Rhinestone Hoop Earrings: They Are Back In Style!

Rhinestone Hoop Earrings When I think of rhinestones – all that usually comes to my mind is my bedazzler, however these are not like the little gems that I used to glue to my denim jacket – these rhinestones are actually beautiful and to be honest … hoop earrings are actually in right now.  The cool thing about Rhinestone Hoop Earrings is the fact that they are inexpensive yet they look expensive … which is the entire point right?  Right.

One thing that I have noticed about rhinestones is the fact they sort of look like diamonds – however they aren’t and they are glitzier and more glamorous, which makes them perfect paired with your little black dress or even just some skinny jeans and an off-the-shoulder top.  Anything sexy and fashionable would make these earrings stand right out!

Say It With A Ruby!

Ruby RingsJewelry is more than just the look of it – when you wear a piece of jewelry, there is something that goes along with it … status.  That is very true when you wear a ruby.  Not many people can pull a ruby off, but there are some of them that can and personally, I think that real rubies are absolutely beautiful.  The Indian population is known for their use of rubies – whether it is on their foreheads or on their toes, rubies are very apparent and definitely part of the culture.

However, that does not mean that you can not wear them either.  Actually, ruby engagement rings are becoming increasing popular and I think that is beautiful!  I love – love, love red gemstones and rubies are definitely my favorite!  Whether you surround them with diamonds or you are looking for just a solitary ruby – your ring will look beautiful!

So really – rubies are the best in the world for the changing of the times and they are becoming popular everywhere!

Forget Bra Straps — Use Pearls!

elitepearlbrastrapPearls have long been a staple of jewelry fashion.  A strand of pearls around the throat is a perfect accent for the famed little black dress.  Pearl earrings can add a touch of class and elegance to any outfit you can even think of putting together.  Even pearl rings and bracelets have their place as the perfect accessories.  But did you know there are other places to wear pearls?  Such as … over your shoulders.

It is summer — of course. Lots of ladies are wearing things like sundresses and off the shoulder tops, halters, and things of that nature — which does pose a problem: exposed bra straps.

However, Margarita Couture can fix that, with their Elite Pearl Straps, which go for only about thirty five dollars a pair. They are made of gorgeous freshwater pearls and they are completely adjustable. All you have to do is replace the straps on your convertible bra with these straps, and you have instant jewelry!

Rive Gauche by Jean-Louis Jewelry Is Hot This Season

Jean-Louis Jewelry Rive Gauche.  Is that a name that you know?  If you are not a jewelry buff like I am, you probably have absolutely no idea what that name is.  It is actually a brand name for some of the best jewelry in the world.  Rive Gauche Jewelry is interesting and sold only on HSN, which is not what I watch all that often, but I might now that I know it is just sold there – I’m an internet chick, I look everything up on the web.  What makes this particular jewelry so interesting is the fact that it is made with Technibond.

What is Technibond?  It is actually a patented gold plating process that every single Rive Gauche piece of jewelry goes through.  Basically, it consists of about 40mm of 18K gold bonded with some sterling silver to make this beautiful lighter gold color that looks awesome.  Each and every piece of this jewelry that is sold off of HSN has a lifetime warranty, so you never have to worry about it!

So this is just one example of an HSN piece – you should look up some more, because they truly are worth the money spent!

Red Romancing the Stone

argyle-red-romanceIf you know L. J. West, then you know that the company is very well known for creating pieces featuring diamonds in rare and unquestionably stunning colors. If you are a fan of diamonds, then you have likely seen L. J. West’s gorgeous selection of green diamonds, blue diamonds, and pink diamonds.

However, the company has outdone even itself with what you are seeing here: the Argyle Red Romance. It is considered an utterly unprecedented piece, and it is quite easy to see what.

The ring is platinum with three matched diamonds in a color that tastefully, stunningly mixes red and purple. The stone in the center of the ring is a whopping 1.90 karats, while the stones bracketing it are 0.49 karats and 0.54 karats, respectively.

As you might expect, a ring like this fetches quite the premium price. Just to give you an idea, consider this: for a single red diamond which is not even an entire karat, a buyer at an auction paid one million dollars.
