Why Chainmaille Jewelry Craft
Jewelry is very prevalent, but jewelry that directly
compliments your personal style or makes your statement for you
perfectly is not prevalent. Find out some ways this is so with
chainmaille jewelry. Discover a craft that ends up as a fine
bracelet you will treasure for a long time to come.
1. It is a thrill to make your own jewelry
You will be walking on air after your first successful
chainmaille jewelry project. Why? Because there are few things
that can compare to making something precious with your own
hands. The excellent results you achieve will bounce back to you
every time you notice your new chainmaille bracelet. It will be
even greater when a friend notices your handiwork.
2. There is no other kind of jewelry that is so simple to make
but so professional looking
There simply is not another kind of handmade jewelry that
yields such great results. There is no complicated soldering or
equipment necessary. You do not need a jeweler's shop to make
this kind of jewelry. You need only pliers, jump rings, and good
instructions. This jewelry will last a lifetime and take only a
few hours to make.
3. Save yourself a lot of money
When you make your own chainmaille jewelry you save because
you do not have to pay for the labor. You do this part yourself.
But since you make jewelry for your friends, to sell or for
yourself it is fun and does not feel laborious. You think of how
happy your fine piece of jewelry will make someone and the labor
becomes pleasant anticipation.
4. Stress relieving "meditation"
Your day is filled with unpredictability and many times
stress. There is so much multi-tasking these days. When you make
your own chainmaille jewelry you essentially are putting links
together. You start with a few links and a pattern. You watch it
grow and see your progress immediately. Seeing the repeating
pattern get longer is great therapy. Since there is a little
predictability here you are soothed and relaxed. Your simple
jewelry project just made you feel better about your day. You can
cherish the thought that, "I can wear this great thing I
made."
5. Nourish your creative side
Making your own jewelry is much like play for a kid. The risks
are small, nothing is expected, no boss will critique you, no
pressure to make a deadline, you are set. These are "hot house"
conditions for creative jewelry making. Experiment, try this new
craft, making your own chainmaille jewelry. What is there to
loose?
6. Finally make your chain jewelry just the way you like
it
Tired of mass produced jewelry? Sure mass produced makes sense
with automobiles and DVD players, but jewelry is different.
Jewelry is the most personal statement you make in what you wear.
It has to fit you, physically, but more so it has to speak about
something you care about or something that makes sense to you. If
you make your own chainmaille jewelry, which is a perfect medium
to make quality jewelry, you can have it just the way you want
it. You decide everything. How long, how thick, how heavy, how
thin, or lacey, how wild, how conservative, in short, it is up to
you.
Using modestly priced sterling silver jump rings you will be
able to make stunning high end jewelry that rivals Tiffany's. The
trick is in the patterns and the consistency you achieve in your
chainmaille jewelry. At http://www.culturejewelry.com
we offer a world class how to e-book you can download today. Find
out how to make your own great jewelry now.
Matthew Woodbury, author and jewelry designer, comes from a
family of jewelers, artists, writers, and engineers going back
155 years. He is showing how all that is necessary to put culture
back into jewelry is to use your hands.
