |
 The biggest plus to having unique, handcrafted jewelry is the craftsmanship. There is so much more value associated with something that wasn’t put together by a machine on an assembly line. Mass produced products are great for certain goods but when it comes to jewelry or other clothing accessories it’s always better to be unique. Speaking of unique jewelry, I had never... Read More |
