British History
During the 1600’s, England celebrated “Mothering Sunday” on the 4th Sunday of Lent (40 days before Easter).
Then, many of the England’s poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most were employed far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants had the day off and encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers.
However, many countries celebrate Mother’s Day at different times – except Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium who also celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May.
What does mother want for her special day? Beaded jewellery of course – so get making, not long to go! Try creating matching sets: necklace, bracelet & earrings.
Versatility in Design
Tube beads can create designs in diverse styles. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek and modern look or a more bohemian and eclectic feel – the tubular shape provides a dynamic canvas for creativity, enabling the design of contemporary bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.
Effortless Elegance The elongated form of tube beads imparts an effortless elegance to jewellery. Their streamlined shape adds a touch of sophistication without being overly intricate – suitable for both casual and formal designs. This simplicity ensures that tube bead jewellery remains timeless and complements all outfits and styles.
Lightweight and Comfortable Tube beads are lightweight, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods. Great for statement pieces or layered necklaces without feeling weighed down.
Ease of Stringing The cylindrical shape of tube beads makes them easy to string. Allowing quick assembly without the complexity working with intricate bead shapes.
Dynamic Patterns and Textures Tube beads come in various materials, finishes, and textures, allowing for the creation of dynamic patterns. The interplay of different tubes, whether smooth, faceted, or patterned, adds visual interest and depth to the jewellery.
Ideal for Layering The elongated shape of tube beads lends itself to layering – a popular trend in 2024 jewellery. Whether creating a multi-strand necklace or a stacked bracelet.

Aquamarine is associated with the thymus gland and is soothing worn as a necklace. Also thought to help coughs and calm the nerves. Aquamarine brings courage, aids quick intellectual response, and protecting the aura.Colour ranges from a light turquoise blue to a bluish green. Darker blue is the best, greener less valuable. Check the clarity of the stone. Because aquamarine has a light pastel colour, it’s important to be free of flaws or inclusions.
Examine the cut from different angles checking light reflects evenly off the surface of the gem. Aquamarine is usually heat treated and will become paler if left in the sun.Clean aquamarine in with warm soapy water and a soft bristle brush. As with all gemstones, protect from scratches and sharp blows.
