Fall Jewelry Trends

::11 June 2010 :: admin :: General, Jewelry Add Comments

The main trends are darker colors and less jewelry. For example, wear movable drop earrings without a necklace or vice versa. So there’re no more sets. But it’s not the reason to be upset. Jewelry is forced to become more emphatic. You can also compensate this minimalism by an outrageous price of your jewelry. Here are some exceptional pieces – the best in each category:

Necklaces. Extremely beautiful is a strand of Mikimoto black pearls. It’s hip and traditional at the same time. The pearls are naturally colored and they are not black, by the way. Their color consists of blue, green and gray overtones. Simply irresistible!

Bracelets. An absolute hit is a jewelled bracelet made from exotic leather. It’s especially hot if the jewels are black diamonds. Such a wonder is a creation of de Grisogono – a wide galuchat bracelet with drops of polished white and blackened gold which are set with white and black diamonds. “Touch me!” allures the bracelet. Crazy! Another creative idea is proposed by Van Cleef & Arpels. It’s a deep red leather bracelet with a jewelled “button” clip in white gold.

Chains & Pendants. Long yellow gold chains compete with black or red silk laces but it’s just the matter of your preferences. The pendants are good-sized and eye-catching. The most romantic and autumnal is the creation of Pasquale Bruni – a yellow gold pendant with diamonds and lemon quartz from Avant Garde Collection.

Earrings. Movable drop earrings accent your outfit and don’t need to be paired with anything. Try Panthère de Cartier earrings on and you will be impressed by these geometric-style panther paws in yellow gold spotted with black lacquer and tipped by diamond pads.

Rings. Where the king of the rings is there’re no more rings. Vivat The Spirite of de Grisogono – the worlds largest cut black diamond!

Summary. Think of one emphatic but not leadening piece of jewelry per outfit. The color number one is black, yellow and deep red are also very trendy this season. Find the acceptable variant like a black pearl pendant instead of a black pearls strand, or black leather instead of black diamonds. The earrings tend to Constructionism. The rings are still huge.

Wedding Rings. History and Traditions

::08 June 2010 :: admin :: General, Tips 2 Comments

When always on the go, most people rarely speculate on the history and sense of traditions, rites and rituals that we may observe every day.

The tradition of wearing wedding rings, integral part in many cultures, is covered with the dust of its long existence. Let’s reveal it.

Let’s face it, slipping a ring on a husband/wife’s to-be finger we just confirm the marital status in a nice romantic way. Sometimes rings can help convey the message: Hey girls/guys, move away, she/he’s mine.

But what did this tradition mean for our ancestors?
Throughout the history a ring was the symbol of contracting a marriage. The wedding ring represents eternity since it is a circle and depicts no ends that diverge – a perfect symbol of union and togetherness.

Egyptian pharaohs are considered to have introduced this tradition. Their rings were more than chunky as they served as seals. Later, lower social strata followed this tradition.

The Ancient Romans presented the ring to the bride’s parents as a symbol of commitment and ability to maintain a wife to-be. Besides, the wedding ring was metal.

It was only with the extension of Christianity, namely in the 4th century A.D. that rings became wedding rings as before that they had been a part of the engagement ritual.

Since its very beginning rings have been worn on the third finger of the left hand. It was considered a harbinger of good luck and happiness for the family as even the Ancient Romans believed that blood ran directly from this finger to the heart. It was said to be symbolic of love and honor. According to the Christian laws, the wedding ring, symbolic of commitment and loyalty, should be quite plain. However, nowadays this rule is not so strict. Considering individual choice has become paramount and jewelry rings with gemstones are absolutely acceptable.

However, along with the wedding itself, the Christianity dictates it to go after the engagement. Besides, the ring the bridegroom presents during this ritual is usually much more expensive than the one slipped on the finger during the wedding.

As for the rings set with diamonds, this practice was first introduced by the Roman emperor’s Fredrick III, court. In 1477, the young archduke Maximilian ordered a ring made of compressed gold and silver and set with diamonds in the shape of the letter “M”.

However, whatever metal and gemstones we choose for our wedding ring, let it bring love and happiness.

Man jewelry rules

::05 June 2010 :: admin :: General, Jewelry Add Comments

All man jewelry should be simple in design and of excellent quality. Never reject things because they are not the latest fashion. For men, an ancient signet or a pin with a big diamond are status symbols. The excellent jeweler’s art raise all possible objections.

A signet produces a better effect on a long-fingered man’s hand than on a plump and short-fingered one. In case it’s an ancient gold signet with an official seal or a monogram you can wear it on a little finger of either hand. Choosing the left one you “soothe the pain” of a too strong hand-shake. A signet on a forefinger or a middle finger looks melodramatic and stagy.

The watches and cigar-cases can only be gold or silver, steel or platinum, enamel is also ok.

The cigar-case should not be decorated with precious or semi-precious stones.

The wrist-watches match an evening suit unless they have a leather wristlet. In such situations men are supposed to wear flat gold or platinum watch on a thin gold or platinum chain.

An Ascot-tie (a wide square-ended tie worn in a knot) is decorated with a moonstone or amethyst pin or other light stone. A pin isn’t worn with usual ties. The Ascot-tie can compliment only cut-away suits (appropriate for important or very festive day-time events).

The pearly collar-studs are a must for a shirt in a cut-away suit. The cuffs are linked with gold cuff-links-chains which can be decorated with precious stones.

Traditional and Contemporary Hawaiian Jewelry

::28 January 2010 :: admin :: General 1 Comment

The Hawaiian Islands are well known for her sandy beaches, beautiful weather and world class surfing spots. But there are literally hidden treasures lesser known of. I talking about the beautiful and history-tied Hawaiian Jewelry. The jewelry that were popular among the royalties of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

First a quick history lesson. The Hawaiian kingdom had long enjoyed a favorable diplomatic relationship with England. When the Hawaiian Queen Kapiolani and Princess Liliuokalani attended Queen Victoria’s Jubilee in 1887, at the Jubilee they were presented with solid gold bracelets, with their names cut out in Old English Lettering filled with black enamel. The Queen and the Princess were so enraptured with their unique gifts that they had similar bracelets made for other Royal members upon their return to Hawaii.

Today’s Traditional Hawaiian Jewelry still retains those intricate designs. But the type of jewelries have expanded to include rings, bracelets, pendants, and ear pierces. They are made usually from yellow gold and sterling silver with hand engraved scrolls and the popular Hawaiian flowers, hibiscus and plumeria, also Old English lettering in enamel or raised lettering. These heirloom jewelry are truly timeless pieces, that can be passed down from generation to generation. Taking it a step further, there’s new fusion of design taking place, mixing traditional designs with new and trendy elements. Such as the modern and contemporary Hawaiian Jewelry collections from Luxygoods. The Hawaiian Jewelry we normally thought of has taken a whole new direction. With designs ranging from crosses, hearts, fishhooks to skulls, decorated with different type of stone, such as diamond and onyx. Experimenting with different metals, such as platinum, white/pink golds and also black-coated sterling silver. But with all these new elements, the essence of Hawaiian Jewelry still can be felt in the meticulously hand engraving by our skillful artisans and jewelers. The labor of love and attention to details and the strive for perfection are easily seen in every single piece of jewelry the artisans brought to life
