Organic seeds in jewelry. The idea struck me as odd when I first heard of it, but then I remembered teaching classes of school children how to string dried beans to make necklaces and bracelets. The beans were not organic seed, and the string was mere cotton twine, so the results were rough and un-wearable. Nevertheless, mothers did wear them out of love for their children, and the children had fun making them.

Using organic seeds in jewelry crafting is now an art, with a few artisans learning to incorporate organic seeds into jewelry with beads and other materials.

Beans are Great Organic Seeds for Jewelry

Most of the organic seeds used in jewelry are beans. There are several reasons for this.

1. Beans naturally have beautiful patterns and colors.
2. Beans dry naturally, and retain their shape when dried.
3. Beans will not shrivel up in use.
4. Bean jewelry will last indefinitely, with proper care.

Bean Varieties

Black beans are great organic seeds to use in jewelry. Although their names include the word “black” as in Black Nightfall, black beans are not entirely jet black. These beans exhibit shades of black, gray, brown, and ivory. The swirls of color seem to shimmer when the beans are separated by small glass beads or silver metal.

Red beans are another good organic seed choice for use in making jewelry. Those with red and scarlet in the name may be predominantly deep reddish brown, or they may be half beige, half deep red, like the Red Calypso bean. The Red Calypso makes intriguing organic seed jewelry, since its even division of color becomes wavy lines in a necklace or bracelet.

Paint Dry beans are a good choice or organic seeds for summer jewelry. The light tan and off-white coloration appears cool, and would complement light summer colors and fabrics.

Green Flagolet beans are another good summer choice. The green in these organic seeds is pale and cool-looking. When set off with glass beads of deeper greens, the organic seeds look almost like ivory beans.

For organic seeds that look like polished stones in jewelry, the Tiger Eye bean is a good choice. It looks very like a tiger eye rock.

Other Organic Seeds

While beans are the most common of the organic seeds used in jewelry, some artisans use dried corn as well. Red, gold, orange, green, and gray hues appear in dried corn. Interspersed with gleaming metals and glass beads, these pieces often have a harvest glow.

Other organic seeds that might be used successfully include watermelon seed, squash seed, pumpkin seed, and other large vegetable seeds.

Use Your Own Organic Seeds in Jewelry

If you decide to use organic seeds in making jewelry, you will need to prepare your seeds following these steps.

1. Wash the seeds thoroughly, and let them dry.
2. Buff each seed with a soft cloth.
3. Make holes in the seeds, taking care not to break them.
4. Apply a clear, protective coating inside and out to preserve the seeds.

Once you have prepared your seeds, use them as you would use any bead in making jewelry. In fact, if you teach school, why not make truly wearable jewelry with your students by using prepared organic seeds?

Advantages of Using Organic Seeds in Jewelry

My research reveals only one advantage of using organic seeds to make jewelry, and that is the “green” factor. Organic seeds incorporated into jewelry can be presented as an “eco-friendly” gift.

All the jewelry I wear gives me a rash.” Can you relate to this statement? This allergic reaction to some metals is commonly referred to as dermatitis. The Nickel found in many types of jewelry is the cause of most forms of dermatitis. Allergies to Nickel are quite widespread. Nearly one in seven people experience an allergic reaction to Nickel. Women suffer more than men from Nickel allergies. This is probably due to the fact that more women wear jewelry then men, so they are more exposed to jewelry with Nickel content. So what types of jewelry metals should one avoid if they are allergic to Nickel?

Let’s firs take a look at Gold jewelry. Generally, jewelry made from yellow Gold (14 karat and above) usually doesn’t cause Dermatitis. However, white Gold may. White Gold contains Nickel and other “white” metals to produce its Silver coloring. One out of every nine people will react to the Nickel in white Gold. Another form of Gold jewelry is Gold-filled or “GF” jewelry. Gold-filled jewelry metal is created when a base metal is coated with a layer of Gold. This results in a much thicker layer of Gold in relation to Gold-plate jewelry. With Gold-filled jewelry, the amount of Gold contained in the jewelry is between 75-200 times higher in Gold content than in that of Gold-plated products.

