The Spokane keychain experiment

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Strung on #61-723-49-02 Beadalon, this keychain held up in daily use for over 2 years!

Rita's keys

How burly is your Beadalon?

This is a nice testament to the durability of the stringing materials you can buy here. :)   Thanks to Rita who works here, for pointing out that you can learn from broken jewelry too!

FYI, the big cool bead is #28-900-01-01 (George O’Grady borosilicate glass).  It’s been restrung on #40-099-28-3 beading chain, finished off with a #41-151-99-20-3 crimp tube at one end and #41-256-02-3 crimps at the other end.  The crimp at the end of the tassel is covered with a crimp cover from the #48-289-00-3 set.  The clip itself isn’t ours, but is similar to our new #30-610-01-1 teardrop clip.

By the way, here's "Mark 2" :)

The December 2008 issue of Simply Beads magazine has hit the news stands, and Rings & Things’s designs are featured in it!  Check out our latest inspirations for neckwear in a two-page R&T-sponsored design spread called “Great Lengths“.  The four featured designs in the article are these:

  • The Asphalt Jungle” (yes, you’ve seen that before–it’s also been in our Fall 2008 supplement)

Our Great Lengths web page, and the individual Designer Tip Sheets for these projects, all link directly to the products in our online store that each uses.  So it just takes a click to go from admiring to ordering…and on to creating!

Aside from the Great Lengths article, Rings & Things is credited as the source of parts in another 4 projects in the same issue:

To see Rings & Things featured in other issues, you can visit our site’s Simply Beads page.

Even more media sightings of R&T can be found in our “Saw us in a Publication?” page.  It’s a great way to track down exactly which Rings & Things stock those published designers are using, so you can re-create that look!
