January 2019 Jesse James Beads | Monthly Bead and Jewelry Making Subscription Box Unboxing

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Note: It appears the very sparkly round blue item is a connector! I didn't notice the holes until AFTER the vid! 😂

[@sue7777]

Another fun unboxing. The little balls are really cute-and the purple chain is a hoot. I thought it might be just the thing to adorn the rear view mirror in the car....Thanks for sharing with us.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Sue! I am so glad you enjoyed! I will definitely be using the purple chain - just probably not for jewelry, but that's just my preference. Chain is always useful in other ways, so I am sure I will come up with something! 💜

[@carolinehill1117]

Yes please more designs from this Jesse James box this has been my first box I have finally signed up so I am very excited about all of these things so much in the box, brilliant and thank you for sharing x

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I am so glad you enjoyed the unboxing. I am looking forward to coming up with some designs, and sharing more soon. Thanks so much for watching! 💜

[@lauriewooten2611]

Hi Gina :-). Wow I really do love this box as well. Such pretty colors. I was a little surprised that it wasn’t Valentines theme since we don’t get our boxes closer to the end of each month , but I still think this months theme is awesome and fun. Yes please do continue to do project updates. Those are my very fav. You are very creative Gina. Thank you so much for your tutorials!!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Laurie! I am so glad that you enjoyed the unboxing and the beads inside! I will plan to do another project video with this box, hopefully soon. Thanks so much for watching! 💜

[@dollatinerinderer3884]

I love the beads in this box. I have bought Jessie James beads at Walmart before and I love the idea of being able to get a box. Really like the that the blue point pendant.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Dollatine! That's cool that you were able to find them in Walmart. I did hear that they were available at Joann's as well, so it's nice some of their things can be purchased locally. The blue piece is really cool. Thanks so much for watching! 💜

Hi Gina! Great unboxing! I got my 1st box yesterday.....looked through it briefly, because I'm working on some other projects. Your video helped me to see the detail of the items enclosed in the box. I would love to see another finished jewelry pieces video for this box. Thank You for consistently inspiring me to get out of my comfort zone. Thanks for sharing!! See you soon! 💜📿

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Melonee! I am so glad you were able to get your first box, and that you could see the details through my video as well. I look forward to playing with these new items, and will definitely share when I have. It's my pleasure to bring you these videos, and know that they are helpful and inspiring to you. Thanks so much! 💜

[@dorisbarnes5527]

I would LOVE to see more finished product using this box. As soon as I seen that big connector...I spotted the small holes... I'm thinking of a beautiful bracelet. I would love to have one of those connectors. It reminds me of the Galaxy things out..and I love that... I'm needing a new phone but don't want to get one because I have a galaxy case on it and afraid I won't find one for my new phone....lol...silly..I know... but anyway as soon as you opened it omg I was in love. I love JJ beads anyway. Ok going now...thanks so much for sharing your box. I get so excited when I see your posts I know I'm going to see some beautiful things. Have a blessed day.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Doris! It's funny how things are so much larger, and more obvious when up-close on video. I am so glad you love the JJBeads, and the unboxing! It's always fun to share such pretty things with you all. Thanks so much for watching! 💜

[@sandracook9600]

Not my favorite theme, but still a nice box. I really dig their beads. Very pretty and I like the chunkiness of them too. Great Job Gina. You have found your calling lol. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Love it.

Thanks for watching, Angela! I am excited to share more soon! 💜

[@patriciamorgan6545]

Gina, I'd be interested to see you challenge yourself to use primarily the Jessie James beads, but with supplemental help from your stash. I'd be rather hard-pressed to use only the JJ beads --- they're a little too macroscopic and glitzy for my personal taste. (I have used some before, but only a sprinkling, as an accent or focal.) The solar system beads and solar system tassels do seem to coordinate perfectly (probably by design), so I can see them together. Acrylic chain is not for me, but I do appreciate the smaller scale, matte finish, and lovely color of this selection. I'd probably put beach sand and tiny shell fragments in the DIY balls and wear them as earrings. My favorite piece from this box is the magnetic clasp, and of course the fun intergalactic theme! Congratulations again on topping 5000 subscribers!! That's a great accomplishment, especially before your first 'channelversary'!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Pat! I will definitely be adding from my own stash to make them fit my personal style - I know exactly what you mean. I love your idea of the beach sand, and tiny shells in the clear balls. I think that would make a really meaningful gift to someone as well depending on the sand used, etc. Thanks again for the congrats too; it really means a lot!! 💜

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

Thanks for sharing Gina, I love the little tassels. 💞💫

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

You're very welcome, Kim! Thanks for watching! 💜

[@nikkiwilson7362]

very pretty box, all the pretty colors. the purple chain I was thinking maybe a belt or purse strap

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Nikki! Those are some great ideas for the purple chain. Thanks for watching! 💜

[@carolcassis1926]

Great unboxing! I loved the little glass balls! You could even put some of that pink shredded paper that was in your box in them. I also really liked that cubed bead bracelet from yesterday. That acrylic chain or whatever material it is is handy for hanging bead strands on ( I use metal shower curtain hangers) or curtain tie-backs, or whatever. I have some with bigger links I hang my scarves on, just stuff them through.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Carol! That would be a great use for the pink shreds! I can definitely see that as a great use for the purple chain, and I just might incorporate it somehow for storage based on your suggestion. It's not my style for jewelry-making, but it's definitely useful, and I like the color! Thanks so much for watching! 💜

[@yomama8873]

Always enjoy finished jewelry videos.

FYI : BLue goldstone is type of glass, the color is created through the addition of cobalt. Regular goldstone is created through the addition of copper. Just thought you'd like to know. ☺ See? "Semi-suedo expert"😉 Another fine video!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I always love learning more from you all! I did know that blue goldstone was man-made, but I didn't know it was glass, and about the cobalt/copper being used for the color. Very cool! I am becoming more of a "semi-suedo expert" by the day!!! 😉Thanks so much! 💜

Potomac Beads had a 5-part video series a year or two ago of a visit to a bead factory in the Czech Republic. I've also seen videos on how beads are made in Ghana. A lot of the Jessie James beads are I think hand-made. Fascinating all the artistry that goes into various types of bead making!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much for watching, Pearl, and so glad you enjoyed! I would love to learn more about that process for the various types of beads as well. I do recall watching the tour Pat was talking about in her comment below. I may look it up again!

Hi Linda! I am so glad you enjoyed the unboxing, and the beads this month. I would love to do a design video, I just have to think through how I would put that together.

Sorry if this sent twice! I have a question about Jesse James box in general. How do you feel about the quality of the beads? You know how we get all glass, Czech glass, or stone in the Bargain Bead Box and the Dollar Bead Box and Bag, how does Jesse James compare? I see that they include alot of items and they look so beautiful, but I was just wondering about that one point. Thanks in advance 😊💕

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Michelle! Overall the quality is good; however, upon closer inspection I did notice a couple of the glass pearl beads looked a little scratched, and I wasn't overly happy to receive some plastic/acrylic beads in this box. I much prefer glass. That being said, all of the findings, tassels, chain, and other glass beads in general seemed to look good! Thanks for watching! 💜
