There are so many important and special touches that you have decided upon to make your wedding day a romantic and memorable occasion.  When it comes to your bridal jewelry, you feel the same way.  Selecting the bridal jewelry that will give you the added sparkle and glamour to finish your look off is as important as the selection of the wedding dress.
Pearl and Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings

Nothing says “bride” like beautiful, sparkly bridal jewelry.  Whether you love pearls or have to have swarovski crystals, your bridal jewelry should be your spectacular finishing touch.  When selecting your bridal jewelry, keep in mind the style of wedding you are having.  Are you a traditional bride and think pearls are perfect, or does your taste run for the unique and classic style?  Whatever your tastes, choose bridal jewelry that compliments your wedding gown.

Lariats and drop necklaces look lovely draped around any bride with an open backed dress or a plunging neckline.  Chokers are great for halter wedding gowns, a parallel in design.  When choosing what type of gemstones or precious stones you will wear, consider your wedding gown again.  Is your wedding gown covered in pearls or crystals?  Stick with that theme, your bridal jewelry will compliment your entire look.

In addition to looking great on your wedding day, wearing your bridal jewelry again for more special occasions will remind you of how wonderful your wedding day was.  Not to mention, how gorgeous you looked.  Cherish the jewelry you wear on your wedding day, it can be a constant reminder of your love together and the wonderful commitment you made together.

 “The only real failure in life is one not learned from.” Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book
Ah, graduation. A lot of hard work, time, talent, money and drive have led to this point: a milestone that will be celebrated, photographed and remembered forever. Whether from high school, college, law school, medical school, or what have you, graduation is a wonderful time of excitement and change.
How to mark the occasion? You can always write a check. (What new graduate doesn’t need money?) Before you whip out your wallet, however, remember that cash is practical, yet very impersonal. Because you’re reading this, it’s a good guess that the graduate is a special woman in your life, she worked hard to get where she is, and she deserves a graduation gift that is truly memorable.
How about something memorable, practical, meaningful and beautiful? Try pearls.

Nugget Pearls and Sterling silver Hoop €35
Pearls—whether pearl studs, a pearl pendant or a beautiful pearl strand—is a classic and wonderful addition to any woman’s jewelry box. Whether she’s heading off to college, interviewing for jobs, about to embark on a career, or planning a wedding, the recent graduate can wear pearl jewelry for instant polish. Added bonus: She’ll remember you every time she wears them.
Which pearls to choose Pearls come in many beautiful styles, shapes and designs, but for graduation, a simple classic style that will stand the test of time is best. (They don’t call them staples for nothing.) Because classic pearls are so popular, there are a variety of options from which to choose. The following are classics she’ll reach for again and again.
Pearl and Sterling Silver Chain €45
Tumblr media
• Pearl stud earrings: The great thing about pearl studs is that they go with everything. Round, white pearls with a rosé overtone flatter most skin types, and make a wonderful addition to any jewelry box. Some stores even carry pearl studs for non-pierced ears. 
• 16 inch pearl strand: A matched pearl strand is a jewelry staple for a reason: it’s a classic—not to mention a no-brainer accessory that a woman can reach for to instantly add polish to an outfit. Shorter strands worn closer to the throat draw attention to the wearer’s face and skin; with their dewy complexions, young women look fantastic in pearl chokers. This style sits close to the throat and looks great with a business suit, v-neck sweater, tee-shirt or open-collared dress shirt. • 18 inch pearl strand: This slightly more versatile, “princess” length necklace can be worn with most any neckline, and will serve the graduate well throughout her life. The princess length is a very popular choice for a great reason: it works well with everything from turtlenecks to sweaters, business suits, dress shirts, and more.   • pearl pendant: A pearl pendant necklace featuring a single, large pearl is a great option that can be worn with many different styles. Choose a thin sterling silver or white gold chain for a modern look. • pearl bracelet: A perfect complement to a bold watch, and slightly more affordable than a pearl necklace, a pearl bracelet adds polish and class. • pearl ring: A pearl ring can make quite a bold and sophisticated statement, especially when the ring features a single, large pearl. The only downside to buying a ring is that you need to know the graduate’s ring size. Classic pearl rings look fantastic with both white and yellow gold.
Many retailers and online stores sell classic pearl jewelry in sets. Not only is this great because you pay less for the set than if you purchased a necklace, earrings and bracelet separately, but buying a pearl jewelry set provides the added bonus that the pieces will match.
What to look for No matter which style you choose, or whether you buy pearls from a local jewelry store, large retail chain or Internet store (which should offer adequate descriptions of what you’re buying along with a money-back guarantee), keep in mind these tips when you’re shopping for pearls and you won’t go wrong:   • You’ll pay more for larger pearls. In general, a larger pearl takes longer to form, and the chances of finding a perfectly round, large pearl are slim. After the 7.5-8mm mark for freshwater cultured pearls and akoya cultured pearls, the most popular pearl types, prices rise dramatically. A 6.5mm strand is both lovely and affordable—and perfect for young women. • Pay attention to luster and surface. Pearls should have a high luster, or surface sheen, meaning they reflect light well. They should also be free from large blemishes such as chips and pits, although small blemishes are acceptable. An absolutely perfect strand is likely faux. Pearls are, after all, a natural product, and small variations are to be expected and do not detract from the pearls’ value. • Round is the hands-down favorite shape. While baroque pearls are gorgeous, and button and coin pearls are modern and affordable, when it comes to classic pearls, round is still in. To check that pearls are uniformly round, ask the jeweler or read the Internet description. If you can handle the strand, roll it on a table. Matched pearls will roll smoothly. • Thickness is important. Most pearls sold today are cultured pearls, and the best ones are formed in oysters or mussels that have been implanted with small, mother-of-pearl beads and mantle tissue or mantle tissue only and left in the water long enough for a sufficient coating of nacre to form. Avoid pearls that have been implanted with large plastic or glass beads or harvested prematurely; they will flake and peel easily. • Pay attention to uniformity. Make sure that pearls in a piece of jewelry are the same size, color, shape and luster. • Beware: Some jewelry makers try to hide smaller or imperfect pearls near the clasp. • Choose color carefully. Pearls look best if they flatter the skin tone of the wearer.

