Ava Gardner was a woman with a glamorous fashion style that did not go unnoticed.  Whether she choose to wear her best diamond earrings or her favorite Trifari necklace she always looked spectacular.  There are many of us who could pick up a few tips from Ava’s flare!

Joan Crawfard and Joan Collins are another two that simply can’t be outdone.  One must wonder how a women so easily learns to be that refined and beautiful at all times.  Like Cleopatra it seems to be bred deep within the soul.  

Let us not forget about royalty.  Although not perhaps celebrities as we think of them still important figure heads that are within the public eye.  How about the gorgeous Silly Bandz of the Duchess of Windsor or Umbero II of Italy.  Then there was Princess Mary of Great Britain who was seldom seen without her Silly Bandz.  

To more modern times, what about that beautiful engagement ring that Camela Parker Bowls was seen wearing.  An outstanding piece of jewelry on a women that quite commonly presents herself in a very traditional refined style.  No glamour here except for that drop dead gorgeous ring!

Whether we are talking about Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, or Katie Holmes celebrities give us the opportunity to see Silly Bandz designs in play.  They instantly help develop a desire for a certain Silly Bandz piece or look.  

We’ve got plenty we can learn from the styles of celebrities.  And once these designer Silly Bandz pieces grab hold it isn’t long before someone is making a similar piece that our pocket books can afford.

So keep watching the stars for great jewelry to make your fashion statement!

Alexandrite jewelry makes a perfect gift

It’s difficult deciding what gift to buy for your loved woman, but the perfect one consists in perfect alexandrite jewelry. It is a known fact that women love gemstones and this way you can be sure your gift won’t fail expectations.

When you must make a valuable gift to your girlfriend or future wife the most appropriate one will consist of alexandrite silly bandz. Natural alexandrite is the gemstone used to make veritable alexandrite jewelry. In this article you can find details about the many qualities of alexandrite jewelry so you can be sure your gift is a special one.

What makes a natural alexandrite special from the other gemstones is its color changing property. The color of this gemstone is emerald-green in a natural or phosphorescent light and red or purple in incandescent light. Natural alexandrite is not the only stone that changes its color depending on different light sources. However this gemstone has the most radical changes. Therefore one can see why alexandrite jewelry is such a special gift.

There are 3 categories of color change:
-Top -> in this category one can find the natural alexandrite which changes the color up to 90%-100%.
-Medium -> this second category has natural alexandrite that changes the color up to 70%-80%
-Slight -> and finally there is the alexandrite jewelry with 30%-69% color change.
Because of its property to change color, natural alexandrite is very appreciated between jewelers, investors and eccentrics.

Rusia is the country where this gemstone was discovered, near to Ekaterinburg in 1830 and the name alexandrite comes from the Alexander II. The excavations for natural alexandrite were started in the Ural Mountains. This place was the most important one from which the natural alexandrite reached the Russian jewelers.
A lot of people do business with alexandrite. Randy G. Lander is one of them. She developed a passion for this gemstone and started making alexandrite jewelry in 1994.  She continues the tradition of trading like her ancestors, the Khazars. The Khazars from which she descends used to trade jewelry with many countries using medieval well-known trade routes. This is why Randy G. Lander is the most suitable person to give advice when buying alexandrite jewelry.
There were many beliefs in the past regarding the therapeutic and magical powers of natural alexandrite.  Some doctors used it to heal diseases and this is the reason why alexandrite jewelry used to be very popular. There was also the idea that the possessor of a natural alexandrite would only have good luck. Due to these myths and legends, the interest for alexandrite jewelry grew, but it also led to the creation of many forgeries. The best-made imitations of natural alexandrite are produced in special high-tech laboratories in Russia. The jewels made with artificial alexandrite are less expensive and can be bought by anyone.

There are ways to verify the authenticity of a natural alexandrite, but it is better if one lets a competent gemologist do this job. He will not scratch or deteriorate the reflective surface of the gemstone (as a client should in order to determine whether it is natural or not). The gemstone will be analyzed under magnification for certain patterns, inclusions, black spots, color and this process will only take a few minutes. This way you can avoid buying a fake alexandrite (like crysoberyl ) at the price of a natural one.

When buying such a gift for your girlfriend or wife, please take time to consider the qualities of alexandrite jewelry. Just imagine and see how irresistible the idea of having a rare and valuable jewel on the hand or neck of your loved one is. A perfect jewel is certainly the way to make a perfect gift.

