I did promise you more HEART designs this month. Hopefully, this should top you up with inspiration to enable you to create something traditionally heart shaped and uniquely special in time for St.Valentine's next month ... This style of design is a great way of using up left-over beads. You can create a frame in any size you wish, depending on how much wire you use and load it with colourful beads (just like colouring in!!). 0.8mm (20-gauge) or 1 mm (14-gauge) wire is just right for the frame. 1. Cut the length desired and fold in half, ensuring the projecting wires are running straight and parallel. 2. Use a cylindrical mandrel (such as a pen, if it's a small frame) and bend the projecting wires around to create the 'shoulders' of the heart. Straighten the projecting wires down the centre of the frame. 3. Create a small coil (that is wide enough to thread through both wires - just like a jump ring coil) and thread this onto the end of the projecting wires. Using your round nosed pliers, create links with the cut ends. Alternatively, you could thread the wires through large hole bead instead of a wire coil. 4. Hold each of the circular links in your flat nosed pliers and create spirals, curling the wires up (in opposite directions) towards the top of the heart. This is not mandatory! But if you're a hammer- head like me, hammer the top 'shoulders' of the frame to work harden it - but avoid touching the central coil! Now you're ready to start beading! Using 0.4mm wire you can wire a selection of beads into the frame, filling it up with colour and texture! Have fun trying!! Here's a brooch a created in a similar way (although without the central coil). There's no end to variations and styles! You can also bind on shapes within the frame and add a spot of colour through the addition of a bead. Just play around with the wire and you'll probably come up with something unique and interesting! Small heart motifs look great on handbag charms - here's something I designed for my latest WEDDING book. Did you know that Rose Quartz was the stone of LURVE! You might have seen this tutorial already - as it was a Christmas project, although, it could be suitable for a wedding theme too. However, why not have a go at binding the frame with colourful beads to see how different it can look! You could always get your JIG out and have a go at making a shape to wire within a heart frame. You might also have seen this design before in Make Jewellery magazine ... I created 2 versions with red and pink beads using black iron wire on a 'Vintage' Valentine theme. I even made a heart shaped ring to match! Here's my PUFF HEART! Any coloured wire can be used and beads can also be woven in if desired. THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH INSPIRATION FOR ONE BLOGGING! PLEASE DO POST YOUR HEART DESIGNS ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE TO SHARE!

Salt water and chlorine can damage your jewelry. Chlorine can damage and discolor metals that are alloyed with the gold and can slowly erode the finish and polish of gemstones.Also, lotions and sprays create a film on the jewelry, making it dull and dingy. To keep any tarnish or wear from setting in, take a soft, damp cleaning cloth and gently wipe off the surfaces of the jewelry, being sure to get in all the nooks and crannies. Keep jewelry dry. Moisture is the main factor that speeds up the tarnishing process. Store different types of jewelry separately. We recommend using a Ziploc or sandwich bag with the air squeezed out to prevent oxidization. Thank you!

What I love about this simple and dainty diamond ring stack is that it is oh so wearable. You don't have to worry as much about banging it up because it sits so flush to your finger. It is the perfect wedding set for someone who isn't after something super flashy and in your face and would prefer a ring that is dainty and subtle. Like a little flash of sparkle on your finger, still so beautiful and unique but not over the top. A ring set like this is a great starting point for building a stack off of too! Because the bands are dainty and delicate you can easily add additional rings to celebrate anniversaries, children's births, or rings just because you like them! The options are endless with this simple diamond ring set and the great part about it is it won't break the bank.
