I am falling in love with the world of beads. I think I saved over 20 websites just about buying beads. At first finding these websites it was very overwhelming and I was thinking I was getting into something way over my head. I went to this one website called Stateside Bead Supply for some Magnetic Hematite Beads. I got more excited going through all the different colors and different shapes. I wanted to pull out my credit card and buy up all these beautiful beads and then I realized I don't have a book to learn how to make jewelry. I think I should wait until I know from a book and make sure when I do finally start making bracelets that they stay together. That would be funny not knowing how to keep a bracelet from falling apart. I really like the pink pearl beads and another one I like is the Preciosa Bohemian Cut Crystals like the Bicones. So beautiful colors and shapes. I have so many ideas and color combinations my head is spinning. I like the colors pink, blues and purples with the black or silver Hematite beads. They stand out so much. I like the magnetic strands bracelets because if you get bored with it as a bracelet you can unwind the strand and make a necklace from it or wrap it around your ankle. It's so versatile and you can change it up a little. I like the 3 tier wrap bracelets but unfortunately these bracelets don't unwind so it's what it is. My idea's for these bracelets are the same as the the magnetic strained bracelets but this Hematite bead is not magnetic. With the regular Hematite beads you basically only have a few options with color but the different shapes are amazing. I like the Swirl, Tube, and Drum shape style beads. These shapes give the bracelets some depth and I find these styles more unique than just the round beads.
WARNING: People with a pacemaker should not wear magnetic jewelry! Pregnant women should consult a physician before wearing magnetic items.
The only problem with my jewelry pieces they are not for everyone. It's a little disappointing but that's what I get for picking a bead I really love. Maybe down the road I'll find another stone bead I like just as much as the Hematite beads. Well I have a lot of research to do and reading to do before I jump into this project. I want to be prepared before I just jump into making jewelry. I think if I jumped into making pieces then I'm sure to get overwhelmed plus I want to find the right store for the best prices. I think the hubby would appreciate me finding the best deals on the good beads then spending a fortune right away and giving the hubby a heartache with a huge bill...lol