Cubic Zirconia Jewelry versus Diamonds Jewelry

Since coming to the world’s attention in the 1830s, diamonds in has been a favorite of stones for jewelry. Not everyone can afford to buy diamonds, so the search for the best man-made version has been battled for years.

Since coming to the world’s attention in the 1830s, diamonds in has been a favorite of stones for jewelry. Not everyone can afford to buy diamonds, so the search for the best man-made version has been battled for years. Cubic Zirconia is considered to be the best man-made diamond for jewelry on the market today. There are several reasons some people do not purchase diamond jewelry. The first on being the over-inflated price some believe has been controlled by the DeBeers diamond coalition. Many people believe the prices do not reflect the rarity of diamonds in a fair manner. There have also been studies done showing one third of every diamond sold in the United States today has been altered by an artificial means to increase the value of the diamond. The same studies show young couples on an average are paying 40% too much for their diamond engagement ring. The price is not the only reason some people are no longer gravitating awary from diamond jewelry. There are the issues of the so called "blood diamonds" with the disturbing rumors of forced child labor and several other horrible human atrocities and cruelties. Well-know celebrities have brought it to the attention of Americans by the refusal to wear diamonds on the "red carpet" and have chosen to wear cubic zirconia stones in all their jewelry adornments for the "Oscar’s" and other highly notable celebrity gatherings. A good quality cubic zirconia in jewelry is practically identical from the mined diamonds. Even some jeweler can not tell the difference between a cubic zirconia and a diamond with out the aid of his gemologist’s tool.

The cost of cubic zirconia jewelry is about 75% less than the cost of a mined diamond. There are other synthetic diamonds used in the market today to replace diamonds in jewelry settings. The moissanite is a mineral created by a laboratory as a good diamond replacement stone. It was introduced into the market in the 1990s. It has become the choice of some for their fine jewelry collection. There are those who prefer moissante to cubic zirconia. The moissante match diamond in the hardness of the mineral, but there is a downside. The cost is about $500 per carat and the moissante does not have the brilliance and fire of a diamond or the cubic zirconia. Just recently introduced into the US jewelry market is the Diamond Nexus. The Diamond Nexus is a result of a new scientific processing technique. They are an excellent replacement stone for the mined diamond. They possess all the qualities of a diamond from the hardness to the brilliance and fire. They are only used in precious metal settings and are priced fairly reasonably at $79 a carat.

The Russian cubic zirconias are the cubic zirconia of the highest quality. The Russian cubic zirconia used in jewelry feature superior cutting and polishing techniques. Because of the masterful cutting and polishing techniques used to finish the stones, enhances the brilliance and fire of the stone creating a stone of a much higher quality than those mass produced and machine cut with very little polishing. The Russian cubic zirconias used in jewelry are hand picked from the highest quality raw stones, hand cut by master cutters and hand polished. The specifications used for each of the Russian cubic zirconias are the same as those set down by the Gemological Institute of America for diamonds. The Russian cubic zirconias are barely visible when compared to diamonds by experts. The experts must use advanced gemological tools to discern the differences between the Russian cubic zirconia and a diamond. Because the Russian cubic zirconia has more diffusion with light than a diamond, they have a profusion of fire and brilliance. For my money, I will take a cubic zirconia jewelry over the other synthetic diamond jewelry any day.

The History Of The Wedding Ring

The use of the wedding ring as a symbol of the bond between husband and wife is familiar to us as the concept of marriage itself, but from where did this interesting tradition emerge? The history of wedding rings as they are known today is actually unclear. In an article dating from the July 1869 issue of Appleton’s Journal of popular Literature, Science, and Art, Edward J.

The use of the wedding ring as a symbol of the bond between husband and wife is familiar to us as the concept of marriage itself, but from where did this interesting tradition emerge? The history of wedding rings as they are known today is actually unclear. In an article dating from the July 1869 issue of Appleton’s Journal of popular Literature, Science, and Art, Edward J. Wood hypothesizes that the modern (modern as of 1869) use of wedding rings stems from the practices of ancient Hebrews. It was customary for the family of a prospective groom to give gifts to the potential bride and her family. The general assumption is that it is from this tradition that the use of wedding rings as we know them seems to have evolved. Wedding rings are not specifically mentioned in the Bible, but references do exist that suggest the aforementioned Hebrew practices. Genesis 24:53 in the King James Version reads, “And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things,” speaking of the servant of Abraham, the father of Isaac, who was to wed Rebekah.

