Bridal Jewelry Sets - A Great Combination To Pull Your Look Together

September 7th, 2008 -- Posted in Jewelry | No Comments »

Finding bridal jewelry to complete your look for the big day can sometimes be a difficult task. You may find that in your searching you see a pair of earrings you like and a necklace, but there is no bracelet. Likewise, you may also find your bridal earrings and bridal necklace but together, the two pieces of jewelry do not match well. This is where the suggestion of pulling your jewelry accessory look together by purchasing an entire bridal jewelry set from one merchant.

When purchasing your entire bridal jewelry set from one merchant or bridal jewelry designer, you will have a more consistent and complete look. Your bridal jewelry will match together because it was designed to be together. What makes bridal jewelry sets even more special is after your big day, many times just wearing your bridal earrings or bridal necklace out for a nice dinner or dancing can bring back all of the special moments and memories that you made on the most important day of your life.

In addition, you will save time and energy by purchasing a bridal jewelry set all at once. There will be no more hunting for the perfect pair of bridal earrings that will match the bridal necklace or bridal bracelet that you have already purchased. Yet another “bonus” to purchasing one bridal jewelry set is you will pay one shipping fee versus paying two to three different shipping fees by ordering your bridal jewelry pieces from various bridal websites and bridal jewelers. Many times you will find that by purchasing your bridal jewelry in a set, you will receive a discounted rate.

To conclude, when purchasing your bridal jewelry sets, keep in mind the overall look and feel you want to have for your special day, this will be reflected in what you wear, as you are the bride and the center of attention for the day. By purchasing a bridal jewelry set, your look will be congruent and gorgeously pieced together. Sit back and take in your day and all of the wonderful compliments it will bring.

Easter Jewelry on Parade

September 6th, 2008 -- Posted in Jewelry | No Comments »

Easter — a time of rebirth, regeneration, renewal — is also a time for celebration, and many people find that wearing Easter jewelry is an apt thing to do during the season. You can choose from among a wide selection of designs, from the solemn to the elegant to the carefree. Whatever your personality may be, you can be sure that there’s an accessory that’s just right for the festivities on Easter Sunday.

Easter conjures up images of rabbits and Easter eggs, as well as traditions associated with Easter. Most notable of these traditions is the Easter Monday Egg Roll held annually at the White House, which is supervised by the First Lady. Celebrities and politicians also turn out to watch the children roll Easter eggs on the south lawn of the White House. Of course, you don’t have to have celebrity status or be a person of prestige to look good during Easter or any other holiday. With Easter jewelry, a person could look his or her best and not break the bank by doing so.

Earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets or brooches with Easter-themed or religiously inspired designs are common sights during the season. Necklaces with cross pendants or images of saints would be appropriate for Easter worship or mass. Bracelets and earrings that have dangling crosses are also seen on women, as are brooches and pins with similar designs. Men are also seen wearing accessories with religious motifs: cross cuff links and iconic medallions and bracelets.

When it comes to Easter festivities, you can look fun-filled and carefree depending on your attire and choice of accessories. Stretch bracelets with rabbit or egg charms are attractive and eye-catching, and many of them are inexpensive to boot! Similarly, you can get more into the spirit of the season by giving Easter jewelry to friends and family: charm bracelets are great gifts for kids, while adult recipients would perhaps appreciate brooches or pendants. Teenagers and other young people, on the other hand, would probably enjoy Easter-themed belly button rings or toe rings.

You don’t need to spend a large amount of money to give Easter jewelry gifts. Many of them are available in specialty stores and costume jewelry stores for just a few dollars, but even with the low price, you can be assured of attractive and whimsical designs and satisfactory workmanship. Of course, if you have a bit of extra money to spend on Easter jewelry, you can always avail of them from fine jewelers. And what’s great is that some fine jewelers have a philanthropic streak in them — they donate part of the price you pay for an item to a charitable cause.

One classic and classy piece of Easter jewelry that you can buy for yourself or for others is a Faberge-style Easter egg accessory. Carl Faberge was a famous jeweler in Russia, and the jeweled eggs he created, made with precious gems and metals, were much in demand among the Russian royalty and elite. Today, there are contemporary Easter egg jewelry pieces that follow the Faberge pattern and style.

Whether you are attending mass on Easter Sunday, or participating in an Easter parade, or watching kids have fun at the White House Easter Monday Egg Roll — or all of the above! — wearing Easter jewelry is a great way to express and celebrate the meaning of Easter.

Jewelry As A Father’s Day Gift

September 5th, 2008 -- Posted in Jewelry | No Comments »

It is widely known that many men enjoy fine jewelry. So, why not present Dad with a gift of jewelry this Father’s Day.

Jewelry gifts that you might consider for that special Father in your life could include a gold or silver watch, a handsome sterling silver or 14kt gold chain or masculine link bracelet. With a chain you might include a manly pendant with a nautical or sports theme.

As for rings, there are many rugged designs available in 14kt gold or sterling silver with stones like turquoise, onyx, malachite and lapis. Also, many men are fond of masculine settings of small diamonds and other gemstones.

Celtic jewelry designs, such as Celtic crosses, Celtic knots, etc are great choices for Dad on Father’s Day.

If your Dad has a pierced ear maybe he would appreciate a small stud earring; the choices here are endless.

Remember this, men tend to avoid interchanging jewelry in the way that many women do. With this in mind, avoid costume jewelry and focus on durable quality pieces that Dad can wear day in and day out.

The following are some tips for buying jewelry for Dad on Father’s Day. He will be proud of you for being a smart jewelry consumer and for saving some money, too.

Here are some helpful guidelines to keep in mind when you are shopping for a jewelry gift to celebrate the next chapter of your special Father’s life.

1. There’s a big difference between 14 karat gold and gold-plated jewelry. Fourteen karat (14K) jewelry contains 14 parts of gold, mixed in throughout with 10 parts of base metal. Gold-plated describes jewelry with a layer of at least 10K gold bonded to a base metal. Gold plating eventually wears away, depending on how often the item is worn and how thick the plating is.

2. If you’re buying a watch, determine whether you want one that runs on a battery or one that must be wound daily. Ask if a warranty or guarantee is included, how long it lasts, and what parts and repair problems it covers. Also ask how and where you can get the watch serviced and repaired.

3. Know the difference between laboratory-created gemstones and naturally mined stones. Stones created in the lab are visually identical to stones mined from the earth. The big difference is in the cost: laboratory-created stones are less expensive then naturally mined stones. But because they look much like stones mined from the earth, they must be identified as lab-created. If you want a naturally mined stone, ask if it has been treated. Gemstone treatments- such as heating, dyeing or bleaching- can improve a stone’s appearance or durability. Some treatments are permanent; some may create special care requirements. Treatments also may affect the stone’s value.

4. When you’re buying a diamond, consider four criteria: cut, color, clarity and weight, usually stated as carats. Each factor affects the price. Color is sometimes “graded” on a scale. However, scales are not uniform: a “D” may be the best color for one scale, but not for another. Make sure you know how a particular scale and grade represent the color of the diamond you’re considering. A diamond can be described as “flawless” only if it has no visible surface cracks or other imperfections when viewed under 10-power magnification by a skilled diamond grader.

When shopping for Father’s Day jewelry online, apply these tips.

1. Shop with companies you know or do some homework before buying to make sure a company is legitimate before doing business with it.

2. Take advantage of information and referrals from an Internet company you have come to trust.

3. Get the details about the product, as well as the merchant’s refund and return policies, before you buy.

4. Look for an address to write to or a phone number to call if you have a question, a problem or need help.
