Furthermore, for those who are artistically

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008


Furthermore, for those who are artistically inclined, customization is also available, and only the imagination of the creator is the limiting factor. You can now design your own jewelry step by step. The decision is up to you; from the wooden material to be used, additional embellishments and other basic materials to make your jewelry have a distinct appearance of its own. But for customization though, manual hand labor is still the best way to approach a design.

With the modernization of wooden jewelry, you’ll find each item to be unique and carefully crafted into a jewelry worthy to be worn for all types of occasions, and if you’ll take a look in the internet, wooden jewelry is readily available on online markets.

Starting out from simple necklaces, earrings, bangles, and bracelets, wooden jewelry has definitely come a long way.
I am not in New York City and am quite a bit more southern than that. As for “best of the best” that depends on how well the question fits my particular expertise. My main knowledge is in jewelry work, whether making a piece from scratch or repairing great grandmother’s hand-me-down. Pearls I do know something about but am not the best of the best in that category!

REAL PEARLS, NATURAL AND CULTURED

First, the term “pearl” is not but should be applied only to natural pearls, formed in a mollusk when some event in nature induces the oyster or mussel to form a pearl. These pearls are quite rare and are the pearls of antiquity before pearl farmers learned to culture pearls. Freshwater pearls fished from the rivers in the USA are natural pearls but nowadays, most freshwater pearls are also cultured in freshwater pearl farms.

In any event, naturally forming or cultured, such pearls are formed in the oyster or mussel and are not fakes. The real difference in the totally natural pearl and the cultured pearls is what makes the pearl start to grow and the thickness of the nacre. Nacre is the pearly layers that make a pearl so lovely. The natural pearl will have very thick nacre, generally forming in concentric rings around some starting source or irritation to the mollusk

A large natural pearl is very, very rare. Cultured pearls generally use a “core” of mother-of-pearl, the shell of the mollusk. The bead core goes into the mollusk and nacre is formed around the core. The core determines the overall shape of the pearl. How long the oyster is allowed to let the pearl grow determines the thickness of the nacre. Thicker nacre is better. Best of all is thick nacre and a smooth, almost blemish free surface.

There is not a one-in-all test I can recommend. Some of this will simply require some “pearls” of real and fakes for comparison.

This kind of pearl wholesale can fit anyone’s lifestyle and personality. You can make every day truly memorable occasion when you shop this convenient online wholesale pearl collection. You can see everything from designer-inspired pearl jewelry to us creations. Each design is unique. You’ll find pearl strands, cheap pearl necklace, pearl bracelet, pearl rings, cultured pearl earings, pearl pendant, twisted pearl necklace, 925 sterling silver   and many other designs such as single strand necklace at affordably low prices, I like them very much.

Silver is used extensively in boys’ jewelry

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008


Silver is used extensively in boys’ jewelry. Chains made of black rubber chord with a sterling silver pendant are popular among boys. Lovers of soccer enjoy soccer ball pendants and bracelets set in white gold. Crosses and St. Christopher pendants are examples of religious jewelry worn by both boys and girls.

Teenagers wear fashion jewelry to establish an identity for themselves. Any new trend lasts for about six months. Many teenagers like spiritual jewelry that uses healing stones, crystals, and other symbols of major religions. Some boys like to pierce just one ear and wear a small stud earring. Some teens sport a rugged look wearing jewelry made of leather, hemp and pewter. Gold jewelry is generally reserved for formal occasions.
Murano glass jewelry is made from original Murano glass. Murano glass comes from the Murano, the glasswork capital of the world in the 13th Century. Glass working technologies such as crystalline glass, milleflori, enameled glass, multi-colored glass, smoke glass, and milk gas all came from Murano.

The most popular jewelry made from Morano Ventian glass beads are Millefiori pendants. Millefiori, which stands for a thousand flowers, gets its name from several floral designs and geometric shapes, which build up its mosaic design. The mosaic appearance of Millefiori pendants is due to the designs of the glass rods themselves.

