At Wilde Traditions, I couldn't figure out what they mount the fabric onto to make earrings, but the texture added by the weave of the fabric is quite attractive. They use textile patterns in combination with silver, gemstones, and glass beads to make jewelry.
They also roll the fabric around something - a knitting needle or something similar - to make tubular beads that they use in their necklaces:
Blue and White Necklace with Fabric Beads
Tie-dyed blues and white with blue goldstone and glass beads
Goldstone is a type of glass made with copper or copper salts.
One-of-a-kind fabric jewelry for the wrist, using everything from buttons and pins to felt appliqus and embroidery in a variety of shapes and colors, crafted with handmade simplicity:
Fabric Cuff Bracelets
NOTE: It appears that this lady is no longer making these cuff bracelets. I think they're adorable. If you're a bit crafty, give it at try. I think girls would love them.
This bracelet is metallic fabric wrapped around a bangle. It looks like metal at first. but it must be so comfortable to wear:
Metallic Woven Bangle
Once again, very clever use of materials.See full article.
