Landmark Beads Compatible with PANDORA, Biagi, Chamilia and more!

2012-01-23T05:56:00.001-05:00

Landmark Travel Bead Sterling Silver Bracelet

Landmark Beads are made of high quality .925 sterling silver with oxidized accents, and the large hole makes them compatible with many popular European style brands including Chamilia, Carlo Biagi, Troll and PANDORA Bracelets. These highly detailed beads have a smooth inner hole, which measures approximately 5mm, and beads are approximately 3/8" long by 3/8" tall depending on the design.

Landmark Bead New Orleans Bourbon Street Sign

Where is your favorite vacation spot? Do you have a love of a particular area of the world? Whatever the case may be you can find a sterling silver memory of that location to wear on your charm bead bracelet. There are over 60 different hghly detailed beads representing locations in the world and the United States that are top vacation spots or historic landmarks, along with those there are several beads to help tell the story of your travels including a cruise ship, jet airplane, sail boat, camper and more.

Landmark Bead Stonehenge

Landmark Beads should only be cleaned with a silver cleaning cloth. Do not use silver polish dip, as this may remove the oxidation that shows the tiny details in the silver. When you are not wearing your bracelet, keep it stored in a safe place in either a plastic Ziploc bag or special jewelry storage, this will help keep it from tarnishing quickly. With proper care, these beads will be a lasting representation of your travels around the world!

Landmark Bead Mayan Pyramid

Check out all the Landmark Beads at Bead Lovers Korner, and watch for 4 new beads coming later this year!

“e.g. our products fits the PANDORA bracelets”. Counterfeiting, don't use that word!

2011-12-31T11:34:00.000-05:00

Custom Mother's Birthstone Charm Dangle

Here is my take on the whole PANDORA issue. Strike the word from your vocabulary, unless you are one of their die hard believers or you are talking about something from mythology.

Apparently this company wants sole use of the word in any form as it relates to beads or jewelry. If you use the word and are not one of their sellers then you are counterfeiting their trademark. Enough said. I am sick of the whole thing. If you ask me if my beads will fit on your blasted bracelet that starts with the alphabet letter P, then I will tell you, otherwise I am not saying. I am in the process of removing it from every single place I have a listing or information about the compatibility of my items except in general overview areas and here on my blog.

Here is a statement from that company that you can read:

http://reviews.ebay.com.au/A-Message-from-PANDORA-Head-Office-re-Counterfeiting?ugid=10000000017353234

At one point in this post it says:

"The use of the trademark PANDORA stand-alone and in combined phrases is only accepted in general customer information describing in long text the products offered, “e.g. our products fits the PANDORA bracelets."

Should I believe this? You know what, not doing it... I decided today, that could have been posted by anyone. Just to suck you in so you think it's OK to say your bead will fit on that bracelet. It is not worth the headache of having to go and change hundreds of listings, or the risk of getting sued if they up and decide that it's not OK. So pretend the word does not exist, or that if you say it you risk death because the big bad wolf will come and eat you.

Carlo Biagi Swarovski Crystal Beads

The beads I sell and the charm beads that I make have a large diameter hole, and will fit on any thing with a smaller diameter such as a bracelet, necklace, leather, cord, beaded chain, key chain, anywhere you want. I also sell traditional beads that have a smaller hole and will not fit on large chains like that bracelet that starts with a P.

Twin Towers Landmark Travel Bead

I carry Carlo Biagi Jewelry and Landmark Charm beads, occasionally I will bring in some economy beads with a low price point. Everything I sell is of high quality .925 sterling silver (unless it is mentioned otherwise, as in the economy beads) and will have lasting value for the bearer of the bead or charm, as long as they treat it with care and clean the the item properly.

I am insulted that just because I say that my Carlo Biagi beads will fit on a P-ND-RA bracelet that I am selling counterfeit beads. So enough, my beads and items will sell on their own merit and the excellent customer service that I provide. I hope other sellers will follow suit and not keep trying to find new ways to say P-ND-RA. Just backspace over that word, let them have it. Beads have been around for thousands of years and will continue to a part of jewelry design, large hole or small hole!

