How can I get my hemp necklaces to stop stinking? They smell bad.?

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

I have these pretty hemp necklaces and they smell bad and I was wondering if there is a way I can get them to stop smelling bad. I wove most of them myself. Any ideas? Thanks.

soak them if they are up to it. With soap and water or detergent

How bad is it for non-Christians in the "Bible Belt" of America?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I’m not Christian and I don’t like the religion much at all but I don’t go around knocking it every chance I get but if I got preached to I would be a little blunt. How would I fare in this part in America? What would happen if I wore a necklace of another religion’s symbol (i.e. not a cross)? I’ve just heard rumours about this part of the world and want to hear what some Americans might say to this.

I lived in Oklahoma for a year in a small town (population roughly 20,000). I was a pagan when I lived there, and I often wore a pentacle necklace. Some people asked me about it, but in all, I wasn’t treated that badly. There were no burning crosses left in my front yard or anything like that. I got along with my neighbors, though I’m sure they wondered about the suspicious smells coming from my apartment (I lived in a quad-plex type thing). I got along with most of my coworkers, who knew about my faith, and was even invited many times to hang out with them after work, or to a club on the weekends.

One of my managers was gay, and he was treated a lot worse than I was. But, after a couple weeks, most everyone followed me in accepting him. He lived with his boyfriend, even, and several of us got to where we’d go to their house after work for beer and movies. It was fine.

I think it all depends on a person’s attitude and exactly where they’re living in the "Bible Belt." Some places are more tolerant than others. The place I lived was pretty tolerant, though I did get strange looks every now and then.

About how much gold (weight) is in a standard ring with one diamond/gem?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Trying to get an idea of how much jewelry it would take to get an ounce of gold. If you know about how many standard or average gold chains from necklaces and bracelets – it would take to get an ounce of gold – would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your help!

Rings and specially necklaces can vary a lot in weight, so any number I could tell you would be just a guess.

You could search online for one that is similar to the one you have and check it’s weight.

Anyone know how to untangle chain necklaces?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

I had about 25 chain necklaces, with different pendants on each one ,in a jewelery drawer, nicely laid out. The drawer fell on the floor, when I opened it to get one out and they instantly got entangled.

As mentioned, a good pin and a lot of patience is your best bet. I would try and work in sections and continue the next day when you start to get tired.

How do I make charms for necklaces/bracelets etc.?

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

like what material would I use to make it with,were can I get said material.

when i say charms on necklaces/bracelets i mean like little ornament things that go on necklaces and bracelets.
y’know?

If you’re interested in "charms" made from polymer clay (and most homemade charms you see are probably made from polymer clay, though they could literally be made from anything at all), check out at least these pages at my polymer clay "encyclopedia" site for lessons, examples, tips, etc:

http://glassattic.com/polymer/pendants_cording.htm (there click on the category for how to attach and "dangle" the charms you make from necklaces/bracelets/etc that’s called Loops & Holes for Cording… the most common way uses eye pins and jump rings, so click on "Top Loops" for those)

Where can i buy a stand that i could hang my long necklaces on?

Monday, December 7th, 2009

I have loads of long costume necklaces (heavy) and nowhere to store them. They just keep getting tangled up and i forget to wear them with not being able to see them on display. I am looking for some sort of stand / ornament that i could drape my necklaces around without them getting tangled. Could anybody point me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance!

urban outfitters has jewelry stands. For a cheaper alternative get a thin piece of wood, some nails that are the same size, hit them in a straight line and you’re finished. You could even spray paint the nails a different color if you want.