The glass rods are made of multiple layers of colored glass fused together making up a uniform design along the cross section of the rod. These designed rods are heated so they become soft enough to stretch, all the while maintaining its cross section design. Stretching the rods makes them easier to cut into the many small tubes, which are responsible for the intricate design of the millefiore. These tubes are then carefully laid out, piece by piece, in a metal ring, which may vary in both size and shape depending on the desired result.

Common shapes of millefiore pendants are sometimes hearts, stars, but more commonly just circles. Once all the tubes or disks are laid out nicely, the pieces are heated in a furnace to fuse. What comes from this is the completed centerpiece of the pendant. The pendant is completed by framing the gem in sterling silver or gold and then strung with a chain.

We all love jewelry and are guided by the traditional types. This is to be expected as jewelry that is bright and shiny can look gret. But, have you considered wooden jewelry? It might be worth a look.

Wooden jewelry today is slowly making its way into the jewelry market, but being jewelry made of wood, we expect common designs such as fruits, flowers and plants. Wood jewelry varies in form. Common forms are brooches, pins, hair accessories, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and anklets, and to make it more interesting, it is made of brightly colored natural wood with a little hint of metal and other material combinations.

Designs today of wooden jewelry have also become international. Amazingly, ancient designs and concepts are still incorporated in these products. Additional embellishments though are small pieces of metal, plastic beads and precious stones.

To intensify pre-engagement relations

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008


To intensify pre-engagement relations, the design of men’s promise rings is made similar to that of their spouse. Generally referred as promise pair rings, these rings express the couple’s love and care for each other.

The finger on which the promise ring is worn depends on the type of the ring. If men’s promise rings are exchanged as a symbol of friendship, then it is common to wear them on any finger including the thumb on the right hand. The pre-engagement rings and purity rings are mostly worn on the left hand ring finger.

As men’s promise rings are meant for daily usage, they should be made of durable metal. Men’s titanium promise rings are certainly the best choice. Beautifully inlayed gold, silver and platinum men’s promise rings are also of great demand. Some men’s promise rings are marvelously hand-painted while others have an antique touch. Further, some men’s promise rings are inscribed with names, initials, or a brief verbal description about the promise.

Men’s promise rings are cool jewelry pieces which come in a variety of designs. Both handmade and machine cut promise rings are available. The most commonly used designs are Celtic knot rings, Sterling silver rings, Turkish puzzle rings, and Greek key style rings. Men’s promise rings with multi-gemstones and other precious stones are also available.

1950’s- The invention and explosion of the Atomic bomb influenced this period with designs of starbursts and sprays of diamonds. Jewelry was classified into day (gold with no adorning stones) and night (diamonds) wear. Florentine finishes, twisted rope, mesh, piercing, fluting, foxtail chain and braided wire became popular textures for gold jewelry. Cultured strings of pearls became fashionable for daywear and turquoise, coral and amethyst were the in vogue colors and gemstones for the period.

1960’s- Few restrictions in the groovy 60s brought a hybrid of gold, platinum, silver, natural gemstones and geode crystals. Faceted gems and round brilliant cut diamonds along with organic, abstract and jagged shapes dominated metalwork.

1970’s- In this feminist era, women saw fit to purchase their own jewelry and define their own style. New and different materials were used such as wood, ivory, rock crystal and coral were incorporated into jewelry design. The 50s austerity of diamond daywear and nightwear was abolished and diamonds again saw the light of day. Other prominent stones were onyx, lapis lazuli and coral and other non-precious materials. Theme bracelets or charm bracelets are introduced, with add-on attributes and purchased separately.
Wholesale jewelry store can provide the perfect choice for wedding jewelry. China is now the top producers of these gems. There are some samples, for example pearl necklace, cultured pearl necklace, multi-strand necklace, wholesale pearl beads, cheap pearl bracelet, wholesale pearl earings, wholesale pearl pendant and single pearl necklace, opera or rope necklace though, that you need to look into when getting quality pearl jewelry, in any way you can look for some informations on the internet, in there you will find what you want, very interesting.

