Pearls of the Night
On Dancing with the Stars this week (Oct. 20) Julianne Hough and her partner performed a high spirited dance, the jitterbug. Julianne was outfitted as an adorable aproned housewife complete with a double strand of pearls around her throat and multiple strands of pearls on her wrists and finished off by lovely pearl stud earrings.
Will you be the next to follow this latest fashion trend? It seems these lovely gems are a regular feature of the show. On the Sept. 29 episode host Samantha Harris was wearing an amazingly beautiful Tahition Pearl and multi color sapphire cuff bracelet valued over $56k. Choosing the Right Pearls for You. Following the latest jewelry fashion trend, people are returning to one of the oldest precious gems... the ever stylish, classy PEARL.
Pearls are showing up everywhere from brides walking down the aisle, to graduations....to everyday occasions. The much sought after actress Angelina Jolie has been photographed wearing pearls to movie premiers and quiet days picking up her kids from school. She creates a striking effect, as do most women, wearing simply a pair of pearl studs and a string of lustrous, classy pearls.
Choosing the right pearl for you to get the Angelina effect of classic beauty involves factors such as your age, your skin tone, and the use of the pearls. Pinkish pearls compliment fair skin tones with bluish undertones. White, ivory and golden pearls compliment darker skin with yellow undertones. White pearls with a bright silver overtone look good on a "winter" as do many of the grey, silver, and pewter colored Tahition pearls. If you are younger, shorter length necklaces should be opted for as they emphasize your youthful face.
One of the newer trends for this season, however, is being worn by Sarah Jessica Parker and is seen as a statement necklace, which is a very long pearl necklace worn with a sweater or t-shirt. More mature women might prefer a longer necklace to accentuate their classiness and make a statement. The size of the pearls may also be a consideration.....smaller sized pearls are great for lengthier necklaces while larger pearls look fabulous in shorter lengths. Younger girls may look great in a short strand of smaller size pearls, but a more mature figure will look better in pearls that are at least 7mm in diameter.
There is such a variety in this years pearl trends! Some of the trendy colors this season are chocolate brown pearls, khaki and pink....look for them. You will love how this future investment will make you feel like you are dancing with the pearls...I mean....stars.

Finding Elgin Watch Closeouts at Wholesale Pricing
Watches are some of the fastest moving wholesale products from closeouts on the Internet. People are doing big business by just selling watches in retail and wholesale stores, or at online auction sites. A good place to find quality watches is on eBay; you can get a good bargain on watches there. However, not all watches are of good quality. Elgin watches are different, though. They are always in high demand and they have the reputation of being reliable with an unparalleled level of elegance. They sell very fast and can easily be found at online wholesale stores dealing with products from liquidations. You can also physically visit local closeout stores in your area so that the dealer can fit the watch on you.
But, how do you find these watches? You can find them at garage sales, jewelers, private collectors and at online auctions. These watches are available as wholesale closeouts at many online retailers. If you are short of money, it is advisable to try your luck from online auctions that sell goods from liquidations. The major disadvantage with this is that your chances of getting a warranty are very low. If you are lucky enough to get a warranty, it will only be for one year. If the watch has a problem or is damaged upon arrival, it can be very difficult to get a replacement if it came without a warranty. This uncertainty should not discourage you from getting what you want. If you are a stylish person who frequents wholesale and retail stores in search of jewelry and watches, then you may also want to try your luck with these online auction stores.
Just like any other online store dealing with closeouts, it is easy to be duped. You could end up with a fake Elgin watch even though you paid for a real one. There is nothing you can do if you get a raw deal when you end up with a fake watch. To try and minimize the chances of falling victim to an unscrupulous seller, I would advise you to make sure that you get as much detail as possible concerning the watch you intend to buy. Enquire as to whether you can have the watch resized to fit you in case it doesn’t fit properly. Once you buy an Elgin watch it is almost impossible to return it. Don’t make this expensive mistake.
Buying an authentic watch from stores dealing in closeouts can be a good bargain because most of the time the price will be much less than at any other place. You could get one as a gift for that important person to whom you have always wanted to give an Elgin watch. Authentic Elgin watches that you find in online wholesale stores are as a result of liquidations. Those watches could have been in perfect working order before being sold off. If you don’t mind putting on a second hand watch then you can try your luck in these closeout stores. For people willing to pay all that is required to own a brand new Elgin, there are countless wholesale and retail stores where you can get one. Do your homework, buy from a reputable dealer, and you will end up with a high-quality watch at a great price.

