Cracked Up Jewelry---FUN IDEA




 Cracked Up Jewelry
August 2006 when Rosenberger started her business, Cracked Up Jewelry in Clearwater FLa

Lori Rosenberger is an antique hunter. Along with other avid collectors, she rifles through the shelves and tables of antique shops and flea markets looking for precious china plates, cups and saucers.
But Rosenberger won't be using her purchases on the family dinner table.
"I look for things that are broken, chipped or glued," she said. "I want china too cracked to eat off of."
.

Earring Storage


What a great way to store your earrings in your jewelry box. Slip your pair of earrings into the button holes add your wire nuts to the back. by Rena Klingenberg.
(Wire nuts are what you use to hold your earrings in place while you’re wearing them).

Broken Bead


TIP: What do you do when a bead breaks in a necklace or bracelet
What do you do when a bead breaks in a prominent place on your necklace? Use crimp covers to create a new pattern! 

First, use chain nose pliers to carefully close a crimp cover over the space created by the broken bead. Then, take a look at your pattern. In order to even things out, you may need to break selected beads. You can use the pliers to break each selected bead a put a crimp cover in their place.


Be sure to check the opposite side of the necklace to make sure it matches!
