Men's Hemp Bracelet

I realized the gaping lack of men's jewelry in my inventory once I had someone ask me to show them pics of what I did for guys - so I made some up today. Here's a phat hemp cuff / bracelet / arm band...

Spiral Hemp Bracelet

It's amazing the amount of different styles the simple square knot can be made into - the spiral effect is achieved by simply doing half of a square knot over and over. The bead is a cute handmade...

Re: Men's Hemp Necklaces

Heya HempNecklaceStore - the fiber beads are either a love them or hate them kind of thing, I've found. Those ones maybe just didn't come across well in the photos, but it takes all kinds of beads. :) I'm a big fan of the silver beads, I just wish bali beads weren't so expensive - hopefully silver prices drop before I go to another bead show.

Re: Men's Hemp Bracelet

Thank you kindly. :)

Re: New Hemp Jewelry

It's a Canon SX20IS - not quite a DSLR, but a step above a point and shoot. The mushrooms are handmade by duste.etsy.com

Re: Handmade Shroom Hemp Necklaces

I get them from duste.etsy.com - they are handmade to my color specs.

Re: Two Tone Spiral Hemp Bracelets

Yah I'm a fan of the rainbows as well, but not everyone is so I included some other colors. :)

Re: Men's Hemp Necklaces

Heya Lana,

A general rule of thumb that I use for the male necklaces is to start with a base of 48 lb hemp if I can, even if I'll be knotting with 20 lb hemp overtop of it. This gives it a thicker look to begin with. Of course I do tend to use 48 or 100 lb hemp normally. For beads I get red, black, and green gemstones. Hemp colors are usually in the neutral and earthtones shades. Hope that helps, and if you'd like to talk hemp shop some more feel free to email me at tiffany@phathemp.com