For those that love the look of White Gold, but have allergies, Fine Silver or Sterling Silver is a great alternative. Fine Silver is by definition 99.9% pure Silver. Normally, jewelry is generally not made of Fine Silver because the metal is extremely soft and does not withstand normal wear and tear well. In general, most Silver jewelry is made from Sterling Silver. By definition, Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure Silver. Copper makes up the remaining 7.5%. To make the Silver more durable, Copper is alloyed with pure Silver. Since Copper is normally used, Sterling Silver is a great metal for Nickel allergic people. By law, all Sterling Silver must by hallmarked with a .925 symbol. This marking is common on manufactured pieces, but may not be present on artisan jewelry.

Another great choice of metal to consider if you have Nickel allergies, is Copper. Most Copper jewelry doesn’t contain Nickel and is made with 100% Copper. Surgical or Stainless Steel is commonly used in jewelry. As the name implies, Surgical Stainless Steel was designed to be used in the human body. Conversely, Nickel is used in Stainless Steel making up to as much as 8 to 12% of the alloy. People with sensitive skin should avoid Stainless Steel in that it does contain a high percentage of Nickel. Another choice “white” metal for those that suffer with Dermatitis is Platinum. It contains no Nickel and is chiefly composed of 95% Platinum and 5% Iridium. The last of the “safe” metals is Titanium. Titanium is a great metal for jewelry – it’s both hypoallergenic and durable. For those that suffer from Nickel allergies, Titanium jewelry is a sure bet.

Please be aware of these types of jewelry and metals when shopping if you commonly have skin problems. Nickel is frequently used to make Costume and Fashion jewelry. Fashion or Costume Jewelry typically contains high quantities of Nickel or German Silver. German Silver does not contain any Silver. In fact, “Silver” only refers to the color of the metal, and is no way related to metal compostion. The “Silver” appearance of German Silver is a result of melting Nickel, lead, zinc, or tin during the alloying process. If your are concerned that your jewelry may contain Nickel, the best way to determine this would be to buy a test kit available online. By asking a few questions and doing a little research upfront, you can save both time and money, and still allow be able to wear fashionable jewelry.

Making Fork Jewelry: How To Make Amazingly Unique Fork Bracelets and Necklaces by art jeweler Maryanne Cherubino is one of those rare pieces of jewelry instruction that offers something truly unique and inspiring to jewelry making enthusiasts.

Unlike many video instructions available today, Making Fork Jewelry shows you something that you can absolutely get up and do as soon as you finish the video…regardless of whether you’ve made jewelry before or not. It’s just that simple, fast and well, doable.

This quick jewelry making instructional DVD takes roughly an hour to watch and that’s probably why you could make fork jewelry right after watching it. It’s that thorough and full proof.

The video of Making Fork Jewelry starts up with a run through of the simple tools you’ll need to complete a piece of fork jewelry. Ms. Cherubino also provides information on where to get those necessary tools and chats casually about how to use these tools along with some added commentary about why you use which tools for what and why. Nice touches throughout the video and helpful as well.

Ms. Cherubino deftly walks you through the entire process of making two fork bracelets and a neckpiece so if you miss anything early on in the process, she catches you up again. It’s easy to see that she cares that you learn all the details about making fork jewelry well and thoroughly.

As a metalsmith, I’d assumed that you’d need to anneal (heat) the forks which would soften the metal. So I was surprised to see that heating isn’t necessary. Maryann shows you exactly how she bends the forks with ease without the need for any heating in the process.

So what will you get with this DVD? You’ll start out getting the tools explanation I mentioned above. Next, you’ll see Maryanne make a complete fork bracelet from start to finish: hammering the fork, polishing it, bending the tines of the fork. Then she’s grinding off sharp edges, shaping the fork into a bracelet and adding the stone or piece of glass as your centerpiece. Then she’ll do it all over again making another bracelet. Then she’ll change the process a bit and show you how to make a necklace instead of a bracelet.

Another advantage to watching this video is that if you’re considering expanding your jewelry making skills into metalsmithing (fabricating your own jewelry from scratch) you’ll get a jump start here. You’ll learn some of the essentials of working with metal for jewelry making like grinding down sharp edges and polishing your pieces.

