Fashion Angels Enterprises Are Making Positive Waves!

imgname--positive_icon_bracelets---50226711--images--fashion-angels1Now, I am not usually one for icon bands or bands are all actually but Fashion Angels Enterprises has actually come out with some cool looking bracelets.  These particular bracelets are actually designed for kids and are bright, colorful and look absolutely incredible on anyone, especially kids.

The cool thing about these bracelets is the fact that each band is made from silicone and the ions are actually extremely positive – which is pretty cool.  Whether you are looking for a peace & love heart or you want a hope sign … you can certainly find a band that suits you.

Just remember that Fashion Angels Enterprises is the brand and these bracelets are definitely making all kinds of waves.

M. Khordipour Enterprises Jewelry — Breathtakingly Beautiful!

M. Khordipour EnterprisesI am one of those people that covet – I know that it is a sin but I have to say that everything I see that is done by M. Khordipour Enterprises I covet.  Not only does this particular brand look incredible on your finger but just seeing it in the store in NYC is enough for me … besides actually touching the jewelry.

What I love about anything done by M. Khordipour Enterprises is the fact that they take such care with their pieces and that they truly know exactly what they are doing.  Not only does every piece that comes out of the back room beautiful but it is done up in such a way that makes you want it.

Take this unique and different aquamarine/diamond ring.  Not only is it beautiful but it is definitely a left-hand ring that can be worn with anything!

Trends In Jewelry For 2010: 2

img-thingAlthough the metal disc design is something absolutely beautiful and totally in right now, I can tell you for sure that there are a ton of other trends out there that you are going to see pop up in 2010.  One trend that you are going to notice is a lot of natural stones being produced in a lot of the jewelry.

Natural stones are stones that have been tumbled and polished right up and they look absolutely beautiful encased in gold or silver.  It is a very eclectic look that a lot of people are attempting to pull off and it is only going to grow bigger in 2010.

Another trend in colors is black … a lot of black is going to be shown and going to show up on the runway in 2010, so keep that in mind.

Shattered Dreams? How about Dreams Fulfilled?

shattered dreamsBijules NYC Jewelry is most definitely one of a kind. A very well known and incredibly respected line of both jewelry and accessories, Bijules NYC Jewelry has received renown even through the international presses. The brand is incredibly unique, extremely talented in created pieces designed to celebrate not just fashion and style, but individuality as well.

And it most definitely does so. For example, just take a look at the Bijules 14K Vermeil “Shattered Dreams” Necklace. It is classified as a triptych medallion, because the pendant is hung on three individual gold chains and it actually weaves a story about the process of aging.  Specifically, it tells us that things can get more complicated as we get older, that they can begin to shatter and fall apart — but if we are responsible and if we have a good head on our shoulders, then we can put the pieces back together again and keep our lives in tact.

Talk about a strong message!

Dori Csengeri Brings Aphrodite to Life

aphroditeI have just fallen in love, friends and jewelry lovers, with Dori Csengeri Designer Jewelry in general and a specific piece in general. But first, I definitely think we need to talk a little bit about Dori Csengeri, who finds inspiration in both art fashion. Her jewelry is completely sewn by hand with tried and true techniques. We are talking serious needlework here, among other techniques, which leads to some of the most unique, one of a kind jewelry you will ever hope to find.

They are the true definition of haute couture: handmade and completely original, an array of beautiful stones, crystal beads with a bohemian flair, cabochons, metal, shells, wood, and leather.

Take, for instance, this gorgeous handcrafted Aphrodite Necklace.  With its beautiful color palette and sensual designs, it definitely channels the Greek goddess of Love.

What to Avoid When Buying Jewelry this Holiday Season: 2

jewelryNow, many people who have worked in jewelry stores will tell you that you really want to avoid buying any jewelry from the sales fliers. The reason? Well, the store is likely advertising those pieces because they want to get them out of there. They may not be great quality; at best, they are totally ordinary. Many people in the coming days will be wearing the exact same thing. Go for something more unique instead.

Guys, you cannot just assume that all women are exactly the same when it comes to the jewelry they like. Diamonds aren’t every girls’ best friend. All women have different tastes — that’s why it’s important to study what the recipient seems to like.

You also always want to make sure you are getting a good piece — and no, you don’t have to be an expert to tell. All you need to be able to do is spot occlusions and determine whether or not a stone has a good setting.

What to Avoid When Buying Jewelry this Holiday Season

jewelry-giftIt goes without saying that jewelry makes a great gift during the holidays. However, you can run into a lot of trouble if you aren’t careful. Fortunately we have pinpointed the top mistakes you need to avoid when buying jewelry for someone else.

You need to do your research, first of all. Know what kinds of jewelry are out there. Heck, just do some Googling on the subject. Find out what qualifies a good diamond, what to look for in different gemstones, what cuts are out there, and things like that.

As well, you absolutely have to know what the intended recipient likes. The worst thing in the world is to buy a ruby ring for someone who prefers sapphires or to buy a beautiful pair of earrings for someone who doesn’t have pierced ears!

Go High Fashion with Amethyst Chandelier Earrings

amethyst-chandeliersJewelry designer Linda Singh often visits India, which is the ancestral home of her husband. She finds inspiration there as well, especially in the form of the one of a kind, breathtaking artisan jewelry which can be found at many of the local shops there.

The ultimate result of this inspiration was Sitara Collections, which contain gorgeous accessories that are completely handmade. The best part? A portion of the proceeds for the jewelry are donated to a school located in India.

And why not buy, when you have pieces like these stunning Amethyst Chandeliers? Chandelier earrings are hugely popular, but I have honestly never seen a pair as beautiful as this pair. There are clusters of dazzling amethyst and other amethysts with bezel settings.

Tupperware Parties Get a Whole New Take

tupperwareWhat do you think of when you hear about plastic jewelry? Probably something that comes out of a Cracker Jack box or a gumball machine, right? At the very least, something that looks cheap and could not possibly be fashionable — but, you know, that is not always true.

Check out the blog called Plastic Girl to see an exception. It belongs to Liana Kabel, an artist who is a down right genius when it comes to creating funky, eclectic, and innovative jewelry … out of Tupperware, of all things.

When you consider the fact that her mother was a Tupperware Lady and her father was a jewelry, it really makes perfect sense.

Liana has the ability to turn old Tupperware pieces into amazing necklaces, earrings, bracelets — you name it, she can do it!

And as you can see from this ring, she can do it beautifully.
