Handmade Monday 15 -Magnetic jewellery

I thought I would have a chat about magnetic Jewellery these bracelets/necklaces I make myself they are very interesting as they can be worn several different ways and co-ordinate with lots of different necklines as well as being worn as bracelets or around the ankles. When worn as a necklace you can change the shape by attaching the magnets to each other in different ways.

They are made with magnetic hematite beads which in itself is supposed to be very healthy good for the blood and for Painful arthritis etc I generally use acrylic bicones and several different types of tubular beads some are made of glass others shell and some chinese cloissone all of which look stunning
I once visited a craft fair with these and a lady tried them on, she had very severe arthritis and actually said she could feel them helping,
heres a couple of examples

    I love the magnetic jewellery not just for the healing powers but you can do so many different things with them, beautiful colours.

    I love the versality you describe for these pieces and how amazing that the lady could feel them working on her arthritis. Caroline

    They look very pretty and it is the right time of year for ankle bracelets to be popular. My OH wears wrist magnets and believes they help his joints.

    Those are really beautiful! I have seen just some hematite stones (not pretty tho, just irregular black ones) that were magnetic before, but never for jewelry! LOVELY!

    Nice colours, there's something about magnetic bracelets, you can't help but 'play' with them - which I suppose is quite therapeutic in itself. :)

    I have one of these in shades of black and grey, it looks very similar to yours. I particularly like the multi coloured one.