They are designed for all ages and generally worn on chains around a person’s neck. The varied sized lockets open in different ways to reveal a space used for storing photographs or other small items such as a curl of hair. But what makes lockets so special in today’s culture?
These precious little pendants mean that the person wearing it has something very close to their heart and therefore so are the contents of it, so it doesn’t really matter what a locket contains, it’s the meaning of what it holds. In the past lockets were made rather large in order to accommodate their contents and miniature paintings of people, but as time progressed and cameras were invented the designs grew smaller and smaller.
The most popular shape for a locket is the ‘heart’. This is a more romantic design and can be given to a loved one to contain pictures of children, husbands or wives. Most heart pendants or other shapes seem to be so popular today due to the brilliant way in which they’re made so that their locket feature is hidden in an ordinary looking pendant.
As well as having importance in everyday life, lockets have also appeared in many films to portray their significance. The stories usually consist of a lost or abandoned child possessing a tiny picture in a locket of the parents that they seek to find. This special significance that a locket holds can sometimes be as important as other jewellery items such as diamond engagement rings when given as a precious gift.
Lockets also expand into diamond jewellery and you can now find many designs that feature a small diamond or gemstone and even places to have special messages engraved for that special touch. They also come with varied patterns featured on the front of the locket such as flowers or spirals to give detail to the material.
Places to find special designs of lockets do not have to be limited to antique stores and small expensive shops found in back streets. The internet now provides a wide range of lockets from wooden and glass to silver and gold, but a more substantial material is recommended for a sentimental item or photo.

The Elegance of Antique Jewelry
The title should in fact be extended further than this: The Elegance of Symbol in Antique Jewelry.
Of all the properties, be it aesthetics or material value, that people, since the dawn of time, have invested in jewelry, the symbol of power is the most important.
Only very few could afford to be adorned with jewelry, so this extravagance is concentrated in upper classes of the civilizations we know. This can be documented from the finds in graves whether they date back to the Bronze Age (2.500 B.C.) or the Middle Ages. Rich graves are better preserved and gold, silver and gems better survive through centuries than leather, wood, textiles, bone, etc. which common people could afford.
All levels of classes are involved in producing jewelry, from the workers in the mines to the jewellers and goldsmiths. We find this to be true whether we talk about the Antiquity or the present.
But also poets, musicians, healers, astronomers, astrologers, painters and philosophers have illustrated the beauty and meaning of gems and jewelry and this narration of culture are shared by all members of society.
These different descriptions and approaches also share the immanent and common purpose that culture invests in meaning: to identify and legitimise power and class differences. Jewelry is always used to signal power, distance, control, prestige, status and place in hierarchy.
Most cultures combine different gems and metals with different level of status, hierarchy, medicine, stars, destiny and the likes.
Symbolic meaning and jewelry also associates power with the beauty, value and magic. Even if each culture intermix and exchange ideas, their cultural representation and different traditions, religion and way of control can be identified through the study of jewelry.
It is the elegance of this symbolic distribution throughout societies, which contribute to the maintenance of hierarchy as culture. As long as all members of a culture love songs and stories about the beauty and bliss of jewelry, they play a role in making symbolic meaning narrated in a meaningful way. Hereby binding together culture, history and hierarchy.

It was not until the 1850s that Americans began to acquire the necessary skills to craft jewelry from metals and gemstones. Before that, they often serve as copper and brass wire fashion jewelry and coins used as buttons. A man named Atsidi Saan learned the art of forging in Arizona to Fort Defiance.
What are more Native American jewelers can trace back to their jewelry techniques. In the 1860s the Navajo people were interned at Bosque Redondo for four years, but when they returned to the mess, they began to use new technologies that Saan had learned in the development of silver jewelry. Their tools were of type crude at the beginning and they use the money to melt coins for jewelry.
The Mexican peso has greater silver content, so it was the favorite to use. In the late 1890s, silver and turquoise jewelry Navajo fact was used to barter with traders coming from the reserves. This practice was stopped after 1950, but still outside the reserves.
The Native American jewelry had an apparent crudeness those collectors today to watch. As new and better tools available, the quality and design of Native American jewelry gradually improved and became the beautiful Jewelry hand it is today.
The two materials most prized by the first inhabitants of America's southwest have been shell and turquoise. To obtain these materials, far trade relations have been established. Historically, in the 18th and 19th centuries, the residents of Rio Grande villages with a leg on each side of the west coast of turquoise trade and other goods for shells and parrot feathers. Chimes turquoise was found in sites around Mexico and has probably been marketed through pueblos of Zuni tribes further south. Today, most of the turquoise is operated in Colorado and Nevada and shipped to the goldsmith workshops or purchased through trade shows by Navajo, Zuni or Hopi jewelers.
Much of this jewelry is extensively available in the Southwest itself as well as jewelry stores throughout the country and on the Internet. Rings, cuff bracelets, pendants, belt buckle and earrings are all items generally made from turquoise and silver.
Other elements such as coral, jasper, mother of pearl, jet and others are used in Native American jewelry today. This unique and original jewelry is generally a very reasonable price for the beautiful craft involved in making them. These Native American jewelry are own by many people today.

This is the matrix or rock in which the lagoon was formed. The hardness of turquoise depends on how near the surface of the earth, it is. Turquoise is too soft and porous must be treated before being used. An epoxy resin is infused into the pores of the turquoise stone to stabilize and make it suitable for use in jewelry.
Most turquoise jewelry items that are available these days are also treated. Ensure that the quality of turquoise stone is high, with a density of about 2.8. The stone must have its own brightness and a matrix structure enjoyable. Occasionally other minerals such as chyrocolla are used to replicate turquoise. Turquoise jewelry is made from reconstituted small fragments of plastic resin and dyes are added.
Native American Turquoise jewelry
Native American jewelry uses widely turquoise stones. Since 200 BC, turquoise has been mounted for silver jewelry. A goldsmith of Mexico is credited with introducing the use of turquoise and silver jewelry to the United States. Turquoise jewelry is said to have many impressive properties.

Walking to the History of the Native American Jewelry
The origins of the Native American jewelry dates back to an earlier era and then go the history books. Since the Americans have been around much longer then the first recorded comments by Europeans or Spanish, it is difficult to say how far back the trends, patterns and techniques of hand made Native American jewelry when go back. What is certain is that the customs that have lasted the test of time. Nowadays we can see new age jewelry, healing gems and jewelry to a range of other styles with original ideas of Native American jewelry.
The great thing about Native American jewelry is the diversity and history differs with the region, it is coming from. South West such as Apache or Navajo Indians have been influenced by the Spaniards and those who have already adopted the pueblo culture in their place of the 14-15th century. A common feature of the hand made Native American jewelry is beads.
Beads have a long custom in all sorts of necklaces, bracelets and others. At the time of Apache and Navajo, the amount of beads they had on their jewelry was a representation of wealth, status and authority.
The spread of bead jewelry was found throughout the South-West because tribes like Navajo were roaming to help subsidize cruel farming circumstances in the desert climate. Today we can see a spread of the hands of the Native American jewelry because of online jewelry retailers and stores crafted after Indian civilization. It is good to know that the ethnicity of the past will continue in the future because of movements like New Age or stores that sell products that mimic of Native American Jewelry.
Many people judge diamonds of the most valued stone, but this does not mean that it is the only stone to work. Emerald, amethyst and malachite jewelry can be as breathtaking. May you ask how other metals and non-ingenious stone is part of the Indian ritual.
Outside the compromise and a roaming lifestyle of many tribes especially in the Southwest took specific metals and stones from those they conquered who were mostly in Spanish for the Navajo. Understanding the jewel you wear can do much more than special. Not to mention that when room catches the eye of someone else you can tell a story about the place where traditions, metals and stones were obtained from. Another great thing about categories such as jewelry New Age is that bit different tribes and traditions are sometimes mixed to create a stunner. Before buying a Native American Jewelry, be sure to get backside on history when he comes and what it means. Good luck hunting for buying Native American jewels.

Some Information About Diamonds
Carat weight
The prices for diamonds depend on a few of things. Carat weight is one of the 4C’s.
This is usually the most important of the 4C’s as the weight dictates the size and diamond shoppers know that the style of ring will depend on the size of the rock. That is, the first most important consideration a person makes will be basic size of diamond they want.
There are differences between TCW (Total Carat Weight) and CT (carat weight). Price is dictated by supply and demand. There are a lot fewer large diamonds then small.
The demand and price is influenced by the middlemen that move the ruff to cut stones and the market. The mines mediate the output and the preferred cutters control the next step. Rarity and demand add to the cost. It seems simple enough but diamonds are not your usual market.
Diamond Magic numbers
The magic number for most people has traditionally been ‘1ct’; this magic number is almost an idiom for an engagement ring. Most people don’t care but for those that do 1.01ct sounds better then .99ct. There can be a discount.
For example:
2.10 (.7ct, .7ct, .7ct) hits a magic figure three times. In that case, .60, .90, .60 costs a fraction less. Then there is .50ct, 1.1ct, 50ct which sounds more expensive to me. Interesting how they combine.
I am noticing that magic figures affect cost less. More and more, stones are bought by size and that may be because modern computer enhanced diamond cutting is able to provide calibrated results, which suit pre-made, pre-calibrated settings. It has become convenient to buy by size. You ask for a 4mm stone at the quality that you want. That is how the trade works.
This is partly why matching random sets is a cheaper way to reach a magic figure. 2.5ct would be an extreme version. (It is also proof that magic figures affect larger stones more). It is a lot cheaper to mix any set adding up to 2.5ct, then to buy one of the same quality. The more sought after and rare the stone the more the magic numbers become important.
The main price hikes representing the magic figures change depending on where your selection is placed in the market. Consistently .70pt is one, 1ct is obvious and 2.5ct is pretty hefty all the way through the 4c’s.
“Smalls”
Small diamonds, say -1mmare sold in bulk by weight after sieving by size and as the sieves portion off the 1.mm stones (.0125ct), etc. The weight is not as important as dimension, (although magic number TCW can conceivably influence the price). Setters dealing with smalls don’t set by weight but they calibrate the sizes by .mm scales. Incidentally, the quality of ‘Smalls’ is valued differently as they are sold in bulk. That is, better parcels cost more and are not directly related to the 4 C’s. The science isn’t the same.
Cut involves all the facets of a diamonds 'make'. It used to determine only the shape of a rock, but now cut grading weighs up factors such as proportion, symmetry and polish.
Brilliant cut. There are ideal parameters for proportions for regular cuts like brilliant cut. Other cuts have less stringent criteria which they can be judged by, but the crown and pavilion angles, along with the table size and overall depth are always important. Unusual cuts like the 'Lucida' still have to conform to the better ranges on ideal parameters for make. There are exceptions in accent stones that are used as design elements and for fancy cut stones. In some cuts the ideal shape is more about the beauty of the look more then the amount of sparkle or face up size.
Step cut diamonds. This style is much less reliant on light return for beauty. Step cuts include, baguette cut, emerald cut and square emerald, and there are different geometrical shapes which are also step cut. The defining characteristic is the stepped angles. While brilliant cut facets are circular and kite shaped, step cuts are flat plains cut horizontal to the table.
Princess cut. This cut was originally cut from certain rough to maximize weight. It has been very popular and is a fast improving cut. The facets are very slight. The shape is basically an upside down pyramid with a relatively small crown. It is often the most preferred cut however it not shaped for the most ‘light return’. The facets are line up toward the culet and the cut can be altered to make the most of the rough to good affect.
Round stones always return the most light. The pavilion facets are evenly lined up, juxtaposed with the crown facets at the desired angle, so with a given direction of light (above), light travels through the table and is returned creating sparkle. It shouldn’t really matter how many facets there are or how they are placed in general. There are variations; however the brilliant cut pattern is most preferred for performance and look. Gems other then diamonds often suit other patterns,
Old cuts: This title refers to older round cuts. There are many different cuts that fit into this area. They tend to be closer to the 8 cut (or single cut) with extra facets. Some have culet cuts which is where the point is flat. They can be quite beautiful and are often found in antique jewellery. There are also many beautiful examples in Art Deco jewellery. They are still produced, but can be hard to find.
Single cuts: This cut has half the facets of a full cut. They are produced in the first stage of cutting. They are the necessary cut to produce the shape of a brilliant cut diamond. Often they are just half finished stones and perhaps speculative in nature. High tech machines are used to create single cuts in small sizes to exact proportions and the cut is in high demand by high end watch makers. It is also used in jewellery to good affect.
Rose cuts: This cut refers to the diamond chip you see in older jewellery. They are roughly shaped with facets. They are very small and made in the days when it was impossible to control the shape in that size.
Not round Some cuts include: pear, marquise, trillion, radiant, baguette, emerald, princess, tapered shapes, and fancy shapes like heart. There are probably as many names for different cuts as words on this page. Some brilliant cuts are modified incorporating the best of both worlds with the sacrifice being spread - face up size, such as the square H&A (hearts and arrows).
The type of facet arrangement is important when incorporating an arrangement of stones in a design. Step cuts with step cuts etc. Some designs suit different styles. For instance square cuts can be used as a border around a round center stone. It depends on whether they are intended as accent stones or they are part of a set such as a three stone, trilogy.
There is no easy way to select a set of fancier cut diamonds if they are to match. The way they combine creates a personality. It is popular to use three stones. The relationship between sizes is a matter of individual choice. Often, the importance of the centre stone is weighed against the two side stones.
Regarding matching three stones by make, it would be a shame not to be consistent. If you are matching a set with diamonds you already have, you can have a G, polish on one side and an EX, polish on the other with no obvious difference. It depends on what is irregular about the polish. There are methods of manufacture that will hide differences and it usually advisable to leave the selection to professionals if you are buying irregular shapes.

