How to layer MY PEACE of jewelry - African Brass Ring Necklaces

African Brass Rings


These brass rings were used as currency by the Yoruba people of Nigeria, from the late 
1800's to the early 1900's. They were originally braided onto a leather belt, and traded this way.
Each ring is individually made, using the ancient lost wax casting method, and no two rings are exactly alike.

    Die Ringe sind wunderschön Zalina. Noch schöner, da sie eine eigene Geschichte besitzen.
    Alles Gute im Neuen Jahr für Dich!

    Wonderful! You look beautiful ... love that soft gray with the hint of heather in it ... and of course your necklace is beautiful, especially because it is your creation.
    Isn't it wonderful to touch and wear something so truly old and meaningful? I have some very, very old Roman era bronze rings ... they're so brittle that they're impossible to wear, and completely oxidized. Perhaps I'll figure out a way some day!
    Have a dazzling 2014!
    PS. Who'se the guy? Hmmmm?

      Thank you! You should put your bronze rings on chains. It's very easy. The guy is my brother. :) My "little" brother.

MANNEQUIN - DIY

Image
UPDATE a/o May 2012 Because I love to work with my hands and create a variety of things. I thought I could make my own mannequins.  I used the paper mache' technique to make my mine. See below for step by step on how to make your own WO-MANNEQUIN Materials : Grocery bags, wallpaper paste and tape. Tools required: brush, box cutter, plastic wrap Grocery bags Bags from my local store Wallpaper paste (premixed) purchased from hardware store Boxcutter purchased from hardware store Method : Papier-mâché technique What is Papier-mâché? It's French for chewed-up paper due to it's appearance. In this case, torn-up appearance. I used a main mannequin as the frame to create MY PEACE of JEWELRY WO-MANNEQUINs.

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities
