Superstitious Jewelry – Believe it? Or Not?

Some pieces of jewelry are worn because they are given to them by a special someone. Some wear fashion jewelry because it’s currently in trend. And others are worn because the bearer believes that it will benefit them to wear it.

Do you believe that a piece of jewelry can give you luck? Do you believe that your ring will help you and your fiancé last forever? Do you believe that this pendant given to you can help you win the competition? If you do, then you’re definitely one of the superstitious who wear jewelry because it will benefit you.

Here are some jewelries and their superstitions:

Cross necklaces and pendants

People wear crosses because they believe it will bring them closer to God. They believe that it will protect them. Commonly, when they’re worried about something, you’ll see them kissing the cross or holding it out of fear. A cross gives them the calming they need, every time they feel afraid, worried or stressed about something.

Stars

For those who aspire to be better, a star is their symbol. A star, to them, gives them the luck they need for a go-see, maybe an audition. As long as they see that star, they feel less nervous and more confident about themselves, because they believe that this will help them to achieve their dreams.

Circles

As a symbol of eternity, circles are commonly used by couples to cement their love for each other through jewelry. Rings, as their symbol of love during marriage, is also in the shape of a circle. According to old beliefs, if a couple wears a circle on their finger, it will bind them forever. Unfortunately, this superstition must’ve been used all out, because even with the rings, too many people have ended up divorced. But then again, doesn’t superstition only apply to those who believe?

Pearls

Unlike the earlier 3 mentioned in this article, pearls have a more negative effect. According to superstitious beliefs, if you present pearls to a friend, you’ll end up attracting bad things to them. Pearls, which are in the shape of a tear, bring tears. This is why brides have to be careful not to wear pearls during their wedding. Otherwise, they’ll end up sad for the rest of their lives.

The evil eye

In the Mediterranean countries, the evil eye jewelry (any type of jewelry with an eye as the design) is worn on a baby’s wrist or ankle to protect them from the eye of the devil. According to folklore, the eye of the devil mainly affects babies because they have nothing on their minds just yet. If the baby is affected, this condition will result in emotional upheaval, diarrhea, crying and even the death of the baby.

There are many more pieces of jewelry that have long lost myths, folklore, traditions and legends. Some may believe it and some don’t. While others dwell in scientific beliefs, there’s no harm in knowing about these superstitions. After all, you might be able to use them one day for your protection.

What Design and Type of Wedding Ring Should You Get?

Are you about to tie the knot? After getting your beautiful fiancée the engagement ring that almost cost you a leg, are you ready to give it one more shot? Now that your day is finally coming up, you need to get her the wedding ring that she deserves. But with all the different choices out there, how do you know what design and type of wedding ring to get for her?

Here are some factors to help you choose the perfect wedding ring for your fiancée.

The Metal

Everyone knows how important this is to a wedding ring. Yes, your fiancé may not be materialistic, but you know that she’ll appreciate something with an impressive metal – just like her engagement ring. While gold symbolizes value, diamond, on the other hand, simply states forever. If you’ve given her a diamond ring, you can get her gold this time. Or the other way around. But if you have enough money, settle on a little of both. Tell her what it’ll mean to you and I’m sure she’ll appreciate it.

Budget

Sometimes, this is the decisive factor, even when it comes to wedding rings. However, you have to remember that weddings usually only happen once in a lifetime – or at least, once every 50 years, supposing you and your wife are together for life. For a commitment this long, it deserves a pretty big budget. So before you make any steps into family life, make sure you are ready – both emotionally and financially. Although you don’t have to spend millions on a ring, it does pay to have some money for the wedding itself.

Something sentimental

Besides shining, shimmering wedding fashion jewelry, another thing that will definitely be appreciated by your fiancée is a sentimental wedding ring. This could be something you both were looking at, maybe a ring similar to her mother’s. It could also be a ring with a symbol of your love for her. Unlike engagement rings that will be publicly shown to many people, wedding rings could be private and sentimental, something only the two of you know the meaning of. This way, every time she looks at her ring, she remembers you.

Your Fiancé’s Lifestyle

Not only should you consider your fiancée’s likes and dislikes, but you should also take into consideration her lifestyle. Would she be able to wear her ring every day? Does it fit her lifestyle to wear the ring? Surely, you’d want her to wear her ring all the time, right? But if you get her a really expensive ring and she has to constantly remove it just to keep it safe, then your ring might even be the cause of several problems in the future. And that’s not the ring’s purpose.

Despite the fact that the appearance of a wedding ring will definitely be appreciated, you shouldn’t base your decisions on that alone. Wedding rings have to be valuable to both you and your fiancée to establish a bond. No matter how much it costs, or what metal’s inside, as long as this ring will symbolize your love for her, she’ll appreciate it.

Vintage Fashion Jewelry? Hot or Not?

From simply being the celebrity stylist to the reality TV show that made her a hit, Rachel Zoe is definitely more than just the fashion icon she was known for. And now, even with a baby, she’s still expanding her empire by adding a new line to her long list of accomplishments: luxury fashion jewelry.

