Hi,

Been away for a while, had surgery but finally recovering.

I read this article on what colors are being used on the runways this fashion season:

Honeysuckle: bright rosy color
Russett: light brown
Regatta: bright blue
Beeswax: mustard looking
Lavender: light purple

I hope this information on runway colors will inspire you to create something either bold and bright or calming and soothing.

Enjoy....

Sometimes shopping for a bracelet can be a difficult decision. First thing you should think about when purchasing a bracelet is whether it will be worn everyday or only on special occasions. If the bracelet will be worn everyday then it will need to be sturdier and made from quality materials. Special occasion bracelets can have more pizzazz or sparkle therefore more dainty and lightweight.

Bracelets are great gifts that can be treasured for years and can be a glamorous compliment...

Blue - peace, calmness, loyalty
Green - nature, health, healing
Red - intense, passionate
Pink - love, sweetness, romance
Yellow - curiosity, playfulness, cheer
Orange - comfort, creativity, joy
Gold - richness, extravagance, tradition
Purple - royalty, luxury, fantasy
Turquoise - feminine, lively, sophisticated
White - purity, cleanliness, idealism
Brown - tribal, primitive, down to earth
Silver - sleek, galmorous, rich
Grey...

Hi Everyone -

Just got back from vacation. Whew! We had a great time.

I read this information while away and thought you would like it:

Silver Filled (sf) is like gold filled. There is a layer of .925 or better of sterling silver bonded to brass. SF is 10% by weight sterling silver. Silver Filled is thicker than regular silver plate and resembles solid sterling silver. Also, Silver Filled tarnishes less than sterling sliver and cleans up is easier....

I read this information somewhere and thought someone out there might need or be interested in how to stiffen a spiral bracelet or necklace. It is very easy! You can just thread a piece of sterling 14 gauge wire through the bracelet or necklace and add bead caps on the ends and make wire loops where you can place a clasp of your choice. That's it!

I hope you can use this information.