Follow these pearl-buying tips, choose wisely, and your graduate will have a jewelry staple she’ll treasure forever.
Small single strand of Pearls is also available.

Affordable Pearls a click away
Tumblr media
If you are looking for high quality jewelry at affordable prices, without the hassle and delay of visiting brick and mortar stores, then you should consider switching to online purchases. It is simple, effective, time saving, and less costly than shopping at traditional jewelry stores.  It also provides for a virtually limitless selection of Pearls, gemstones,  and more
Tumblr media
Ever get tired of searching through endless mall shops, trying to find high quality jewelry at affordable prices?  How about attending big jewelry sales that just fail to deliver?  If this sounds familiar to you, you should join a growing crowd of millions of consumers who are finding affordable, high quality jewelry online.  That can all be found online and purchased from the comfort of your own home.
Cultured Freshwater Pearls
Tumblr media
Nowadays, internet shopping has become appreciated and used by all social and age groups, as an ideal alternative to crowded, schedule restricted jewelry shops. And why shouldn’t it be so popular when it saves you precious time, effort, and money?  Imagine having to find a special Pearl Necklace or Earrings just a few days from such holidays as Valentine’s Day, when all the jewelry stores are invaded by hundreds and hundreds of people just as busy as you. Senseless hours being wasted perusing through overprice jewelry being sold by commissioned sales associates.  It’s time to find a better way.
Tumblr media
Online jewelry shops offer a varied range of products, from earrings to gemstone jewelry, from Necklaces to Bracelets  (for special occasions).  A variety of products, for all tastes and fit for every occasion, lie waiting to be discovered. You can easily find the most amazing pieces of jewelry, from diamond anniversary bands to golden or pearl rings and earrings.  And online selection cannot be beat.  There are literally millions of pieces of jewelry available on the web – far more than any one store could ever stock.
Tumblr media

Of course, the best feature of online stores is that the prices are usually much lower than brick and mortar shops.  Online stores do not have to invest in costly showrooms and have a much lower overhead.  This savings is passed on to you, and you benefit by having the same jewelry items at reduced prices.  Moreover, many online jewelry stores offer free shipping and money back returns so you can buy for less, but still buy with confidence.
Online jewelry shopping is a booming industry as more and more people are feeling comfortable with making larger purchase online.  Buying jewelry online just makes sense for so many reasons – the time saved, the virtually limitless selection, and affordable prices.  It just can’t be beat.
So the next time you are planning on surprising your loved ones with a piece of jewelry you know they’ve been craving, remember to first check on online stores for the best prices and offers. In doing so, you’ve assured yourself a way to a satisfactory shopping experience and have saved yourself the trouble of waiting in line at a big store.  Once you’ve experienced the simplicity and effectiveness of online transactions, especially on luxury products like gemstones and jewels, you may never want to go back to brick and mortar shopping again.

5 Tips for Buying Handcrafted  Jewelry Online
www.barbarahallcreations.ie
Tumblr media
Genuine handcrafted jewelry is as beautiful as it is unique. Whether you're looking for pieces to add to your collection or are shopping for gifts, there are excellent online sources for handmade earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. For a wonderful buying experience, follow these five tips.
1. Find a reputable source. This may go without saying, but don't confuse commercially manufactured jewelry with handcrafted  jewelry. The latter is made by artisans that take great pride in their work. It's helpful to look for a company that has been in business for decades, and that has been selling online for at least five years. 
2. Take advantage of customization. When jewelry is handmade, it can be customized in any number of ways, from the lengths of chains to the types of gemstones used . You don't need to settle for "almost good enough." Instead, you can get the piece you've always dreamed of, in exactly the right size
Tumblr media
. 3. Measure carefully. Because customized pieces generally aren't returnable, it's important to make sure that the handcrafted  jewelry you order will fit. It only takes a few minutes to get a good measurement, and doing so will ensure that the necklace or bracelet you order will be exactly what you want. You can a use string to measure for bracelet, necklace, or anklet lengths.
 4. Do your gemstone research. The best online jewelry sites have a wealth of information on gemstones. Before you order, read up on the gemstones you are considering. It's important to know, for example, that aquamarine can be cleaned with dishwasher detergent, but that ultrasonic and steam cleaning may damage the stone. Similarly, you may know that pearls are delicate and can easily absorb liquids, but you might not know that turquoise is also porous and can easily become stained.If you're going to order jewelry with gemstones, it's also crucial to know whether the stones are natural or if their colors have been enhanced. Reputable artisans will freely share this information. Don't be alarmed, however, if the stones have been heated or irradiated to intensify or change their colors. Naturally colored rubies, sapphires, and topaz, for example, are extraordinarily rare; it is an accepted practice within the jewelry industry to enhance gemstone colors.
Tumblr media
 5. Invest in the real thing. Silver jewelry is gorgeous, but only if it's real silver. Make sure that the online source you select uses either sterling silver (.925 or 92.5 percent silver) or fine silver (99.9 percent pure silver). When you invest in handcrafted  jewelry, you're not only buying a piece you will treasure, but one that is likely to become an heirloom for future generations.
