What are good places to sell back your Jewelry in Hanford or Lemoore California?

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

I have a jade elephant necklace that I have absolutely no use for and wish to get rid of it, so I was wondering if anyone knew of jewelry places that will buy back this necklace in Hanford or Lemoore California. Preferably if they will give you cash for it and not store credit.

You would get more money for it on Craig's List.

How can i make a really wide friendship bracelet?

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

I can make bracelets pretty easy, and am getting better at the different knots, but i am having a hard time getting the bracelet to stay flat. It seems the wider i go, the more curved it becomes. I was taught to tie each know pretty tight, and have tried to loosen them as its gets wider. Does anyone have any pointers?

When knotting your bracelet don't pull to tight that will do that also here is a website that could help
Just sine up and they can really help you

what colour beads were used to make necklaces in ancient Egypt?

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

For a school project, we have to make an ancient Egyptian artifact. do you think a necklace with a cartouche on it is a good idea? i also need to know what coloured beads they used, and how big/small they were. btw, we have to make it as close as possible as the way the ancient Egyptians did it. tips would be helpful!
:)

The Egyptians were talented glass blowers and very skilled potters. They could, and did, make beads in almost every color of the rainbow. They also made beads from gold.
The beads ranged in size from smaller than a pea to the size of a walnut.
It's going to be difficult for you to make it the way the ancient Egyptians did, but instead of using clay, glazing and firing the beads, you can use papier mache – tear up newspaper into small strips, add water, then mix a little salt and flour into it until it becomes workable.
Form the beads around drinking straws (once the beads are dry and you have painted them with poster paint or whatever kind of paint you wish, you will cut the straws apart to release the beads and each bead will be hollow in the middle so you can thread it on a string.
To make metal beads, you can roll strips of aluminum foil around the straws. None of this is authentic, but it will give you Egyptian style beads.
You can also get some jelly beans or gummy bears and, using a darning needle and heavy thread, string them to make beads.
They often wove the beads together to make a neckpiece, rather than a single strand necklace. It would extend fromt the neck to the shoulder and was a dramatic piece of jewelry.

I would like to buy nice 18 k gold jewelry for a good price?

Where should I travel to dubai or turkey

Be careful in the Grand Baazar though, sometimes they use plated materials or lead fillers.

I usually go to a shop, find the deal, leave, and come back. Dubai might be a tad overpriced.

Oh one really good haggle tip is to pretend you have to call your wife and make sure the shop owner hears you negotiating and her "telling" you he is charging too much
