Every dog has their day

2008-10-12T14:57:00.003-04:00

Show a little love for your pooch with this sassy heart and bone pendant. You can pamper you baby and put it right on the collar, or wear it yourself as a reminder of what you have waiting for you to return home.

The sterling silver hollowback heart pendant is light-weight and durable, making it a sensible choice for your furry companion. Even dogs need a little bling now and again. The framed cut-out little dog bone is crusted with round-cut cubic zirconia in a bezel setting, which may bring the argument back around for you to wear it instead. Why not buy a matching set for the two of you?

Whomever you choose to buy this classic pendant for, it will definitely be a treasured reminder of what the term, “man’s best friend” really means to you and your pooch.

Sparkling heart

2008-10-12T14:49:00.002-04:00

This piece is so eye-catching. The folded over top of the large heart pendant hugs any chain it is put onto and lies so beautifully. The bezel settling of the cubic zirconia on the pendant gives it a rich, immense shine.

What I find most stunning about this piece, truly, is the placement of it on a chain. It has the ability to slide gorgeously and it definitely commands attention with the cubic zirconias placed ever so perfectly throughout – adding just that extra touch to the sterling silver settling.

This would be a great gift to yourself. The larger size of the necklace allows for it to be worn without large earrings, just add cubic zirconia studs to complete the look and dress up a plain outfit.

Add a little sparkle to your life and pick up this pendant today.

Three times a charm.

2008-10-12T14:41:00.003-04:00

This three row cubic zirconia bracelet is definitely a crowd pleaser. The 7” link chain allows it to easily move and shape around the wrist, making for a comfortable wear. The three rows of gorgeous round-cut cubic zirconias cannot be missed. Their cut allows them to shine immensely, attracting attention to your great new tennis bracelet. The best part of this piece, however, is the rhodium plating that covers the sterling silver.

As I mentioned before, rhodium is an extremely expensive metal that is just as hard - and sparkles such as well - as platinum. Metals that are plated with rhodium are extremely durable and also seem to hold a beautiful gleam over time with little extra care.

If you’re looking for an everyday wear that is above the ordinary and requires minimal care to keep looking great, then this is the piece for you.

Everlasting hugs and kisses

2008-10-12T14:32:00.003-04:00

This bracelet is a twist on a great classic. The XOXO bracelet (or at times referred to lovingly as the “hugs and kisses” bracelet) has a sparkling cubic zirconia heart for every “o”. The 7” link bracelet has a sterling silver setting, which is durable, long lasting and beautiful.

The development of the cubic zirconia for this piece is gleaming, cut with many facets that allow a great reflection of light to bounce back, creating the sparkle. The heart shaped cubic zirconia is cut very similar to the round-cut or pear-shaped cubic zirconia found in other pieces. It will definitely add dazzle to anyone’s wrist.

If you’re looking for a gift to give someone you truly care about, look no further. The XOXO bracelet makes the perfect gift for that special someone. Send permanent hugs and kisses through this gorgeous bracelet.

Circular pendants: More than what meets the eye

2008-10-12T14:04:00.006-04:00

If you’re looking for unique, yet simple necklace – look no further. This beautiful sterling silver circle necklace encloses brilliant round-cut cubic zirconias. Placed on a thin 16” chain, it adds a delicate, yet smart look to this gorgeous piece.

The way that the cubic zirconia is placed within this pendant is absolutely stunning. The gems are tightly placed next to each other – making the look almost like that of a bezel setting. The amount of shine and sparkle that the piece picks up due to the placement of the gems is unreal. It will definitely strike the eye.

The beautiful meaning behind a circular pendant that encloses either cubic zirconias or diamonds, which is often referred to as the “Circle of Life” or “Circle of Love” charm, is that those who wear these pendants have continuous or eternal gratitude for everything they’ve come across in life.

Antique jewelry at its best.

2008-10-11T23:55:00.004-04:00

If you’re looking for something antique to add to your jewelry collection, look no further. This beautiful rhodium-plated round cubic zirconia necklace with cubic zirconia added into the link chain is a gorgeous and sophisticated necklace to wear with any outfit.

The 16” sterling silver link chain is light and gives way to showcase the gorgeous 10MM brilliantly round-cut cubic zirconia centerpiece of the necklace. And we can’t overlook the ring of cubic zirconia that frames the impressively sized center stone either – or the added touch of the smaller gems on the link chain.

The rhodium plating is also striking. Rhodium is a very expensive precious metal. It is sometimes used to plate baste metals, such as the sterling silver in this piece, and give it a hard, platinum-like vibrancy. While this piece may look antique, with rhodium as its plating, it’s sure to outlast even some of your toughest pieces of jewelry.

Elegance with a twist

2008-10-11T23:39:00.004-04:00

These fantastic dangling post earrings encase everything that is in style at the moment –unique designs and structure, the emerald-cut and colored cubic zirconia. The distinct circle and hook design holding the emerald setting is eye-catching and gives extra flare to an already exotic piece. The gorgeous citrine color of the center emerald-cut stone is beautifully laid in a rich frame of clear cubic zirconia. The color is flattering to any skin tone, framing the face with its warmth in color.

The overall emerald cut is not cut for brilliance, but instead “step cut”. The step cut is made of larger, longer cuts. These cuts act like mirrors and reflect the light. If you look directly into an emerald-cut stone, it will resemble that of a staircase. The emerald-cut is known for its elegance among all else.

These earrings are glamorous and sure to be a perfect finishing touch to any outfit.

Acknowledge it all.

2008-10-11T23:26:00.004-04:00

These sterling silver triple graduated cubic zirconia drop post earrings are truly stunning. One cubic zirconia for the past, one for the present and one for the future has life captured and celebrated in a gorgeous way. The “past, present, future” representation in the cubic zirconia graduating size is a sweet way to show someone special how much they have meant - and still mean - to you throughout the years. The representation can also show how much you have grown throughout time, making this a great gift to give to yourself or someone else.

