Travelling with Bling. Jewellery Hack for dancers.

What a great way to travel with all your belly dance bling without tangles. Of course something with bigger sections may be needed for a lot of us! How do you travel with your jewels? Any great tips to share? Please comment below.jewellery idea

Cheap, easy bling for troupes or any dancer

Rarely do mainstream stores stock affordable, large or even slightly exotic pieces of costume jewellery suitable for belly dance. So imagine my shock when I found these items in K-mart of all places! Now there are many, much fancier options available for dancers. I have even custom made necklaces and jewellery for specific costumes. However these are easily available, cheap and available in bulk making them really great for students on a budget and troupes.  So scan below and head into to k-mart to fill in any gaps in your accessories. There were several other variations in different colours too (Pics were taken in haste using my phone but you get the idea). I already have a very extensive necklace collection (some would call it an obsession!), so I only bought some of the flowers but just realised that I should have gotten some of the gold rings too as most of mine are silver.

Cheap and easy to match with costumes.

From memory this was only $4. It kind of has an almost pharonic feel I think , or could work for some tribal fusion outfits.

Living jewellery

I love the idea of living jewellery! Totally suitable for making a statement at your next performance. Especially cool for earthy, tribal pieces or fantasy fairy/ elven belly dance choreographies. I pinned a few of these pics to my pinterest boards.
