METAL CAPS FOR YOUR JEWELRY BEADS

Metal caps are elements that attach to beads and emphasize their beauty and elegance. The metal caps from EM ART for jewelry are made of metal and give a more elegant look to your jewelry.

History of Beads

Beads are pierced, colorful balls made of glass, amber, and other stones for various types of ornaments. It is believed that beads are one of the oldest forms of trade between members of the human race. Trade in beads is one of the reasons people developed language.

The oldest beads found are from the Blombos Cave, about 72,000 years old, and in Lebanon, about 40,000 years old. In the Middle Ages, people used strings of beads to avoid mistakes in counting livestock, goods, and other similar items.

Beaded Anklets

The history of anklets dates back to ancient times.

It is known that as early as the Bronze Age, European women wore jewelry on their feet.

Do you know what’s interesting?

On the right leg, the jewelry was worn by girls whose hearts were no longer free. If the anklet was noticed on the woman’s left leg, it immediately attracted attention, as this way she signaled her readiness for flirting.

There were situations when the girl wore jewelry on both legs, which confused the surrounding men. The anklet had brief popularity in the 20th century. In the 70s, hippies started wearing jewelry. Today, such anklets are once again gaining significance in fashion trends.

Today, anklets are rare. For uniqueness and originality, you can create the jewelry yourself or surprise a loved one with such a gift.

The materials you need for your creation:

•  Beads
•  Thread
•  Rubber bands
• Leather cords and accessories
• Knit materials and many others (buttons, feathers, wire, etc.).

Beads look very beautiful on any leg. From beads of different sizes and colors, you can create jewelry for walking on the beach or for an evening out at a restaurant.

Let’s analyze the manufacturing process of an anklet:

•  we need beads, durable thread, clasps with three loops
•  place the durable thread in a leather loop on a plastic or metal clasp and make a knot so that two lines come out of the loop
•  by threading the beads onto the durable thread with an interesting color and size, you can add pendants or other accessories (e.g., feathers)
•  divide six rows of beads into two, you can tie them together
•  the product is ready

 If we consider a variant where nothing but chains is needed, we get an excellent result. The disadvantage of such a product is its bulkiness, but if you add threads to them afterward, you can experiment, for example, by adding stones, pendants, and other accessories.

Current fashion trends, of course, will be replaced by others, but a loose anklet on a woman’s leg will always attract attention, as well as emphasize the slender leg. But a large rough product will look completely inappropriate on the leg, which can spoil the whole female image.

Tips from EM ART:

•  A long leg will look shorter if attention is diverted from it to the ankle
•  If a specific curvature is noticeable in the lower leg, it can be visually corrected by a specific shape of the anklet
•  A wide decoration will make the knee thickness visually narrower

The anklet has been an indispensable accessory for beauties of Ancient Greece and Rome. It has always been believed that mystical anklets protected their owner from failure and bad energy. Even exquisite ladies like Lady Di and Elizabeth Taylor adorned their ankles with chains with beads and various pendants.

And today, the purpose of this jewelry is to attract attention to the female foot. The truth is, today’s assortment is much richer, which means that women have more real opportunities to choose exactly the option they will like.

Dress Code

Of course, we are not even discussing the fact that women work on equal terms with men, occupying the highest positions. But in addition to their successes in the professional field, a woman should not forget how she looks.

The office dress code naturally dictates its own rules, but! It’s worth listening to useful tips on how to look stylish even in the office. Even the dullest business suit  can be complemented with jewelry that enriches your appearance.

Jewelry should be carefully chosen to complement the clothes and not look vulgar. And, of course, we want to highlight some "taboos" - what doesn’t fit the office dress code.

•  It is not appropriate to wear exotic and shocking jewelry in the office
•  Do not wear too large jewelry - long earrings or large hoops, massive pendants, or wide bracelets.
•  Products with shiny stones, clay, beads, sequins are the biggest "taboo" for the office.
