Icicle
Beads Make
Stunning Jewellery
If you want your
designs to stand out, use icicle beads. These are also
inexpensive as each string will have
many because they are top-drilled. With a little
imagination they can be strung together as in the picture - and
you can use just one each for earrings too.
MrBead has 21 different icicle beads.

Sapphire:
September's Gemstone
Sapphire is the birthstone for September,
and is chemically and structurally the same as ruby, an aluminum
oxide. However, where rubies are only red, sapphires come in
every color but red: blue, golden yellow, reddish-orange, or
violet.
The most valuable sapphires have a vivid royal blue
colour. Some sapphires do change their colors between blue and
violet depending on the light. Sapphires are extremely durable,
only diamonds are harder. Sapphires are generally cut into
cushions, rounded rectangle or oval shapes.
However, fancy
sapphires may be triangles, squares, marquises, pear shapes,
cabochon cut, or smooth domes. Sapphire is the anniversary stone
for the 5th and 45th years of marriage.
Dark blue and lilac sapphire is said to enhance ones creativity
while guarding against distraction. It is also good for sexual
relationships because it tends create deep bonding between
people and brings loyalty.
Light blue sapphire is the inspiration stone. It helps to bring
new thoughts and makes one feel excited and full.
Green sapphire brings a lucky sense to ones life for it allows
things to run smoothly.
Orange works on a totally different level by not allowing you to
deceive yourself. It makes you look at things in their basic
form without distorting it to conform to what you want it to be.
Brings true knowledge - a good stone for students, teachers,
writers and researchers.
Pink sapphire allows one to surrender to another for the good of
the all.
White sapphire helps you take care of yourself and to tend to
your personal needs.
Yellow sapphire connects you to the total
you with all of your inner knowledge. It also helps you to see
what you do not know so you can look for an answer, rather than
believing you already know the answer.
Sapphire's Expensive - Use Chalcedony instead for September!
Blue
chalcedony can look similar to sapphire at a fraction of the
cost. Although a very fine-grained variety of quartz
with a waxy luster with a compact fibrous structure.
Natural chalcedony is usually grayish blue and sometimes with
hints of pink, however it can be color enhanced to light blue.
It is said that chalcedony was used as a sacred stone by the
Native Americas, promoting stability within the ceremonial
activities of the tribe.
Chalcedony is thought to augment emotional balance, vitality,
stamina, endurance, kindness, charity and friendliness. It also
supposedly alleviates hostilities, irritability and melancholy.

Saint Bede
Many
beaders will be surprised to hear of our saint! Saint Bede. The
monk is regarded as the greatest of the Anglo-Saxon scholars. He
was born in 672 AD near Durham and wrote about 40 books on
theology and history.
However, as far as can be found, he never strung any beads into
jewellery!