The vivid red spots in this stone give

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008


The vivid red spots in this stone give it it’s name, but the stone itself is really green jasper. The spots come from iron oxide deposits within the stone. This stone was used in ancient times for many carvings and was a favorite of Christian martyrs. A German Emperors seal carved in bloodstone is on display at the Louvre museum in Par.

One of the more expensive stones, this birthstone of May is the stone of love and life. One of the most popular gemstones of all time, it has been used in many crowns and scepters. Emeralds range in shades of green, but the deepest ones hold the most value and can even cost more than diamond.

One of the most opulent gemstones, this stone is a combination of fiery colors like a rainbow of sparks. Opals are used in many different jewelry settings and are a favorite gemstone of jewelry wearers today. Originating from Australia, this stone has great history and lore.

This red stone has long been associated with love, passion and power. One of the more precious stones, it is considered the King of gemstones and has been extensively used in crowns and jewelry of Kings, Queens and Emperors. Mined mainly in India, the finest rubies are quite rare and expensive.

When we think of sapphire, we mostly think of the deep blue stone, but in fact, this stone can come in many colors. This stone belonging to the corundum group of gemstones is hard to find and highly valued. Second only to diamonds on the hardness scale, sapphires can be more expensive than diamonds especially the most prized specimens.

With it’s rich golden glow, Topaz is often used as a symbol for the setting sun. Though typically a golden brown, Topaz can also be found in blue, green, pink and red. This birthstone for November is a hard stone but can crack with a hard blow so care should be taken when wearing.

These are just a few of the many stones that are used in modern jewelry designs today. Some designs use just one stone or incorporate many different stones for more color and interest. Perhaps you have picked a favorite from the list above, or if you are like me, you love them all!
Even though promise rings are not commonly worn by men, men’s promise rings have their own significance. Promise rings are exchanged between a girlfriend and boyfriend with a commitment to stay faithful to each other.

Men’s promise rings can be worn as pre-engagement rings, friendship rings, or just as purity promise rings. Purity rings are a special category of promise rings, often presented by parents to their children. These rings signify the strong bond of trust between them and indicate a promise on the part of the child to stay away from sexual relationships and practice abstinence, until marriage.

That’s the magic of jewelry

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008


That’s the magic of jewelry. An unusual pendant, a stunning pair of earrings or even an armful of bangles can change the mood of an outfit altogether. A simple black dress takes on different looks with a change of accessories. You could even get away with wearing the same dress for many different occasions by playing around with your accessories.

spring gift
Since your jewelry can transform your outfit so radically, what can you get to update your wardrobe for Spring 2007?

Some things are trendy and would make you dated past a season or two while others are classics that would last you through many seasons. The smart way to build your jewelry wardrobe is to invest in fine jewelry where the classics are concerned. As for the trendy pieces, get the cheaper version that use cubic zirconia rather than diamonds, emeralds or rubies.

If you do decide to go cheap on jewelry, make sure you do it right.

First of all, tell the person you bought the jewelry for that you did in fact buy it cheap, but if you have a good reason like “I just wanted to do something special for you but I didn’t have the money”, then you should be okay. However, if you are just buying it because you don’t want to spend a lot, then don’t bother, she will know. Honesty in a relationship is the best policy, so go with it.

Don’t buy poor quality. There are many items of jewelry out there that are cheap, but their quality is half-way decent and you won’t have to worry that the ring you bought her is going to start losing chips of gold paint only a few days after you buy it. Often, jewelry stores will carry lower-end jewelry that is still of a decent quality. Take a look at those and tell the store owner what your price range is. Most will be more than happy to find the right item for your budget.

Go to a second hand shop since, sadly, in our society there will often be nice rings on display that had to be hawked to pay bills or other expenses. You can at least benefit by buying a very nice ring, for a very cheap price.