The wedding ring first came into use in Christian wedding ceremonies around 870 A.D. The tradition of wearing a wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand also comes from the ancients. In ancient Greece it was believed that an artery from that particular finger led directly to the heart. While we now know this is pure mythology, it does serve as a rather romantic explanation for the tradition. Although the concept of the wedding ring is obviously very old, the ring was almost always worn by the bride. Double-ring wedding ceremonies are rather new. Wedding rings for men were almost unheard of before 1940 and increased in use about the time of the Second World War. According to an October 1953 story in Hobbies, only about 15% of wedding ceremonies included a ring for the groom. After the start of World War II, the percentage jumped to 60%, and then to 70% after the start of the Korean war.

Today it is more common than not for grooms and brides alike to wear a wedding ring. So, why a wedding ring, as opposed to, say, a wedding bracelet or necklace? Religious ceremonies usually include a mention by the officiating clergyman of the ring’s unending circle being representative of both God’s perfect love for humanity and the marrying couple’s undivided devotion to one another. While the precise origin of the wedding ring is unclear and lost to history, today we recognize the wedding ring as a symbol of the unity of marriage. The couples of today also generally choose their wedding rings together, thus adding to the personal symbolism that the jewelry carries for them. Additionally, the wedding ring serves as a social symbol in today’s world, signifying to others that this man or woman is “spoken for.”

The Omega replica watch

An overview of the replica Omega world

Till about the year 2000, an Omega watch was a to me. I had developed an interest in space due to the fact that my father has been a rocket physicist and was involved in a lot of space programs. I was glued to the monitor or a TV whenever there was a space launch. The same fervor that I share for space, I share for an Omega watch today, especially for the Omega Speedmaster Professional, alias the Moonwatch. I had always held in awe, a few of my acquaintances who sported the Omega Moonwatch, until I was told it was not the original but an Omega replica watch. I did not know that replica watches have evolved so greatly, when my eye that has been experienced in looking at and admiring an Omega Moonwatch could not see that the watch worn by my acquaintances has been an Omega replica watch. Late in 2000, when I had an opportunity to shop for a new watch for myself, I was fresh out of college and just got a job, with the first month’s wages in my pocket. It was obvious that my craving to own an Omega Speedmaster has only increased.

I decided to have a look at the Omega website to shop for models that suited my aesthetic senses and my pocket. I wanted an Omega watch, an Omega watch that suited my personality, symbolically and functionally. I came across the 40 th year anniversary edition of the Moonwatch bought out by Omega in 1997. Although it caught my senses and blocked them for some time, it really appeared to burn my pants along with my pockets. Well, I saw that I really could not afford to own it, but, it infused a sense of extreme interest in me to know more about Omega and Omega replica watches so that I will be able to wear one some day. My interest and research led me to one of the biggest markets of Omega watches in the recent years, China. The fact that, the basic concept and functionality of a watch is to tell time and nothing more is the fundamental principle of the Chinese or for that matter most markets world wide.

A watch is also a status symbol and a fashion accessory and a symbol of wealth, come to the fore when we come to the high worth individual markets. In the markets of conspicuous consumption like the far east or the middle east, publicity of where you bought something and for how much is more important the product itself. So, the replica watches sell, since they are scarily close in resemblance to the originals with more or less the same functionality. The originals cost the earth and the replicas give you most of the earth without really burning your pockets.

The moral dimension of buying an Omega replica watch is certainly an important consideration. Buying a replica watch is more akin to downloading free music from the internet. The original manufacturers invest a lot in producing, marketing and selling the merchandise and the replica makers cash in on the popularity within a few weeks by selling at a fraction of the original price. So buying a replica watch may tantamount to stealing. Well, considering the fact that an Omega replica watch looks good on my wrist and appeals to my sense of importance, I had to make a decision on my moral issues while buying it, whether to spend about $10000 on an original or buy an omega replica watch at $200. Money is important and it always wins.

Titanium vs. Gold, Silver and Platinum

Either you are buying it as a gift or for yourself, there are many reasons why titanium jewelry can be a better choice than jewelry made in traditional precious metals like gold, silver and platinum.