Carlo Biagi Bead Bracelet with Charms

To anyone who reads this post, thanks for listening and if you sell beads or buy beads I hope this information has helped you. I will leave you with two thoughts:

What exactly came out of Pandora's Box? All the evils of the world, so don't mess with that box.

When the Giants come they don't even see the ants, so get the heck out of the way!

Something to think about when you are working with Silver

2011-11-05T11:09:00.000-04:00

Malachi 3:3

There

was a group of women

in a Bible study on the book of Malachi.

As they were studying Chapter Three, they came across

Verse Three which says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver".

This verse puzzled the women and they wondered what this statement meant about the

character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out about the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their Next Bible study. That week this woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment To watch him at work. She didn't mention anything

about the reason for her interest in silver beyond her curiosity about the process of

refining silver. As she watched the silver smith, he held a piece of silver over

the fire and Let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed

to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were

hottest so as to burn away all the impurities. The woman

thought about God holding us in such a hot spot

then she thought again about the verse

, that says, "He sits as a refiner

and purifier

of silver".

She asked

the silversmith

if it was true

that he had to

sit here. Front

of the fire

the whole time

the silver was

being refined.

The man

answered

that yes, he not

only had to sit there holding the silver,

but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire

time it was in the fire. For if the silver was left even a moment

too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent or a moment.

Then she asked the silver smith, how do you know when the silver is fully refined? He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's the easy part, when I see my image reflected in it."

So…If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His

eye on you and will keep His hand on you and watch over you until He

sees His image in you.

Please Note: This is not my original work or thoughts. This was sent to me years ago and I just wanted to share

Carlo Biagi Clip On Charms Versatility

2011-09-24T09:12:00.000-04:00

Carlo Biagi Bead Bracelet wiitth Clip On Charms

I am working on the Carlo Biagi Charms section of the NEW Bead Lovers Korner Website and wanted to share the versatility of this jewelry line. At some point later on I may do a series of Blog posts to explain each part in depth, but in a visual nutshell the clip on charms can move from charm bracelet to bead bracelet by using a charm carrier.

Link Bracelet with Clip On Charms

The Clip On Charm is not new or unique, as many brand names and non-brand names are sold today in this fashion. Such as:

Thomas Sabo
Amore La Vita
and many more...

It is a great way to easily change, add and subtract your charms.

Charm Carrier Bead and Clip On Charm

The Bead Carrier by Carlo Biagi Jewelry will enable you to move a charm from the link bracelet and add it to your bead bracelet as a dangle. How cool is that!!!

There are several styles of charm carriers to choose from to match your mood and taste in jewelry.

The Clip On Charm selection is vast and steadily growing!!

All Carlo Biagi Jewelry is made of the highest quality .925 Sterling Silver and many are embellished with Cubic Zirconia stones or Enamel.

Colorful, sleek, or sparkling - perfect for your unique fashion style! Sold at online at Bead Lovers Korner www.beadloverskorner.com

Stand for Israel with Bracelets and Beads

Stand for Israel Bracelet

I have felt that things are just not quite right in the world for several years now... I guess it started when Obama was campaigning for President. He was on a campaign trip, but it wasn't to major cities in the USA, it was a trip AROUND the WORLD. I was pretty sure that no other Presidential Candidate had done a campaign trip around the world, and it just did not sit well with me.

Now, just a few years later the US economy is in the tank, our enemies have become our friends and our friends have become our enemies. There are people in Washington D.C. who don't know what is going on and it seems as if the White House has become one of those Carnival Fun Houses with a jillion distortion mirrors and everything is all topsy turvy.

Well, I am a humble entrepeneur who sells beads and makes jewelry, and I felt the urge to put these sets together for other like minded people to wear and display as their statement in support of Israel.

Go to Bead Lovers Korner and click on Make Your Beads Stand For Israel

Compatible with Pandora, Chamilia, Troll and other European style bracelets and necklaces.

Carlo Biagi beads have a large diameter hole that is not threaded and are compatible with Pandora, Carlo Biagi, Chamilia, Troll and all other chains. Available on our website, please click on the linked text under the picture for more info.
