Talking Wire & Beading with Artist Melody MacDuffee

There is a true sentimentality that comes with the sight of falling stars and diamond engagement rings. Each of these precious sights shimmers and blazes a memory into our minds. Meanwhile, only one of the two does not fade away; the engagement ring. This might be a consideration as to why we revere these shimmering works of art and bestow them upon those that we hold most dear.

Every mum dreads baby teething. Teething is when a baby starts to cut his or her first teeth. Serious, painful teething can last for up to a year. This is a very uncomfortable time for the baby because they are in pain that they have not experienced before, and they generally have no idea why.

Jewelry making is the most popular type of jewelry making done at home. You do not have to have a lot of expensive equipment to make necklaces and bracelets from the different beads that are available. It is even possible for children as young as eight years of age to get involved with jewelry making.

Pewter beads are the less expensive items to use when you want a silver spacer, but do not want to pay the sterling silver, or stainless silver prices. Silver beads and spacers can make the difference in a design. Adding just a few strategically placed silver beads can make the entire piece look different.

Once you put “the” ring on it, be prepared to do this over and over again for the rest of your wedded union. Yes, it is true. The engagement ring is just the first in a long line jeweled, gift giving, splendor.
