Being born in April may be lucky, but being born in the modern society is even luckier if you want a wide range of diamond choices and styles for your birthstone jewelry. Continue reading »

    Purity RingAs society redefines the nature of relationships, one piece of jewelry has gotten more popular over time: the promise ring. Unlike an engagement ring, a promise ring can symbolize a wide range of commitments and connections. Promise rings are used as “pre-engagement” rings when a couple wants to show they are committed their relationship, though that may not mean marriage. Who better to model the nouveau relationship jewelry than Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger?  She is sporting a promise ring to show her committed live-in relationship with her boyfriend, David Krause, even though she admits they are not engaged.

    Promises, Promises

    If it’s not an impending wedding you’re promising, than what are you celebrating? Promise rings can be given for a variety of reasons, and both men and women can wear them. They can represent a personal promise to stay chaste until marriage, show a step before engagement like living with someone or signify a special love partnership that does not lead to marriage. Promise rings can also show friendship instead of love, or keep someone accountable for their actions, like a vow to quit drinking or smoking. Of course they can be a placeholder for a future engagement ring if a couple just wants to celebrate a relationship of love, but neither want to officially get engaged yet.

    Unique as a Snowflake

    A promise ring is usually not as extravagant as an engagement ring, but is usually uniquely beautiful. For a ring that will signify a major milestone or promise to someone or some cause, you may want to utilize the myriad of non-traditional designs out there to create your unique piece. With few customs to dictate what a promise ring should or should not look like, it is left to your imagination to choose how to symbolize your promise. A religious symbol is appropriate for faith-based promises, whereas a friendship could be symbolized by the birthstone of each person. Regardless of how you choose to embellish your ring, the ring is but the physical acknowledgment of the deeper promise that it represents.

    61907_mother_locketMother’s Day is a time for you to celebrate your mother and all she has done for you. While it may seem like a holiday created by Hallmark to sell greeting cards, that really doesn’t matter as your mother deserves a special day in order to relax and enjoy her children or, if she chooses, a day to enjoy herself without the everyday stress of being a mother. This day is one that can be filled with celebration as well as gift-giving to make her feel good about all of her hard work. As a mother yourself, you may appreciate what your mother has done for you even more now that you see all of the hard work and dedication it takes to be a good mom. Most mom’s would rather you just visit and have a nice day with them, but many opt to give their mom something special on her special day. You could get her a day of beauty and relaxation at a local spa or even a nice dinner out to make her feel special. Flowers are always appreciated, but the best gift for a mom on Mother’s Day is most certainly jewelry. What woman doesn’t love jewelry? Not only is it beautiful, but it can be used as a symbol of your mother’s dedication to motherhood and how much you appreciate all of her efforts.

    1010901_brides_handsIf you want to design your own engagement ring, you might want to take your hand size into account. All jewelry will either focus attention towards a body part or away from it. Some diamond shapes make your fingers look more slender, for short stubby fingers, and others will make them look chubby. The same is true with necklace styles that can either draw attention to a beautiful neckline or make everyone stare at your big breasts. The large statement earrings and necklaces that are popular right now still have to be proportional to your body type or it can end up looking like they are weighing you down instead of adorning you. Be careful when looking for jewelry pieces to make sure they enhance your body type in ways that make you more attractive, not less.
