Why are necklaces made from aluminum?

Asked by Wiki User

Necklacesweren't always made out of beads. Some back in the Egyptian ages were made out of gold and jewels. Beads were discovered when Indians made rocks with holes in the middle and painted them. And so now we have a different version because of the materials we have now.

Not always although they should be. I have seen many that have not been. Also even though an item is stamped that does not always mean it is gold.

What do you use for the string in beaded necklaces?

User Avatar

Asked by Deb

Necklace StringMost beaders use Nymo nylon beading thread in the size that corresponds to the type of beads used (seed beads, hex, pony beads, etc).

Anything one might need or want relating to beading and jewelry making including free patterns and instructions can be found at Fire Mountain Gems which is, IMO. the best wholesaler of beads, gems, jewelry findings, finished products, and so forth.

C-Lon, is also popular.

For heavier threaded bead necklaces, tigertail is often used; it is a thread made up of strands of stainless steel and coated. Softflex is a common brand.

There is also elastic or tiger tail

Not all beading wire is created equal. I suggest getting samples of the wire you are interested in and figuring out which one works best for you.

I use Fireline or Wildfire, it's made by Beadalon and cannot be torn, snagged or cut untless you physically use a pair of scissors. It has a breaking weight but as you're only going to be beading with it, that's of little consequence

As a teacher of beaded jewellery, I have to agree with the last answer. Fireline and Wildfire are brilliant, although I do use C-lon for delicate work.

How do you get green off neck from necklaces?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is certain types of metals that react with your skin to cause the green discoloration. Gold or white gold will not discolor, but they are expensive. For the costume necklaces you get at places like Claire's or Icing, you can do a few things. You can paint it with a thin coating of clear nail polish. Wear the necklace for short periods of time. Take it off when you go to bed, and don't wear it swimming or in the shower.

How do you dry buckeyes for necklaces?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ahhh good question! Buckeyes fresh from the nut shell or fresh off the tree will mold if not dried completely. I have use the oven...low setting 250 and let em sit on a rack for 4 hours. However, sun drying is the best. Lay buckeyes out on some type of cloth, single layer, in the sun for at least 5 to 7 days. (thats full sun days, not cloudy overcast days) Your biggest enemy at this time is squirrels. They can and will rob you blind if nuts are accessible. I tend to lay them out in the morning and gather them up and take in the house at night. A fresh buckeye will be somewhat "oily" to the look and feel. Some even sweat a bit. A good dried buckeye will not have that "oily" feel.

Once dried, you may want to spray them with a clear coat finish of some kind. This will prevent them from dulling and looking worn if makeing jewerly. Hope this helps.

How do you fix a necklace?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best option to do would be to take it to the nearest Jeweler otherwise you will break it even more.

If there is a small break then you can even check the videos on YouTube and try to fix it. You can even read certain blogs written by the fashion experts and they will tell about the fixing. If you have purchased the designer necklace online then you can also contact to that seller so that he can provide you an idea of fixing it.

If the necklace can't be repaired and looking shabby after the repairing being done or it is costing much more in repairing then instead of wasting money in that you can even buy new and trendy necklaces from Fortrove.com or any other jewelry store you can have a look.

Why does your silver necklace tarnish within a few hours?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Silver tarnishes because it reacts to the sulfur/hydrogen sulfur in the air. I assume that if the necklace is tarnishing so quickly it likely means that there is an unusual amount of sulfur or hydrogen sulfur in the air or, more likely, the reactant in the silver that causes ir to tarnish is found in an unusually high amount in that particular piece of jewellery.

Asked by Wiki User

The cheapest Swarovski crystal necklace available online will change from day to day depending on listings, but the best place to look would be for used items on sites like eBay and Craigslist. For the absolute rock bottom price it is probably better to look in local yard sales, flea markets and thrift shops, as there will be no shipping charges added.

Why do baseball players wear the braided rope necklaces?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Baseball players are notoriously superstitious. They'll wear the same underwear for months without laundering if they believe it will help their game in some way.

Think of Dumbo, and the "magic feather" that helped him fly. Completely useless, but it was a crutch that helped Dumbo's confidence. Same with these necklaces.
