Biker Jewelry 101 – A Beginner’s Guide

Posted on October 24, 2018 by blogger

Biker Jewelry, commonly also sometimes known as rocker jewelry, gothic jewelry, rock and roll jewelry and rock n roll jewelry, deviates hugely in comparison with classic conceptions of delicate jewelry, and carries more weight and substance than its traditional counterpart. Rock & Roll jewelry is easily identifiable owing to the bold statement it makes with its deliberately masculine look. It is commonly crafted using thick and heavy precious metals; in particular sterling silver, the craftsmans prime choice of material. It is not unheard of to find real sterling silver wallet chains weighing an entire pound made by a famous biker jewelry franchise. The magical fusion of leather (sometimes alligator or snake skins), silver and bold designs comprises the essential elements of the renegade biker image. The good thing is you do not have to be a biker or live the biker lifestyle to shack on biker jewelry. The biker is simply a mythical cultural icon which represents the ability to ride without restriction, to feel the wind blowing hard against your skin, to flaunt your own style without a damn about conformity and to live on your own time. Wearing biker jewelry is about making a resounding statement of freedom and independence.

The gothic silver jewelry of today has evolved from simple traditional wallet chains and simple skull rings into highly intricate, custom, handcrafted, stunningly beautiful pieces of wearable art made in sterling silver and other precious metals. In the world of biker jewelry, boldness, designs and motifs matter. Frequently seen designs include an entire arsenal of animal jewelry, skull jewelry, cross jewelry, fleur de lis jewelry, hearts jewelry and fire jewelry. Fans of biker jewelry heavily emphasize the importance of good silver designs rather than brands just like tattoo lovers value great ink designs. Patina on silver appears as a unique and beautiful polished black accentuating a background of glistening silver; a uniquely quirky effect no other metal can replicate.

LA and Tokyo are the biker jewelry capitals of the globe. Known as “silver freaks” in Japan, the first Japanese to admire biker jewelry were young tourists visiting Los Angeles in the 1990’s who immediately took to the magic of Gabor Nagy’s very first gothic silver designs.

Biker jewelry, or rock n roll jewelry, was the first of its kind in that it catered almost exclusively to men, using bold motifs and masculine designs to represent strength, freedom and rebellion. Once thought to be reserved for bikers, outlaw bikers and rockers, gothic silver jewelry has crept into the realm of mainstream fashion for both men and women alike. Biker jewelry designers and sterling silver aficionados deserve much credit for the recent surge in popularity of mens jewelry, rock ‘n’ roll accessories, and skull motifs in fashion.

Gone are the times when ties and watches were the only accessories a man could look forward to wearing. Today, jewelry has become an important staple to any well-dressed mans wardrobe, with sterling silver being the metal of choice. The combination of leather, sterling silver and bold emblems comprise the essential elements of the biker image, and increasingly, men and women alike are being drawn to biker-inspired fashion as a theme for casual wear. Designers are finally answering to the call of the masses by offering new lines for both genders which include biker-style leather jackets, clothing, , shirts and, of course sterling silver jewelry. Biker jewelry, despite what naysayers of the past decade have claimed, is here to stay.

In recent years, prices of biker jewelry have risen so sharply that fans are increasingly being priced out of the market. In response to this development, compelling alternatives to designer labels are being offered by non-designer label jewelers, who utilize the same sterling silver to create almost identical or similarly styled (inspired) designs as the originals.

Why Jewelry Making Videos Beat Jewelry Making Classes Hands Down

Posted on October 21, 2018 by blogger

OK. I have to admit right up front that I teach jewelry making classes. So why would I say to you that jewelry making videos are a better option than taking classes?

I’ve learned this from my own experience with my students. Some of my students take my jewelry making classes just because they want to spend some time doing something interesting and enjoy the company of other ladies. They look at jewelry making as just a hobby, and that’s fine.

But my other students take their jewelry making a little more seriously. They want to make quality handmade jewelry for themselves, as gifts for friends and family, or even sell their jewelry for profit. If you are like these students then I recommend jewelry making videos as a more effective teaching tool, and also as a more cost effective option than jewelry making classes.

Why more effective as a teaching tool? It’s pretty simple really. When you learn a new jewelry pattern in class you probably will have forgotten much of it by the time you get home. That’s just how our brains work unfortunately. Even if you take home with you written diagrams showing the jewelry pattern of the piece you learned in class, many people, myself included, just can’t translate a 2-dimensional diagram into a 3-dimensional world.

This can be a very frustrating experience, as I have learned with many of my students. To help my students overcome this I created jewelry making videos showing step-by-step how to create the jewelry pieces we made in class.

What a difference this has made not only in improving the quality of the jewelry pieces my students make, but also in eliminating their frustration level of forgetting how to make the jewelry pieces once they get back home from class.

What a jewelry making video allows you to do is watch every move the teacher makes in close-up detail. But probably more importantly, with a video you can watch the lesson over and over and over again, anytime you want, in the comfort of your own home. It’s like being able to retake the class, for free, as many times as you like. This is especially important when you haven’t made the jewelry piece in a while and you need a refresher. No need to pay for another class!

And that gets to my second point, why videos are more cost effective than jewelry making classes. When you take a class, private or group, you have to pay for the instructor’s time. If you want to learn to make many different jewelry pieces, at $20/hr. for group lessons, and upwards of $40/hr. for private lessons, the cost can really start to add up. In addition, you are limited to learning whatever it is that the instructor wants to teach you.

With jewelry making videos, on the other hand, there is a vast and rapidly growing library of lessons available for viewing on the internet or on DVD. The cost for these lessons is very low, sometimes even free, and you get to own them forever. You never have to pay for them again.

If you are, or are thinking you might become, serious about your jewelry making, I recommend giving video lessons a shot.

Both the playback and the payback are hard to beat.
