Tips and Tricks for Choosing Silver Rings

I have always been in love with silver jewelry for as long as I can remember. I have such a special fondness for silver rings that you will never catch me wearing gold. A long time ago, I learned that it’s impossible to mix the two, and I don’t really care. Every piece of jewelry that I wear is made exclusively of silver. Of course, I have a few gold pieces but I never wear them. Several years ago, my husband got me a gold watch and I did wear it for a while just for him. After a few months, he learned that he should only purchase silver jewelry for me.

I never take some of my silver rings off my fingers. This is because each of them has a special memory attached, and I feel naked if they are not on my fingers. However, some silver pieces are incompatible with my skin type. Some of the cheaper kinds seem to always turn my finger green or brown underneath. However, I can’t say it’s always the cheap ones because I have spent good money on silver rings that have done the same thing.

I get rid of the silver items that react undesirable to my skin. Some people say that coating silver rings with clear nail polish can prevent any discoloration of the wearer’s skin. However, I don’t really have the time for that, nor do I want to mess with it. I tried to be careful with the rings I buy, but I never know which ones are going to do it. It’s not always practical to buy the most expensive silver rings I can find because I buy so many of them. There are also times when the ones I fall in love with at first glance might not be all that expensive.

You have to make sure that you are buying ones that are pure sliver if you find that you have this problem with silver rings. Of course, if you also react to silver, then this is not a solution. You should be wary of silver items that are free or so cheap it seems to be a steal. This is because these items are usually silver plated rings that might have nickel inside. Nickel may be one of the things that make silver rings react with some people’s skin. You do not have to settle for junk because there are plenty of great rings out there.

How to Buy Indian Jewelry Tips And Tricks

1. Get looking. If you live in a part of the county where there is a significant Indian population, you can probably find stores specializing in Indian goods nearby. Searching the web is another way to browse for jewelry from India, especially if you live in an area where there are few Indians.
2. Think about where you want to wear your jewelry. Indian jewelry can be made to wear on almost any part of the body.
3. Look at quality. Indian jewelry can come in a variety of jewels and metals such as gold and diamond. If you don't want to make a huge investment but love the look of Indian jewelry, look into buying Indian-inspired jewelry made from less expensive materials such as sterling silver and synthetic gems.
4. Consider the meaning. Since jewelry is a part of Indian culture and many of its religions, you might want to check and see if the piece you are interested in has any meaning to others. To Indians, the jewelry can be purely for looks, or it can have religious connections to different stages of life.

Pretty in Pink" Necklace

My "Pretty in Pink" necklace (page 34) wasn't a favorite when I made it, but I've been wearing it a lot lately. It's light and colorful — in summer, a welcome change from all my chain jewelry.

I bought the pink beads from The Beadin' Path, whose website offers an amazing selection of Lucite. You can search by color, or buy bead mixes. They have beads in fruit, shell, and flower shapes, but of course I prefer the oval-shaped fuchsia jelly beans. Smooth and candy-like: yum. They also possess a shimmer that makes them look especially luminous.

To keep the necklace from looking too cutesy, I strung the beads with gunmetal spacers from Vintaj. Jane, who's a BeadStyle editor, suggested that I add chain, which gives you different ways to wear the necklace. Also, that makes the piece less bulky at the back of your neck. By the way, I spend lots of time in Jane's office. Not only does she give fabulous design advice, she's also a sympathetic listener about matters of the heart.

GOLD Jewellery

Jewellery

Has been here for long time!

From time immemorial jewellery (also spelt as jewelry derived from the French word jovel originated from Latin jocale) had been here adorning men and women spelling their class, rank, and social status. 100,00years old remnants of nassarius (shells of marine mollusks) have been found by archeologists to prove the history of ornaments. For poor people of India their daughters’ marriage is a nightmare as huge quantity of jewellery is the pre-requisite (dowry) to be paid to bridegroom!

It is here to stay!

The passing of time could change the stuff of which ornaments are made of; while their functions remain the same. Cowries, animal bones, tooth, wood, shells and carved stone gave way to silver, gold, platinum, precious stones etc. Beads, shells or bird-feathers worn by tribal chieftains to exhibit their social status were replaced by expensive watches, suits, foot-wears- jewellery worn by the new breed of tribal chiefs –businessmen, industrialists and mafia dons.

Religious value.

Ornaments have much religious significance too, a gold plate worn by Indian woman is her ultimate possession to which she may cling, for her it is not just an ornament but a symbol of all her marital bliss and her whole right as a proud wedded wife, which she will not lose even at the cost of her life. Red saffron dot on forehead of Hindu women, glossary with cross worn by Christians, the bangle worn by members of Sikh religion all are more than just ornaments. For Muslims jewellery is taboo for men while permitted for women. Certain sects of Christians ban their members from wearing ornaments.

Italian Gold and Roman Coinage

Eight centuries BC the Italian Etruscans in the Tuscany region produced granulated textured gold work. They made large fibulae or clasps, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. They also made pendants that were hollow and could be filled with perfume. The Italians are still renowned for high quality stylish trend making gold work today.
In coinage the Romans used 18 and 24 carat gold. Being fairly easily available the coinage was the craftsman's raw material for decorative jewel work. 2000 years ago the Romans were using sapphires from Sri Lanka, cloudy emeralds, garnets, amber and Indian diamond crystals. When England was under Roman rule, fossilized wood called jet from the North of England was carved into interesting pieces.

Gems and Pearls Real and Fake

Jewels have always been used as love tokens and whilst many pieces were fine gems and precious metals, good fake jewellery intended to deceive existed. True gemstones and pearls originated from the east and were bought chiefly by the Italians. The Italian merchants then sold the goods on in Europe. Good glass imitations were often used and sometimes with intent as in royal funerary robes and children's jewellery.
Flawless, round, natural, large white pearls were prized more than precious gemstones. The finest of pearls were provided by South India and the Persian Gulf. The Italians, particularly the Venetians and people from Murano, could make imitation glass gems and pearls that were very good likenesses of the real jewels. Recipes for false pearls existed in 1300 when white powdered glass mixed with albumen (egg white) and snail slime, produced beads that were used as imitation pearls.
