Make a $3,000 Ruby and Sapphire Necklace for $200!
In this economy (or any economy, really) people are desperate to become more frugal while keeping their lifestyle, or at least some semblance of it. One area where people are cutting back is in their high-end jewelry: they’re buying less and less of it. But just because you don’t want to shell out the three large to buy that stunning ruby and sapphire necklace you saw at Neiman Marcus doesn’t mean you can’t have it. A bargain can be found in your local bead store.
It’s a well-kept secret that many local jewelry designers don’t want you to know. You can buy all the parts for that exact same necklace and put it together yourself for less than $200 bucks.
Sure, you have to make it yourself, but the outcome is the same: you have a ruby and sapphire necklace.
Specifically, you’ll need a roll of beading wire—sometimes called tiger tail—($2.00), a set of gold or gold-filled clasps ($12.00), two Crimp Beads ($.25), a pair of pliers for crimping ($10.00), two gold, 4mm spacer beads ($4.00), a strand of faceted ruby roundels ($70.00), and a strand of faceted sapphire roundels ($100.00). And that’s all you need! For less than $200.00 you have a Precious Gemstone necklace that would sell for 10 times that in any high-end store.
And you don’t have to stop at ruby beads or sapphire beads. Instead you can make luxurious, wearable art out of just about any type of gemstone you can think of.
Faceted gemstone beads are found in emerald, garnet, opal, and even diamond. Faceted diamond roundels can be found in clear, blue and Champaign-tinted hues. The most dramatic faceted diamond bead is the Black Diamond. Found in Alaska, it seems to shimmer as it lies around your neck.
Also, don’t forget about pearls. A strand of near-perfect cultured saltwater pearls will set you back less than $100.00. String them with the same materials as those listed above and what might normally cost around $500.00 is yours for a bargain.
And while the economy presents opportunities to save money as you expand your jewelry collection, it is also presenting many with the opportunity to open up their own business as jewelry designers. Even if you resold the necklace you just made at double the price you spent on it, you’d still be selling it for a steal compared to the same necklace in the jewelry store display.
So why aren’t more people getting into making their own expensive jewelry the inexpensive way? Maybe they’re hoping against hope this recession doesn’t last much longer. Or maybe they’re just in denial.
Whatever the case, it’s easy to see that making your own jewelry, like a ruby and sapphire necklace, a diamond necklace, or an emerald and gold Bead Necklace, is a much smarter decision than dropping the money it’d take to buy them on Rodeo Drive. And even if it doesn’t come wrapped in a fancy jewelry box, at least you can keep your house and still dress in style!
