quality necklaces and bracelets well in advance.
You can always give away as presents if they don’t all sell.
Turquoise is
the gemstone for December, but pearls make ideal Christmas presents too – try
combining the two or mixing pearls with silver. All give an air of
sophisticated quality.To read about pearls

How to Make a Beaded
Handbag
1.
Cut a satin cloth
to two 9-inche squares - one for the main bag and the other one
for the lining.
2.
Fold the cloth
and allow a half-inch border for stitching. Use pins to
temporarily fasten the sides.
3.
Start by sewing
the beads into the cloth to match your design.
4.
Then finished,
sew the edges of the cloths together ensuring the stitches are
aligned.
5.
Turn the bag
inside out.
6.
Attach two small metal rings for the straps by sewing them into
the opposing sides of the bag. The strap should have a
comfortable length and be decorated with matching beads.
Sew on two lobster locks at each end.
Turquoise -
December’s gemstone
   
For selling, turquoise
is similar to jade and pearl for the same reasons.
Everyone appreciates it, and the gem always looks good however it’s used.
Turquoise is the birthstone for December.
What is turquoise?
    Turquoise
is a soft, opaque gemstone, formed by volcanic rock reacting to copper deposits
brought by water. Colour ranges from
blue-green, to yellow-green with grey, black or brown veining.
Most non-green turquoise these days is dyed.
As genuine turquoise is expensive, reconstituted turquoise is common -
crafted from real turquoise chips fused with other stones to cut cost.
History
 Turquoise
has been found in 5,000-year-old Egyptian tombs and the Tibetans used it as
currency centuries ago. North Africa and the Middle East hold large deposits,
but most turquoise today originates from Burma and is carved in China. Turquoise
didn’t reach Europe until the crusades when the name originated, meaning
“Turkish stone”.
Benefits
   Ancient doctors thought turquoise prevented injury and ground it into a powder
to cure stomach disorders, internal bleeding, and insect bites. Turquoise has
always been used to protect the wearer from danger, attract wealth, and warn as
a talisman or good luck charm. Some believe it will fade when danger or illness
is near, or a lover is unfaithful. It’s also said to protect against pollution
and strengthen the body.
Looking after
Turquoise is porous, so contact with liquids, oils or even perspiration should
be avoided. This is why it’s often impregnated with plastic, colourless oil or
wax to improve colour and durability.
Jewellery should be removed before washing.
Untreated turquoise will eventually turn green.
There are many different turquoise in the store, see at:

Turquoise
& Pearl
       
      
Turquoise
and pearl go so well together - creating natural, expensive-looking, quality jewellery, ideal for presents. Wrap it in a nice box and try to be present
when it’s opened - that's if you can't resist keeping the piece for yourself!
Turquoise also looks great with red coral, creating jewellery with mystique,
giving a Tibetan effect.