The nice thing about these earrings is they can be office chic or night out glam. The way you wear them is completely dependent upon the outfit, making them a very versatile part of your jewelry collection. Also, the round-cut of the cubic zirconia will sparkle brilliantly in any light, definitely bringing even more attention to this gorgeous set.

Tired of the Round-Cut? Try Princess Instead

2008-10-10T20:53:00.003-04:00

This gorgeous beauty is a modern piece that will make anyone look glamorous. The beautifully large princess-cut pink center-stone is framed by two brilliant clear trillion cubic zirconias. The thicker band gives the piece a much more expensive look when worn.

If you love the brilliance that a round-cut cubic zirconia has, but feel that its shape is a little too dull, then the square princess-cut is definitely for you. While most rectangular or square cuts don’t normally have a reputation for sparkling, the way the princess-cut is made allows for the most reflection of light, which in turn will command attention from your ring.

The way that the ring is set is crucial as far as a princess-cut goes. As seen in the ring shown, each corner should be secured by the mounting, as these are easily chipped in everyday wear.

Pear-Shaped: Classy and Refined

2008-10-10T20:15:00.005-04:00

The pear-shaped cubic zirconia mounted in the narrowing silver band of this ring is an elegant choice. It characterizes simplicity and class, but also a taste for the finer things in life. The pear-shaped stone, at times called the “tear drop” gem, was made even more popular by Jessica Simpson’s engagement ring during her late-marriage to Nick Lachey, has the ability to give a thinning illusion to the finger.

Technically, the pear-shaped rings should be worn with the tip pointing to the fingernail, as the tip that makes a pear-shape discernible from a round-cut may be “lost” if pointed in the other direction. However, the choice is up to you as to how you’d like to display you’re smart and attractive new ring.

With the stock market crashing, credit industries in a tight crunch and everyone trying to save a penny one way or another, cubic zirconia gems are definitely an economically sound choice. The synthetic gem is indistinguishable from a diamond to the human eye and definitely an asset to any jewelry collection.

Cubic Zirconia Rings - The Better Choice

2008-04-24T11:23:00.003-04:00

Cubic zirconia rings are now becoming an even more popular choice amongst women. After viewing the film Blood Diamond starring Leonardo De Caprio I personally know a number of woman who have now sworn off diamond rings and have instead opted for cubic zirconia rings instead.

If you're not familiar with cubic zirconia rings you should be aware of the fact that to the naked eye nobody can ever tell the difference between a diamond and a cubic zirconia ring. Also if you polish them regularly and keep them clean they will shine just as brightly on your finger as any diamond. Cubic zirconia rings come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors and best of all when it comes to shopping on a budget choosing a cubic zirconia ring will give you a much wider choice for your money.

If you are shopping for that special ring, or just looking for something sparkling and amazing to add to your jewelry collection then I highly recommend that you check out the wide range of cubic zirconia rings. I know you definitely won't be disappointed especially when you see just how much money you can save.

The Eyes of Texas!!

2008-01-20T21:03:00.000-05:00

As a native Texan, I can proudly show where I am from. I have never found anything like this before. I still can’t decide if I should put it on my charm bracelet, or purchase a beautiful necklace to display that way. I am thinking that a new chain would work best, as more people would be able to view my sterling silver antiqued Texas state charm with “I Love Texas.” What a great way to say to all of the world out there that, “The eyes of Texas are upon you”! Texas is the best state ever, as anyone knows. I am going to surprise all of my Texas friends and family with this fantastic homage to our home state. I unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control don’t live there anymore, but now I can have my sterling silver “I Love Texas” charm with me no matter where I go!!

Music Necklace

2008-01-20T15:09:00.001-05:00

I have the music in me with this really cool sterling silver cubic zirconia G clef necklace. It is filled with approximately forty cubic zirconia round stones. I actually bought this necklace for my daughter, who is in the choir at her high school. She now wants to give them as gifts to her friends who sing along with her too. As a matter of fact, the director is considering them as part of their costume for the spring show. What a great addition this would be to there costumes. The sterling silver cz clef necklace would be welcomed by any music lover, whether they play an instrument, sing in the shower, or just enjoy listening to their favorite tunes.

Pretty Pill Box

2008-01-20T02:51:00.000-05:00

The sterling silver fancy rectangular embossed floral hinged box is NOT you grandmother’s pill box anymore. It is adorned with an exquisite and elaborate design, which brings attention to what is on the box, not what is in it. This silver hinged box can be used for a multitude of purposes- to hold a cherished ring, your child’s first tooth, or even a lock of hair from a first haircut. Besides being a useful reminder to keep with you at all times to take medication, as an example, the sterling silver fancy rectangular embossed floral hinged box is also a beautiful piece of jewelry. My plan is to use this attractive case for practical purposes, and will pass it along as a family heirloom as well. The detailing in the design is what drew me to purchase this and I have plans to get an additional one for my sister.

More vintage- WOW!!

2008-01-19T19:38:00.001-05:00

WOW is all I can say about this great piece!! Okay, I am sure I can say more. This sterling silver antiqued open loops and curves ring is a true expression of the vintage collections that I have. Sometimes I think that wearing my jewelry is really putting myself out there on display. To discover that new jewelry can still look old styled, is exactly what I want. And apparently what so many others want, because I am always being stopped to ask where I got such “stare” worthy jewelry. Appearance is important to me, as it is a reflection of who I am. The notion of wearing this sterling silver antiqued open loops and curves ring reflects this image perfectly. Maybe I know more about fashion and presentation than I though I did. This ring is so timely, that it will never go out of style, and will always go with everything.