This time, her line of costume jewelry is vintage-inspired. Consisting of cuffs, statement rings, earrings and necklaces, she’s divided each into different collections. The collection is inspired out of different decades. The first is from the Old Hollywood glamour in 1920’s, while another inspires the 1970’s fashion. The third collection, on the other hand, consists of fashion from the 60’s with its shapes and colors, while the fourth collection, otherwise called the Knot, features intertwined, artistic pieces.

These luxurious jewelry can be bought at around $140 for a chain bracelet, up to $650 for a tassel-end necklace at 54 inches.

One of these pieces, a gold and black collar necklace is similar to those worn during the time of Cleopatra. At $595, the piece is outlined with gold bars, black quartz at the sides that connects to the glittering Pave Swarovski crystals. This necklace is definitely fashion-forward, despite the fact that it was inspired from fashion from the past.

Another piece at $325, also included in her jewelry line is a wide statement bracelet, also in elegant gold. Accentuated by a somewhat tribal figure (or what is called a Love Me Knot), shining with white Pave Swarovski crystals at the hinges, the cuff bracelet sure looks like a piece worn by an ancient goddess.

Her line also includes earrings, one of which hangs by black quartz rings, which holds onto a gold plated, glittering handle with Pave Swarovski crystals and connects to a red quartz (from afar looks like ruby diamonds!) square piece ($250). Absolutely gorgeous!

The collection will be sold at Neiman Marcus, one of the shops that Rachel Zoe had gone to, even as a child. Now that the luxury jewelry company will be supporting the stylist’s fashion line, the celebrity stylist is even more excited. In support, Neiman Marcus will also be hosting a video and a tab on Facebook, just to help people shop for Zoe’s new line. This video was also posted in Zoe’s Facebook page.

The final verdict?

Rachel Zoe is definitely one of the best designers and stylist in the world. With her long list of accomplishments, this line will surely do well.

Filled with style, personality and elegant colors that complement each other like green, red, gold, ivory and black, decorated with diamonds and crystals, the line is promising for those who enjoy fashion.

Unfortunately, while the pieces are definitely interesting and stylish, the price tag will be a bummer for many. Fans of Rachel Zoe will save up just to get one of these beautiful pieces.

So yes, vintage jewelry – definitely HOT!

What Women Want: The 5 Rings They’ll Always Want

Women are a complicated set of human beings. If you’re a man in a relationship with a woman, you’ll find yourself constantly shaking your head as to why you’re even in that relationship. You’ll even reach points wherein you’re so lost that you don’t know anymore whether she wants something or she doesn’t. It’s a crazy world out there when you’re involved with one. But when you are, and she’s on her best, you know you love her. That’s the charm of women.

And then, there are also those days. Those birthdays, Christmases. Those events that you have to get her a gift. What should you get her? Would she even appreciate it?

If you’ve decided to get her a piece of fashion jewelry like a ring, there are 5 types she’ll definitely approve of.

Wedding rings

This, I’m pretty sure she’ll definitely understand. There’s nothing clearer than saying I want you than a wedding ring. If you present her with this, you can clarify everything she feels for you with just one word. Nothing will probably make her happier than getting a wedding ring from you. Now the only problem is – what design and type of wedding ring should you get her?

Engagement rings

Also highly appreciated by women, engagement rings are definitely welcomed, especially if you two have been dating for some time now. The difference between a wedding ring and an engagement ring, however, is that women tend to like grander engagement rings. These are the rings they’ll show everyone just to prove to them that they’ll be getting married. These are the rings that they’ll boast about, when they show them to their parents, their friends. If you plan to get her an engagement ring, make sure it’s the most beautiful one you’ve ever seen. Getting a sparkly one will also be appreciated too.

Promise rings

Ah, for the young in love. Nothing like a promise ring of forever for young adults or teenagers. Promise rings are NOT called engagement rings, but they might as well be. They might not be as expensive or as gorgeous as an engagement ring should be, but really, these are just women’s excuse to trap you into getting engaged. Anyway, still, women will love to receive a ring full of promises. Just make sure not to break your promises within a month or something.

Statement rings

It’s good you take note of your girlfriend’s fashion. If they have a liking for statement rings, you can give them one just for the kicks of being fashionable. Unfortunately, if you want to get a good statement ring for your girlfriend or wife, you may need their best friend’s opinion. After all, a woman’s eye in fashion is definitely different than a man’s.

Diamond rings

And the ultimate gift. Women cannot NOT love diamonds. It’s just the way it is. Diamonds are a woman’s best friend because they are forever. If you and your girlfriend have been fighting, present her with one and I’m pretty sure she won’t be mad anymore. However, if you’re giving this gift as just a plain gift, make sure that she knows it or else, she’ll mistake this ring as an engagement ring. Unless that’s your actual intention, it’s not wise to lead on a woman with a diamond ring. So, have you decided what to get her?

Steps in Choosing the Perfect Gift for a Daughter

One of the best gifts I know I can give my daughter is a piece of jewelry. She just loves jewelry – necklaces, bracelets, even anklets. Unfortunately for me, every teenager changes their likes every now and then, sometimes depending on the current trend and sometimes, it just depends on their own style. So while I’d love to give my daughter a piece of fashion jewelry as a gift, I don’t know whether she’ll like the piece.