 

silicone wristband

: Either you are buying it as a gift or for yourself, there are many reasons why titanium jewelry can be a better choice than jewelry made in traditional precious metals like gold, silver and platinum. Firstly, titanium is highly corrosion resistant and therefore does not tarnish easily. Especially for high-polish finished jewelry like gold and silver wedding band rings, it is expected that the jewelry will lose its color and shine over time. Even if they are stored properly in jewelry boxes or safe, the oxygen in the air reacts with the metals and turns the color. This process is of course accelerated if the jewelry is worn daily because the sweat combined with body temperature, acts as catalysts to the chemical process. Also, titanium is hypoallergenic, which means that very few people have skin that is sensitive to it. People who are allergic to gold, silver or, more commonly, nickel, which is found in most gold and silver jewelry, don’t have to worry about outbreak when wearing jewelry made from titanium and its alloys. A widely known property about titanium is its durability.

It is this attribute that makes it perfect for active individuals who frequently engage in outdoor activities, even water sports. It is not uncommon that people find their gold or silver jewelry damaged, or even lost, after a day of exciting outdoor events. These disappointments can easily be avoided if titanium jewelry is worn instead. In addition, titanium has a high strength to weight ratio. In other words, although it is much stronger than gold and silver jewelry, even steel, it is much lighter and hence more comfortable

What Your Jeweler Would Not Want You To Know

Are you thinking of buying some jewelry? You should know that buying jewelry is not free of risks.

rubber wrist bands

Are you thinking of buying some jewelry? You should know that buying jewelry is not free of risks.

 

There are numerous reasons why a jeweler would want you to know certain things. And the prime amongst them is because you will stop buying jewelry from him! But as wise men have said, ‘all that glitters is not gold’ and ‘every stone that sparkles isn’t a diamond’, so you should be careful and cautious when you go to buy jewelry. Here is a checklist of a few important things that your jeweler would not want you to know.

Diamond Sale? You must be kidding!
Did the recently published diamond jewelry on sale add tempt you enough to visit your local jewelry for a peek at what’s on sale? Or did you think, “Let me buy that diamond ring that I always wanted. After all, it’s on sale now!” Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is really no such thing as a Diamond Sale! Jewelers can’t afford to sell diamond jewelry, in specific, at reduced prices because DeBeers, who controls 65% of the market, won’t allow it. The diamond that are actually on ’sale’ are either flawed or of low quality or both.

The "Perfect" Diamond Myth
Technological and scientific advancements have definitely helped the diamond industry. Now they sell diamonds that have received a facelift. These diamonds appear ‘perfect’, ‘flawless’ and ‘brilliant’. But if truth be told, these diamonds are artificially treated using either fracture filling method, a treatment that is used to fill visible cracks in the stone with a glasslike substance or then they are artificial stone because they appear just like the real rock. Needless to say, these treatments make these stones look just like the real thing and are passed off as the real stuff. Be Careful!

Precious Gemstones or Just Dyed Color Beads?
We all know that precious gemstones like emeralds rubies, sapphires are increasingly becoming rare. But did you know that many jewelers pass of colored glass beads as these gemstones and quote you ridiculously high prices for them? Yes. Moreover, many of the real gemstones are subjected to heading or oiling processes to make them look more beautiful. This is not bad, but you must check with the salesperson if they have such stones. If you have doubts, then get the stones appraised from a reliable external source.

African Blood Diamonds
Blood Diamonds? No, we aren’t talking about the Leo DiCaprio movie. We are talking about the subject of that movie. Diamonds mined in African countries such as Sierra Leone, Angola, or the Congo are called ‘Blood Diamonds’. This is because slave laborers toil endlessly in the mines risking their lives to find diamonds and some of this money is given to warlords who use it to buy weapons to kill innocent civilians. It may not be possible for your jeweler to tell you the origin of the diamond as it changes many hands. Moreover, there is really no way to certify that a diamond is "conflict-free".

Pearls?
We are sure you already know that there are two types of pearls. Natural and cultured pearls. Did you know that natural pears are rare and very expensive, while cultured pearls are easily available? The sign of a real pearl is the nacre. Thick nacre is indicative of the fact that the pearl you hold in your hand is the real stuff. Nacre is the lustrous natural coating that emanates from the nucleus of the pearl and covers it, thus making it glow. Of course, thick nacre means more glow, and a purer pearl. Typically, pearl jewelry that is sold around $150 is made from artificial pearls and not worth investing in as it’s bound to be spoiled soon.

