A New Chapter in My Life

hey guys, i'm VERY new at this, so bear with me, alrite. to all my frens that have been wondering what i've been up to since my degree, this is it... making jewelry! most of u already know that i've always been in love with bracelets, so what better idea than making my own, kan? kan? and now, i even sell them, ehem, ehem.

i like to incorporate different types of beads in my designs, mainly semi precious stones such as aquamarine, turquoise, different quartz etc; crystals, mainly swarovski; pearls; shells and glass beads. NO plastic beads!!!!! coz i personally think they don't go well with the other types, eheh.

so why don't we start off by learning more on the Properties of Gemstones first...
