My niece makes and sells beautiful necklaces but when I ask her to teach me she says she will but never does. Books don't do it for me, I'm a visual person.

I'm cleaning out my deceased grandmother's closet, and found tons of old costume jewelry. Some of it is cheap plastic and going to Goodwill, but some of it is actually nice stuff. I saw an Antiques Roadshow once that said a lot of the old broaches were collector's items and were actually worth money, so the question is, where do I start to try to sell or auction some of it?

There is an organization called the Vintage Fashion and Costume Jewelry association. The members are experts and traders and collectors of vintage costume and fashion jewelry. You might make a good start by contacting them. Maybe someone near you is a member and could help you figure something out. Here is there website.

You might also go to an antiques consignment shop and see about selling it through them. Just be sure to check their reputation carefully before you leave anything with them.

If you've ever been to mexico they sell these bracelets on stands. They're sort of like friendship bracelets but kind of complex. I'm interested in learning to make them to kill time and I think it'd be fun to learn how to make hand made jewelry. So if anybody knows of a book or anything that teaches you how to make them (especially the fabric ones) please let me know.

go to youtube and type in 'friendship bracelet'

I love to make jewellery and would like to use Micro beads to edge / frame pieces of glass, pottery and ceramics. Which type of glue would you suggest to use for this purpose? It will have to be strong enough to adhere to glass, yet not too thick as the micro beads are barely bigger than grains of sand! Am I asking for the impossible here??!!! I look forward to hearing your ideas – many thanks for your time & help with this!

use this link it really works it's pretty cool

I am getting grayish or black marks where I wear the bracelet or ring. What would be the reason that gold jewelry leaves a black mark on skin?

No offense but you are getting those marks because you have cheap gold jewelry. Ask any jeweler, he will tell you the same thing. Stay above 12k gold and you will not have the problem.

Tell him it's a carry over from the farming days. We farmers nose ringed all the hogs and bulls so they could be controlled and led around easier. Reminds me of that every time I see someone with a nose ring.