However, after a few years of watching her fashion style change, I realized a way to get her the perfect gift without having to ask her.

First, well, since she’s a teenager, she always ends up subtlety hinting what she wants even if she doesn’t know it, which is a good thing for me. I don’t always have to guess whether or not she likes something. Whenever we go shopping, I watch her closely, because every time we pass through the jewelry items at the store, there’s always that one piece that will get her attention, although she doesn’t exactly stop to take a look at it. Here’s the hard part – sometimes, she doesn’t really like the piece and she’s just looking at it. So, how was I supposed to know that right?

Second, I check out the style magazines she reads. Teenagers love to look at stuff on magazines because it contains everything currently in trend. I know I’m technically not allowed inside her room, but when she’s in the family room looking through magazines, I always make it a point to check it out as well.

Third, I watch her current style. Since I let her wear almost anything she likes, I take note of the kind of clothes she wears, what jewelry she asked to buy before and what kind of jewelry she likes to wear now. I also make it a point to watch the latest trends in fashion jewelry, just in case there’s something new there that would fit her tastes.

The thing is, daughters may be hard to impress, but they’re not impossible at all, especially if you watch them closely. No matter what I give my daughter, she may not wear it all the time, but I know she’ll appreciate it.

What Jewelry Should You Wear to a Beach Party?

Now that summer’s here and all the hottest beach parties are on the rage, you’re probably gearing up on what to wear for one of the biggest events in your school. As much as you think those hippie tie-up jewelry make an awesome beach accessory, you can’t help think of those new fashion jewelry sets that your father just bought you. What jewelry can you wear to a beach party?

Silver jewelry
I know. Just thinking of bringing your silver into the water is already devastating. Thinking of how fast the color will tarnish can make me cry, especially when I think about how much I spent for my silver. While it is recommended that you NEVER wear silver to the saltwater ocean, you can still wear one while partying. Just make sure that throughout the whole day or night, if you end up drunk, you don’t end up in the water. Because that would be fatal for the jewelry and possibly you, too.

Long chains, bling-blings and pendants
During proms and formal birthday parties, everyone likes to wear their best. But during summer parties, everyone is entitled to dress down. And I mean dress down. Since you will be going to a beach, gowns will probably get you more laughs than adoring looks. Anyway, just because bling-bling and long chains look good against anyone’s body, emphasizing their chest and torso, it is one of the most commonly worn types of accessory for a beach party and just about any other high school or college party.

Studs and buttons
The problem with wearing long, dangling earrings and hoops to a beach party is that you’ll never really know what can happen by the end of the night. What if one of your expensive dangling earrings accidentally fell off? I doubt you’ll be able to find it in the sand. This is why, when it comes to earrings and beach parties, studs and buttons will always be your wiser choice. At least no one can knock your studs off, unless they truly mean to remove your earrings.

Beach parties can be a lot of fun – until the time you lose your jewelry in the midst of it. So, in order to avoid this from happening, don’t wear too expensive jewelry and double check the clasps in all of your pieces just to ensure its security. Oh, and don’t get too drunk.

The Do’s and Don’ts in Wearing Your Jewelry

I’m sure having a lot of jewelry can be fun. But it can also be confusing, especially when it’s time to pick out your outfits for the day. Although I enjoy having a big closet, it’s not fun when the fashion police next door mocks me just because I look like a huge potato. This is why I had to learn control when it comes to wearing my jewelry. Do you also need help when it comes to picking out your jewelry? Here are a few tips to avoid over-doing your outfit:

One, never wear too much accessories with one outfit. It’s like wearing jewelry on all your clothes on a stormy, winter day. It exaggerates your outfit and it makes your outfit look cheap. Not only that, if you wear too much accessories, people will think that you look like a bad costume. Unfortunately, yes, that can happen. This is a practice only acceptable on Halloween, by the way.

Two, only choose the right accessories for your outfit. Don’t just wear any designer fashion jewelry because it looks good. Instead, you need to base your accessories on what you’re wearing. For example, there was a time when I wore a nice dress with a pretty neckline, one that had knitted details along my lower neck. When it came to accessorizing, I chose not to wear a necklace anymore, because the knitted details were enough to emphasize my neck. I did wear a nice bracelet, though.

Three, avoid wearing big, bold colors of jewelry on any formal wear. For some reason, if you choose to do this, your outfit will either turn out to look casual, or you start looking cheap, especially to other people in the same event.

Four, never dress in the dark. Even if you’re in a rush, don’t just pull out jewelry sets from your collection and run out the door. Take it from me, when this happens, your jewelry almost always tends to turn out to clash your current outfit. Always make it a point to check the mirror before heading out the door and choose your colors carefully, in order to match your current outfit.

Since I have a lot of fashion events to go to, I make it a point to double check my outfit and jewelry before leaving the house. As you all know, making a negative mark on the fashion police is a no-no for me, so I’m always out to impress. If you have the same goals that I do, which I’m sure you do, then these tips can help you become a staple in the best-dressed department.

How about you, fashionista? Are there any other tips you have for wearing jewelry?