Dazzling Pearl Earrings
Pearl earrings, one of the most beautiful and precious gems, never go out of style. Pearl earrings look even more stunning when paired with the right necklaces and bracelets. Pearls come in various shapes, but the common ones include the round, semi-round, button, and pear earrings. Slightly flattened button pearls are the kinds that are frequently stringed into a pair of pearl earrings. Pear earrings, which are sometimes known as teardrop pearls, also make nice ear ornaments.
A nice thing about pearl earrings too, is that they mix well with other types of gemstones like gold and diamond. For a new feel of pearl earrings, there are also the dangling earrings, the clustered earrings, but as they say, nothing beats the original- the classic white pearl earrings.
Pearls symbolize a lot of things: love, luck, happiness, and success. Pearl earrings began from the early Chinese myths that talked about pearls falling from the sky. The pearls were believed to be tears of the gods, which is probably why they are now considered wedding gifts in most countries. Pearl earrings are also standard accessories of brides during weddings because they promote marital bliss. Freshwater pearls are the gemstones for the first year of marriage. These earrings can also be used to celebrate the 3rd, 12th and 30th year of marriage.
Pearl earrings are not just for married women and bride-to-be’s though. Pearls with a hint of color like pink, or even brown and black are used by younger women, while the typical white or off-white are for the more mature women. What’s great about these earrings is that they are fitting for women of all ages.

Why Historical Jewelry?
What can historical jewelry tell us about the past? This huge topic embraces both different cultures and different historical époques dating from prehistory to the start of the 20th century.
From finds from prehistoric graves and caves dating back 25.000 years we know that people since the dawn of time has used ornament made of bone, amber and shells to decorate themselves. But it is from the civilizations like the Sumerian's and Egyptian 7.000 years ago that we learn to connect jewelry with culture. This is because of words and symbols, inscribed in stones, written on papyrus or engravings on precious stones.
So our journey starts with the story told by the ancient rulers of Mesopotania and Egypt and later the rulers and nobles in the Greek and Roman era. This we call the Antique world and antique jewellery refers to finds from the centuries between 3.000 B.C. to about 400 AD.
In Northern Europe we have very little written materials in the era, so it is the countries around the Mediterranean Sea that leave us knowledge about what people thought and believed. In the Bronze Age about 1.700 B.C. until 400 B.C. of the Northern Europe we have very little writings, but the cultures exchanged ideas and trade items with the South and from there we find inspirations in ornaments, coins and weapons. Adopting the believes from the south we see this exemplified in patterns and engraved godlike figures, parades, and animals engraved in precious stones and gold jewellery but our interpretations are only vague.
It gets worse when we come to the times after the Romans. From 400 AD. to about 1000 AD. we talk about the Dark Ages because of the lack of written traditions and trade with the Mediterranean. From 1.000 to 1.400 we have the Middle Ages where hand written European and Arabian scripts is filled with information.
To fill out the gabs jewelry can be one important key to understanding along side with architecture, inscriptions, traditions, everyday artefacts and other archaeological finds. Especially because jewelry mirrors skills that point to the division of labour, wealth, symbols, religion, battles, hierarchy and especially intercultural influences.
The importance of studying historical jewelry stemming from Middle Ages to the 20th century is important because of the same reasons as mentioned above. It is from the design of jewelry that we can see the echoes of Antiquity in the European Renaissance. Italy for example became the principal centre for cameo-carving in the 16th century, exporting work as far as Madrid, London, Vienna and Prague. Both Renaissance Italian and Byzantine jewelry ornaments kept its reference to the past Roman Empire (300 B.C. – 300 AD) and this was along with Greek Philosophy spread with the trade.
