Gifted Hands Store

So the season of Love is upon us. The stores are filled with pink and red. Aisles filled with heart shaped boxes of chocolates and the price of flowers is going to shoot sky high in the next couple of weeks.

So what are you going to give your special someone. Perfume is a no-no, it can go wrong in so many ways. Chocolates are so last minute, although they do add to the waistline, they don’t say I planned on this day, more like I thought of you at the last minute. Flowers are pretty but in the trash next week and no one really likes throwing fifty dollars in the garbage.

• Think about something that will be lasting. Think about jewelry, a pretty necklace or bracelet.
• If jewelry isn’t there thing maybe a charming bookmark wrapped in a book of love poems. 
• Reading isn’t their passion but they love a nice bottle of wine. Make sure to wrap it in a velvet bag and include some sparkling wine charms.

Whatever you give your love on the day of hearts and flowers make sure she knows you were inspired by cupid himself.

An often forgotten part of planning your perfect wedding is doing something about the bridal party jewelry. This detail is simple but often overlooked.

You have to consider if you want your party to all match. Do their dresses, shoes and hair all match? If they do you may want their bridal jewelry to match as well.

“Less is often more,” especially when it comes to your bridal parties jewelry. Keep things simple and elegant. Make sure that your party’s jewelry doesn’t outshine yours as the bride is the main focus of the day. You will want to keep the jewelry simple, beautiful and coordinate it with the rest of the wedding.

Whatever type of bridal jewelry you choose, remember that it is your special day so you can personalize it as much as you want. Also you will want to take into account the skin tone, piercings, and dresses of your bridal party when making your selection.

A great thank you gift to your bridesmaids may be to purchase their jewelry for them. Not only does it show your appreciation to them and all they have done but makes sure you get the look you are going for on your wedding day.

The love and appreciation of jewelry knows no bounds. Everybody loves jewelry, not everyone can afford all the jewelry that they love-just like most art lovers could never afford an original piece of art. The lure and sparkle and design of great jewelry is an art.

Jewelry comes in so many forms and is appreciated in so many ways, from the ancient works in museums, to heirloom jewelry you admire in grandmother’s old cedar box, to the mall’s boutiques, corner jewelry stores, and Claire’s or Afterthoughts.

I just love jewelry in all forms. Your taste may be more particular but wither you love a good chunky diamond, an elegantly designed Celtic weave or a artistically put together assemble you have to admit jewelry is the icing on the cake.

My mom’s news year resolution this year is to buy all of her birthday gifts for her children from the good ol’ U. S. of A. So far she has managed but then again it is only January eight. She got my big sister a few rugs that were made by an elderly woman in South Dakota.

Then I started thinking about it and she is going to do just fine if she supports craftsman and women. The internet is expanding to become a great way to get in touch with crafty people out their making goods that you used to only be able to get at the street fairs and school hosted holiday shows.

Well my birthday is next mom and I know just what I want. I want something that sparkles. A piece of handmade beaded jewelry is just what is right for me. And guess what its made in the USA.

Looking for a little sparkle to wear around your neck that won’t break the bank. Swarovski crystal jewelry will do the trick.  They will add to your glam look and make you look even more dressy for your eveing out on the town. 

Crystal jewelry looks especially sweet with V-neck, and scoop neck dresses.

If you are going for more strapless number or something with a more revealing neckline you may want to concider a choker to help even out the attention of your neckline.

Avoid big or chunky jewelry if your assemble is more delicate. Keep the two in sync by choicing a simple chain, or delicate necklace with a few small crystals on it.

Nothing is more personal, nothing is more beautiful, and nothing is more timeless then a gorgeous piece of jewelry. It has been a timeless act to give a precious gift to those you honor and love.

As one of the best received gift items, jewelry holds a sentiment that links a memory to an occasion. Wither it’s an engagement gift, an expression of love or appreciation, or a gift of thanks, jewelry highlights a meaning for the giver and the receiver.

You can make jewelry even more personal by having it engraved, pairing it with a few choice words, or giving it in a memorable way.

However, and whoever you are looking for a unique gift for may I suggest you give them a gift they will never forget.

Unlike so much that you spend money on for your wedding day, your wedding jewelry is a great investment. The cake will get eaten, the dress boxed up, and the photo album forgotten with one framed portrait remaining but the jewelry is you choice for your wedding may very become a family heirloom. Wither it’s the rings, your tiara, the necklace that glittered around your neck or a special bracelet you wore your wedding jewelry is sure to remain around for years.

Even if you don’t pass it on to the next generation you should plan on being able to wear it more yourself. Your wedding jewelry doesn’t have to be expensive to be a timeless piece you wear again and again. Make sure you pick pieces that are sure to look nice on your wedding day and is affordable to your budget.

A great alternative to the sparkle of diamonds is the shear beauty of Swarovski crystal jewelry. The glimmer, diversity and color of Swarovski crystals is almost limitless. You can have custom jewelry created for you by many designers if you can’t find just what you are looking for. Not only is crystal a beautiful alternative to diamonds but its affordable as well.

Can jewelry increase your sex appeal?

Can the sparkling motion of a piece really attract the attention of the opposite sex?

The plain and simple answer is yes.

It’s no coincidence that most jewelry is located near our most vulnerable parts of our body. The bare neck is very attractive to men and dressing it up with a little sparkle will catch the eye and draw attention. The dangling movement of earrings framing your face and the luster of a bracelet highlighting your feminine wrists enhance your looks and therefore improve your sex appeal.

Of course good skin, a nice body shape, and a dazzling smile are big sex appeal factors but why not use the subtleness of jewelry to enhance what God gave you. Use the lush colors of gems, sparkling of metals, and the shapes and designs of pieces to highlight what you have and turn on the charm, so to speak.

So draw the gaze of men by flashing a little jewelry. You might find that at first the crystal jewelry mesmerizes them but then they can’t look away from your smile.

From infants to antsy pre-teenage girls, to adolescent boys, and women everywhere earrings are a steadfast trend in jewelry. Historically earrings have been around from the time of Pirates wearing their gold, to the ancient Asian customs, and middle eastern traditions. Earrings are a great adornment to the face and come in numerous styles.

Even if you don’t fancy the piercing of your ears for everyday wear, clip ons are still available for that special look. Earrings come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles from the traditional gold hoops to the eighties lime green chandeliers, crystal beaded dangles, diamond studs and pearl droplets on your lobes, earrings are a great accessory.

Sometime the perfect earring doesn’t always look as good on you as on a model or your friend. The reason for this is the great variation of facial shape. Here are a few pointers for picking out the perfect earring for you.

If you have round face you will want to avoid round button earrings but those types of earrings look great on thin faces. Try a dangling pendant earring or lots of flowing beads to add length and slim the face.

Large hoops are great for adding length and width to your face that emphasize your cheekbones and nose. If you think your face is too full or too round you may want to try an earring that is oval or rectangular in shape.

If you have a thin or narrow face you want to give the illusion of width. Pick something with horizontal lines or wide hoops.

Sharp features on your face are best softened with earrings with lots of curves, lots of beads on hoop earrings, or rounded earrings.