If you can, don’t buy anything cheap, especially an item of jewelry that symbolizes your love. However, if you just have to show why you care, then at least do it right and you won’t be in trouble with your loved one who thought you didn’t care enough to buy a quality item.
Pearls have been in existence for millions of years, long before the dinosaurs were walking the planet. About 6000 years ago the Egyptians were using mother of pearl in their jewelry, however it wasn’t until 500 B.C. that they discovered the beauty of the pearl. China on the other hand, recorded the use of pearls as far back as 2300 B.C. where it was exclusively used by royalty.

One other rule in cleaning jewelry

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008


One other rule in cleaning jewelry is to proceed with caution. If you aren’t sure about the chemical content of the soap you’re using, try applying it on a less conspicuous section of your jewelry first. Oftentimes chemical reactions occur right away, so you should see if the washing powder has any effect on the metals which comprise of your jewelry.

Proceeding with caution also means that you don’t want to go ahead and start with literal scrubbing. If you can simply wipe off dirt from your jewelry, stick to just wiping it. Once you finish cleaning your jewelry, make sure it’s dry before you store it. Keep jewelry in dry, cool and closed containers. Heat and exposure to the sun can damage your jewelry significantly.

Mother of pearl
Mother of pearl is the iridescent substance called nacre, found on the inside of some mollusks. The word nacre comes from the Arab word naqqarah which means shell. It has been used for ornament, decoration and jewelry since 3000 B.C.E. Tombs have been discovered on the sites of ancient Mesopotamia in the Middle East that contained items made of mother of pearl. In some ancient cultures it was valued more than pearls. Before the 19th century, Japanese shell divers would discard any pearls found in the oysters they got, and keep the shell.

Ancient China also used mother of pearl for decorative inlay for various objects and jewelry. The Chinese powdered it and used it in medicines and prescribed it to lower blood pressure, as a cure for dizziness and as a heart medication. Native populations of South and North America also used mother of pearl for decoration and medicine.

the main source of mother of pearl
In the Middle Ages in Europe, the main source of mother of pearl was the Persian Gulf. By the 16th century, this source had been depleted due to the huge demand. New sources were found in the Pacific. Areas in the Pacific such as The Solomon Islands and Tahiti were then plundered of their supply of nacre producing mollusks until the late 1880’s when France gained control of Tahiti and restricted it. By the early 20th century the area was no longer a source of nacre.

In America, mother of pearl had been used mostly as an inlay for furniture until the 19th century saw it used for buttons. Muscatine, Iowa became the center of pearl button manufacture, and ‘clammers’ fished the Mississippi and other rivers for the nacre producing fresh water mussels. The buttons would be formed by punching out round pieces of the mussel shell. Billions of pearl buttons were manufactured, but they were very labor intensive to produce. By the beginning of World War II, the pearl button industry shifted to the production of plastic buttons as they were less expensive to make.

In fact, one diamond ring

Monday, July 7th, 2008


In fact, one diamond ring may be equivalent to a couple of months of your apartment rental. Still, you don’t have to pay more if you can pay for it less? This is possible if you know the techniques that will help you find a quality diamond ring at discounted prices.

Read on and you might learn a trick or two.

Without knowing how much you are willing to shell out, you will not be able to find the diamond ring that will fit your needs. In order to set out for a cheaper diamond ring, you have to first determine what is cheap and what is expensive for you.

Be familiar with the prices

Unlike some commodities, diamond rings or any jewelry with diamonds on it do not have fixed prices. Prices of the pieces will depend upon the following properties of the diamond: clarity, cut, color and carat. Clarity refers to the clearness of the gemstone, its brilliance as well as its imperfections.

The color on the other hand refers to the “color” of the stone. Although diamonds are clear, there are varieties that have yellow shades. The carat refers to the weight and size of the stone while cut is the shape the stone is cut. Each property will determine the price of the diamond. For instance, the better the clarity, the higher the price. The same goes with the color. Yellowish-colored stones are less expensive. Reputable stores keep records of these things so don’t be afraid to ask the store

Watch out for sales

Stores frequently offer promos and sales, often during special occasions like anniversaries. Some conduct sales before Christmas to get rid of old stocks. Take note of these sales and follow the prices of the jewelry. Buy when there is a sale so that you can take advantage of the discounts. Although jewelry stores do not really give much in terms of discounts, a couple of percent is already pretty good especially if the price is high.