Antique Jewelry? Sure We have it!
Antique jewelry or estate pieces (pieces crafted between 1890 -1960) are a worthwhile investment, because they are hard to find and can always become the next fashion trend. But not all “estate” jewelry pieces are authentic and genuinely old. Beware of being conned in buying antique jewelry that has been crafted as recently as 1990 or later and given a finish that makes it look like is it an ancient piece of jewelry. Additionally, don’t buy revamped antique jewelry, if you can make out its been revamped of course. Revamping diminishes the value of the piece by almost half. If at all you are buying antique jewelry then get your jeweler to write down the following: when and where the piece was made, its condition, the type of metal or stones used, and whether they’ve been treated, and whether the stones are the original gems.

Extended Jewelry Warranties. Don’t Bother With It!
Jewelers are selling extended warranties for just a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. These warranties become a burden because they cover only partial loss. You’d be better off buying a new insurance policy that can protect your jewelry against all kinds of loss including theft, death by garbage disposal and more.

Remember, caution is the key to buying good jewelry. Always do your research before buying jewelry and stay safe.

Articles versus Blog and Ping - Which is more effective at building your sites search engine position?

Filed under: Uncategorized

Articles are more effective at building website search engine rank than the old blog and ping method. I discovered that an article I published 4 months ago is now on over 800 websites and my PR has jumped from 3 to 5. Read my comparison of articles vs blog and ping.

Articles vs. Blog and Ping

I think it’s time for many Affiliate Marketers (AM) to reconsider their methods for building their web sites Search Engine position. I have been using Blog and Ping techniques for about a year now, but blog and ping is slowing loosing its effectiveness because so many AM’s are using the method.

If you’ve been living on the dark side of the moon, then you may not know what Blog and Ping is all about. Well, in a nutshell, blog and ping is a technique for increasing your websites position by creating blogs and using software that automatically posts to those blogs along with links back to your main website. The blogs then ping Blog services to notify them that some new content is available. The ping services then attract Search Engine spiders and before to long, you’re website is spidered.

This solution worked like wonders about a year ago (2005), but is loosing its effectiveness because all the blog and ping tools create mediocre content that is all based on Search Engine scrapes or RSS feeds. You end up getting a blog site full of useless information with links back to your web page. The Search Engines have caught on and they are able to filter out the bad content. In fact, it may actually be hurting your website. There’s no proof yet, but I would expect that all the SE’s will soon start penalizing websites that are trying to boost their position through blog and ping techniques.

That brings me to articles. About four months ago, I wrote an article and posted it to ArticleCity. After I submitted it, I forgot about it. Just yesterday, during a moment of boredom, I thought about that article and decided to do some research. Had anyone picked it up? A quick search on Google showed that the article has been published on 802 different websites! I also noticed that after Google’s last update, the Page Rank (PR) of my affiliate marketing website went up nicely from 3 to 5.

This was with just ONE ARTICLE submitted to just ONE ARTICLE SITE that I put together in :30 minutes. I was floored.

Considering how much time I’ve spent configuring blog and ping software, how many unneeded domains I’ve purchased to make traffic all look like it’s coming from different directions, how hard I’ve worked trying to find content for the B&P software, etc…. I would have been much better off just writing good, informative articles. 

Another huge reason to go with Articles over Blog and Ping is content longevity. Your article will be posted onto many websites. Perhaps hundreds of websites. That content is real and meaty, just like what Google and the others are looking for. It’s not bogus content that will get yanked by the SEs. This means that algorithm update after algorithm update, the articles that point back to your website will remain within the search engines. This is HUGE.

Over the last few months, Google has made several updates to their algorithm which resulted in TONS of websites loosing their rankings. My site, which relied on ONE ARTICLE and no blog and ping actually went up in the rankings.

So if you’ve been using Blog and Ping to promote your site and you’ve been unhappy with the results, now is the time to consider writing articles and publishing them on the Article websites.

Writing an article and posting it to one article submission site is easy. Writing an article and posting it to hundreds of article sites is time consuming and difficult. For this reason, I recently purchased some software called Article Submitter Pro which automates the entire process. Article Submitter Pro can submit to over 700 article directories and is a snap to set up. If you want to try articles to promote your web page and you want to make the process as simple as possible, then I highly recommend that you check out Article Submitter Pro to make the whole process as simple as possible.

Here’s to a successful and profitable day!
