Besides the natural seed that we use for make handmade jewelry, we also use the gemstone, seashell, pearl, and wood.
The gemstones that we use are natural stone and synthetic stone (fake stone). The reasons that we use some synthetic stone are price, suitability with jewelry, and popularity. Like turquoise, most of turquoises on jewelry are synthetic because the real turquoise is expensive and the color of stone can become pale if it's kept in wrong way. So for using this stone on jewelry, the synthetic is more suitable, colorful, and popular than the real one. And some stone such as red coral stone is controlled to trade, so we have to use the synthetic stone.
The synthetic stone is made from the powder of stone and resin, but some are use sand or crushed shell with resin. Then added the color to the stone as the real stone such as red for coral stone or blue and green for turquoise.
It just some stone that we use the synthetic for the handmade jewelry. Even though the real gemstone is rather expensive, almost that we use for our handmade jewelry are real e.g. malachite, amethyst, onyx, lapis lazuli, and etc.

Sunday, October 3, 2010
Last time that we told about seed that we use to make handmade jewelry, it's not all. This time we'll continue about others seeds which also popular for use to make the handmade jewelry.
The Castor Seed or "Med La Hoong" in Thai name has the dominant characteristic with the pattern like the snake skin on the seed. When castor is decorated with the jewelry, it make the jewelry looks attractiveness.
The white color seed that we always use for our handmade jewelry is "Look Deuy" or Job's tear seed. Because of its white color, we often use with red color or black color seed for jewelry. The colors of Job's tear seed is not always white, some seed are gray and some seed are light brown or light yellow.
The others one white color seed that we use for handmade jewelry is "Tua Kaow", also know as white bean, pea bean, or haricot. Nomally, white bean is used for cooking with pies or soups but it also apply for making jewelry. The color of white bean is not very white, but it rather off-white or cream color. Because of the size of white bean is not small like job's tear seed, it is not used for jewelry often.
One more big seed that we use is Rubber Seed or "Look Yang", is the seed of rubber tree that's grown in the south of Thailand. The size of rubber seed is rather big, approximatly diameter is 2 cm. The rubber seed has the skin like the castor seed but more brown.
Actually the seed that we use for handmade jewelry are numorous, but we just choose the most popular seed from our jewelry. If you interset in natural seed jewelry, let's check our website - www.naturalhandmadejewelry.com