All of that’s to say that what you get with the DVD, Making Fork Jewelry: How To Make Amazingly Unique Fork Bracelets and Necklaces is a thorough and complete education on how to make fork jewelry (without annealing) and how to do it well. While there are other jewelry types like rings that can also be made from forks or spoons, it’s fairly easy to extrapolate making those as well from this video.

The luster of pearl jewelry is without a doubt charming. No matter if it is a pearl necklace or maybe a pair of pearl earrings, you can’t help but appreciate their gleam. If you’ve paid for your own pearl jewelry or just accepted the piece to be a gift, it’s important to look after it to be certain it lasts a lifetime.

The Thickness of Pearl Jewelry
Diamonds, that have been compacted for eons deep within the world, happen to be the hardest gem stone in the earth. Pearls, conversely, are actually grown inside shells of oysters. These kinds of creatures of the sea manufacture the actual nacre of the pearl, the lustrous coating that provides pearls its luminosity. Unlike expensive diamonds, pearls tend to be tender, so you want to take the measures essential to continue to keep these kinds of gems appearing their finest.

Pearl Jewelry Is not for every Event
Even though a straightforward gold wedding wedding ring could stand up to the rigors associated with working together with your hands, your pearl band isn’t going to. The same remains accurate for your favorite pearl necklace along with pearl earrings. So usually do not have on your pearls while you engage in physical work, work in the backyard, or work out at the fitness center. The soil and sweat will shorten the life to your pearl jewelry. Likewise, whilst the pearls are derived from the water, that doesn’t mean that your pearl jewelry is going to survive whenever you swim in the ocean, surf, or scuba dive. Pearls certainly aren’t required to be closed away and work only for special occasions, but you should be careful that yout pearls are not ruined by the weather.

Chemical substances Can be Dangerous to Pearl Jewelry
As some people are sensitive to preservatives, pearl jewelry is often “hypersensitive” to hairsprays, fragrances, and ointments. The harmful chemicals confined in many of these solutions – even those identified as “herbal” – can easily shorten the life expectancy of the pearls. This is not to say that you ought to form your hair or apply your fragrance in case you’re going to put on your pearls. Rather, keep the “last on, first off” guideline at heart. When you find yourself dressing, your jewelry should be the very last item you put on, just before you head out the door. Whenever you come back, your pearl jewelry should come off first, prior to deciding to kick off your heels and relax for the night. By using this tip, you’ll reduce your pearl jewelry’s exposure to chemical substances and lengthen the life of your jewelry.

Keeping Pearl Jewelry Nice and Clean
Similar to all jewelry, pearl jewelry becomes filthy over time. You may softly clean your piece yourself using a a little wet fluffy clean pad. It truly is essential that you avoid any sort of scrubbing equipment, similar to a sponge as well as a tooth brush, and that you avoid using soap or detergent. After cleansing, place your pearls on a fresh, tender cloth to be able to dry.
It’s also possible to have your pearl jewelry professionally cleaned. Many jewelry retailers which are dedicated to pearl jewelry provide cleaning services for Akoya pearls, Tahitian pearls, and freshwater pearls of every color – such as white, pink, and black pearls.

Re-Stringing Pearl Necklaces
When you’ve got an Akoya pearl necklace, a Tahitian pearl necklace, or a freshwater pearl necklace, and you wear it on a regular basis, it really is wise to replace the silk string just about every few years. Re-stringing your own pearl necklace helps ensure that it is not going to bust and you won’t lose one or more pearls.

Posted: Jun 7th, 2012 New twist on old chemical process could boost energy efficiency ( Nanowerk News ) Chemical reactions on the surface of metal oxides, such astitanium dioxide and zinc oxide, are important for applicationssuch as solar cells that convert the sun’s energy to electricity.Now University of Washington scientists have found that apreviously unappreciated aspect of those reactions could be key indeveloping more efficient energy systems. Such systems could include, for example, solar cells that wouldproduce more electricity from the sun’s rays, or hydrogen fuelcells efficient enough for use in automobiles, said James Mayer, aUW chemistry professor. “As we think about building a better energy future, we have todevelop more efficient ways to convert chemical energy intoelectrical energy and vice versa,” said Mayer, the correspondingauthor of a paper about the discovery in the June 8 edition of Science ( “Titanium and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Are Proton-CoupledElectron Transfer Agents” ). This image from an electron microscope shows a coated titaniumdioxide nanocrystal. (Image: Joel Schrauben/James Mayer) Chemical reactions that change the oxidation state of molecules onthe surface of metal oxides historically have been seen as atransfer solely of electrons.