Look in thrift shops, garage sales and second hand stores

Although diamond rings are not exactly a dime a dozen in these kinds of shops, sometimes, they do appear. Be on the lookout but of course before you buy make sure that you have taken note of the specifications. You may be paying more for what it is really worth.

Having a keen eye is vital

Monday, July 7th, 2008


Having a keen eye is vital if you want to match precious stones and jewelry. Although it can be challenging I still enjoy the various shades and clarity found in blue topaz jewelry. Maybe the challenge would be little easier if I expand my collection.
Steel jewelry is entirely made of stainless steel, which is almost indestructible by just frequent usage. It is carefully made by meticulously carving a solid piece of steel into the design desired. It’s as simple yet painstaking in process. Impressively enough, steel jewelry has many advantages, thus, somewhat making it superior to other forms of jewelry.

Steel jewelry does not tarnish. There’s also no need to worry about your jewelry discoloring your skin unlike the usual jewelry made of composite alloys. As mentioned earlier, steel jewelry can last longer than any other jewelry and is very durable. In cases of damages and major scratches, steel jewelry can be easily repaired by simply polishing these damages without further damaging the rest of the piece. Since stainless steel is essentially different in composition than other materials usually used in jewelry, it is amazingly hypoallergenic, thus, attracts more and more people especially those sensitive to other jewelry materials to make use of this type of jewelry. Moreover, men are definitely becoming more and more interested in using steel jewelry with its sense of masculinity.

Buy in reputable stores

If you do not know how to spot the real from the fake then only go to stores that you know will not sell fakes. These are the stores that are located in malls or those who have already been in the jewelry business for decades and therefore would not do anything to sully their names. Although these places may offer much higher prices, at least you are assured that what you are buying is real and worth every cent of your hard-earned money.

Ask for certificate

Reputable stores give certificates of authenticity to its customers. Ask for one when you buy. This will serve as your insurance just in case the jewelry that you bought turned out to be a fake. It is also a good idea to ask the store if the issue certificate of authenticity before you actually shop in that store. Certificates of authenticity is very important especially if you really want to hold on to a document stating that what you are buying is worth it.
A diamond ring is not exactly cheap.

Independent artists are another

Monday, July 7th, 2008


Independent artists are another great source since they take the time to reproduce their own renditions of the look and don’t charge a fortune because they love what they do. Good luck in your search for the past revisited and when you find it and you’re spotted wearing it taking your walk down the boulevard don’t be surprised if you get stopped often and get asked, “Where did you find that great piece of jewelry, I’ve never seen anything like it”? Then you can reply, “I love it too, it’s so totally me”!

It is ironic that when celebrities pick out cheap stuff to accessorize their wardrobe, these inexpensive accessories have the potential to render the more expensive baubles obsolete and maybe even tacky. Case in point – the simple Kabbalah bracelets that pop star Madonna now wears around her wrist to show her faith in the Kabbalah body of thought.

The Kabbalah bracelet is just a red woolen string that Kabbalah believers use to symbolize the red string that was supposed to have been wrapped around Jewish matriarch Rachel’s tomb. There are some who say that the Kabbalah bracelet can prevent evil or the “evil eye” from harming the person wearing the red string.

But since Madonna started her studies of the ancient Jewish philosophy of Kabbalah, many celebrities have seen the kitsch value of wearing Kabbalah bracelets – maybe to show they are “in” and can follow any trend Madonna sees fit to start. Ironically, Madonna once made a song called “Material Girl” where she parodied Marilyn Monroe and where Madonna was seen in the music video wearing expensive jewelry. But that was back in her pre-Kabbalah days, when diamond bracelets probably meant more to her than the simple Kabbalah bracelets.

