Jewelry is always considered to be a great asset by many people and no matter how elegant an outfit may be, it does not look complete without some piece of jewelry. Diva Bling Jewelry

OK, I found a site that shows 24 ways to wear a 65 inch rope pearl necklace, my favorite being the the doube twist with a portion hanging down (first black dress model). Check out http://www.karipearls.com/rope-pearl-ecklace.html Any idea how to do that???

I agree with JCheek regarding the magazine download. I would be very interested in this especially for back issues. No shipping costs and it is never sold out. I recently just had flooding damage about half my beading magazines of which I consider quite an investment. I also enjoyed this article regarding the versatility of some designs and how many ways to wear it. Love to see more like this!

Jean, just a few years ago, I sold a rope necklace to a good friend. She wore hers with a dress with a low back--backwards! I didn't see it, but she was in awe how pretty it looked. I had added tassels to the ends and that made it even more "sparkly"! Thanks for all the good advice you give.

Hi Jean!!! Thanks for this little article I have a long necklace I had made, specifically as a lariat, but while playing with it, I discovered many different ways to wear it. A couple of your ideas are new to me, but I can at least appreciate the many ways a long "plain" necklace can be worn. This is an incredible article on how such a "simple" piece can become so much more. Don't forget the bracelet way to wear it also. Try the wrap around the arms and also the slave bracelet look. Wrap it aroud a finger and over the back of the hand to the wrist. I love that look. Thank goodness our kids are honest.

Hi, I have a dozen or so necklaces made from seed beads and bugles. I made them all the same length, big enough to go twice around my neck. Lots of different colours so I can pick out what matches or contrasts with what I wear. I generally pick out between four and eight to wear together, but sometimes I wear all of them or just one. I am waiting for an order of beads to turn up tomorrow, so I will be making some more of these as all these ways have now inspired me. Suzy.

Heather, I haven't sold anything on Etsy, but to price my things for any auction, I do some shopping first. I look at what other similar pieces are going for, and compare my detail & quality to come up with a good guess. For shipping, I really like the post office's small flat rate box. It's always $3.50 to send, and the box is free and doesn't require a bunch of tape. You can do extras like insurance and tracking at the customer's request - so it doesn't need to be estimated. I have a friend that pre-boxes everything he puts on auction with the auction number written on the end of the box. This way it's ready to go, and doesn't accidentally get sold twice (he does a lot of volume). Good luck! Mary

Hi Jean, I love your newsletters! I am setting up a shop on Etsy to sell my jewelry and other fiber art. Any helpful suggestions about pricing and how to estimate shipping would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Heather

As an elementary teacher and a beadworker, I heartily approve of your method of keeping your daughter busy... sometimes the simplest "toys" are the very best! Bethany

Make your rope 100 inches long and wear it as a belt in several different ways according to your waist size :) Donna

If your strand is continuous, hold each end and twist. Place around the neck and insert a 1 inch diameter clasp or brooch to hook the two ends together. Depending on the length of your strand determines if you get a choker (too short will obviously not work) or longer neck piece. Combine multiple strands and twist can be very interesting.

Dear Jean, i just feel i have to say hello, i am editor of Czech beading magazine "Koralki" and I am working on the spring issue. I am sitting in my home office, while my daughter Emma is in her bed, barking like a seal... it is very nice to realize that at the other side of the world is somebody in so very similar situation :) thank you for the idea how to keep barking Emmas busy and concerning the plain necklace, you can even use it as a christmas decoration, wrapping it around the christmas tree.