The new research shows that, at leastin some reactions, the transfer process includes coupled electronsand protons. “Research and manufacturing have grown up around models in whichelectrons moved but not atoms,” Mayer said. The new paper proposesa different model for certain kinds of processes, a perspectivethat could lead to new avenues of investigation, he said. “In principle this is a path toward more efficient energyutilization.” Coupling the transfer of electrons with the transfer of protonscould help reduce the energy barriers to chemical reactionsimportant in many technologies. For example, using solar energy tomake fuels such as hydrogen requires that electrons and protons becoupled. d.

The new perspective also could be important for photocatalyticchemical processes, including those designed for wastewaterremediation or to create self-cleaning surfaces, such as theoutside of buildings in areas with heavy industrial air pollution. The research focused specifically on nanoparticles, measured inbillionths of a meter, of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Titaniumdioxide is the most common white pigment, used in paints, coatings,plastics, sunscreen and other materials. Zinc oxide also is used inpigments, coatings and sunscreens, as well as white athletic tape,and also is used in the manufacture of rubber, concrete and othermaterials.

Nanocrystals were used to closely examine chemicalprocesses at the material’s surface. Mayer said the goal of the work is to get those working in varioustechnological areas involving metal oxides to think in differentways about how those technologies work and how to make them moreefficient. The work also could prove important in finding more efficient waysto fuel vehicles of the future, he said. Fuel cells, for example,transform atmospheric oxygen into water by adding both electronsand protons. Coupling those added electrons and protons could makefuel cells more efficient and allow replacement of costly materialssuch as platinum.

“Chemical fuels are very useful, and they’re not going away,” Mayersaid. “But how do we utilize them better in a non-fossil-fuelworld?”.

years Cartier – Cartier, the French company is without question one of the most spectacular and prestigious luxury jewelers in the world.
Cartier stands for tradition, luxury and quality, and also for its classic timeless design and its well-considered decisions. So if Cartier brings out a new luxury line, then we can be sure that this is precisely thought out.

In 1847 Louis-Francois Cartier took over the jewelry studio of his master, Adolphe Picard in the Rue Montorgueil No. 29 in Paris, which laid the foundation for the Cartier jewelry empire.
To keep the family tradition alive, Louis-Francois Cartier continued his craft to his son, Louis-Francois Cartier, Alfred in 1874 and gave him the jewelry line. Alfred appoints first turn, shortly after his eldest son with partner, years later, and all three sons.
The quality and skill of Cartier’s jewelry was his instantly popularity. It did not take two generations to Cartier who received great reputation worldwide. This was the future king of England, the Prince of Wales again underlined by Cartier to “Jeweler of Kings, King of Jewelers” said.

In 1997, Cartier celebrated its 150th anniversary. Because this anniversary was extra at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the British Museum in London, the retrospective “Cartier 1900 -1939” was issued.
1998 is the oldest and most famous, or even all Cartier’s first wristwatch, the “Santos”, proven by a new version with Chrono Reflex factory honor. This model was originally created in 1904 by Cartier for his friend to the aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont and in 1978 it was ultimately designed.
Also in 1998, he created an exceptional Cartier watch collection, the “Collection Privee Cartier Paris.” Cartier is committed to still maintain the myth of Cartier, created by an extensive archive and thus gradually buy back its historic gems.

Last year, Cartier brought his most famous classic luxury, the ring-Trinit (Trinity-ring) to new life. The advertising campaign is to attract young people to explore the sensual nature of the symbolic power of the ring again. Cartier is responding to the loss of image the ring by the numerous imitations of this happened on the black market.
Originally the ring was designed by Louis Cartier in 1924 for his friend, the writer Jean Cocteau.