So does this bode good or evil for those who make diamond bracelets and sell them? Well, at this moment, the answer to that is up in the air. It may depend on how many people follow Madonna’s example and foreswear diamond bracelets in favor of the red string bracelets instead. It may also depend on how much people still want to wear diamond bracelets. It seems hard to believe that the practice of wearing diamond bracelets (which has been around for centuries) will suddenly be thrown out the window because of one pop star’s inclinations though.

There is an interesting aspect to this debate. The so-called “evil eye” is actually a reference to how our eyes look when we are feeling envious or jealous of another person – hence we have “evil eyes” when we have those feelings. That is why Kabbalah believers simply wear a red woolen string around their wrist to show those who are feeling envious and jealous of us that we are not wearing expensive jewelry so they should not feel envious or jealous of us. On the other hand, if you go around sporting diamond bracelets (especially those that look really, really nice) then it is almost certain at some point someone will start to feel envious or jealous of you – hence, you bring on the “evil eye” on yourself.

On some day, one of my friends carry a wide selection of  pearl jewelry, from pearl beads, cultured pearl strands, freshwater pearl neckalce, pearl bracelet, wholesale pearl ring, freshwater pearl earrings, other shaped pearls and cultured pearl pendant, freshwater pearl earrings to cheap sterling silver jewelry and full sets of pearl jewelry, expertly hand-crafted using only the fines pearls by pearl wholesale store to me. I am a jewelry lover, in my spara time I often find some single pearl necklace on the market and internet, especially on the internet, a various world, in there you can find whatever you want and find your interest on there..

Those buttoned-up

Monday, July 7th, 2008


Those buttoned-up, corseted-tight, gloved-to-the-elbows lovely ladies of days gone by were certainly on their best behavior which is why they must have felt the need to express themselves through their eye-catching and elaborate jewelry designs of the time. Today that wild abandon for unusual and eyebrow-raising jewelry translates beautifully into today’s desire for more exotic and eccentric tastes. Modern day women want to express their own individual style through their fashion sensibilities and vintage inspirations are the perfect accessory vehicle. No longer is the standard silver or gold posts or hoop earrings enough, with the resurgence of these antique designs to the marketplace we find dragonflies reign supreme, lizards scale up lapels, bees buzz around lobes and sparrows take flight on decolletage.

Art nouveau repousse and art deco filigree play a part as well in this time-honored aesthetic. Big, bold, colorful stones of azure, crimson, cobalt and amber ignite the senses when enveloped in intricate filigree settings. Mass production had no place then or for today’s women of style, they and we know the true art of elegance. Choosing a piece of jewelry to wear for the day or evening was just as integral to the event at hand as the garment to be worn… to afternoon tea, a walk down the boulevard, for a formal dinner and then off to the drawing room to unwind. The intricacy of the jewelry was just as complicated as the layers of lace and the multitude of buttons that ran from the nape of the neck to just past the waist.

It was all worth it. And while those times called for an elaborate dress of the moment, these same fabulous ornate vintage jewelry designs look fantastic paired with the more simple and clean-lined silhouettes of modern fashion. They bring an extra je ne sais quoi to an ensemble, the finishing touch, the piece de resistance that otherwise might leave an uneventful outfit crying for self-expression. Today you can find old world dyes still being reproduced in the most engaging detailed patterns…raised winged butterflies, ladies reclining in the crescent moon, love birds beak to beak, even Victorian skeleton keys find there way into the mix as once useful elements of the past become today’s adornments.

Not just limited to earrings, this antique jewelry style has far reaching effects from bracelets to lariats, brooches to chokers, pendants to rings for every finger even the thumb…not even the glam girls back when were that hip! Finding reworked or new vintage pieces can be tricky, and costs for the real deal can often be cost prohibitive, but not impossible if you know where to look. Many times the attic is a good place to start or Grandma’s jewelry box. If that comes up dry check out local flea markets and small antique shops away from the big cities…they’re already super savvy about what a girl wants these days.

Are you familiar with jewelry? Hong Kong‘s jewelry is famous in the world of pearl jewelry supply centre. Each year, many jewelry shows are held in HK.
