Say It With Gemstone Rings

There is an old saying: “Say it with flowers”. This is a lovely sentiment but one where the messenger is short-lived and will wither away after a week or so. The last thing you want is for the message itself to die along with the flowers. So whether you want to express your love on Valentines Day, or give a wonderful birthday present to somebody special in your life, what could be more enduring than a gemstone ring. The thought that goes into an everlasting gift – and the message of love or friendship enshrined in it – is even more powerful if you consider giving a ring where the gem is their birthstone.

A birthstone is simply a gem that represents a particular month of the year. You can give somebody any type of gift containing the birthstone corresponding to the month they were born, for that extra special personal touch. Different civilizations devised their own systems for birthstones, but the ones we commonly use these days are as follows:

  • January – garnet
  • February – amethyst
  • March – aquamarine
  • April – diamond
  • May – emerald
  • June – pearl
  • July – ruby
  • August – peridot
  • September – sapphire
  • October – opal
  • November – topaz
  • December – turquoise

So, for example, if your girlfriend was born in May you might like to buy her an emerald ring for her birthday. It doesn’t really matter what the occasion is, whether it is Valentines or Christmas; a birthstone piece of jewelry will always go down well. Of course, some stones are more expensive than others, and if you are unable to stretch your budget to buy a lavish diamond ring for your April born sweetheart, then in many cases you will be able to get a cubic zirconia ring where the stone matches the color of her birthstone, whether that is a diamond or a ruby or sapphire. Be honest though; don’t tell her it’s a diamond if it is really a cubic zirconia. Your truth and honesty are certainly more precious and she’ll understand in these tough economic times!

Winter White Pea Coat

I own a winter white pea coat and it is something I pull out every winter.  It makes me feel better when I am depressed by how cold it is outside.  Somehow, putting on the white peacoat allows me to battle the snow in a different way.  I match the snow color outside and I sort of blend in with that first fall of snow.

When I wear the white coat around the streets, I get a lot of attention.  People notice the little details, the tan buttons, the high collar, and the double breasted cut of my coat.  People notice the gorgeous white color that stands out from all of the other grey coats that other people have chosen.  Some people call me the “girl in the white pea coat” since that is what I wear all of the time.  With this white jacket, I am armed to meet any new person, whether it is a new friend or a new date.

I use the white peacoat as a weapon.  I wear it to get attention from strangers.  I wear it to feel trendy and stylish even though I have a lot of clothes on.  I wear it to stay warm since it is made of cashmere.  I also wear it as something familiar that I pull out of my closet every year.  Somehow, it makes me feel better that winter has come and I no longer can wear my summer clothes.  I would recommend buying a white pea coat for everyone.

Bridesmaid Jewelry for Your Wedding

Okay, so you have found the perfect wedding dress to wear for one of the most special occasions of your life, and now you are looking for bridesmaid jewelry for the ladies to wear that will be standing next to you as you say “I do”. For some brides to be this is a difficult task. They face the challenge of finding jewelry sets that will match the bridesmaid dresses that they have selected for their friends to wear. They also have a hard time trying to find jewelry that will not make their bridesmaids stand out more than them. There are a lot of different things that a soon to be bride should think about when she is choosing which jewelry that she would like for her bridesmaids to wear. If you look around on the Internet you are sure to find some ideas that you will be able to use in your wedding that will work out great.

Chamilia Swarovski Charms

Some of my favorite Chamilia Charms are the ones that are inlaid with Swarovski crystals.  These particular crystals are made in Austria, a type of lead crystal I believe. In any case they do look lovely, and complement the Chamilia beads really well.

I believe these crystals are featured in over 80 of the Chamilia charms so far, and they’re usually set in the silver beads.  A silver bead with a Swarovski crystal would set you back around $40, though of course the prices vary depending on how many crystals are used in the bead, and what the bead is made out of with silver naturally being much cheaper than gold. It also depends on the size of the crystal used too.

You can check out their selection of Swarovski crystal beads online, and see what I mean when I say they are pretty outstanding. I really like the little angel fish with its beaded eyes, and I adore the wine glass beads with either the red or the white crystals, very cute!

There are too many to list here, that is all the beads that have the Swarovski crystals included in them, but if you are interested most online jewelry stores that sell them will have them listed.

Boys Cashmere Cardigan

I never thought my little boy would take to a cashmere cardigan. Somehow, I always equated it to something that his father should be wearing.  However, when he first felt his dad’s red cashmere cardigan, he asked if he could have something similar.  Sometimes, I bought him the same thing as his father as an incentive for him to dress himself and put on his own clothes.  So, I decided since he asked for the cardigan, I would go out and look for something similar.

It was a lot more difficult finding a boys cashmere cardigan, but I finally found one online.  The price was a bit more than I am used to paying for boys clothes, $100, but I thought it would be worth it if I could get him to wear it over his long sleeve shirts.  When it came in the mail, I had his father put on his cashmere cardigan to show him how similar his was.  Then, I had him put on the cardigan on his own.  Slowly, he put one arm on one side and then the other one in.  Then, he buttoned one button like his father.  As he was buttoning up the cardigan, he started to feel the material.  He even smelled it to see if  it was really different.  You could tell he loved the feel of the cashmere against his skin.  It was so smooth and soft, unlike the wool cardigans that I bought him in the past.  After that, my son never wore anything else except for his red cashmere cardigan.  He wore it for so long that there were holes in the sleeves, and still he would only wear that for the winter.  That red cashmere cardigan was the best investment I ever made for my little boy.

Titanium Rings For Him

Titanium rings for men are popular because they blend boldness with strength and sophistication in contemporary designs in gray and black that had previously been missing in other mens precious metal ring creations. And because titanium is ultra strong while still being lightweight without scratching or denting, it is the ideal choice for mens wedding rings that can withstand a lifetime of use and even quite a bit of abuse.

Colors and Black Titanium Rings

Although titanium is gray it can be treated with heat to refract colors and turn black as well, so that black titanium rings have now become a mainstay in mens fashion jewelry. It’s important that black titanium rings for men be purchase with care because you should make sure that they have been treated at a molecular level so the black finish will not scratch off.
