Years ago when I was more actively selling my jewelry, I also used to sell finished silver jewelry to help subsidize my inventory. I lived in Orlando at the time, and the Blake Brother’s warehouse was just a short drive from where I worked. (I had discovered them at a wholesale jewelry show).

The Land of Odds has announced that it’s narrowed down the competition now to ten semi-finalists for its Ugly Necklace Contest:
Who will win? We need the public’s help to influence our panel of judges. Should the student’s to do list set an uglier standard than the art student’s supply list? Whose romantic break-up resulted in […]

In my continued hunt for unusual jewelry supplies, I took a look at the Equatoria World web site recently. Unfortunately, you don’t get to see much other than a kind of cool gallery of finished jewelry because their catalog requires registration. I didn’t register; maybe I will at some point, but one thing I did […]
The African Trade Beads web site offers a peek into how Kiffa beads are made. They includes some great pictures and a nice story about the family who has made these beads for many generations. Kiffa beads are colorful and the work that goes into each one is amazing.
